Animals

This unexpected move and an intense staring contest. No one saw this coming, as the two pups were locked in a fierce, highly contentious battle of wills. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what finally ended the staring contest between these two precious pups.

A lot of people are highly competitive and will do whatever they can to claim victory in just about anything. Competition can and often is a good thing, but there are instances and occasions where it can get excessive. I think we can all recall times in our lives when a little friendly competition got out of hand, causing feelings to be hurt and relationships to be damaged. Not everything has to be a competition, but with some people, unfortunately, that is the case.

But when you bring together two ultra-competitive people, it can be a disaster for everyone involved. There is tension in the air, and the fun can quickly be sucked out of everything, and that’s a situation and an atmosphere that no one enjoys. It turns out, as one clip posted on YouTube makes clear, that this sense of ultra, over-the-top competitiveness can even include man’s best friend.

In the video, two pups are staring at one another. For what reason, we do not know, but we witness the two animals intensely looking at one another. Neither is willing to give an inch or a blink. This looked like a prolonged competition, something that could go on for several minutes.
But then something happens, something much more important to both of the adorable dogs, and it immediately breaks their staring battle. They now have much bigger and more important concerns.

When it comes to animals, and to many people, food and the stomach will always win out, no matter the circumstances of the present situation.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

What this kitten did is almost too cute to handle. The precious cat is easily the most adorable thing you’ll see today. Watch this short but delightful clip to see what this sweet kitten did that will have you watching this video multiple times.

Is there anything cuter than kittens? I think we all know the answer to that question. However, judging by the hundreds of thousands of cat videos posted on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, I’d say no, and I believe many other people would be and are in total agreement with me.

Kittens are constantly learning, exploring and chewing on something as those sweet, precious, energetic creatures run from here to there and everywhere. Seriously, having a kitten is a bit tiring and overwhelming at times. They need near-constant attention because they get into everything, and everything is a toy, even things that could cause them harm.

But on top of all of that, just about everything a kitten does is cute. Given how tiny they are, their actions are precious and downright adorable. That is a fact, and arguing otherwise is a total and complete waste of time, because you will always be wrong.

In the video, a young woman holds a tiny, orange-colored kitten in her hand. As she has the small feline up in the air, the kitten does what is likely one of the cutest things you’ll ever witness. It begins making biscuits with both front paws.

Now, you’re probably thinking there is no way this clip can possibly get any better, any cuter, and you’d be entirely wrong. Before the video ends, we hear the young woman on the phone, telling her mother she found three kittens in their RV.

In the video’s closing seconds, we see the two other kittens, and then a dog comes over and shows the orange kitten some love.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This cat’s hysterical response to its life jacket is comedy gold. It’s apparent from the feline’s unexpected and laugh-out-loud reaction that it’s not a fan of being fitted with the jacket. Watch the short but deliriously funny clip to see what the cat did that will have you giggling long after the video ends.

People love and adore their pets. It doesn’t matter if they have a cat, dog, rabbit, tortoise, or, for some insane reason, a snake; they will treat the animal like family. And why not? They all have a way of quickly finding their way into our hearts and remaining there forever.

Now, of course, part of being a family often means taking trips together. Who wants to go on vacation without a family member? It would feel incomplete and downright wrong to get some rest and relaxation without them. No one is going to leave them at home unless you’re Kevin’s mother in “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2”, which is one of the few instances where the sequel is better than the original.

A couple who planned to spend their Fourth of July holiday at a cabin on the lake wanted to take their cat, Seydlitz. Seydlitz is affectionately described as an “adventure kitty” who goes just about anywhere his owners go.

Now, whenever water is involved, there is a fair amount of danger involved. So, caution and common sense should be exercised throughout the outing. To be safe, Seydlitiz’s owners got him a life jacket, but the cat was not feeling it, as can be seen in the clip.

The clip’s description states that “we purchased a small dog life jacket and when I went to test fit it, he stiffened up like a board and then slowly fell over with a thump.”

It appears that fun out on the water is just not in Seydlitz’s future.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This large, unexpected guest dropped by for a visit. The creature apparently was in a friendly mood and wanted to stop for a short conversation, or, more likely, to say ‘Hi’ and ask how everyone was doing. Watch the brief but jaw-dropping clip to see the surprising creature that showed up on this house’s doorstep.

Being kind and friendly to those who show up on our doorstep should be a no-brainer. Being hospitable and welcoming is just part of being a halfway decent person. Honestly, what kind of individual would turn away someone who makes their way to the front door? Unless they are a known serial killer or something of that nature, most people will at least answer the door and see what’s brought them to their house.

Apparently, there are still some people who can be rather rude to visitors. They will completely ignore someone who comes to their door, leaving them standing there thinking that no one is home. Thanks to technological advancements, people can see and even listen in on the people who approach our front doors through Ring cameras. I’m guessing that because of this, a lot more people now refuse to answer their front doors for unexpected visitors.

One clip captured a moment when a visitor was left hanging in Cheney, Washington. However, given that the unexpected visitor was a large moose and not an actual human being, I think not answering the door was probably the right course of action in this case.

Can you imagine what would have happened if someone had opened the door for the wild animal? It likely would have barged right in as if it owned the place. Then, more than likely, it would have overstayed its welcome, making things incredibly awkward. The homeowners would have been ready for it to leave, but the moose would not have picked up the hint. No one wants that!

In Florence, SC, moments before the PeeDee Ice Cats face the Athens Rock Lobsters, a cat decides to examine the ice.

Check out the hilarious tactic this cat uses to make sure that it’s never ignored. The adorable feline wants attention and has figured out a cute and hysterical way of trying to get it. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip to see what this cat does to ensure that it gets what it wants when it wants it.

Who doesn’t love animals? They make life a fuller and richer experience. Animals are also much more intelligent than many people would likely admit. But anyone who has ever had a pet understands and is well aware of the surprising level of smarts those cute, furry, four-legged creatures possess.

All animals understand how to get what they want, whether that be food, water, shelter or even attention. They do what they must to meet these needs, which can sometimes mean implementing odd and unexpectedly funny methods. Pet owners know exactly when their furry friend desires food or wants to head out for its daily walk. They will act a certain way, and when they see that it works once, they will do it again and again.

Whenever a feline wants attention, it will do something that you would have likely never imagined or guessed. The cat will feign an injury, as shown in the YouTube clip. The animal will hilariously hold up one of its paws and then hop around, hoping this will win it the attention it so desperately requires.

However, there is only one problem with the feline’s selected plan of action. The cat is not always consistent, as the animal’s owners have noticed. The injured paw can and does change from one minute to the next. Although the cat’s owners have seen this flaw in the cat’s method, the animal may have achieved what it set out to do, even though the paw it injured changes by the minute.

A Golden Retriever put its intelligence on full display in this adorable clip. The brainy canine showed it has a surprisingly high level of smarts, quickly deciphering the object of the game in a matter of moments. Watch the short but sweet video to see what the cute, furry, four-legged creature did, and how it was correct more than it was wrong during its little game.

Everyone loves animals. They are so cute, loving and loyal. How could you not love them? Can anyone say with a completely straight face that they do not, that they’d rather those precious critters avoid them for the rest of their lives? What kind of person would ever say that?

Anyone who has ever had a pet understands that animals are much more intelligent than most people would like to admit. Dogs, especially, seem to have been blessed with a considerable amount of intelligence. Many possess an uncanny ability to read and understand specific situations and people’s emotions. It’s incredible what they can do. Give them a chance, and animals will surprise you, as every pet owner is fully aware of.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a sweet, adorable pup is put to the test. The young woman uses a tennis ball and three plastic cups, placing the ball under one of them. She then swiftly shuffles the cups around to see if the dog can locate the ball.

This same process happens multiple times during the short clip. Sometimes the dog is successful and quickly sniffs out the ball and chooses the correct cup. On other occasions, the animal gets it wrong, but more times than not, the dog chooses the cup concealing the tennis ball.

Animals are special creatures who always make life a better, richer and fuller experience.

This cat’s adorable morning routine will make your day. The sweet feline has a particular way, a process by which it starts every day, and it’s almost too cute. Watch the short but purr-fectly precious clip to see and hear how this cat prefers to begin every single day.

Cats and dogs are some of the best creatures on earth. That’s a statement that, even in these incredibly polarized and divisive times, is likely to get near 100 percent agreement. Who is going to say otherwise, and more importantly, how could you ever present a compelling argument to support the opposing viewpoint?

Now, the real challenge and debate begin when people try to decide which makes the better pet: a dog or a cat. Of course, this is likely to be a topic that has no answer. Most people are firmly in either one of the two camps, and no amount of discussion is likely to change their minds.

Regardless of how you feel about cats or dogs, animals are like humans in that they are creatures of habit. They also have habits and routines, and when those are disrupted, they can get a bit upset and act out. In a clip posted on YouTube, one man explains his four-legged friend’s morning routine, which is incredibly cute and endearing.

“She kneads on my stomach every morning, and she likes to do this in complete silence,” the adorable cat’s owner says.

He also adds how the feline will react if he attempts to talk to the animal or anyone else while it’s going through its morning routine.

“Every time I try to speak to her or somebody else, she’ll reach up with her paw and shush me,” he added. “She’s very vocal about wanting that time to be quiet.”

Anyone who has ever had a cat will completely understand and recognize this behavior.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This cat loves climbing, and apparently, also enjoys stealing. The feline, who has a fascination with getting to and being in elevated places, hilariously harbors more nefarious interests. Watch this short but hysterical clip to see how this cat combines two of its biggest interests.

Is there anyone who does not love animals? If there are, they probably won’t voice that opinion publicly. But seriously, how could you not love and appreciate those cute, furry and four-legged creatures? Most of them, especially dogs and cats, just want a little bit of love and attention. Do that, and you’ll have a friend for life.

Now, as you may know, when it comes to pets, many people divide themselves into one of two camps. People either consider themselves dog or cat people, and there is minimal, if any, crossover between them. Then, after selecting your camp, you must endlessly and loudly advocate for why one is better than the other, or something like that.

Those who prefer cats understand that felines are all different, but also alike in many ways. For instance, they cannot be told what to do because they are some of the strongest-willed creatures on Earth. They will only do what they want when they want. They are also some of the funniest creatures, with their own unique personalities.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple discovered that their cat, Percy, enjoyed climbing. So, to give the cat an extra thrill, they installed an obstacle course in their house. But after the cat reached higher, elevated areas in their home, they learned that their cat also had a penchant for thievery.  Any chance it got to swipe a hat, the cat would do it.

“Did we make a horrible mistake?” one of Percy’s owners hilariously asked.

To try to curtail Percy’s hat snatching, they got him one of his own, thinking that might help. Percy didn’t seem to be into wearing a hat.

“He’s like a little troll that hoards hats,” another of Percy’s owners said.

This eating challenge was supposed to be a competition, but it was anything but. The woman created an event intended to show who was the quickest and most efficient eater between her and her golden retriever. Watch the short, but sweet and hilarious clip to see how the challenge went and who came out on top.

ESPN bills itself as being the worldwide leader in sports coverage. For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, that channel and its many others show nothing but sports-related content. Some may argue that having 24-hour channels of anything is a bad idea because then they stretch themselves to fill airtime. Anything and everything becomes a hotly debated topic and is eventually talked about to death.

While ESPN may say it is the worldwide leader in sports coverage, some may dispute that claim. I know I’ve personally seen billiards, poker, and other events that some would likely question as legitimate sports. Additionally, ESPN also broadcasts eating competitions, such as the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Eating a hot dog is certainly not a sport. If that were the case, every American would be an athlete, and we know that is not true.

Anyway, a woman challenged her golden retriever to a food-eating contest, as the clip posted on YouTube shows. The pup was obviously eager and ready to go and even got a head start on the competition, gobbling up the first morsel set in front of it before it was go-time.

However, in the end, while it was a challenge, there was no competition. The dog came out on top easily and even helped her finish off some of her pieces of food. When it comes to animals and food, humans really don’t stand a chance. We are likely to lose every time.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

The neighborhood I live in has many deer, and they are incredibly nonplussed by humans or our pets. One morning a couple fawns saw my cat Ganesha and bounced toward him to play...but he came running back to me yelling about how these big cats were in his yard.

Sammy has a bit of a story... He is a California Desert tortoise. They are an endangered species, so he's licensed by Fish and Wildlife. He actually wears a license plate. He came from our local university, CSUB. They had a habitat for the students. I adopted him from the California Turtle and Tortoise Club (CTTC) in 2010. They said he lived there since the late 1970s and was brought at breeding age... so he was at least 20 years old when they got him. He has some shell damage... it looks like he had been chewed on a bit... I imagine that's why they had him.

My dog, Lily, walked up to me while I was looking at my baby move in my belly. My cat, Lucy, was already on my lap when Lily rested her head on my belly. Lily reacted with some wide expressions as she could feel my baby move, looking back and forth between me and Lucy. Meanwhile, Lucy was half asleep, zoned-out, and looked like she couldn’t care less.

I had just finished my laundry at Fiesta, off Merrimon Ave, and was driving slowly out the back parking lot. I noticed this stoic gobble of turkeys just hanging out like it was their lot, their cars...no big deal.
