eggs

This one is a unique story: a guy with a heart of gold who feeds the stray cats in his neighborhood has run out of cat-appropriate food to give to the little felines. Yet, because of his pure goodness, because of wanting to help the stray cats, he has done what he could and gave the cats an egg. Yes, a cooked sunny side up egg, but the cats... they were not expecting it. 

Of course, in the usual twitter style - hilarity ensues. It's not the first time we've come across. Once, we saw a thread about a twitter user who was chased by a cow on Valentines day, another time, we've read about a twitter user who resurrected a bird with her breasts. Twitter is full of amazing, hilarious stories, and this egg one is going on the 'Iconic' list. 

Cat have many talents, we know that. Those include staring at walls, sitting in anything that'll fit them, sleeping in the strangest positions, zooming in the middle of the night and many more. But apparently, white cats have an extra talent, and that is the ability to turn into a purrefctly cooked sunny side up egg with the help of but one accessory - an orange. 

Yes, we know, we were surprised too, but these tweets prove how talented these cats are. They are mildly annoyed white fluffballs, but they are very talented indeed. If you have a white sunny side up purrfect kitty, come share a pic of it with us right here!

Jenny Jinya's newest comic has such writing this intro through a stream of tears. This time, Jinya has decided to make a comic out of a true story, a story from last year in which a swan had died of a broken heart due to some teens destroying her eggs. 

This comic seems to hurt more knowing it's based on such a sad and cruel story. The thought of anyone hurting any animal is difficult enough, people should be aware that their actions have consequences. And to those who destroyed this swan's eggs, you all should be ashamed. The mother-to-be had six eggs destroyed, leaving her utterly heartbroken and eventually lead to her death. Our hearts break a hundred times over reading this story and of course, seeing Jinya's emotional comic on the subject. 

Jinya creates comics about real issues animals faces such as suffering and abuse. Sometimes (or always), the comics are devastating and leave us in a pile of our own tears. Jinya has the gift of conveying important messages in an achingly haunting yet beautiful way. 

Be sure to have those tissues handy, folks, you're going to need them.

At least the world still seems to be healing! 

In Greece, there is one area that is the most important nesting site for loggerhead turtles that live in the Mediterranean, and that is the beaches of Zakynthos. And thanks to this global crisis, there has never been such slow tourism as there is this summer. 

One thing we can continuously be grateful for is the animals who now have a window to thrive and lay their eggs in peace. 

Like many other popular tourist places, the beaches of Zakynthos are experiencing a rare moment of calm and that calmness has lead to a peak of the egg-laying season for Loggerhead turtles. 

Head of the Zakynthos program for the protection of loggerhead turtles. Charikleia Minotou, had this to say about the beautiful moment, "This is an opportunity for the turtles to return at their own pace, to fall in love, mate and give birth on the beaches, as dictated by their biology. The long-term impact of the current conditions, however, will only become apparent over time."

She also added that she hopes these two months of peace for the turtles don't "end up being a footnote in the story of the loggerhead turtles on the island."

We certainly hope so, too!

As cat people, we sometimes struggle to convince others that cats are actually nice. 

But this new trending challenge on TikTok might just be the proof we all needed.

The concept is simple: cat owners on TikTok are giving their kitties eggs to see if they'll "protect" them and then share the adorable results. 

The trend was presumably started by TikTok user @annao, since it was the earliest TikTok we could find.  

As expected, the results will give you the heart eyes. 

Another uplifting story to come from this lock-down mess. As scary as times might be, there's still some beauty in this world and that beauty comes in the form of mother nature, reclaiming back her world. 

We've seen less air pollution, deers chilling in the streets of Japan, clear waters that brought back the return of certain sea life. And now, with Eastern India under lock-down, sea turtles who are famously vunerable and threatened by humans and our pollution, were left completely undisturbed to lay an estimate of 60 million eggs. 

That means hundreds of thousands olive tortoises reached the shore of Rushikulya beach and comfortably made their nests. 

So next time you're feeling down about the certain situation, remember these tortoises who were able to nest in complete tranquility this year. It might bring some sort of peace.

She didn't choose the wildlife nanny life, it chose her. 

Tumblr user ruby-white-rabbit shared that unexpectedly, an expecting turtle, has laid eggs in her yard. 

She is in no way prepared to be a mother, and knows nothing about reptiles. But it was decided long before that she would be the chosen one to deliver these turtles. 

Tumblr user, despazito, couldn't wrap their head around vegan eating preferences and asked, "Vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs....why" 

The user tried pointing out eating eggs and honey might be not at all that unethical.

What are your thoughts?

Turtles are amazing animals. They can be traced back to the time of dinosaurs, they usually live around 70 years (tortoises reach around 150 or more years), and they're super cute. Sadly, as human development reaches the quietest of beaches, some turtle hatchlings are having trouble finding the ocean because of the confusing lights. But it's not all bad news! As well as being the problem (sorry turtles), we can also be the solution. Keep on reading to learn how you can help your little flippered friends live to be wise old creatures. 

This is hilarious! The artist 

Rachael Bale, a senior editor at National Geographic, documented the story of a family of geese after the mother laid eggs on the third floor of the network's building in Washington DC. The tale began in early April when the eggs were laid and ended on Tuesday when the family were taken to safety.
