water

One of our absolute favorite things about animal twitter is how much it can fall in love randomly with the most random things. Like animals behind glasses. You may not think that's anything special, but you'd be wrong. One tweet about parrots behind glasses with water goes viral, and the rest becomes twitter history.

Twitter users sharing pictures of their own adorable animals behind glasses of water and finding other pictures of it online, and suddenly, you have one of our favorite twitter threads of all time - full of wholesome, innocence, and mild annoyance. It's perfect. 

Outsmarting a cat is an achievement like no other. They are little hooligans, and they think that they are so dang smart. Even when they get ridiculously stuck in our curtain and scream until we get them out, they are still doing it on purpose obviously, they are still the smartest creature in the room. But sometimes, just sometimes, we can properly outsmart them. 

These weirdly informative yet hilarious tumblr posts tell the story of such cases. I mean, you have to get your silly cat to drink sOmeHOw, and if it means having to convince your cat that it's really just being sneaky and clever and drinking from your cup, well, that's just par for the course. 

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  -- Winnie, the showering kitty! 

Meet Winnie, an adorable and quite unusual kitty who was adopted from a shelter in London, Ontario! What's unique about Winnie, you might ask? Well, she loves to shower. She also loves to chow down on veggies, walk on a treadmill, AND actually enjoys being vacuumed! All these common things we believe all cats hate but here's Winnie defying them all! 

Be sure to follow Winnie on Instagram for more shower time adventures! 

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Munchkin Hinako, the real-life 'Puss in Boots'! 

We know that summer is technically over. But it is never over in our hearts, and we miss hanging out at the beach so so much. So, we decided that we wanna feel the sun on our skin and the wind in our hair through some wholesome pictures of animals absolutely loving the beach. 

It's not just the animals you expect enjoying the beach either. It's cats and kangaroos and elephants. Everyone loves the beach, and we love all of these animals. These pics are for anyone looking for some summery feels, and we hope they bring you at least a hint of the joy they brought us. And if summer is not your thing, here are some cats enjoying autumn. 

Every week, we bring you a new collection of animal pictures that are simply too incredible to describe in anything less than 1000 words. Some pictures are just like that, the stories behind them are too vast and complex. And many times, even though we may not know the story, it takes all but one glimpse to know that it's there. Something must have led to this special moment in time being caught, either something hilarious, adorable, or shocking. 

So, look at these incredible photos and let your imagination take over. Who knows? Maybe you'll see one that will inspire you and have you wanting to make something incredible of your own.

Yes, you indeed read that correctly. Even though bath time is normally the worst nightmare for every cat owner and most house cats, some cats actually do like playing around in water. Either random house cats who confuse their owners with their enjoyment of water or special cat breeds who are known for liking water. Ridiculous, I know, no scratching or screaming or anything like that. Only calm kittens who enjoy taking baths, swimming, walking in the rain, or just splashing around. 

Lucky cats owners, honestly. It would probably be a blast to watch your cat happily play around in the bath. But alas, if an accident happens, and your cat ends up falling into your bath or stepping under the shower spray, be prepared for them to knock everything out of the way on their frantic sprint out of the room. At least it's funny though. 

Reddit user, u/missmadimissmadi, shared a collage of items that her cat has "drowned" in its water bowl and it's nothing short of amazing. 

This cat has taken the most random items to submerge in the water bowl, from q-tips to fake eyelashes! Comments were quick to share some similar experiences of their own. 

All we know is that this cat is pretty darn awesome. 

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?      

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.
