For thousands of years, we thought we knew when cats left Africa and spread across Europe… but ancient DNA has just rewritten the story. New research suggests our sofa-loving companions may have arrived far later than expected—possibly alongside the Romans. In this Cat News segment, Cheralyn explores the surprising journey of cat domestication and how cats may never have truly been tamed… they simply chose to stay.

What if one of the world’s newest scientific discoveries… was a cat colour?

In Finland, researchers spent years investigating a mysterious group of cats whose fur seemed to fade from black into white — creating a striking look unlike anything previously explained by genetics. Nicknamed salmiak cats after Finland’s famous salty liquorice, these unusual felines turned out to carry something scientists weren’t expecting: not an extra gene… but a missing piece of DNA.

In this episode of Cat News, we explore the strange science behind coat colours, how ordinary mixed-breed cats helped reveal something entirely new, and why sometimes the most extraordinary discoveries begin simply because somebody stopped and paid attention.

Because somewhere out there… a cat is casually changing science while waiting for dinner.

She was one of the most feared and fascinating women in Australian history. A migrant who arrived in Sydney with little to her name, she built an empire that made her a legend of the city's underworld.

In this episode of The Nightline Bedtime Story, Cheralyn Darcey tells the remarkable true story of Tilly Devine, tracing her rise from London's streets to the razor gangs, sly-grog trade and notorious brothels of 1920s and 1930s Sydney. It's a tale of ambition, power, fierce rivalries and the woman whose name became synonymous with one of Australia's most colourful eras.
