food

Food. We take pictures of it and upload them for all to see. What for? It's not like we'll revisit those images. Or maybe some do. However, we as humans always share with one another what we had to eat that day, and what we plan to eat later that day. We simply can't help talking about food! Why? Because food is amazing. Cats understand, cats absolutely love to eat. We understand that because a majority of us humans also love to eat. But cats really love to eat. 

If cats could share their most recently consumed meal with one another, how would that look? What would they say? Thanks to Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we have the answer to these tantalizing questions below. 

And if you want more cat enjoyment, be sure to check out last week's installment: Deep thoughts cats have before they fall asleep.

Here's a story that will fill your hearts with all the feels! Long-time volunteers at the Stevens Swan Humane Society (SSHS), Rob and Hillary Dunn, decided to continue their new tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving with those they love most - the animals at the shelter. For the second year in a row, the Dunns have made a full Thanksgiving meal for every dog at the SSHS

According to Go Travel Blogger, every single dog at the shelter got its very own plate! A plate complete with white-meat turkey, green beans, and sweet potatoes. Of course, all the food given was healthy and safe for the animals to enjoy. The cats at the shelter were treated to bowls of their own, a pumpkin pie mix. The Dunn's graciously took on this monumental task and prepped everything out of their pockets.

You can help the Dunns reach their simple goal of raising $500 each for their favorite shelter, the Stevens Swan Humane Society, by donating to either's Rob's fundraiser or Hillary's, all funds go directly to the shelter.  

We hope all these beautiful animals have their next Thanksgiving meal in a loving forever home of their own.

Officially relaxed, Earnie takes to exploring and makes a huge, life changing discovery. The existence of wet food. Now, he must find a way to get it, and he will do so at any cost. So, he sets out on a quest.

We can't help but be protective of animals. We love them too much. They're just so tiny and squishy and pet-able, even the big ones. So, when this Japanese trend of making adorable animals into edible rice creations, we were a little confused. Because... how are we supposed to eat something so incredibly adorable? 

We can't help but admire the creativity though. Even if we probably couldn't eat it ourselves, these animal rice creations are so insanely cute and adorable that we just had to share them with you guys. We promise the closest thing we do to eating cuties like these is kissing our cats and dogs on their foreheads. 

When Twitter user, Kelly-Leigh Cooper (@kl_coop), accidentally spilled her cat's food all over the floor, she managed to capture his reaction, and that reaction has taken over Twitter. The priceless reaction of a cat who has just witnessed a miracle -- endless food. "So much food, where do you begin? What is the first move? Is all this really for me?" These are all thoughts we imagine are running through this adorably expressive cat's mind. 

Other Twitter users were quick to join the conversation and add just how much they adore the cat's mind-blowing expressions! Some users even began sharing their own experiences with overwhelming food. Others just couldn't get over the adorable cat, and honestly, neither can we! 

A new study from animal nutrition specialists at the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, have discovered something quite interesting. Turns out, giving your cat one big meal is more satisfying to them than providing them with a few small meals throughout the day. 

Weird, right? That's exactly the opposite of what's been told to us. Yet, out of eight indoor cats, who over the course of 21 days were fed once daily and then fed four times daily, the cats who ate just the one, big meal a day had a higher level of three appetites-regulating hormones. The researchers claim they were more satisfied and not only more full but also burning their fat stores and even had more protein to help build some muscle.

Oh man, don't look through this on an empty stomach. All these animals (...food?) look so delectable and scrumptious, we're craving them all! 

Except for the mop, only because you can't eat a mop. I mean, you could, but you definitely shouldn't. It was imperative that we featured it, regardless, it's just too good not to. 

And here comes the belly rumbles. Scroll down and try to see if you can tell the difference between animal vs food while we go eat whatever we can find in our fridge. Happy nomming! 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to that little puff, Meow Chef!

Meow Chef is fairly new to Instagram but has already left quite the impression! The first post is from July 3rd, 2020, and the account today has over 26k followers! What's Meow Chef's secret? Delicious food preparation by yours truly! 

It's a brilliant page, filled with adorable food (and how to make it), all created by the paws of that little puff - Chef Meow! 

Cute and tasty! Get ready for this wonderful combo! 

You know that classic saying, "you are what you eat"? Well, one cat owner took that quite literally, and the results could not be cuter!

We often say you're in for a treat, and this time, you really are in for one delicious, and oh so scrumptious, treat! 

These delicious furballs belong to Instagram user, @kibimomo, and all of their images are simply precious. It's a page filled with cats, food, and overall adorableness. What more could a person want? 

Introducing "Pig Cat!"

Twitter user, @tramL116, has introduced us to what he calls, "Pig Cat." A video of his cats, one of which eats like the world will end tomorrow. Taking giant bites of food, this cat is now being known as the cat version of the classic game, "Hungry Hungry Hippos." 

Twitter users were quick to chime in and write what may be the cause of the cat's behavior. And others simply shared more videos of cats eating like hungry hippos. 

Two things we know for certain: we love cats and we love eating. You do you, Pig Cat. But the owner should consider feeding the two separately so Pig Cat doesn't feel the need to eat so much, so fast. 

Nom nom nom... it's everyone's favorite time of the day-- time to eat! 

If there's a definite common interest between humans and animals, it would definitely be our interest in delicious noms. 

Let's chow down on some animal gifs enjoying their chow time! 

That is one clever stray! 

In the streets of Mexico, this cat had started following customers in the hopes that someone would buy him some cat food. Then, one day, his life of asking for cat food would come to an end. 

Primary school teacher, Tania Lizbeth Santos Coy Tova, saw the cat from across the street, and soon enough, the stray was following her. The clever stray then led Tania into a shop nearby, walked straight up to the feed food aisle, and actually pointed to the bag of food he wanted. 

Tania was surprised and in awe! Honestly, who wouldn't be? 

So she decided to stalk his home and discovered he was living in an abandoned home. It was then that Tania decided to adopt him.
