CITY OF ANAHEIM TO EMPLOY GOAT HERD
TO CLEAR HILLSIDE BRUSH IN EAST ANAHEIM
Anaheim Fire & Rescue and the
Department of Public Works
will utilize a tried-and-true method to clear
brush in the
City’s right-of-way on eastbound Santa Ana Canyon Road
between Lakeview Avenue and Royal Oak Road.
City’s right-of-way on eastbound Santa Ana Canyon Road
between Lakeview Avenue and Royal Oak Road.
A herd of goats will be
Anaheim’s newest guests,
and our four-legged friends will replace traditional machinery
to clear the area of overgrown hillside brush.
This environmentally friendly and cost effective method
will help firefighters protect homes and businesses by
creating a defensible space for land and structures.
Additionally, this approach provides a safer route
than commercial methods, while giving spectators a fun,
visual experience as the goats enjoy their meal.

Nukege Hats: Hats for Cats, Fashioned Out of Their Own Shed
 |
Several years ago Ryo Yamazaki was brushing one of his
three Scottish Fold cats. A lump of shed had accumulated
on the floor and in that moment Yamazaki noticed that it
kind of looked like a hat. For a chuckle he decided to mold
it into a pointy hat and place it on one of his cat’s heads
(photo above). Little did he know, that was the beginning
of Nukege Hats, a movement that has led to a global
following on social media, a book deal and a line of stationary.

Nukege is the Japanese word for shed fur or hair.
And together
with his wife Hiromi, the couple have perfected
the art of molding shed
into hats of various shapes and sizes,
which they give to their cats to
wear and then
According to the Yamazakis, their cats don’t seem to mind at all,
perhaps owing to the fact that the hats are super lightweight
and smell just like they do.
After all, they were part of the cat’s body up until a few moments ago.
Now you know about Nukege hats for cats!
A smile for Sunday ...
