Cat in shelter is more like a dog ‘in all the best ways' — and a ‘bit of a diva'
A cat with a dog-like personality (and a scarily popular name) is looking for a new home that will appreciate her canine ways in Texas.
Meet Church — yes, the same name as a famous cat in Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary' — a cat who only cats when it's convenient for this little beauty, and who is itching to be someone's next best friend.
'Church is a gorgeous, fluffy gray girl with a heart full of adventure and a serious love for attention,' the South Plains Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Lubbock said in a May 15 Facebook post.
'This spirited feline is anything but ordinary — she's more dog than cat in all the best ways. She loves going on little adventures (on a leash, of course), being carried around like the queen she is, and getting endless pets, scratches, and lap time.'
Of course, she still does all the lovable things cats do, which include warming laps and making biscuits, and she hates confinement (she prefers a leash).
'She's also a bit of a diva and wants all your affection to herself, so she'll need to be the only cat in the home. But with a personality as bold and affectionate as hers, she's all the feline you'll need,' the shelter continues. 'If you're looking for a fluffy best friend who acts a little like a dog, loves hard, and explores life with you — Church is your girl.'
Currently, Church isn't listed on the shelter's website, so for more updates, check out the shelter's Facebook page.

Tom Hiddleston Breaks Down His Dance Moves in ‘The Life of Chuck' and If He'd Ever Do a Musical
After building his career on dramatic roles and as Marvel's Loki, Tim Hiddleston is trying out a new title in his upcoming movie The Life of Chuck: dancer. The film, which won the audience award at TIFF last year, is adapted from a Stephen King novella and follows three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz (played in part by Hiddleston) whose death coincides with the end of the world. Along the way, it also features plenty of dancing from the actor. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Andor' Team Breaks Down Their Favorite Series Moments, Including That Mon Mothma Speech Why FX's 'Adults' Team Has Been Partying at Laundromats Ralph Macchio on Decision to Return to 'Karate Kid' Films and Future of the Franchise 40 Years In 'I've never danced quite like this before and I had some steps to dance, some miles to go before I felt skilled enough and practiced enough to pull off some of the techniques and styles that Chuck pulls off,' Hiddleston told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's Los Angeles premiere on Monday. 'I have a great affection for movie musicals, I really was thinking about them a lot in making this — thinking about Swing Time and Singin' in the Rain and Cover Girl.' Tom Hiddleston reveals he is open to a role in a movie musical and talks about what famous dance movies inspired his performance in #TheLifeofChuck — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 3, 2025 He continued, 'I've always loved dance in movies and it's not actually just those, if you think about Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing or Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in The Mask or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer or Little Miss Sunshine, dance is a part of the DNA of movies.' And as for if he'd ever star in a musical himself, Hiddleston joked, 'No one's knocking on the door yet but I'm always open.' Co-star Karen Gillan teased she had seen Hiddleston dance before so she knew he had moves, but seeing him in the movie 'was a whole other level. I was blown away by what he did in this film.' His dancing even played a part in him getting the job, as director Mike Flanagan revealed he saw Hiddleston grooving on a late-night show and 'it wasn't the dancing that made me say, 'That's him,' it was the joy on his face. It's that regardless of if he was nailing the steps, he was feeling and channeling this incredible happiness. I said, 'That is exactly what this movie needs,' and he's perfect in it.' Karen Gillan reveals she was 'blown away' by Tom Hiddleston's dance moves in #TheLifeofChuck — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 3, 2025 The uplifting, emotional film is a stark change from what King is known for, and the same can be said for Flanagan, who has mostly worked in the horror genre. But, the filmmaker said, 'I think Steve, kind of at his heart, he's an optimistic humanist. Even in the darker stories, that's always there for him.' 'This feels more Stephen King to me than a departure, this is who he really is,' Flanagan added. 'This was a really special thing to work on together. I'm so grateful he trusted me with it and if it makes people a fraction as happy as his short story made me when I read it then we're onto something.' Flanagan also commented on releasing this film in this current climate, after initially reading the novella during the pandemic shutdown. 'It really gave me an enormous amount of hope and comfort at that time; I feel like I need that now maybe more than I did then, and I think unfortunately for us we're all going to need it, we're all going to need reminders of that,' he explained. 'So I hope as dark as things may be, people feel some of the love and optimism and the comfort that this story has in it.'

Mike Flanagan Is Working Closely with Stephen King on THE DARK TOWER TV Adaptation: "I'm Not Gonna Let Him Down" — GeekTyrant
Mike Flanagan is still hard at work developing his adaptation of Stephen King's magnum opus The Dark Tower series, and according to the filmmaker, it's just taking time because, well… it's that big. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Flanagan offered a candid update when asked about the long-gestating project: 'It's not that I've put it down. It's just that the thing is so big, it's like building an oil tanker. We've been moving it forward this whole time. 'It's just, that's how big it is. It's constantly in the works, and you better believe as often as you guys may want to ask about it, Stephen King is asking me about it more, and I'm not gonna let him down.' Flanagan is 100% committed to the project and he's collaborating directly with the author himself. King even confirmed earlier this year that he's actively writing material for the series: 'All I can say is, it's happening. I am writing stuff now, and I think that's all I want to say, because the next thing you know, I'll stir up a bunch of stuff I don't necessarily want to stir up yet. I'm in process right now, and to say too much feels like a jinx.' While Flanagan's Dark Tower hasn't landed at a streamer or officially gone into production yet, it is fully outlined. The plan is to make it a five-season series that gives the epic eight-book saga the breathing room it needs. If there's anyone who will be able to do it right, it's Flanagan. His track record with King's work speaks for itself: Gerald's Game , Doctor Sleep , and the upcoming The Life of Chuck , which hits theaters June 6. All these projects have all shown he gets the tone, the heart, and the horror that comes with adapting King's work. He's also developing a new take on Carrie . When Flanagan first announced the project, he said that the pilot script is 'one of my favorite things I've ever gotten to work on.' He shared at the time: 'I wrote a pilot, we view it as a as a series that's going at least five seasons. And having lived with this project as long as I have, I have an enormous amount of it worked out in my brain. 'But I have a pilot script I'm thrilled with and a very detailed outline for the first season and a broader outline for the subsequent seasons. 'I think eventually, if we're able to get it going, there are some other writers I want to fold into that process whom I've worked with before; I think they would be really fabulous for a very small, intimate writers room where we can continue to break it. 'I'll tell you, more than half of my life, I've closed my eyes and been able to watch a lot of this play out, I've dreamed about this. 'That first shot which comes right off at the first incredible sentence of the first book, The Gunslinger, I've had that image just rattling around in my head since I was an undergrad. It's going to have to get out of there eventually, I really need to get it out of my head. 'The pilot script is one of my favorite things I've ever gotten to work on. It's been surreal working on that. So we've been floored and grateful that Stephen King trusts us with such an undertaking, something so precious to him, and we hope to find the right partners to realize it.' The director has been adamant that his adaptation will stick as close to the source material as possible. Back in 2022, Flanagan said: 'It would look like the books. The way not to do The Dark Tower is to try to turn it into something else, to try to make it Star Wars or make it Lord of the Rings . 'It is what it is, what it is is perfect. It's just as exciting as all of those things and just as immersive. It's a story about a tiny group of people, all the odds in the whole world are against them, and they come together. As long as it's that, it'll be fine and there won't be a dry eye in the house.' I cant wait to see what he does with this story!
