Sphynx has lowest life expectancy of domestic cat breeds, research finds
The hairless cats live on average for just 6.8 years, while a Burmese could survive to be 14, according to research
They may sound ancient but you should avoid a sphynx cat if you want a pet to grow old with, research suggests.
Experts have revealed how many years on average domestic cats in the UK have left to live based on their current age.
The results suggest burmese and birman cats have the highest life expectancy, with kittens in their first year of life expected to live for another 14.4 years. Unsurprisingly, the figures for remaining life expectancy decline as cats get older. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/may/08/sphynx-has-lowest-life-expectancy-of-domestic-cat-breeds-research-finds

Germans call for kebab price cap as average costs skyrocket
A left wing political party in Germany is calling for a price cap on doner kebabs, as the cost of one of the country's favourite dishes soars.
Amid fears inflation could drive the cost of a kebab above €10 (£8.60), Die Linke has suggested subsidising the dish at €4.90 (£4.20) - and €2.50 (£2.10) for young people.
Kathi Gebel, a member of Die Linke's executive board told BILD: "It's not an internet joke, but a serious cry for help. The state must intervene so that food does not become a luxury item.” https://www.itv.com/news/2024-05-07/germans-calls-for-kebab-price-cap-as-average-costs-skyrocket
