relationships

You might think it's easy to get some these days, especially with everyone desperate for human contact after lockdown. But it turns out that cat owners often encounter technical setbacks that the average person doesn't, which could stop them from getting lucky in the sex department. Together with The Single Society, we bring you real women's stories of times their cats did everything they could to stop their owners from getting laid, which, if you know a thing or two about kitties, isn't all that surprising. It turns out cats might just be the ultimate c*ck blocks!

We'd love to hear your stories, cat owners! Share it with us in the comments below.

And just a little reader discretion, the following stories are uncensored and quite naughty. Naughty but definitely hilarious, and very relatable. Proceed with caution.

Love, love, and nothing but love! That's what you're getting with this list today. Wholesome animal relationship - families and friends that will put a smile on your face and bring warmth to your heart. 

It's the kind of pure love that you can only see in the animal world - love that you know is so genuine and so strong. We can only hope that we, one day, will have a family as loving as those in these pictures for ourselves. And we hope that you're as surrounded by love and as happy as the animals in these pictures. 

We, humans, have such a special and beautiful bond with various animals. It's a bond that strengths over time, over trust, and love. It's a bond we are constantly working on, or maybe it just comes naturally to us. We adore the animals in our lives and it's so reassuring and beautiful just to see that love captured in an image. 

Animals can provide us with so much joy, responsibilities, definitely, but always it's worth their love and happiness. We can help but feel all warm inside whenever we see a strong bond between a human and an animal, no matter the species. 

There's something so special about bonding with a pet, and even more so when you didn't think you ever would... ahem ahem dads out there who didn't originally want a pet. 

We all hold special bonds with our pets and it's always utterly precious to see those inside moments that people and animals share. You can feel the strong connection, you can see the love in their eyes and movements. Having that connection is a powerful thing and these men are no exception to feeling that love. 

Cheers to all the beautiful animals in our lives! They don't even know how much joy they bring to our lives.

Today's unlikely relationships treat is cats with sheep. Cats have an insanely unfair reputation of being too unfriendly. People who don't own cats simply do not understand just how cuddly they can be. With humans or with other animals, cats tend to gravitate toward whoever is kind to them. Of course, kindness for cats is not the same as, say- kindness for dogs. 

Cats appreciate their space, they appreciate respect, they believe in being independent and treated as such. And they very highly appreciate floof. Floof is one of the ultimate things that cats are attracted to. And who has more fluff that sheep? So, while on its face, cats and sheep may look like an unlikely relationship, once you think about it, it kind of does make sense.  

Sharks who form long-lasting friendships with one another? That's actually really cute.

According to a team of scientists, in Florida, they have recently discovered that grey reef sharks form long-lasting relationships with one another. Yannis Papastamatiou, a member of the team studying this phenomenon, said "We don't think of sharks as social animals, but they do have social groups."

The grey reef sharks are large-eyed sharks who roam the Pacific and Indian ocean. They are known to be aggressive nocturnal predators but it turns out they have a soft side when it comes to other grey reef sharks.
