Sometimes, you gotta take a breather and have a little fun!
This video may be 8-years-old but the feeling of happiness it provides is pure gold.
Five adorably fluffy kittens are in attack-mode when coming across a "bug."
Watch their reactions and smile!
Meet the ever-handsome orange tabby named Thor!
Thor was born feral, and is completely blind. According to TinyKittens HQ, it's a miracle he managed to live on his own, out in the streets, for the first year of his life.
Thankfully, Thor is now in some loving hands, and as TinyKittens HQ writes in their description, "we promise he will know nothing but love, comfort and a full belly from now on."
Thor has already gained 6 pounds, in their care, and even has a playmate named Nyla!
"His fear instinct is quite ingrained, so it might take some time for us to help him build enough confidence with humans that he doesn't try to run and hide. Once we have him in our laps, he is just loving being hand fed and having his ears and chin rubbed.
Nyla is keeping Thor company until she gets her spay and eye surgery tomorrow. She has one purrfect eye, and is very fearful in captivity, so we are hoping she will be able to return to her friends and family in our Happy Forest managed feral colony once she's fully recovered. As with all of our ferals, we will bring her back in if she needs further medical care or if she changes her mind about life with humans."
A huge shout out and thank you to TinyKittens HQ for all their incredible and loving work they provide!
Meet adventure cat, Nala, and her loving human, Dean! Deanfirst came across Nala on the side of the road while biking his way through Bosnia. Nala began to chase after Dean, and Dean obviously wasn't going to bring her along -- he was biking across the world, for goodness sake! But Nala wouldn't take no for an answer. She won't stop following Dean, and Dean decided he had to take her along on his journey.
So, Dean cleared up some space on his bike and made a little area for her to sit comfortably, as he pedaled. When they rode off, Nala decided she wanted to be closer to her chosen human and climbed onto his shoulders. Soon enough, they became inseparable travel buddies.
And now, Dean has a new bike set-up for his little furbaby -- a new and improved basket!
"Got the basket on the bike, put Nala in and went out to test it out! so far so good, just need to see what its like in the rain!!"
"How do you know if your cat is bored?"
From a feline ethological point of view, AnimalWised dives into this question. Starting with explaining symptoms of a bored cat so help their humans recognize it early and change up their routine. Symptoms like, does your cat ignore you? Do they jump on your feet? Do they sleep more than usual?
I know what you're thinking -- cat's sleep like 14-16 hours a day so if that's a sign of boredom -- aren't ALL cats considered "bored"?
Not necessarily. Watch to find out more.
Philmo, the young rescued bobcat has been taken into the vet for a surprise visit. Philmo was developing mats on his hind end, and it's unncommon for a bobcat as young as himself to do so.
Big Cat Rescue decided to look into the matter quickly, taking Philmo to the vet where they discovered he has kyphosis.
Kyphosis is described online as "excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back."
Thankfully, Big Cat Rescue saw there was a problem and immediately cared for Philmo! Philmo will be receiving pain management and hopefully things will turn around!
Thanks Big Cat Rescue for truly caring for all these gorgeous animals! Big Cat Rescue is an educational non-breeding, accredited, sanctuary and a registered non-profit 501c3 so your donations are tax deductible!
Sometimes, the day just calls for a simple video of a bunch of aww-dorable cuddly kittens all piled up on one another.
So sit back, grab a fluffy blanket and maybe some hot cocoa -- and let the "aww's" commence!
And we'd like to leave you with a quote from the one and only Deli Llama... "He who does not like cats does not like life."
Enjoy!
Cat: Hi human. Wanna to become one with me? One body and soul?
Human: no.
You can see beautiful cats by this pond, sweet and affectionate.
Maybe a tad bit too affectionate.. Nah, that's not a thing.
Natalie Kepa took her six-year-old daughter, Stella, waterskiing in Kumutoto Bay, New Zealand, when they ran into something unexpected -- orcas!
Kepa told Storyful that upon first seeing the orcas, she simply "didn't know what to do."
As you can see in the video, Stella is absolute natural waterskiing, her mom and others cheer her on as she takes on this new activity for the very first time. However, soon those cheers turn into shouts of shock.
"I was beside myself," Natalie told Storyful. Stella, on the other hand, "totally loved it," Natalie said. She "was crazily calm throughout" and is now keen to get out again as her friends thing she's an awesome "whale rider."
According to Whale Facts, orcas tackle large prey and won't attack a human unless threatened. Did you know that there are no known cases of humans being killed by them in the wild? Just something to chew on.
Be sure to look at the bottom of the video under the wake at 0:29 in the water... CRAZY.
What's the first thing you thing of when you think of Winter? Snow!
Snow is pretty darn magical, and might be the best thing to come out of Winter (we're not talking about full-on blizzards here).
What could make snow even more magical? Animals. Wildlife enjoying Mother Nature's beautiful snow-filled wonderland.
And while we watch this, with our blankets wrapped around us and heater besides our feet, we can comfortable say that this BBC Earth special, 'Best of Animals in the Snow' is particularly a winter-inspired treat!
'Pixie and Brutus,' is a comic created by the talented Pet_Foolery! It's about a retired military dog, Brutus, who gets a forever home with a sweet and very innocent kitten, Pixie. Pixie and Brutus's relationship is so incredibly wholesome. The comic is widely successful and has millions of fans. One of those fans decided to make a short animation based on the comic!
Scyrina, started this animation over a year ago and even though he's not completely satisfied with the outcome, he still shared it with the world and everyone is loving it!
On this episode of teen moms...
Kitten Lady, YouTuber and kitten-lover extraordinaire, is taking care of a kitten...who had a kitten. As she writes in the video description, "Kittens shouldn't be having kittens, folks."
She also includes this fact, "Did you know that a kitten can get pregnant as young as 4 months of age? That's why you should always spay and neuter kittens before they reach 4 months of age--to prevent pregnancy and stop the teen cat mom epidemic!"
We didn't know -- but glad we do now!
Please spay and neuter your pets!
If this isn't the cutest lil pooper we have ever seen!
Tori, the kitten, is real good at being a kitten. He's got the form, the wildness and the cuteness.
However, that's not all! He's got determination! And you can see that when he focuses real hard on pooping.
Way to go, Tori!
This handsome and glorious chonky ginger cat isn't just "walking around". We believe that this majestic animal grants you a royal tour through its kingdom.
And we are so on board.
Watch as this little (but big) lion confidently struts up and down the port. What a lovable guard!
Robin Seplut and all cat lovers: "cute cat is saying something to me."
"This human is saying something to me." - cat, probably.
This adorable talkative cat seemingly has something important to share with us all -- so listen up!
A big thank you to Robin Seplut for feeding all the stray and feral cats on the street! A little goes a long way.
This sweet stray kitten has been taken into a forever home! But first thing is first, the little kitten is in desperate need of a bath!
Baby kitten finds out that first baths are not easy or fun.. but the kitten sure is a good sport!
Get ready for some major aww's and cuteness!
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!
