Have you ever seen anything more hilarious than a tiny child who is not old enough to appreciate fine dining be subjected to the classiest food and service available? I haven't, but that's because I don't get out a lot. And because there is nothing funnier than a four-year-old who can't read a menu. Well, maybe a…
As Ebola is becoming increasingly widespread (terrifying), governments are doing everything in their power to keep the illness contained. In Spain, that means Madrid's government has decided to euthanize the dog of a nursing assistant.
In the cutest vine ever, this roly poly hedgehog just wants to roll with his pine cone homies (sorry), but doesn't seem to realize that they can't react back. Poor guy.
All while recording it on video/inadvertantly taking a selfie! They don't call him the Owl Whisperer for nothing.
Fire fighters were called to a home in Roseville, California on Tuesday where a family was being terrorized by their housecat. The owner, who wished to remain anonymous, called authorities when Khat (I don't know why that name is terrifying to me) attacked the owner's sister, mother, and brother, sending them to the…
Oh, hello, Tiny Corgi. I see you on your hero's journey. We all have a metaphorical tennis ball in our lives: one that enraptures and terrifies us, one that forces us to lock horns with ourselves but ultimately come out better. Stronger. Fuck that tennis ball up for US ALL, Tiny Corgi. Then—and only then—will you…
Maybe "joy" is overstating it, since having your front limbs mauled by sharks is a tough thing to get over. But thanks to the perseverance of a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo, loggerhead sea turtle Yu Chan can swim again after a shark attack. 27 prosthesis models later (see? Perseverance), she's…
In case you have forgotten, possums look like ferrets on steroids and are as cute as all get-out, especially the Australian breed, especially this one, who is earnestly investigating the cameraperson.
This is a 5 and 1/2 week-old baby squirrel being fed some formula. Cash prize to anyone who can figure out what TV show the squirrel's owner is watching. You can hear it in the background if the visual cuteness isn't completely deafening.
It's a battle for the ages: Kitten is a sheltered professional fighter who has been waiting for all of her eight weeks of life for this moment, but is emotionally chafing under the strict reigns of his gruff father/trainer. Meanwhile, Parrot is the scrappy underdog (underparrot?) who learned to fight on the rough…
Most dog owners will tell you their dog does not like it one bit when they cry, but did you know that it also bugs the sensitive little creatures when people they don't even know are crying? Yes, that is how freaking sweet and squeezably lovable dogs are. Dr. Deborah Custance and Jennifer Mayer, psychologists at the…
If you thought the nail art trend for humans was getting out of hand, what with duckfeet and all, then you'll really be unhappy to learn that people are getting all artsy on their dogs' nails too. (Obviously they're not doing this to cats because, hah, like any cat is dumb enough to let you paint the logo of your…
We should never let a moment pass in which we're not scrutinizing something the President is doing, so thankfully the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has just stepped forward to publicly declare that they'd like Obama to watch what he eats when he's in front of the camera. Ulka Agarwal, chief…
Now that someone has figured out how to inflate their precious pup like it's a balloon, we can stop bothering with all the twisting and tweaking required to make those fancy balloon animals. The real version is much cuter and is much less likely to blow up in your face.
On the one hand, your pet can't help but explode with excitement whenever they see you because you are the most wonderful person. On the other hand, they deeply resent you for not spending your every waking moment giving them belly rubs, handing them a constant stream of treats, and walking them all at the same…
Bold move, kitty! And definitely the best way to cut out the middleman and go straight to the source for delicious fish.
Hummingbirds are adorable enough flitting around and eating with their delicate little beaks, but this little guy has taken being cute to the next level. Snoring has never been so quietly perfect.
People do a lot of stupid things to themselves, and it's not generally a problem. But when they start doing things to pets, it becomes awful very quickly. Witness this poor cat with a tattoo. Apparently pet tattooing has become a trend in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan, where the owner, a 24-year-old tattoo artist,…
Dogs are usually pretty good at tugging at our heartstrings, but when you set them to music and highlight all of the sweet and brave things they do to take care of us, all hell breaks loose in the human heart. This may look like a simple spot for Purina, but really it is some high-level plot by the dog kingdom to…
Dog rescue videos can be nerve-wracking for any animal lover, but I promise you watching this one will be worth it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is the tiniest puppy. Just be sure to secure your electronic device in advance because you might start jumping up and down when the little guy finally…
