Teenager Protects a Cockatiel from Her Uncle’s Rude Behavior
As a pet parent, part of your duty is to protect your beloved pets from danger. You need to ensure their safety, whether the harm is at home or outdoors.

And if that kind of person has access to your house, pets can be disturbed. It’ll be up to you to take a stand and give your pet the protection it needs. Photo: PxHere/Ivan Sitnikov When a...
A Woman Claims to Be the Owner of a Missing Cat, But Cat’s New Family Is Wary
It’s saddening to know that some stray cats are left in the streets even before their owners give them identification. Finding their home is difficult if there is no collar or microchip. Sometimes they are just left neglected in the streets — hoping that a caring human notices them. Sadly, those cats often find themselves stuck in areas where humans cannot see them. It’s a hard life in the streets for a cat with no identity. Photo: Unsplash/Manuel Rheinschmidt Such cases are often caused by running away from home and owners...

Wetsuits Modeled After Otters? Yup!
A few years back, it was reported that MIT had begun working on wetsuits modeled after otters. It’s actually a brilliant idea if you think about it. The animals’ fur and the oil from their skin keep them relatively dry and remarkably warm in frigid temperatures. Surfers and divers could benefit greatly from the suits. After all, who wouldn’t want to be more comfortable while submerged in water? It’s also a better solution than peeing in your wetsuit, which is a common trick with surfers for a temporary blast of heat....

Highland Lynx Cat Refuses To Walk Through Mesh Screen So He “Bursts” Through It Instead
Cats are pretty interesting animals. They can be sly and sneaky, or loud and rambunctious. But beyond that, they also have their own unique personality traits and quirks.

Brewskie lives in West Hollywood, California with his brother, a 5-year-old rescue dog named Squink, and their owner, Rochelle Newman-Carrasco. Photos of the two are often shared on Instagram, but its...
Siberian Cat Is “Livid” As He Waits Next To His Bag Of Kibbles To Be Fed
Cats are not afraid to ask (ok, demand) what they want. Cats can definitely tell time. If you don’t think so, then you clearly don’t share a home with a feline. Cat parents have endless stories of ways their prince or princess shows they are annoyed at not getting what they want when they want it. Meet Nobu. He’s a Siberian cat that is going viral for giving his mom, Lindsay, the “death stare” when she is late feeding him. He is found perched on the counter next to his food bag and the look on his face says it...

Another family conflict, another pet caught in between. This time, we’ve got two dog parents arguing over who’s taking their dog out in the morning. It all came to a boil when one person ended up giving the other the silent treatment, and now one of them feels like an a-hole for refusing to walk their dog. PHOTO: Unsplash/Jordan Davis I cannot stress this enough, but owning a dog brings some added responsibilities in a person’s day-to-day life.
