Mystery of Where Cat Has Been Goes Viral: 'Serious Explaining to Do'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The mystery of where a cat spent the night has left the internet in stitches—and sparked an unexpected debate about pet ownership across continents. Ellie Morton (@_ells444), a 28-year-old undertaker from Stockport, U.K., shared footage of her orange and white cat, Enid, returning home with an unexpected accessory: a false eyelash tangled in her tail. The TikTok clip, which racked up 373,800 likes and 1.6 million views, shows Enid waiting at the door, seemingly unbothered by her new fashion statement. "She was sat on the wall in the back garden waiting for me to let her in, even though she has a cat flap, she's just a spoiled princess!" Morton told Newsweek. "And I spotted the eyelash thinking it was a spider until I let her in and saw it was just a big fluffy strip lash. I'm still unsure where it came from as it doesn't look like one of mine because I usually wear individual lashes so the mystery continues!"

She captioned the clip: "Miss girl got some serious explaining to do." While many TikTokers were amused by Enid's party-girl energy, the video unexpectedly opened a heated discussion in the comments about whether cats should be allowed to roam outdoors. "The social media reaction frankly has been awful!!! 48 percent of the commenters are Americans who've been horrible about the fact that I allow her outside even though that's such a common thing here in the U.K.?! I've just had to mute the notifications cause there's too much arguing and name calling going on for me!!" Morton explained. The cultural clash is not surprising, as pet-keeping norms differ significantly between the U.K. and the U.S. In the U.K., it's common for cats to have free access to the outdoors. British cat owners tend to view roaming as natural and enriching for felines, according to Pets4Homes. In contrast, many American owners are advised to keep their pets strictly indoors due to the risks of traffic, predators, and disease. The American Humane Society also recommends keeping cats inside, noting that outdoor cats are more likely to suffer injuries, disease, and shorter lifespans. However, it acknowledges that outdoor experiences can be valuable when done safely and supervised. Still, many commenters jumped to Enid's defense. "Maybe she found a broken hearted baddie and offered cat cuddles because girls support girls," wrote one user named Jen. "In the U.K. almost everyone with a cat lets them roam outside stop accusing her of animal abuse," said another. "She went to the clurb," quipped Katie Olivia. "WHYS EVERYONE SO MAD OVER THE CAT BEING OUTDOORS I DONT UNDERSTAND its so funny reading these comments ur from the uk and ur being warned about COYOTES," one user added. "And I thought cats be jealous when they smell another cat on you," wrote Angie. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Many have been raving about the piece's soft-to-touch feel, with one customer sharing: "I bought the navy sweater with the cherries and just ordered the ivory with the fruit. "I like the cropped style and the weight and material. I did get one snag under the arm but I pulled it through and it is all set. It got caught on a small loop on a mini shoulder purse."

Wednesday star Emma Myers says season 2 has the "perfect" cast: "I had a great time working with all of them"

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Wednesday season 2 is just around the corner, and as the Addams family daughter gets ready to take on another year at Nevermore Academy, co-star Emma Myers has given a positive update on what it was like working with the season's exciting new guest stars. 'So cool. Everybody was so cool in this new season. I think the cast is perfect,' says Myers exclusively to GamesRadar+. 'Everybody fits their roles. Yeah, I had a great time working with all of them. So this next season will be fun.' Wednesday season 2 has added quite the string of famous faces such as Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, and Joanna Lumley. But that's not all as Joker 2 star Lady Gaga is also set to appear, although her role is yet to be disclosed. Of course, original cast members are returning too. Myers will reprise her role as Wednesday's bubbly roommate Enid Sinclair, alongside Wednesday herself Jenna Ortega. Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Guzmán (Gomez Addams), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), and Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester) will also return. The official synopsis for season 2 reads: "This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends, and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery." Although we know that season 2 will hit the streamer sometime in 2025, Netflix is yet to reveal an exact release date. But, don't worry, as you don't have to wait at all to see Myers again, as her new project A Minecraft Movie has just hit the big screen. Starring Myers as protective big sister Natalie, the new video game movie follows four regular world humans (Myers, Sebastian Hansen, Jason Momoa, and Danielle Brooks) as they get pulled into a strange cubic world with their only chance of survival falling fown to an eccentric in-game character named Steve (Jack Black). When asked what she thinks Enid and Wednesday would do if they were pulled into the Minecraft world, Myers replied: "I think they'd both be a little bit freaked out, but then I think quickly Enid would get the hang of it. She'd build a little house out of pink wood or some sheep wool." However, Myers doesn't think Wednesday would fare too well in the Overworld. "I don't think Wednesday would do anything," adds Myers. "She would just stand there and be confused." A Minecraft Movie is out in cinemas now.

John McNeill obituary

My friend John McNeill, who has died aged 67 after a short illness, was one of the UK's leading scholars of romanesque architecture and sculpture. He published articles on romanesque architecture from across Europe, especially monastic buildings, with an interest in elements often overlooked: the beasts inhabiting romanesque arches were a particular passion. Many of those publications were for the British Archaeological Association (BAA), though he produced two excellent volumes in the Blue Guides series, on the Loire and Normandy, and guidebooks for English Heritage. Born in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, John was the son of Enid (nee Burniston) and Gerry McNeill. In 1959 they moved to Retford in Nottinghamshire, where Gerry ran small businesses, assisted by Enid, and where John attended King Edward VI grammar school. Enid had grown up in Syningthwaite Priory, North Yorkshire, a medieval farmhouse that had formerly been part of a Cistercian convent built around 1150, with the northern-most Norman doorway in a dwelling. Childhood visits there nurtured an early interest in medieval architecture for John. This was developed at the University of East Anglia, where he studied art history from 1976, followed by a master's degree at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Before university he had borrowed Enid's Capri to drive across Europe, through Turkey and into Iran, the beginning of a lifetime of investigating buildings. From the 1980s, John taught in continuing education at many institutions, including Birkbeck College, London, and Oxford University. From 1991 he also led tours across Europe, predominantly for Martin Randall Travel. Freedom from regular employment suited him. He was secretary of the BAA from 2001, to which role he brought quiet efficiency, but also huge energy in developing projects. It was there that he met Anna Eavis, a heritage professional whom he married in 2002. The couple moved to Oxford the same year, where Anna is the chief executive of the Oxford Preservation Trust. A gregarious man, John was fond of games, including poker, and a beer connoisseur who was as at home in the pub as in the cloister. The elegance of his shirts was also notable, surprising in a man who was otherwise very unassuming. He was a prodigious organiser of conferences, notably a biennial international romanesque conference that met from 2010 in centres around Europe. These were where his talents were most evident. He had the gift of being able to elucidate buildings in a manner that engaged the professor and novice equally, and through his warmth he fostered in attenders a sense of being part of a family. As well as being an outstanding scholar himself, he was someone who brought out the best in those around him, especially younger researchers, at a time when the study of medieval art is increasingly marginalised. Volumes of the conference proceedings, such as Romanesque Saints, Shrines and Pilgrimage (2020), edited by John and me, brought together contributors from across Europe and the Anglophone world, a rebuke to narrowing specialisation, and were frequently graced with one of his own articles. John continued writing and editing until the end of his life. He is survived by Anna and their son, Freddie, and by a sister, Jane.
