Excali-purr! Cat Found In Hotel Room On Las Vegas Strip

Was the cat included in the resort fee? That's probably what Lindsey Sanders was thinking after checking into her Las Vegas hotel room.

It's a long story of love, loss, and hairballs. A couple weeks ago a guest at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino reported their cat missing. The guest, who moved from Reno to Las Vegas, told hotel security but unfortunately the kitty went unaccounted for.

About a week later, enter Lindsey Sanders and her husband. The pair had checked into their hotel room, laid down and got some shut eye. Then, in the middle of the night... "meow".

They woke up to be greeted by the cat who magically appeared in their room. She immediately whipped out the camera and captured the loving feline for her TikTok account, @vetmedsanders.

Once they saw the cat, things started making more sense. A bottle on the counter was knocked to the ground. There was pee in the shower. She blamed it all on her husband who denied everything. Turns out... he wasn't lying.

The cat kept pretty tidy considering. They think the kitty survived no food for nearly a week by drinking water from the toilet. The pair, who are veterinarians ironically, called hotel security.

Turns out the kitty found itself a nice little hiding spot in the room, which is why it went unaccounted for during the initial search. A crawl space underneath the sink, tiny as could be, is where the cat set up shop. How do they know? Because when hotel security was there to take a gander at the situation, the cat bugged out back to its hiding spot. Security took apart the sink counter to get to the kitty, put it in a crate, and reunite it with their owner.

We hereby rename the cat Excali-purr.

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 feels like every other week is a four day week! Aimee+Shawn had Monday off for President's Day, but they got a lot in the rest of the week!

Shawn scours the internet for absolutely ridiculous stories to share with the show... and one story out of Texas caught his attention. It comes from a small town several miles out of Fort Worth, Texas where a 3rd grader found a gun in their school's bathroom. From there it got absolutely asinine... and Shawn had Aimee guess what went down.

Aimee decided to call in a pizza order at her local Little Caesars and it turned out to be way more of an ordeal than she bargained for. How ordering five pizzas can create major bureaucracy...

Winds were HOWLING in Las Vegas this week. Shawn's dad (who is visiting town) called Shawn from upstairs. Why? He was worried the wind might make the tree in Shawn's front yard collapse onto his car. Shawn was baffled as he has no control over the tree or the wind, and wonders if others are asked silly "what do you want me to do" questions too.

Aimee was on a hike and saw a doting husband checking on his wife's every step to make sure she didn't trip while heading down the mountain. Meanwhile Aimee's husband was behind her because he didn't want her to fall into him.

With all that exercise, you'd think Aimee would be ready and rearing to go for Scale The STRAT this weekend. But her most common refrain won again: her son has a football tournament and she can't go. Shawn didn't let her get off the hook that easily though, and Aimee lived up to it! She climbed every step live on the air at the station.

We are back Monday with tickets to check out Capital Cities when they perform at House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay on May 11th, plus we are hearing rumblings of a major concert announcement! We'll share that with you too! See you then!

After realizing how competitive he gets catching flying shrimp at hibachi restaurants, Shawn has decided he could set the record for catching them.

Aimee failed to realize that while Little Caesars' slogan is "Pizza Pizza", it is indeed not "Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza".

It's already horrifying enough that a 3rd grader stumbled across a gun at their school. Then you find out what the teacher said after being told by the student. Then you find out WHOSE GUN it was. Wow.

You know, we used to be team Harry & Meghan, but then they got upset with "South Park". Now... we are over them.

Heading downstairs for some coffee early in the morning, Aimee stumbled into a co-worker she's seen for years, but this time they actually conversed! Shawn recalls working at Channel 13 and being frozen with fear after years of working with certain people and never remembering their name.

The winds were howling the night before, and Shawn's dad decided to call him from upstairs to share his wind-anxiety with him. Could Shawn do anything? No.

Pagers. VCRs. Dial-up modems. There are certain things that "younger people" will never have to deal with. Some of that is great, but others we are actually sad for them.

On a recent hike, Aimee realized her husband wasn't walking in front of her as they traveled down the mountain. When she asked why, she got a response that made her both laugh and be offended.

Somehow, yet again, Aimee can't make an event because her son has a football tournament. This time it's Scale The STRAT. It seems like there is a football tournament EVERY WEEKEND. Shawn won't let her get out of talking 1,455 stairs though... more on that later.

Shawn's first job was at Sam Goody. Gone. Most of the grocery store check out clerks? Vanished. Now AI is coming after our radio jobs!

Swinging through the drive thru in Taco Bell the night before, the woman in the speaker asked Shawn if he wanted to donate to "children's education". She had no idea what charity it was. Shawn is charitable... but hates donating to "ideas".

The tryouts were just announced, and our afternoon host Sammi has decided she wants to take a shot at being a Raiderette.

If she can't make Scale The STRAT, we'll bring the stair climb to her! Aimee agreed to do the entire stair climb in the 102.7 VGS stairwell and she lived up to her word!
