Not every animal is born into the best of circumstances. Nature can be difficult like that. In the wild, unfortunately, baby animals can lose their mothers and be left alone. Many of them don't survive, but some of them... find themselves in the hands of people who will do anything to save them. 

Such is the story of Tohar the cow. She had lost her momma when she was only 8 days old, but thankfully, she found her way to Shanti farm where other disabled animals get rescued and find forever homes. But, that's not where her story Tohar's story ends. This wonderful girl has turned out to have endless love for other animals, and has, over time, become a sort of surrogate momma to them, taking them under her wing and giving them all the love that she can. 

Every cat owner knows that being bitten once or twice is part of the deal when getting a cat. To non-cat people, that might seem very strange, even scary, but cat owners understand that a cat bite is a love bite. It's true, cats bite when angry, but they also bite because they feel affection. Gently holding your finger between your teeth - cat bites are a sign of love. 

Inspired by a poem of the same name written by yours truly, the talented Tracy Thorne - and her cat - shine again, bringing us the latest cat theme song that will definitely be stuck in your head for a while. Listen to the previous songs Tracy has performed for us:  it wasn't me and i is fierce.

It's always a difficult thing to see, when some animals are born with less advantages than others. It could be stunning blind animals or animals born with three legs. Their life isn't exactly like the life of a regular animal of their kind. Amazingly enough, normally, these animals don't even know about their difficulties and just live their lives happily, like this adorable blind kitten.

We, their owners, know of their difficulties though. And sometimes, we are able to provide them with some extra help to give them a second chance at being a regular animal. Such is the story of this gorgeous three-legged pit bull who had his dad make him a custom wheelchair that allows him to walk again. 

We've all heard the tale-old story of a cat getting stuck in a tree and heroic and amazing firefighters coming to rescue the little guy. When that happens, we are normally so nervous, trying in every way that we can to help the cat down, no matter how long it takes. But what happens if the cat has chosen to go up there on purpose, just to nap and have a good time high up in the tree? You think it might need rescuing, but sometimes, they do not. 

Check out the newest ICanHasCheezburger original animation, in which this ferocious little kitten doesn't need rescuing from anyone. It's an anmation that encompasses being a cat in the most accurate way ever.

When you think of human things that confuse the heck out of our cats, one of the most obvious ones is the vacuum. It is a monster that screams and eats at the same time. What can a cat do when it watches this monster eating two of his cat toys at once without effort? Enough running, the only choice is to fight... or is it? Maybe it's better to be cautious and run again.

This week's animation captures the eternal struggle between a cat and the vacuum cleaner. You may think that with enough time, your kitty will realize that the danger has passed, and maybe that's true buuuuut... today is not the day.

Technology is amazing. It helps us in our everyday lives with so many things. But for our cats... it is a tiny bit confusing. Sitting and staring at the same strange light square every single day for hours instead of giving them attention? No wonder they love sitting on our laptops as much as they do. Well, that, and our laptops are warm and basically act as butt-heaters for them.

This week's animation of Earnie encapsulates the eternal struggle between cats and technology. And confused as he may be, this time, Earnie is winning.

There are times when you look at your cat, you see it being a total hooligan, and since you can't help but love that little rascal anyway, the best thing to do is to... sing a song about it. After you broom all the glass on the floor, of course. 

Once again, the lovely Tracy Thorne has been inspired by one of our little kitty poems, has picked up her guitar, and put music to it. While also totally showing off her adorable ginger cat who, for some reason, is licking her guitar strings. But is anyone surprised, really? She is singing about cats being weirdo hooligans after all.

Oh... when a cat meets a dog. It's a tale as old as time. From hate and hissing to very slowly and reluctantly accepting the fact that... it feels kinda nice to cuddle the pup and also, the puppy gives pretty good ear baths if you let it. So... it's love! Just reluctant love.

Let's be real, we all know how different cats and dogs are, so it's not surprising that it's difficult for them to get along. That just makes it all the more heartwarming when they do. This week's animation captures exactly that, and don't worry, it ends just as sweetly as you'd hope it to.

Snow might look beautiful, but it is... unexpectedly cold. At least to our adorable senior kitty, Earnie, who is meeting it for the first time. Cat vs. snow: the madness continues, and it's time to nope the heck out of there and run back home. You can decide If you think Earnie won this round. He definitely thinks that he did.

Check out this week's animation of Earnie taking on his biggest challenge yet - the beautiful welcoming blanket of the EVIL white snow - and immediately saying nope, nope, nope, nope-

A meeting like no other - your amazing, beautiful, affectionate cat with the.. rude, aloof, unfriendly, traitorous copycat in the mirror. The concept of a mirror is, of course, a foreign one to our genius feline fluffballs, and the first meetings between the "two" cats are ALWAYS iconic.  

Check out this week's animation of Earnie having its first ever encounter with the cat in the mirror, and it goes... just about as hilariously as you think it would. A worthy opponent, this copycat, always knows exactly what Earnie is planning on doing just before Earnie does it.

Check out last week's animation where Earnie hilariously exploring the bathroom right here!

You may look at your bathroom and see a place where you clean yourself, but for you cat, that room is basically a torture chamber. The sink is a slip-and-slide, the toilet is a water bowl that they should DEFINITELY not drink from (they've smelled it, they understand), and the bath they will only be curious about once. Only once. 

Check out this week's animation of our favorite senior cat - Earnie - where he discovers the bathroom for the first time. In the battle between Earnie and the water... the water wins.
