Whale, whale, whale, if it isn't another thread viral animal thread... we love those! It all started with a viral tweet from Twitter user Mx. Leah Velleman, in which they brought up the fact that Europeans avoid using the word "bear" in fear of summoning them. Instead, they call them "brown one" or "honey-eater." Pretty interesting right? And we thought we were superstitious!

Turns out, there's an even more wild European theory about evil whales, from Iceland. If this isn't already fascinating to you, we're not quite sure how to help you because, friends, this is about as cool as it gets. Get yourself ready to go deep diving into the depths of the unknown! 

Whoever said cats can't love has never seen a cat sit on a pizza box. It is so very clear that pizza is their ultimate love. it's warm, it smells delicious, and it's a box - it's the combination of all of our cats dreams. Suddenly, they'll be giving you puppy eyes, trying to convince you to give them a slice of the deliciousness, or they'll be trying to scratch your eyes out because of your futile attempts to get them off their delicious heater. 

I mean, we can't even question their love for it, considering how much we love pizza too, so... get off, you chaotic little hooligan, this pizza is mine. And thank you to r/CatsOnPizza for providing this delicious and mildly strange cat material. 

Some animals like music, that's something that we've noticed. Cats falling asleep when music is playing, doggos head-bopping to music, but a cockatoo? We have yet to see something like that. And this cockatoo specifically might be the most punk rock, coolest cockatoo ever. He's has a haircut cooler than yours, he's more intimidating than any of us by far, and his sense of rhythm is superior to all of us. 

Now, there's speculation about whether this is real or if the music was added after, but considering the fact that cockatoos are knows for their drumming skills in the wild, performing elaborate drumming patterns when trying to attract females, odds are that this is very real. And this birb is amazing. 

TGIF, everyone! It's time to end the week in the one correct way possible. Every single week, we round up the best of all of the best cat tweets of the week - all of the cutest, funniest, more awwdorable cats that everyone on twitter is talking about. Because we that, as cat people, you want to know what's going on in the cat world.

Cat twitter is so active though (not that we're complaining). It makes it hard to keep up with everything that's happening on your own. That's what you have us for, keeping you up to date with not all your cat twitter news but all of the other things happening in the animal world as well. 

Have an amazing weekend everyone, and don't forget to make the best of it by cuddling your cat as much as possible. 

It is a known fact that cats are indeed liquid. Their bodies have the ability to contort in such ways that would be shocking to inexperienced cat people. But we - cat owners - we know that the level of liquidity that cats have is about 99%, and these pictures are the newest collection of proof. 

If I fits, I sits - if you are considering getting a cat, learn this statement, for it will lead you through many moments. If you don't see your cat all of a sudden, don't fret right away. Check all the boxes, all the nooks and crannies in the house, don't put it past your liquid furball to hide inside of some bowl somewhere. You will find them in the strangest place. If there's the smallest chance of them fitting into something, they will try to sit in it, and odds are they will succeed. 

Okay, so, cats are weirdos, can we all agree on that? Yes, great. I mean, they're the most awwdorable weirdos in the whole wide world, and we love them no matter how weird they are, but sometimes, their madness is a little bit too much for us to handle. Like, when they start randomly zooming around the house at 3am? Yeah, that's when they're a liiiitle too much. 

These tumblr posts capture the 3am madness perfectly - the random, unexpected and somewhat shocking bursts of energy that you sooo don't expect from your lazy cat. It's like something takes over than them, and they just can't stop themselves. It's not the most fun thing in the world to experience, but it sure as heck funny to read about.
