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. 

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. 

It is a known fact that cats are lazy. No surprise to anyone there. But just how lazy are cats really? Well, tumblr decided to find out, and apparently, the answer is: you can stack approximately 20 power rangers onto a cat, and it will not even budge. 27 toddler socks also works as well as "many" oranges. 

Our theory is that cats think that if they simply don't react - not even a single flinch - then we suddenly won't see that they're there and leave them alone. But hey, as much as we love these little felines, cats are mildly annoying sometimes, so we get to mildly annoy them too occasionally. Don't worry though, a snack is in order after this weird experiment. 

So, some animals are jerks, everyone knows that. From octopuses randomly punching other fish to parrots messing with dogs to cats just being... cats. But have you ever heard of a jerk peacock? Well, meet Goofus, or, as he is more commonly known, The Death Of The Universe And The End Of All Things. He's a jerk, and we love him. 

He has the most terrifying honk-like scream in the world, and he is not afraid to use it, whether it's against innocent feral cats, his humans, or other peacocks. Of course, he's also the kind of the blanket, and he's too fancy for your shenanigans. There's just something about birds having personalities that always gets to us, and Goofus id no different. 

It's important to sometimes take a step back and remember how important you are to your pets. We all take them for granted sometimes, forgetting just how much joy and love they bring into our households. We can't help it - we're as used to them living in our house as we're used to our own human family members. 

To warn everyone, tumblr users decided to boost a post that remind everyone how important our pets are to us and we are to our pets. They might be tiny, but they love you so much, and you are their whole world. 

Have your own heartwarming pet story to share? Come to ICanHas Storytime, tell us all about it, and let us all fawn over your adorable fluffball. 

If you're anything like I was before I adopted a cat, you know three things: you loves cats, you want a cat, and you don't know the first thing about taking care of them. That shouldn't stop you from adopting a cat, not if you want to give it love and cuddles and the best life it can have.

Of course, you can always go on the internet and look for information about raising cats, that's what I did, but the information is scattered, and it can be hard to filter through what you really need to know and what you don't. Thankfully, carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory on tumblr decided to collect all the information that you need and put it in one place, creating the ultimate guide to cat adoption that will answer most, if not all, of your questions and make the process of getting a cat a much less scary one.

If you've never tried to make your cat play with bird/fish videos on your laptop, now is the time. They might not care, or maybe they'll just care for a little while, but for the time that they do care, it'll be the funniest thing you've seen your cat do in a while. No, silly kitty, you can't catch the bird on the screen, but it's sure as heck funny to watch how confused you are. 

And goodness, you better hope that they don't accidentally pause the video as they're watching, because the confusion is only going to intensify. Actually, never mind that, pause the video for them and laugh some more. And laugh at this tumblr thread that gives us the best of cats birdwatching on computers while you're at it. 

Every cat owner knows that cats food - the morning wake up screaming is iconic at this point. But some cats have the tendency to get too enthusiastic. My cat will sometimes eat so fast, she'll throw up almost immediately, and that's always awful to see. So, you have to do your best to take care of them and make sure that they don't end up hurting themselves with their overenthusiasm. 

Thanks to this informative and also funny tumblr thread, you're about to learn some ways to help your kitty calm down. It's advice for everyone - whether you have money to buy these things or you want DIY ideas. So, thank you tumblr, for allowing us to laugh and learn at the same time. 

Cats, being relatives of some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, had to have gotten to the point of being house kitties somehow. Self-domestication seems to have been the way they did it- coming in and deciding that it's better to get pampered by these puny humans than to go through the hardships outside alone. And apparently, this act of domesticating oneself is not a thing of the past.

Everyone, say hi to Ghost, the cat who was born into a feral cat colony, walked into tchaikovsgay's life (and house) one day and simply never left. She's adorable, she had the cutest toof, she loves belly rubs, and we are probably almost as happy as she is for having found her forever home. 

If you're a cat lover like us, you have a soft spot in your heart not just for house cats but also for big cats. You'd pet them if you could, and you know it. And you wish you could spend more time around big cats like that and get to know them better, learn about each of them - what makes them special and different and what their personalities are like. 

Well, say thank you to tumblr user carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory for deciding to share their big cat knowledge with us and teaching us - unlucky big cat lovers who can't spend time with big cats - about what makes wild cats unique. Reading this has both educated us and made us want to cuddle a snow leopard even more. 

Everyone, say hi to Mincha - the 14 year old senior cat who has the face of a human baby while also looking like an old grandma. Say hi loudly though, she'll probably understand you considering that she's definitely at least part human, but she needs you to speak loudly so she can hear, okay?

Thank you to aoryuucchi for sharing pictures of this awwwdorable senior kitty in this tumblr thread. There is nothing that we love more than giving love back to well taken care of senior cats, and this expressive little lady looks like she has a lovely forever home to be happy in. 

If you have you own unique cuties, come share their stories in our Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime - so we'll be able to give your fluffballs some luuuurv too. 

Everyone, meet Citra - the cutest orange female kitty who doesn't know how to meow properly. It happens sometimes, what can you do? Some cats just don't know how to cat, but we don't love them any less because of it. Our adorable little furballs are the best no matter how imperfectly perfect they are. And Citra, tumblr user's happyhealthycats's kitty, is extra perfect. 

Of course, tumblr instantly fell in love with her, as did we, but we also fell in love with her twin sister and with their three unrelated siblings, each of whom is an adorable weirdo in its own right. So, listen to Citra's weirdo little broken meows and fall in love with her like the rest of us.

Did you know that elephants think we're cute? Just like we think that kittens and puppies (and elephants) are adorable, apparently, elephants think the same thing about it. They're also the absolute gentlest giants - who form long-lasting friendships and mourn their lost, and yes, with every single thing that we learn about elephants, we grow to love them even more. 

The following tumblr thread explains exactly how amazing elephants are and how much these giants deserve love and appreciation. So read it, fall in love alongside us, and once you do, check out some more elephant cuteness right here. 

Question to all pet owners out there: have you ever desperately wanted to understand what your pet is saying when they're talking to you? If your answer is yes, moderngargoyle on tumblr is about to explain why that's a really, really bad idea. 

This poor tumblr user has made the mistake of giving their dog buttons with recorded words to press on whenever it wants something, and it turns out... that the dog really liked food. Shocker. And though it may have been somewhat disappointing to moderngargoyle, not having gotten precisely what they wanted, for us, their mental breakdown over being woken up a million times in the middle of the night by the dog asking for food is heckin' hilarious. 

We all know that cats are the fiercest, coolest, most badass little beings. Even our little spoiled fluffballs have a little tiger in them. But the The Black Footed cat, well that is a true fierce kitty. Thank you, tumblr, for introducing us to this special wild kitty. 

Tiny even when it's fully grown, this murderbaby has a higher kill success rate than actual lions. And you know what, looking at it... we are truly terrified. We totally don't want to lift it up and cuddle it and give it snacks and kiss its fierce little head. Totally not. Then again, we love cats so much that we would probably say the same thing about actual lions, so... gimme that little murdermuffin, i wanna give it a smooch. 

Cats - otherwise known as little fluffballs of mischief. They can be the most affectionate, cuddly, wholesome little beings right up until something very valuable is standing on the edge of your shelf, then... really, it's your fault for leaving it there. That vase was totally fair game for the cat. 

No cat embodies this spirit of mischief better than tumblr user's, sandersstudies, cat. This awwwwdorable little furball just keeps causing problems. From incriminating sandersstudies's husband to not letting them sleep at night, the shenanigans never end. Of course, the cat also knows she can get away with anything if she just makes that face at them. 

We're weak for cats, what can you do? It's a universal cat lovers problem.
