Cat Saved From Certain Doom By Nevada State Police Trooper

It has been said that cats have nine lives. It's also pretty certain that all nine lives end under a car tire. That's probably what was running through the mind of a Nevada State Police trooper who saved a cat on a valley onramp last week.

It happened last week on the on-ramp from Eastern to US95. The video shows Trooper Estrada jumping into action after receiving a call that an animal was spotted on the on-ramp. Luckily she was posted nearby and was on the scene within seconds.

What followed was a stressful game of "catch the kitty". Trooper Estrada, with claw-deterrent gloves on-hand, attempted to scoop up the kitten. But the kitten bolted as though it was an episode of Cops and it had warrants.

Trooper Estrada went on a short pursuit of the kitty who found that it was surrounded with nowhere to go. The trooper got the kitty in hand! She reassured the scared feline by saying "I got you" as she walked back to the cruiser.

Once back in the cruiser, the kitty without a cause once again tried to flee... behind the glove box of the cruiser. That's when another member of the Nevada State Police did his damnedest and was able to coax the gray kitten out from behind it.

The cat, lovingly named by the force as "Trooper Kitty" has since been adopted by a lovely family, but not before encouraging people to join the force. Probably a part of the cat's probation for running from the law.

We are happy to see this kitty get a happy ending and for good deeds to get the recognition they deserve. Cats, man. Why do they do this to us?!

Naming your "baby" is a huge responsibility. This is the name you're going to shout down the street. The name the doctor will read from their clipboard. Your little one's identity for life. We are, of course, talking about your pet. Yeah, sure, your human kids too.

When it comes to naming our human babies, the first stop is the Social Security Administration's popular baby names website. Simply go there, see the top names. Maybe you want a trendy one, maybe you're looking for something off the beaten path. We chose "Mario" for our second boy because it's a well-known, but not very popular name anymore (348th most popular name, down from 167th). But when it comes to pet names, it can be a bit trickier.

Pet sitter website Rover.com has released its list of the most popular dog names and cat names. They used their own user database to come up with the list, so while this isn't the end-all-be-all, we know that pet owners that have people look after their pets so they don't get bored use these names.

There are some "name of the moment" dog names on the list, like Mirabel which is definitely inspired by Disney's Encanto. There's also Fezco which is the name of the lead character in the hit HBO show Euphoria. Cats get their own trendy names like "Hella" (west coast cats only, we assume) and "Yoongi" which is the name of one of the guys from BTS. BTS Army doesn't play, they even have cats fighting in it.

This year is the year of "Luna". Sure, there have been a bunch of Luna pets out there for years. But this is the first year Luna topped the list of female dog names. It also tops the list of female cat names. So. Many. Lunas.

So whether you are looking for a name that is keeping up with the times, or looking to avoid the most popular names so your friends don't think you're "basic," you've found the list to help you name your furry friend.

It was a magical week on Aimee+Shawn! Shawn just got back from a work trip to Disneyland (tough gig right?) and has some stories from his adventure. Especially from before he even took off for Anaheim.

Aimee got her nails done over the weekend and brought her son Roman and his cousin Bruin along for the trip. Turns out there was an incident that happened during the trip that could result in the entire family going to Buddhist hell.

Before Shawn left for the trip, he played some poker at South Point. He ended up winning a hand by bluffing a lovely elderly woman. He showed his terrible hand to the woman, and then immediately felt regret. He gave the chips back. Which helps us realize why he's so bad at the game. When he's good, he feels bad?!

Aimee just wanted to be a good wife and let her husband have a guys weekend for Father's Day. So why does Patrick think Aimee is trying to trick him?

Here at 102.7 VGS, we deal with long Zoom meetings that could have been an email. One in particular left a sour taste in Aimee and Shawn's mouths when a meeting that was already overtime was extended after someone on the call shared a "funny story". We all know one. We. All. Know. One.

It's been a bit of an Urgent Care at Aimee's house lately. This time it's her son Jayden who's been out of it, not playing video games, sleeping for hours on end. What'd she do? Did she call a doctor? Not before she became one on Google.

The show (and the station) are nearing our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Can you believe it?! We are getting ready to party, and we want to invite you all week long, along with a special performance!

Hey, he can't break her heart... unless the wi-fi dies.

Shawn was just trying to burn some time before his flight boarded... but he was the pre-flight entertainment for a guy at LAS.

If your preschooler is being quiet... he's getting into trouble. Aimee learned this the hard way during her manicure.

She followed the relationship until it crashed into the ground. Well... true love exists once again.

There are some things that, if a 30 year old does them society will be upset, but when an 80 year old does them? Eh, they are old, let them do it.

Shawn beat an elderly woman so ruthlessly with a bluff in poker, that he gave her the chips back. This explains why he's not good at poker.

Do not get between Aimee and convenient wine.

Aimee thought she was doing the right thing when she encouraged her husband to hang with his buds and go camping for the weekend... but he suspects a setup.

We are so fortunate to be a part of bi-weekly Zoom calls with people from around the country. But you know when the meeting is going long and someone won't stop talking? We're talking about that.

Aimee's eldest son has been tired, not playing video games and just not himself. Did Aimee call a doctor? Sure. But not before getting her doctorate on Google.

Shawn has been doing some self-reflection lately and wondering which of his traits he has his parents to thank... and which he has his parents to blame for.

Aimee's mom ate a ton of glass when she walked into a patio door in front of a bunch of people.

One of the best heels in wrestling history just passed away. We pay tribute to The Iron Sheik and think back to our wrestling loving days.

Aimee has resting bitch voice... and she's just realizing it.

Both Aimee and Shawn belong to sports-loving families... and whether the sporting events were part of the family or watching the big leaguers, they have stories about their favorite sports moments in the family.

Shawn had a day out with the boys and his sons made him so proud during the day... and he made himself proud that he hasn't screwed them up.
