Miraculously, through their unwavering efforts, the cat has now embarked on a journey of recovery, nourishing his frail body with food and replenishing his depleted fluids.

A Bengal cat named Tamarindo has become an internet sensation after a video of him running faster by using a glass door as a launchpad went viral.

In the video, Tamarindo positions his hind legs against the glass door and pushes himself back to gather speed. He then shoots across the room, reaching the other wall in seconds.

The video has been viewed over 2.8 million times and liked nearly 400,000 times on TikTok. Viewers have praised Tamarindo's creativity and speed, with some comparing him to a track star and a race car driver.

Domestic cats can reach speeds of up to 30 mph, but Tamarindo's running technique and aerodynamic body shape may have made him even faster. His story highlights cats' hidden talents and reminds us to be kind to animals and appreciate their unique abilities.

Eloise, a cat from West Columbia, Texas, miraculously survived being shot in the head with a bow and arrow.

Despite having the arrow lodged in her head for several days, Eloise was still walking around an apartment complex when she was found by residents. Animal welfare officers and a veterinarian were called to the scene, and Eloise was taken to a vet clinic.

X-rays revealed that the arrow had missed the bone portion of the skull, and the veterinarian was able to remove it safely. Eloise was given a new name, Miracle, to reflect her amazing survival story.

Miracle is still recovering from the trauma of the incident, but she is doing well. She is purring, eating, and ready to explore.

Local police are investigating the crime as animal cruelty and have offered a reward for any information on the shooter.
