11 Guilty Pets Who Know What They Did

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:45:51 +0000

There’s nothing surprising about our pets getting into shenanigans when we’re not looking. Sometimes we find the little buggers in the act, and what results is adorably hilarious. But other times, we’re not lucky enough to catch them red-handed, although their guilty expressions totally allude to trouble. Basically, pets are really bad at keeping a [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:08:30 +0000

Perma-kitten Lil Bub took the internet by storm last summer. Since then the feline, who has a bone condition which leaves her paws deformed and her mouth open and will stay small because she's a dwarf, has been viewed millions of times on YouTube and is a force on Facebook and Twitter.

Until yesterday, the Broadway production of the Truman Capote classic ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ had been notable for starring ‘Game of Thrones’ mother of dragons Emilia Clarke in the Holly Golightly role. But now it’s an animal actor who’s getting all the ink. Mortie, a cat, is the understudy to Vito Vincent, another cat, who plays Holly’s pet [...]

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:36:52 +0000

Now here’s a documentary that’s the cat’s pajamas. (Sorry.) Internet sensation Lil Bub — the “perma-kitten” that stole everyones heart with that oh, so cute stare — is getting her own film!

Here's a Bunch of Cats Being Total Jerks

Emerald Catron — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:04:09 +0000

The internet has a longstanding, undisputed love of cats. Just because we love something doesn’t mean we have to think it’s perfect, though. Cats, for example, in addition to being cuddly and adorable, are basically huge jerks. You can argue if you want, but this video is proof. It’s just a two-minute montage of cats [...]

News Anchor Can't Get Through Fat Cat Story Without Cracking Up

Kyle Dowling — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:46:59 +0000

It looks as if that obesity epidemic that America finds itself in has spread to the feline population. Perhaps our FLOTUS can tackle that next, but until she does, we’ll settle for this news anchor’s giggling coverage. Occasionally, journalists are expected to cover stories called “fluff pieces,” such as this one about a cat attempting [...]

Internet Unsurprisingly Chooses Cat For Newest Monopoly Piece

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:55:08 +0000

The public has spoken and Monopoly will cast away the boring old iron token, a symbol of domestic housework from a simpler time (it's not even an electric iron), which has been included in the board game for almost 80 years.

In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

Dog Person or Cat Person? [POLL]

Jeff Easterling — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:18:10 +0000

I was once told there are Elvis people, and there are Beatle people… you can like both, but you know that you like one more than the other… same with Cats and Dogs. So, just curious of the listening audience and would like to do a quick poll…

See an Adorable Kitten's Jedi Mind Trick

Emerald Catron — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:40:13 +0000

We suspect this video is supposed to be cute. It is not cute. It is terrifying. Cats are not to be trusted. Sometimes you can pet them. Sometimes they try to rip your flesh off with their angry, sharp claws. Why would you want to imagine a world in which they can control things with their [...]

Amanda Ferris — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 16:35:43 +0000

Brave Cat Saves Baby From Python

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:00:52 +0000

Not long ago, Tess Guthrie’s cat was hissing so loud that the sound woke her from her slumber. And when the 22-year old Australian mom did open her eyes she saw a six foot python had wrapped itself around the arm of her six-month-old daughter, who was sleeping right next to her. “I thought I [...]

Back in 2009, when Evan was seven, his family adopted a cat named Macha from City Kitties, an animal rescue in Philadelphia. The boy immediately took to the feline, and to show City Kitties his appreciation for his new pet, he wrote them a nice handwritten thank you note which included a $46.75 donation that he had saved up from his allowance.

Donald Deane — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:48:09 +0000

Generally, it's impossible to get cats to do anything on command, let alone smuggle contraband. But a kitty in Brazil was recently detained for attempting to sneak nearly a dozen items into a prison in the northeastern town of Arapiraca.

Meet The Politest Cat On The Internet

Dan Seitz — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:34:15 +0000

Cats have a reputation for being rude and mean, and in some cases it’s not entirely undeserved. In other cases, though, there are cats who demonstrate just the opposite. Like this one, who politely taps a human on the arm, and keeps it up until he gets some scratches. Manners really will get you everywhere. [...]

Kitty With Magnetic Collar Is Accidental Cat Burglar

Emerald Catron — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:14:30 +0000

Milo is undoubtedly the world's cutest thief. Her whiskers. Her paws. Her prancing about the neighborhood, going into random houses willy-nilly and accidentally stealing a bunch of stuff. Adorable. Unless of course you're the owner of one of the 20 sets of keys she's stolen over the past week.

Girl Puts Cat on Treadmill, Doesn't End in Tragedy

Emerald Catron — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:23:37 +0000

You might want to watch a video of a cat on a treadmill for the moment when it goes flying off and hits a door hard enough to make a sound but not hard enough to injure the cat. This is not that video. This is a video of a cat that does a pretty [...]

10 Cats Dressed Like Reindeer

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:15:28 +0000

Not that we're counting or anything, but Christmas is only 27 days and a few hours away, which means it's time to get into the spirit ASAP. Now, this doesn't mean going 'Gangnam Style' crazy with house lights. You also don't have to go buying the 12 days of Christmas to prep for the holidays either, although that would be super awesome. It can require very little to no effort to feel all tingly with Christmas excitement, like making obnoxiously long gift lists or dressing up our cats like reindeer. Come on, you know we can't get through the holidays without embarrassing our pets.

Baller Cat Videobombs Weather Report

Emerald Catron — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:35:18 +0000

Apparently the Univision parking lot is overrun with cats. But one of them wasn't content to hang around the lot and wait for its big break. This cat made its way into the building and walked on camera right in the middle of the weather report. And yes, its butt was definitely ready f
