It all started when Twitter user @shannoncooperox shared this little anecdote of her 10-year-old neighbor dumping water on her cat while she couldn't just ignore it.
That's when things got really heated.
The people with kids came out at her claiming she is a full-grown adult who has no right to punish a kid this way. On the other hand, cat people were all in favor.
What do you think?
One universal truth that everyone can seemingly agree on -- cats hate water.
Maybe not all cats, but about 99.8% do.
In that .02%, there's Odin. Odin is a gorgeous white tiger who not only likes to swim -- he LOVES it. Odin spends a majority of his time in the water! He enjoys it so much that he even hunts in the water.
Thanks to Kritter Klub for the awesome footage!
After the devastating fire that rampaged Australia, The Rescue Collective, a Brisbane-based wildlife charity, described the situation as "a wildlife apocalypse."
Sadly, it is feared that thousands of Koalas have died in the blaze, and others from injures caused by the blaze.
But the people of Australia are doing their best to save the endangered koalas to the best of their efforts.
In this video, you witness cyclists who have stopped in their tracks to give a parched koala some much-needed water. After giving water from seven bottles to the animal, the group cycled home thirsty in 40 degree heat.
A little bit of kindness goes a long way. We're thankful for those who are doing what they can to help these defenseless creatures and hope it inspires others to do good in their neighborhoods, as well!

When you are lazy, every single task, and we mean every. single. task. is a challenge. This cat wants the water, and by God it will get it. Just not in the conventional way we're all used to seeing.
"Hey, we are not lazy, we are conserving energy!" - Cats, probably.
Thank you, U.S. Coast Guard for being there and caring for all living things!
Off the coast of Florida, the crew stationed at Fort Byers received a call of a pup in distress and jumped into action!
In a dramatic video, shared on the U.S. Coast Guard Twitter page, you see the boat carefully pull up alongside the stranded pup who is struggling to stay above water. The crew was able to reel the dog onto their boat and delivery the pooch back to shore -- and back to the owner.

This Maine coon is definitely having a Hot girl Cat Summer!
Tissy, a 5-year-old Maine Coon from Pennsylvania is fighting the stereotype that all felines hate water. Not only does Tissy love water, she goes swimming in the family pool at least once a week (supervised, of course).
Tissy was adopted five years ago by the Herr family after she was rescued as a kitten from a busy parking lot. The Herrs didn't know at the time that tiny, flea-covered kitten would grow up to be so large and fluffy!
Tissy's owner, Sonny told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "People say it's crazy, but she's just a laid-back cat that loves to swim."
