Lickstown, USA, Population 1 Dog, 2 Cats

Via Jezebel:

An adorable video with an even cuter backstory: The puppy, Lucky, was adopted at three weeks old from a woman using him in a scam and the owner's two cats raised him as if he were their kitten.

My favorite part is when the guy in the accompanying song is talking about how he's been "hittin' the beer" and the dog is looking lovingly at the camera.

Catmoms are So Nice

Dogmoms too. Most moms, really. This catmom adopted a baby bunneh.

Release the Kraken!

PIGLET VS. DOG

EPIC BATTLE!

FEEEEEEEEEEEED UUUUUUUUS!

Say these kittens. Endlessly.

Lost in Translation

I so wish I had a Droid so I could get this new Google animal translation app.

They explain how the algorithms work in a cute video:



Update: April Fools, suckaz!

You're Getting Sleeeeeepy

Apparently one can put a chicken to sleep by tucking its head under its wing and moving it in a circle. Martha Stewart demonstrates this trickery (more like chick-ery, am I right?!!!!!!!) (HEY O!).

I wonder if other animals have secret weaknesses like this. Lift a piglet's leg for 3 seconds and it will blow raspberries! Scratch the left hind quarter of a rabbit and it will sneeze!

Twinkly Music WIN

Please please please watch this with your sound on.

This poor cat Nosey is having some trouble with a festive red balloon. In the spirit of honesty I feel I should tell you this is a reenactment, but this did happen naturally the first time. And it is priceless.

Bunn-dana

This is a CRAZY TINY bunny. It eats a flower and then does a SUPER CUTE thing at the end of the video.

What would be the funniest thing to see this bunny wearing? Here are some ideas I had:

- Overalls
- Mustache!
- Fez
- BANDANA (around neck)

Man, bandanas make any animal so much cuter. Yet they have the opposite effect when worn by humans. Curious indeed.

Seagull Maniac

This video is exactly what you hope you'll get from a video titled "Seagull Maniac". I recommend watching the whole way through. It turns not-funny and then funny again like ten times over the course of the video.

Chit-Chat (<--FRENCH PUN)

Some cats are so talkative that the best way to keep your sanity is to pretend you're having a conversation with them. My cat Ruby has great comic timing. This cat's not bad either.

Whippets Always Look Afraid

Even as he/she makes fun of this baby, this whippet looks like it's scared it's going to get in trouble.

Happy as a Lamb

Today's Big Thing's Cute Animals section is my new favorite treasure trove. They're doing what the Snuggle Factory does so much better that I almost feel like I should give up. But then where would people find pencil drawings of pigeons eating cake, or whatever dumb thing I draw next?

Here is an amazing video of a lamb named Bea bouncing around a house. My aunt and uncle have a farm in Washington state and whenever one of their sheep has lambs they have to take them in to nurse them. I guess mama sheep aren't so good about caring for their little ones. Anyway, my aunt was just complaining to me about having to get up in the middle of the night to feed TWIN LAMBS. TWIN TINY LAMBS! That is my dream.

I'm Back and I'm Making Up for It

WITH SO MANY POSTS!

Sorry dudes. It's been a busy few months for me at work. But I'm ready to get back in my groove.

This cat likes having its hind quarters scratched.

This Cat Doesn't Know How It's Done

But it's ok. He just drinks water from the faucet his own way. He's like "Whateva, whateva, I do what I want!"

Thanks to my Dad for sending me this vid!

Put on a Happy Face

This Japanese dog smiles. Like, LEGIT smiles.



So good.

Domin-OMG

I present to you a Japanese game show in which people coax different animals (including an anteater, who are my FAVES!) through a walkway surrounded on both sides by precarious dominoes. SUSPENSEFUL and exciting. But not really fair to the tortoise, since he's so big. They should have given him more room to maneuver.

Best parts:
- When they lift up the wall to reveal the animal.
- The armadillo's freaky right claw/foot/toe/whatever.
- The armadillo replay.
- Lullaby music and snoozy speech bubble for the anteater.

PuppyCam is Back!

THE SHIBA INU PUPPY CAM IS BACK!

LIVE STREAMING PUPPIES!

Thanks to Zara for the tip. Ever vigilant, ever true.

Silly Kittens

Guys, you're supposed to go DOWN a slide, not up. Yeah. It's OK. It's kind of confusing.

(It's not, really. But they're kittens, so they get a pass.)

Happy New Year, Squirrell Monkeys

The Bronx Zoo gave these little fellas some blueberries wrapped in blue Jell-o. They'd never had it before and they were FREAKIN' OUT!

Roomba Smackdown

This strikingly beautiful cat is a bit of a prima donna. Its housemate, an argyle besweatered dog, doesn't seem too miffed about it though.
