This cute TikTok is sure to get most people to smile: a cat decided to introduce her kitten to her owner's baby. The cat, a two-year-old ragdoll, places her kitten next to the baby as if to show it off. Her owner playfully asks why and gives the cat a voice, responding that it's so they can play together. The whole thing is adorable and worth a watch.
There are so many cute cat scratching posts around today that it's hard to not buy them all. My favorite deal on a cat scratcher was when we used our flu shot gift cards from Target on one last year! It was a Halloween house and very cute. I also love the houses that Aldi sells for Halloween and Christmas, although they always sell out so fast.
Servals are gorgeous creatures. I'd love to see one of these majestic wild cats, but I don't think I'd like waking up to one very much. That's what happened to an Atlanta woman whose husband got out of bed, let the dog out and somehow let a wild cat into their house. She woke up to the cat in bed with her!
If there's anything I've learned from both toddlers and finicky felines, it's that the expensive gadgets we buy mean much less to them than the packages they come in. Cardboard boxes, pipe cleaners... these are the things that keep my cats happy. In fact, I often find a bunch of pipe cleaners curled up around the house after a cat or two drug them out of a supply closet somewhere!
No, this isn't more programming FOR cats designed to make them leap at your TV screen, but programming inspired by cats and dogs. Netflix says that after such a hard period in history, focusing on animals will provide some much-needed, light-hearted fun for viewers. That may be very true; I haven't watched much heavy content since Covid began.
The story is a bittersweet one: a dead kitten was found in a yard in the UK, prompting a cat rescue to go searching for the rest of its litter. While a mama cat was discovered, no litter could be seen--until said mama climbed a tree and led them to her litter inside a bird's nest!
As cat people, we already know how weird we are. You don't have to tell us. We do things like get fake plants and fake mice for our cats to terrorize, let our feline friends tear up our homes in the name of their killer instincts (not to mention our own entertainment) and even make tunnels through our walls for our cats. Yes, we're weird.
The whole idea that dogs love their owners while cats merely tolerate them has always smelled of baloney to me. I've had cats that were so affectionate they were my best friends. While I do know some cats who merely tolerate humans, the majority of cats that I've had over the years have been incredibly loving and I don't need anyone to tell me how I know. Their snuggles, purrs, and companionship told me everything. My best friend, a cat who died two years ago, would snuggle me every time I was in pain, laying against the spot that hurt.
There's been a recall of Meow Mix Original Choice Dry Cat Food sold in select Wal-Mart stores due to a possible salmonella contamination. The 30-pound bags of food were sold in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming in more than 1,100 stores and could pose a harmful risk to cats.
There is a TikTok that makes fun of Millennials who mock it, saying that they'd never use that Vines knockoff followed by an image of said Millennial cracking up over TikTok months later in quarantine. Yep, that sums up me! I never thought I'd go for it, either, but do you know how many fun animal videos are there, among other niches?
