Cat Wakes Owner up at 6:37 Each Morning—She Finally Realizes Why

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. Cats thrive on routine, and once a mealtime is established, they stick to it and ensure that everyone else stays on track, as one owner learned the hard way. Magic, the black cat, has always been demanding, the owner told Newsweek via TikTok. He'll want to go outside, then right back in. He cries for attention and food. And the thing that all the demands have in common? It always starts early in the morning. Trying to avoid the cat's early-morning wake-up call, the owner said they'll close the door to keep him out of the bedroom. But then they are just met with crying meows and scratches at the door. In the owner's TikTok video posted to the account @magicandweasley earlier this week, Magic was fed up that breakfast had been delayed. He couldn't believe the owner slept through mealtime, and when a few of his demands weren't enough, he took it to the next level by waking her up with bright lights. Magic sat in front of her mirror, which is framed by bulbs. With a quick flick of his paw, he switched on the harsh lights, bright and early at 6:37 a.m. Magic turned around, staring her directly in the eyes. His hanger—anger and hunger—did the talking; he had had enough of his owner sleeping in on the weekends. She learned very quickly that there would be no sleeping in. There was no time to adjust to the morning sun gradually with a needy and hungry cat living there.

"He goes to the room and starts to scratch the window and mirror," the owner said. "And one day, he hit the spot that turns the lights on, and now that's what he does; he scratches the mirror until he finds it." What Do the Comments Say? The TikTok clip reached over 2.4 million views and nearly 500,000 likes as of Friday. "I like your sunrise alarm clock butler dressed in black. Very prompt, very reliable," commented a viewer, while a second added: "I feel like even if you unplugged it, he would just do something worse." A third posted: "The look at you after they've done it is diabolical." From Magic's point of view, someone wrote: "Oh look at the light shining ON MY EMPTY BOWL."

Hysterics as Woman Is Attacked by Seagull at the Mall: 'Worst Nightmare'

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. An ordinary trip to the mall turned into a full-blown chase scene when a seagull set his eyes on a young woman and chased her around menacingly. In a viral TikTok video shared on Monday under the username @leah_melby, the woman can be seen sprinting through a car park, gasping as she races for her life, while a seagull hovers above her, ready to attack. After some very tense moments, she finally makes it to safety inside a store, leaving behind the angry bird. The British Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) says that there is actually no such thing as a seagull, just different types of gull, which don't necessarily all live by the sea. The most-commonly spotted gull species along beaches include herring gulls, lesser black gulls, and great black-backed gulls. Each species has distinctive features. While gulls are typically associated with coastal areas, many also reside inland for parts of the year. They are often seen in flocks in open spaces such as parks, sport grounds, farmlands, and landfill sites. Cities provide them with suitable nesting spots on rooftops, and offer a continuous supply of food, with fewer natural predators, making it a very attractive habitat for gulls. To prevent gulls from nesting on rooftops, it is recommended to take precautions during the winter, before the birds begin to settle, and to steer clear from chicks and nests. If close contact is unavoidable, then hold an umbrella open as a deterrent. Stock image: A seagull walks through a park.

One user, Maja, commented: "The search being 'seagull attacks Sweden' like? Ehh the whole country? How does it do that?" Neon said: "What the hell is wrong with white women and seagull beef." Moon The Bunny added: "Welcome to Canada, Folks. In Ontario you can befriend Seagulls so this doesn't happen, I can proudly say that growing up I made friends with a lot of seagulls, which they in turn attacked people around me."

Spartanburg Co. shares new Helene recovery data

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – The Spartanburg County Emergency Management is asking residents what the community needs to recover from Hurricane Helene. Emergency Management shared in a media release that newly updated Helene data revealed many members of the community still have a lot of unmet needs. Data from the agency revealed that, as of June 2025, more than 500 properties in Spartanburg County have still not recovered from Helene. These unmet needs can range from tree damage to shorted HVAC systems, but data further shows that a majority of community needs focus on debris assistance and home damage. A majority of people seeking aid are also over the age of 65. 'At this time, there are more unmet needs than resources,' said Emergency Management. To help address community needs, Emergency Management established a new Long Term Recovery Group that is dedicated to Helene Recovery. The group has officially partnered with the Spartanburg County Foundation, United Way and others. For anyone still requiring assistance from Hurricane Helene, Emergency Management asked that they provide information regarding their needs. Spartanburg residents can find the link to share their needs here. Emergency Management asks county members to donate or volunteer with a local non-profit, such as Rebuilding Together, Eight Days of Hope, Team Rubicon and more, if in a well enough position to assist their community.
