Today we are featuring a very cool artist! Hailing from Moscow and going by @koty_vezde on Instagram, Galya is an amateur photoshopper. Their hobby has been developed over the past year and they have created a whole cat-like universe! They make funny mixes of cats with different animals and objects. As you can see for yourselves, we've got here almost every imaginable combination of cats and other animals!

We love supporting artists from around the world and featuring their work! We love all things animal. That means art, science, day to day, humor, and everythinggg in between. And it is a well known fact that we have a super weak spot for all things cat. Henceforth, we instantly fell in love with Galya's work and hope that all of you enjoy it just as much as we did!

According to a report by World Animal News: "Between June 4th and 8th, Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff members observed three new wolf pups with their parents, collared wolves who are known to reside in the state." This exciting news had many Colorado locals feeling hopeful for these pups' future in the state.

Even the Governor shared his thoughts of excitement in a statement! "Colorado is now home to our first wolf litter since the 1940s. We welcome this historic den and the new wolf family to Colorado. With voter passage last year of the initiative to require re-introduction of the wolf by the end of 2023, these pups will have plenty of potential mates when they grow up to start their own families," said Governor Jared Polis. 

Good day everyone! As you all know, there are few things we love more than cats. To be clear, we love cats in alllll aspects of the word. We do not discriminate based on size, color, breed, or any other distinguishing factors! When we see a chonky cat, we simply think to ourselves "more to love!" These big kitties are full of floof and there's plenty to love.

When scrolling through the interwebs, there are a few things that tend to catch our attention. Chonky cats are pretty much at the top of the list! They might not be as agile as your average cat, but what they lack in flexibility they make up for in hilarity. Enjoy this carefully crafted arrangement of chonky cats and lots of humor.

Happy Wednesday, folks! The week may or may not have gotten off to a slow start, but we're here to give it a little boost. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means…we're working our way over the hump and on to the weekend! As much as we love to look forward to the weekends, it's important to enjoy and make the most of the weekdays, too! 

Every week, we search high and low for the most humorously refreshing memes and tweets that make us LOL. We invite you to relax, comfortably seat yourself, and dive head first into the realm of wholesome animal humor. Life can get pretty crazy, hey we just went through and are still recovering from a devastating pandemic! Don't forget to appreciate the little things, you deserve it.

According to a recent BBC report: "A giant tortoise managed to make it about a mile across a town before being apprehended by police. Titan, who weighs in at a whopping nine stone (60kg), was found in Kesgrave, near Ipswich, on Friday. It took three police officers to lift the wayward pet into a van and drive him home to his worried owner." Now that is one heavy tortoise! 

"Richard Aston said it was a 'mystery' how Titan made it that far as he had not broken through his shelter. 'Maybe he teleported there,' he said. When police called Mr. Aston, he was not at home so had no idea his 35-year-old pet African sulcata tortoise was on the loose. 'There was no sign of the fence being broken, and he can't jump over it - it's three feet high,' he said." How on earth did Titan manage to find his way out of his enclosed area?? All that matters is that now he's safe and sound!

As much as we hate to think about it, all too often animals are neglected, underappreciated, and can end up in animal shelters or worse. On the flip side, adoption can be the most amazing experience a neglected animal can go through in their lifetime. Every week, we highlight some of the amazing transformations that occur when a newly adopted animal is showered with love and affection.

The transformations that can occur even in a relatively short amount of time can be drastic! It just goes to show that there is nothing a little love cannot cure. These animals have so much love to give and they are just waiting, often in shelters, for their hoomans. We always recommend taking a trip down to your local shelter, if not to adopt than at least to get to know some of the amazing souls that call it home.

Did you know that manatees have no natural predators and can even be found peacefully coexisting with alligators?? Neither did we. Turns out, there are a ton of super cool manatee facts that we had no clue about! We love learning more about the earth and all the amazing creatures that call it home. Let's have a go!

Let's learn more here from this PBS article on Manatee facts! These hugeee sea creatures are the most awwdorably gentle giants we have ever seen! They swim slowly through the waters, taking their time without a care in the world. Check out the below video to get a brief overview of the cute wholesome creatures called manatees, and stick around for all the fun facts!
