Missing deaf cat hitches a ride 170 miles from home

Quinn was rescued after being found near some bins at an A1 service station A deaf cat that went missing six weeks ago has been found at a service station about 170 miles (274km) away from home after apparently hitching a ride. Quinn, aged eight, disappeared from St Helens in Merseyside, despite rarely venturing outside her owner's garden. It is thought she managed to get into a van or lorry and ended up at services on the A1 in Peterborough, where she was found on Thursday, yowling and scavenging near some bins.

See how your Connecticut school scored on state accountability ratings

Each year, one number offers parents, students, policymakers and residents alike an impression of how well Connecticut schools and districts are doing.

Breaking down UConn women's 2026-27 season roster

Geno Auriemma is back to having a manageable roster. After having an NCAA maximum of 15 scholarship players last year, UConn women’s basketball has just 13 to start the 2026-27 season. It’s the first time in four years that the Huskies have had fewer than 14 players. Auriemma, who begins his 42nd season, voiced his frustrations last year working with a maxed-out roster. The long bench not only made rotations difficult, but also made it hard to get everyone minutes. Auriemma works best with a small rotation. UConn lost five players in the offseason to either graduation or the transfer portal. Azzi Fudd (selected No. 1 overall by Dallas), Serah Williams (drafted No. 33 by the Connecticut Sun before getting traded to Portland) and Caroline Ducharme moved on to the professional stage. Ayanna Patterson (Kentucky) and Ice Brady (Florida State) left for other programs via the portal. In their…
