'Hello kitties' turns to 'beware bobcats' in Texas
SAN ANTONIO - With big blues eyes and stubby tails, two kittens taken in by a San Antonio family looked adorable until the fiery seven-week-old felines ripped apart formula bottles and repeatedly bit the hands that were trying to feed them. The family, whose name has not been released, told authorities they thought the kittens were the rare and prized domestic breed of Bengal cats. But the tiny felines were actually wild bobcats that were surrendered to a shelter this week, and officials said on Sunday the family was under investigation for possibly violating Texas wildlife laws. "Bengal kittens look like house cats. They do not look like wild cats," San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS) spokeswoman Lisa Norwood said, adding the two species are rarely confused for the other.

Ron Howard
'Star Wars' as big as The Beatles, says Ron Howard
LOS ANGELES - Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard said Sunday directing a movie in the "Star Wars" universe was as daunting as making his Beatles documentary thanks to the intense fan love.Howard, 64, who made the acclaimed "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week" (2016) about the peak years of the Fab Four, told a news conference in southern California he felt just as much pressure on "Solo: A Star Wars Story.""The level of anticipation is unlike anything that I've done. You fall into it and it's amazing. It was a little bit like the Beatles documentary that I took on," said Howard, who won directing and producing Oscars for "A Beautiful Mind" (2002)."I could tell from the moment it was announced, 'Ron, don't (mess) this...
