Pets

It’s hard to be a puppy. All that cuteness and people always cooing “awwww!” at you and having little puppy paws that make many folks just want to eat you up. Sometimes you simply have to take a nap to escape it all. So you cuddle into a warm lap, and what happens? You get the hiccups. And then your humans think you’re even more adorable, so they grab a camera and film the whole thing and put it o

Ever wonder what a dog would say if it could speak? Turns out, it’s nothing less than what you’d expect from man’s best friend.

This possibly titanium-clawed feline scales right up a kitchen wall while in pursuit of an elusive laser pointer. Then, as if to proof its amazing climbing abilities weren’t just some fluke of adrenaline, the cat holds on, five feet high, for a good three seconds. Check out spider cat below.

It’s impossible to not find kittens super adorable. Even alpacas are impervious to their cuteness. This alpaca wants to show its affection for this little bundle of fur by nudging it around with its nose and possibly asking it out on a date.

In the clip below, a little fuzzy duckling has an unlikely nosh: a large pizza. If this video makes you go, “Mmm, duck pizza,” you’re not alone: The YouTuber who posted the recording of his pet going to town on a loaded Pizza Hut pie actually disabled all YouTube comments “due to sick idiots that want to eat him.”

Cats and dogs may be natural enemies — but given the right critters with the right temperaments, they can also be the best of friends. These two adorable buddies prove they’re species-blind as they romp and play, and the kitty seems completely undaunted to be engaging in horseplay with a competitor well above his weight class.

One pooch recently proved he’s alpha dog material by driving away a shark in the waters near One Arm Point, a remote community in western Australia. Good boy! In a YouTube video featured on ‘Today,’ the dog can be seen paddling contentedly through the ocean while two sharks lurk beneath the surf. It’s difficult to gauge the size of the fish, but they certainly appear to be large. The dog showed no

When Eric Knight adopted his Chihuahua, Paco, from a shelter five years ago, he had no idea the pint-sized canine led a double-life as a superhero. Two armed robbers who recently tried to shake down Knight’s cigar store in Altadena, California found out the hard way. They got far enough in the heist that the store owner was stuffing cash into a backpack — and that’s when Paco emerged, full of aggr

Even if it's raining cats and dogs, don't expect the same reaction from everyone. According to data from Hunch collected in an infographic by Column Five Media, cat people tend to be urban dwellers, prefer petsitting over babysitting, and value ironic humor, while dog lovers are more likely to have kids, be outdoorsy people, and name Paul as their favorite Beatle.

As Della Reese once said in the 1996 Martin Lawrence classic of the same name, “It’s a thin line between love and hate.” Mackie the Boston Terrier clearly has some strong feeling about being tickled, but whether “Please sir, may I have another?” or “If you touch me again, I’m going to explode” is up for interpretation. Either way, it manifests itself with a series of delightful facial expressions

A proposal to ban all pets sales in San Francisco is being considered by the city’s Board of Supervisors. According to those who have proposed the ban, the rational behind it is twofold. It would encourage San Franciscans to adopt animals from shelters and rescue organization, and it would put an end to what animal rights activists claim are inhumane conditions in puppy mills and kitten factories

If you’re one of those annoying people who walks a dog and doesn’t clean up after him, your days of anonymity may soon be over.
