people this morning enjoyed a traditional drum performance. they also tied a world record by standing up together with their arms around each other's waists in a circle. the 123 participants failed the challenge after several attempts, though. an aid group in tokyo organized the event. you can see them getting back to normal there. a pair of baby owls look confused and angry in the south bay and it is no wonder. they were found thursday night at the base of a eucalyptus tree in san jose. they were brought to the wildlife center in silicon valley. they were put in a new and safer nest in the same tree. property owners should be extra careful clearing brush or trimming trees this time of the year. we say they look angry and confused, but they look like me in the morning. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, you have heard the saying, a picture is worth a thousand words, right? but you might say this about

this cat. we'll tell you where he lives and what the folks at the office ardog toe help him trim down. i'll take the usual. got it. if you're open to choosing your own batter, mix-ins and toppings, come in today and build a stack you'll be proud of. only at denny's.

a little extra fluff is cute on a cat, but this might cross the line. meet meow who at just 2 years old tips the scale at 39 pounds. i don't know what a cat is supposed to weigh, but not that. i think it is like 12 pounds, right? meow is 39 pounds. his 87-year-old owner could no longer care for him so the new mexico shelter is hoping to slim him down gradually to be adopted. meow is not the fastest or fattest cat out there. the fattest cat weighs 47 pounds. you are not just fluffy at that point. >> hopefully things are improving. thank you for making us a part of your morning. see you back here tomorrow

morning. we are off for comcast cares.
