Curiosity gets cat a back rub

Thursday morning I covered a Farm Bureau event at the Higgins farm in Morris. When I was told I was going to a farm, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect.

It turned out that this farm had tons of different animal, and I was able to get a lot of interesting photos that had absolutely nothing to do with the story.

One of them came to me the second I stepped out of my car. This cat was following another group of people, but when she saw me interested in her, she made a detour.

Apparently cats aren't camera shy; she walked right up to my lens and then brushed up against my leg. If I could share more photos, I'd show one of her kitten too.

Other than the cats, I had some of roosters, turkeys, dogs, and ducks. It would be nice to visit the farm again when I have more time. How often does a suburban guy get the chance to be that close to these animals?

MLB preview: Kansas City Royals

The Royals have enough young talent to make them the team most likely to stop the Tigers from ruling the AL Central for the next few years. But they're a year, or more, away.

MLB preview: Detroit Tigers

Even with Prince Fielder, Detroit may have only the sixth-best roster in the American League in my book (maybe the seventh if the Blue Jays really put it together). In the Central, that is plenty to be the favorite.
