In Foster Care, animals with similar experiences come together and finally feel the love they’ve been missing. Being in the same situation helps them open up and care for each other easily. This is where friendships are formed, and it’s truly amazing to witness these special connections. Today, we have a heartwarming story about two shelter cats who seem like true brothers, despite their different backgrounds. Let their tale touch your heart and remind you of the power of love in our lives.

It’s truly inspiring to see people go the extra mile to help animals in need. Kris Kaiser, a photographer from Plymouth, Minnesota, has been doing a wonderful job supporting cats with special needs. She enjoys taking stunning photos of these cats and creates opportunities for them to find loving forever homes, even though they have health challenges.

Kris Kaiser is a dedicated individual who works with the charity Kitty Revolution. Most of the cats she assists have a neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). This condition makes the cats move in a “wobbly” manner, but it doesn’t cause them any pain. With the right care and attention, these special cats can lead regular and happy lives.

Kris Kaiser once took care of two foster cats, Whirlwind Natalie and Snapple the Tux on Wheels. Now, both of these cats have found loving families where they are cherished and well-cared for.

Kris Kaiser loves helping kittens, and her newest members of the group, Timmy and Bruno, have formed a strong and special bond. Although they are not biologically related, their connection is incredibly close, like true brothers. Kris discovered Timmy, also known as Timmy High Jinx, on a Facebook group. With her care and attention, Timmy thrived and learned to use the litter box without any trouble.

A few months later, another adorable Tabby kitten named Bruno joined Kris’s home and became friends with Timmy. Bruno looks like a smaller version of Timmy. Whenever they were together, Timmy couldn’t resist playing with Bruno, and their games sometimes got so intense that Kris had to step in and separate them to ensure their safety.

People like Kris, who are dedicated to improving the lives of these adorable cats, are truly inspiring. Kittens like Timmy and Bruno not only find loving forever homes but also learn how to thrive and enjoy the company of other kittens facing similar circumstances. It’s heartwarming to see them grow and flourish in a caring environment.
It’s clear that Timmy and Bruno love spending time together. They are great buddies and always seem to have a lot of fun in each other’s company.

It’s just like discovering your very best friend in the whole wide world, and we are grateful to Kris for making this wonderful friendship happen.

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects
![These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/These-Pics-Are-Art-and-the-Artists-Are-Insects.jpg)
Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.
For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.
With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.
1. Zebra longwing
This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug
This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth
Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths
These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly
Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings
Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle
This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper
Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange
This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing
Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer
![Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Eagle-and-Fox-in-an-Epic-Midair-Battle-Over-a-Rabbit-Were-Captured-by-a-Photographer.jpg)
Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.
That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.
In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.
Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”
To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.
The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
