Lansing man begs for help to save his cat, stuck in tree for four days
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A Lansing man is begging for help to save his cat Mama, who has been stuck in a tree near his Howe Street home for four days. The owner of Mama, Mark Hiar, says his neighbor's dog attacked a woman walking nearby, and while the dog was loose, it chased the cat up a large tree near his home. He says the fire department and Animal Control won't help, and tree service companies are asking him for more than $350 to rescue the cat. Now retired, Hiar says he can not afford the price to save Mama and is worried things may not end well. 'She's probably starving hungry. I sprayed her with the hose a few times so that she'd have some water, but she don't have any food, so. And apparently, cats don't last very long,' Hair said. 'So if nothing can be done, then I guess I'll just have to wait. I'll get up one morning, and she won't be out in the branch. She'll be down here.' Hiar is leaning on help from neighbors during this difficult time, and he is still seeking services to rescue Mama from the tree before time runs out. 6 News has already received a large influx of calls and emails from the community about gathering help for Hiar.

Rarely Seen Heavy Metal Icon Has Exciting News For Fans
The world of rock was never the same after Black Sabbath. The four lads from Birmingham—, , Geezer Butler and Bill Ward— solidified the sound we call heavy metal with their self-titled debut album. But for decades, one question remained: who was the "witch" on the cover of Black Sabbath? With long, dark hair and a flowing black coat, the unnamed, intimidating figure stood amongst the weeds, casting her spell. For decades, no one knew that this woman was model Louisa Livingstone. And now, heavy metal maniacs have an opportunity to secure a rare artifact: her autograph. The former model and actress announced that she will raffle off her autograph and a personalized letter to fund a cat rescue project. "Many Black Sabbath fans have asked me online for my autograph, and to this day, nobody has one - for a variety of reasons! But I have now decided, at this epic time with Black Sabbath doing their last ever gig, to raffle my autograph," wrote Livingstone. Raffle tickets cost £1 (or USD 1.35) each, and fans can make multiple purchases to increase their chances of winning. The drawing takes place on July 20, two weeks after Black Sabbath's final show ever. Livingstone hopes to raise funds to purchase property for her cat haven. "I am aware it may sound rather optimistic, but there are literally millions of Black Sabbath fans around the world, and if just a small proportion bought a raffle ticket costing very little, it could be life-changing for my cat rescue efforts," she added. Livingstone's identity as the witch on Black Sabbath stayed a mystery until Rolling Stoneconfirmed it in 2020. "I had no idea I was so popular until after the…interview and article when fans sent me photos of their tattoos bearing my image," she wrote. Louisa says she hasn't made any money off her likeness and "haven't been in a position to sign any autographs anywhere at all." "However, if you feel moved to buy raffle tickets," she wrote, "you will be helping the 'witch on the Black Sabbath cover' to do a lot more for cats that need help and looking after."Rarely Seen Heavy Metal Icon Has Exciting News For Fans first appeared on Parade on May 28, 2025
