This week's KIX Critter of the week is Talia!!

She was originally adopted from the ARL,  but after 9 years, she was found as a stray. Despite everything, this sweet girl is still all about love and snuggles.

Talia’s all set health-wise too. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped for her safety.

Talia would thrive in a home where she’s the only pet and can get all the attention she deserves. She’ll happily curl up with you or soak up the sunshine. And don’t be surprised if she greets you with a little headbutt—she loves to show affection that way!

If you're looking for a laid-back, snuggly cat, Talia could be the perfect match for you!

The List for Monday, March 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

TMZ says Jay Leno recently drove a tank down a residential street in L.A.  The tank is outfitted with a massive gun, but it's unclear if it's functional. I would say probably not…Jay joked that he was on patrol and keeping everyone safe.. which…of course he drove a tank down his neighborhood…it’s Jay Leno!

-----

Jada Pinkett Smith is not happy that Will passionately kissed a singer during a recent concert. A source says, “With Will out there strutting his stuff and acting like a single man, she's decided it’s time to mirror his antics. Will, on the other hand, insists he’s done nothing wrong and claims he was just 'putting on a show. But Jada feels he’s crossed a serious line.” Wait…what?

-----

An underground explosion happened on the Texas Tech campus this past weekend that caused them to reschedule the Brooks & Dunn concert to this Thursday.  Students were reporting green fire and purple smoke billowing out from pothole covers at different spots on campus.  It looks like the Jokers plans are coming together nicely….

-----

And finally, Morgan Wallen fans will be stoked!  He just revealed that his new album, "I'm the Problem", is "officially done."  He didn't say when it would be released, but that we'd find out more this week.
