Watch These Tiny Kittens Wrestling Huge Dogs — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:00:42 +0000

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more hereâ€”the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing. And [...]

Watch These Cats Running Into Things — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:00:04 +0000

[onescreen item="5031866"] Cats vs. mirrors: the battle rages on. We suppose it could be confusing, but a lot of these cats are grown-up catsâ€”by now you’d think they’d recognize that other cat who keeps doing the making the exact same movements they’re making. As for the kittens, it’s just a part of growing up. Cherish [...]

Daily Distraction — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:00:24 +0000

[onescreen item="5026379"] If you’ve ever tried to give a cat a bathâ€”or even just bring the cat anywhere near a bathtubâ€”then you know how these people feel. And it’s not only our feline friends who loathe the idea of getting dunked into soapy water. RatherÂ than willingly submit to the utter torture of bath time,Â quite a [...]

Internet Unsurprisingly Chooses Cat For Newest Monopoly Piece

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:47:08 +0000

The public has spoken and Monopoly will cast away the boring old iron token, a symbol of domestic housework from a simpler time (it's not even an electric iron), which has been included in the board game for almost 80 years.

In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

Dog Person or Cat Person? [POLL]

Jeff Easterling — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:18:10 +0000

I was once told there are Elvis people, and there are Beatle people… you can like both, but you know that you like one more than the other… same with Cats and Dogs. So, just curious of the listening audience and would like to do a quick poll…

A Video Collection of Cats Licking Boyfriends — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:00:39 +0000

[onescreen item="5005850"] Not their boyfriends, of course. Cats have an instinct to clean. They spend up to 15 percent of their day grooming themselves. So maybe it’s not that weird to expect a cat to do the same for a nearby human. Most of us shower merely once a dayâ€”we must be plain filthy in [...]

Donald Deane — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:08:09 +0000

Cats and Dogs Being Best Buds — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:00:03 +0000

[onescreen item="4988579"] Historic enemies, cats and dogs have, in the YouTube era, been caught in the act … of friendship. While no doubt these 42 seconds represent the less frequent side of their relationship, it’s rather heartwarming to see these two species, fiercely antagonistic in our collective imagination, getting along so well. The Daily DistractionÂ is [...]

Kitty With Magnetic Collar Is Accidental Cat Burglar

Emerald Catron — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:20:30 +0000

Milo is undoubtedly the world's cutest thief. Her whiskers. Her paws. Her prancing about the neighborhood, going into random houses willy-nilly and accidentally stealing a bunch of stuff. Adorable. Unless of course you're the owner of one of the 20 sets of keys she's stolen over the past week.

Where Will Your Pets be This Holiday Season?

Mimi — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:00:03 +0000

Where will your pets be sleeping this holiday season? Chances are they will be somewhere warm and comfy, smelling the wonderful odors of a Thanksgiving dinner. The animals at the Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana will not have that same type of enjoyment. In years past, before my dog rescue got so big, [...]

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:00:54 +0000

Cat and dog lovers alike will be grinning after this one, in which Buster busts out some MacGyver moves on a sliding door to help his puppy friends get back into the house. Sorry, rescue dogs: it’s looking like cats’ survival skills might put yours to shame. Meanwhile, anyone who claims that felines are distant, [...]

Looking at Kitty and Puppy Photos All Day Actually Boosts Productivity

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:53:12 +0000

If there is one thing that all of the internet can agree on, it’s that pictures and videos of kittens and puppiesÂ are the tops. Now, thanks to researchers at Japan’sÂ Hiroshima University, you have even more reason to search the Web for suchÂ adorableness when you are at work. The scientists conducted anÂ experimentÂ in which 50 students were [...]

Baby Monkey And The Most Patient Cat Ever Are Adorable Playmates

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:15:48 +0000

APEril is a six-month-old white handed gibbon ape. Up Chuck is a middle-aged cat. They both live at the Monkey Island Rescue animal sanctuary and, as you can see in this adorable video, they are playmates.

Mimi's Stay-cation of Fun

Mimi — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:18:50 +0000

Sometimes a vacation is more work than fun when you have to do a bunch of planning. It is a lot of work for me because I have so many animals to make arrangements for. The thought of a "staycation" really sounded good. Especially when I realized I had a bunch of time to use or lose before the end of the year.

I have a goal to downsize, organize, simplify my life by 2012 so staying home for a week sounded like a good plan. I probably would have been much further along in my plans had I not gotten sick on the very first day of my staycation. What luck!
