11 Guilty Pets Who Know What They Did

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:45:51 +0000

There’s nothing surprising about our pets getting into shenanigans when we’re not looking. Sometimes we find the little buggers in the act, and what results is adorably hilarious. But other times, we’re not lucky enough to catch them red-handed, although their guilty expressions totally allude to trouble. Basically, pets are really bad at keeping a [...]

Watch These Cats Running Into Things — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:26:09 +0000

[onescreen item="5031866"] Cats vs. mirrors: the battle rages on. We suppose it could be confusing, but a lot of these cats are grown-up cats—by now you’d think they’d recognize that other cat who keeps doing the making the exact same movements they’re making. As for the kittens, it’s just a part of growing up. Cherish [...]

Chris Allen — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:48:59 +0000

This morning I talked to Anna, from Animal Allies about Pepper, a black cat from Superior. Pepper is a beautiful black cat. He is estimated to be about 3 years old. Pepper came from a place where there were too many cats, so he’s looking for a new home. Pepper is a very nice cat. [...]

Internet Unsurprisingly Chooses Cat For Newest Monopoly Piece

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:47:08 +0000

The public has spoken and Monopoly will cast away the boring old iron token, a symbol of domestic housework from a simpler time (it's not even an electric iron), which has been included in the board game for almost 80 years.

In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

Your Animal Is Missing, What Is The Next Step, Why Won't The Radio Station Help

Chris Allen — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:46:18 +0000

This is something that I talk to people about all the time. They ask my why we won’t get on the radio and ask for everyone to help look for their lost dog or cat. There is a reason, and there are things you could be doing to help yourself and find your pet quicker. [...]

A Video Collection of Cats Licking Boyfriends — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:02:39 +0000

[onescreen item="5005850"] Not their boyfriends, of course. Cats have an instinct to clean. They spend up to 15 percent of their day grooming themselves. So maybe it’s not that weird to expect a cat to do the same for a nearby human. Most of us shower merely once a day—we must be plain filthy in [...]

Watch These Lazy Cats Just Bein' Lazy — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:26:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5000740"] They say lions in the wild sleep 20 hours a day. That might be an understatement. Now, we love ourselves a good cat nap here and there, but we’ve got nothing on these felines. We’ve heard how, after enough time, people begin to look like their pets. However, judging by these cats’ postures, [...]

Watch This Cat Go Crazy for Snow

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:50:11 +0000

Usually by mid-January we’re all sick of snow, but it’s magically fun again after seeing it through the eyes of a critter who’s never set foot in snow before. This video features Fletcher — a feline from the UK — being confused and befuddled not only by the snow on the ground, but also by the falling flakes, [...]

10 Cats and Babies Riding Roombas

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:40:12 +0000

Technology can be really confusing sometimes. Take the Roomba, for example. It's a vacuum that basically does all the work on its own, cleaning the floor at the click of a button. While we're not entirely sure how the whole thing works, there is one hilarious thing that comes out of the invention-- babies and cats love riding them.

Kitty With Magnetic Collar Is Accidental Cat Burglar

Emerald Catron — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:20:30 +0000

Milo is undoubtedly the world's cutest thief. Her whiskers. Her paws. Her prancing about the neighborhood, going into random houses willy-nilly and accidentally stealing a bunch of stuff. Adorable. Unless of course you're the owner of one of the 20 sets of keys she's stolen over the past week.

10 Cats Dressed Like Reindeer

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:15:28 +0000

Not that we're counting or anything, but Christmas is only 27 days and a few hours away, which means it's time to get into the spirit ASAP. Now, this doesn't mean going 'Gangnam Style' crazy with house lights. You also don't have to go buying the 12 days of Christmas to prep for the holidays either, although that would be super awesome. It can require very little to no effort to feel all tingly with Christmas excitement, like making obnoxiously long gift lists or dressing up our cats like reindeer. Come on, you know we can't get through the holidays without embarrassing our pets.

Cat Opens Door For Puppies

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:12:54 +0000

Cat and dog lovers alike will be grinning after this one, in which Buster busts out some MacGyver moves on a sliding door to help his puppy friends get back into the house. Sorry, rescue dogs: it’s looking like cats’ survival skills might put yours to shame. Meanwhile, anyone who claims that felines are distant, [...]

15 Cats That Hate Halloween

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:31:02 +0000

Few things are better than dressing up our pets. How can you resist a Michael Jackson puppy or an Avengers pug? Costumed pets are probably the best part of Halloween. But just because we love it doesn't mean they do. Especially cats. Who knew these little guys were such Halloween-haters? Check out these 15 cats hating on Halloween

Cat Sings 'Star Wars' Theme, Conquers Internet

Donald Deane — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:50:33 +0000

While ‘Star Wars’ is darn near perfect, we’ve always thought it could use more cats. Imagine our glee, then, when we discovered this video of a space-faring kitty meowing the theme from the 1977 classic film. It’s the best of both worlds! But to be honest, it doesn’t take long before the video starts to [...]

Lost Hiker Survives By Cuddling Cat for Warmth

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:30:25 +0000

After almost a month lost in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest, Margaret Page was found emaciated and malnourished but alive. And she may have her cat to thank for that. With temperatures dropping below freezing most nights, the 41-year-old cuddled with her kitty for warmth during her ordeal. “Her cat was in better shape than [...]

Kitten Obsessed With Playstation Controller [VIDEO]

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:21:34 +0000

This wee kitty seems pretty intrigued by a Sony Playstation controller, but would probably need a smaller joystick if it wanted to play. Perhaps kitty is as obsessed with ‘Batman: Arkham City’ as we are. [via Say OMG] Read Original: Kitten Obsessed With Playstation Controller [VIDEO]

A Shaved Alpaca Licking a Kitten Defines Adorable [VIDEO]

Chris Illuminati — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:53:19 +0000

It’s impossible to not find kittens super adorable. Even alpacas are impervious to their cuteness. This alpaca wants to show its affection for this little bundle of fur by nudging it around with its nose and possibly asking it out on a date. It will have to be an informal date because the alpaca is [...]

Friskies Makes iPad Apps for Cats [VIDEOS]

Jordan Breindel — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 18:28:50 +0000

Given how popular cats are on the internet, it’s no surprise that Friskies — makers of delicious cat food (or so our cats tell us) for over 50 years — recently rolled out a line of tablet-based apps just for cats. Featuring movements, shapes and colors tailored to appeal to kitty’s sensibilities, your feline friend can now download titles like ‘Cat Fishing’ ‘Tasty Treasures Hunt’ and ‘Party Mix-Up’ from the iTunes App Store and Android Market (if you don’t mind a couple of scratches on your screen).

5 Pets That Love to Gamble [VIDEOS]

Kool Staff — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 03:00:59 +0000

For most people, Dogs Playing Poker is their favorite piece of artwork of all time. It’s funny to think then that so few have actually ever seen Fido ante up for a couple of hands or throw down on the nickel slots. Well just because you haven’t seen it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
