STERLING, Conn.TUALATIN, Ore.SEATTLE — A holy cow, perhaps? Or maybe a divine bovine?
A calf with a white marking on its forehead in the approximate shape of a cross was born last week at a dairy farm in Sterling, Conn., a small rustic town on the Rhode Island border.
Owner Brad Davis tells WFSB-TV he thinks the marking may be a message from above, though he’s still trying to figure out what that message might be.
The mostly brown calf is half Jersey, half Holstein. Neighborhood children have named it Moses.

That purring may not be your SUV’s motor An Oregon man says a 3-month-old kitten apparently hitched a cold, 120-mile ride in the wheel well of his sport utility vehicle.
Marc Lichty left Olympia, Wash., after finishing a day of work Wednesday. He heard meowing when he stopped at a rest stop along the way home but couldn’t see a cat.
When he reached his home in Tualatin, Ore., he heard the meowing again and grabbed a flashlight. Sure enough, he said, “The cat was up underneath in the spare tire spot.” Daughter Jenna helped coax the passenger out with a bit of salmon.
The family called Olympia businesses in the area where he was working Wednesday but didn’t find the kitten’s owner. The Lichtys say they’ll keep the kitten.
He must have told a tall tale to get help Police say an 18-foot-tall totem pole stolen from a West Seattle park has been found about 200 miles away in Oregon.
The Seattle Times reports a 69-year-old West Seattle man led investigators to the pole. Police say he apparently had a crew with a crane help move the totem, but it’s unclear whether the crew knew the man didn’t have permission to take it.
The totem pole was noticed missing last week. The Rotary Club of West Seattle donated the pole to the city in 1976 and estimates it would have cost about $75,000 to replace.
