Feral - A Love Story

Laura DiNunno

After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.

TITANIC 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JAMES CAMERON 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Titanic (1997), directed by James Cameron, is an epic romance and disaster film set aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. The story follows Rose, a young woman from an aristocratic family, and Jack, a poor artist, who fall in love during the ship’s maiden voyage in 1912. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of class division and the impending disaster. The film explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the human spirit, while juxtaposing the romance with the historical tragedy of the Titanic's sinking. With stunning visuals and an emotional narrative, Titanic remains a cinematic landmark. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“After learning she would be required to be naked in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to lighten the mood by flashing him when they first met.” 
  
“In the scene where water rushes into the Grand Staircase room, the filmmakers only had one chance to film it, as the entire set and its furnishings were going to be destroyed.” 
  
“The movie's scenes set in 1912, which make up the entire movie except for the present-day scenes and credits, last exactly two hours and forty minutes — the exact duration it took for the Titanic to sink. The collision with the iceberg lasts 37 seconds, mirroring the actual event.”
