Brazillian biologist André Costa sometimes brings his work home with him (when you see what that work is, you’ll understand why). The animal lover brought together two animals who we usually assume to be natural enemies and instead discovered an unlikely friendship. Cleo and Forbi, a cat and owl, are nothing like their Sylvester and Tweety Bird predecessors. […]
They might not look it, but lions are really just big kittens at heart. Don’t believe us? Well, these females at the Oregon Zoo are about to show you. While they generally spend their days lazing around (sound familiar?), being fed at the same time, and never fearing for their safety, these beautiful lions still […]
There’s a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, that takes in any and all visitors. No matter who they are, all visitors are encouraged to come in and stay a while — even if they’re stray cats. Why? Because Imam Mustafa Efe believes in offering generosity to all creatures in need, human or otherwise. It’s no wonder […]
Cats are known for their rather peculiar, if not anti-social, behaviors. People who adore felines like them because they are independent and they don’t require a lot of the care that dogs or other pets need. This cat, however, has a very strange quirk. Whenever he sees a human around, he reaches for the sky […]
Though I adore my cats, I admit that I’m often baffled by their odd behavior. Whether I’m finding ripped-up carpeting, watching glasses of water being knocked over, or being bombarded by a needy cat that demands my attention while I’m trying to work, one thing’s for sure — they definitely aren’t boring. The people who […]
As a kid, I remember rousing games of hide-and-seek. I thought I was so good. Turns out, every time I went to hide, I chose the same spot. Yeah, it’s safe to say that my parents and brothers caught on quickly and just humored me most of the time. Our pets probably have the same […]
Cat owners will probably agree that when their furry friends want attention, they get attention. Sure, those rare times might not always (or, well…ever) line up with the times you need some snuggling, but on the rare occasion when you’re trying to give attention to another being, well that’s just not acceptable. Which is why […]
If you heard the tiniest “meow” coming from beneath the very cement you were walking on, what would you do? For one group of people, the choice was clear. For days, visitors at the Cultural Center in Araras, Brazil, heard the cries of kittens coming from below the entrance. When they called the police, they […]
For this adorable rottweiler, if there was a fire and he had to race back into the house to grab one thing…it’d be his best friend — the cat! Because there’s simply nothing he loves more in the entire world. While that doesn’t sound believable (don’t dogs hate cats?), we have video proof that these […]
