In the caption of the post, the owner of the furbaby wrote, "Christmas hat for the boys! We love Christmas!" The Instagram video began with the cat owner bringing a new Christmas special hat for the "angry" cat, Sir Pounce. In the meantime, the text written over the clip read, "Owning an angry cat.. w/ a new hat." As the video continued, viewers could see the pet parent trying to put the hat on the cat's head. However, as expected, the furbaby was not having it. He quite evidently did not want to wear the new hat. The feline even tried to give his owner little bites. However, he finally…...

36+ min ago (120+ words) The writer Warren Ellis wrote a blog post years back about his cat dying, and I'd like to send it to my friend.Ellis has since been outed as a Sexual predator and his blog archives are now gone. The post was called "Anton", and it just perfectly captures the joy of having a pet, and the heartbreak of losing them. My friend just lost their cat and I would like to give them a copy, but I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas as to how I could find it? My archive.org skills are pretty poor. Should I just give up and find something not written by a monster person? Help me find this questionably authored cat eulogy?...

36+ min ago (250+ words) Pets often have a reputation for taking a backseat when it comes to household chores. Amid this, one cat is breaking the stereotype, making sure to provide proper supervision as his owner does the laundry. In a video shared by @hellomochicito on Instagram, a cute cat is seen "micromanaging" the owner as he tries to do laundry. The clip begins with the man loading clothes into the washing machine, while his feline quickly approaches to check if he's doing everything correctly. The kitty doesn't stop there. He even climbs into the washing machine, tossing some clothes out. The man asks the cat, "Are you done?" The feline quickly jumps out of the machine and curls up in the laundry basket, as if making sure everything is in order. Meanwhile, the man doesn't look bewildered, as if this is just part…...

At 08:00 GMT on Monday, staff at the RSPCA site in Bawtry found a dog carrier with three female and one male terrier-cross pups, aged about eight weeks. On 15 November, seven youngsters were found in a crate during a storm at the same spot. Branch manager Daniel Cartwright said: "It is so sad to think that someone has just discarded these pups. They were in cramped conditions in this carrier and were quite frightened and they smelt of urine so it appears they have been kept in dirty conditions." The RSPCA said the pups - now named Sunny, Rain, Drizzle and Puddle - appeared timid and were all in need of a bath but were thought to be…...

Nala the cat passed away at the age of six, with his owner, Natasha, writing she was "devastated" at the loss of a family member. In 2023, Metro travelled to Stevenage to meet Nala and speak to the businesses inside the station, who were happy to provide a warm corner for him to nap in. One of his favourite places to lie down for a rest was on a pile of Metro newspapers in the station, making us here at the paper even bigger fans. Nala"s disarming face and purrs made even the most dog-loving commuters stop to pat him on the head. Throughout his time as honorary station cat, he gained 40,000 followers, many of whom…...

He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake; And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake." Thus goes T.S. Eliot's famous poem on his beloved feline: the domestic cat. But when, and from where, did these creatures come to colonise the world and enter Eliot's poetic imagination in London? A new Sciencepaper dug deep into the historical movements of the mystery cat and found that the domestic cat (Felis catus) originated from the African wildcat (Felis lybica lybica) and quickly spread, most likely by ship, across the globe just 2,000 years ago. Researchers…...

And while adoption and fostering are essential parts of the nonprofit's mission, its work and outreach have had a much broader impact as it has evolved to meet the needs of local animals and, in some cases, the humans who love them. CAA was founded in 2010 and began operating as the official open-intake animal shelter for East Baton Rouge Parish the following year, splitting off from the city-parish animal control department in an effort to increase the save rate of animals in the community. Though not technically a no-kill shelter, CAA has vastly improved outcomes for lost, surrendered, abandoned or stray animals in the parish. Before its launch, roughly 80% of the animals in the parish…...
