There are a few things the internet is indisputably for, and one of them is getting to see cute puppies wearing costumes because it will just instantly brighten your day.

TikTok user @happiestlabrador is an AKC registered breeder of beautiful Labrador Retrievers. Recently, they had the brilliant idea to dress up one of their bouncing litter of puppies as bumblebees. The results are sweeter than honey and got the internet buzzing about the inarguable cuteness.

The video obviously went viral, and has been viewed over 1.2 million times so far on TikTok alone. It generated almost a thousand comments, with people gushing over the cuteness on their screens.

"What an adorable swarm of labumbledors! 🥰"

"Another day of saving the beeeees🥰"

"😭 I was not prepared for an entire swarm of Labrabees!"

Do Dogs Like Wearing Clothes?

We honestly have no real way of knowing whether not our pets "like" being dressed up and wearing clothes. It's ultimately determined by knowing your pet and observing their behaviors and reactions to decipher whether or not they like their fancy outfits.

Some signs your dog likes the outfits you've gotten them:

• They wag their tails or seem excited when you get the clothes out
• They cooperate when you're putting the various items on them
• The outfits don't appear to bother them and they're calm while dressed up

Ultimately, it's always best to pay attention to your dog and follow their lead. If they're uncomfortable or distressed while dressed up, it's probably not for them. While they may not be able to give you definitive "paws up" about their feelings, paying attention to them will be your best friend.

And if they are cool with a costume, you might just find yourself on the receiving end of some superb cuteness!

Pudgy puppies are the absolute best part of summer. But what's better? Pudgy puppies who have been wrangled into life jackets and are about to go swimming.

TikTok user @debbieslabradors frequently takes to social media to share the adorable antics of the puppies they breed and raise. Recently, they share an aboslutely adorable Chocolate Lab who was ready for his first swimming lesson.

Fair Warning: He just might be the next Michael Phelps.

Teaching Your Dog to Swim

All joking aside, if you have access to water making sure your dog is safe around it is imperative for their safety. While not all dogs may end up loving the water, making sure they can take care of themselves and survive were they to fall in or find themselves in a body of water is a great skill to teach your beloved pet.

Teaching a dog to swim requires patience, positive reinforcement, and a few tips and tricks. Never just throw your dog into the water—that's incredibly unsafe. Instead, guiding them with treats and going slow and steady does the trick.

Some things that can help your pup learn to be confident around the water:

• Equipping them with a properly fitting life vest/jacket
• Wading in the water with them while they're still learning
• Always starting in the shallower ends where it's easy for them to get out
• Rewarding them for little actions like getting their paws wet
• Keeping your "swim lessons" on the shorter side
• Always making sure to have treats on hand for a good swim

Making sure you're teaching your dog to swim carefully and methodically sets them up for a lifetime of success as a swimmer. And who knows! Maybe you'll just have the next Canine Olympian on your hands!

Every cat parent has a story to share. Maybe your cat insists on sleeping inside the bathroom sink. Or they claim the laptop a few minutes before your Zoom meeting. Or they manage to fold into a shoebox that is clearly too small.

Well, your cat's funniest habit might deserve an award. Those wonderfully odd habits are exactly what Merrick Purrfect Bistro wants to celebrate with the first-ever Purrfect Choice Awards.

The lighthearted competition honors the quirks that make cats unique, and cat parents can nominate their felines across six categories: Purrfectly Playful, Best Cat Space, Best Cat Napper, Conversation Companion, Work from Home Boss and Foodie of the Year.

Nominations close July 5 at purrfectbistro.com/awards, and one category is already pulling ahead of the pack.

Napping, It Turns Out, Is Competitive

"Best Cat Napper is shaping up to be one of the most competitive categories," says Meg Turner, senior brand manager at Merrick Pet Care. According to Turner, submissions are arriving with incredibly creative napping positions, from cats caught mid-stretch to cats claiming spaces that were clearly never meant to be a bed.

Content creator Wendy Ly hosts the show. When asked which of Wendy's cats she could nominate, Turner tells Parade Pets Ly would likely put forward her cat Candi for Best Cat Napper, "since she's always making use of any space she can find." Her other cat, Howl, would go up for Foodie of the Year, because, in Turner's words, "he loves food and knows exactly what he likes."

Every Cat Has Something Worth Celebrating

There are no breed or age limitations during the nomination process. Turner said that was intentional. In her words, every cat brings something different to their category regardless of pedigree or years, which is the entire premise of the awards.

The judging panel, made up of representatives from the extended Merrick brand team, will review submissions based on category fit, creativity, originality, and personality to select finalists, who will be announced July 13.

From there, the public votes on category winners through July 31. The ceremony streams live on Wendy Ly's YouTube channel on August 8, which is International Cat Day, at 2 p.m. EDT.

What Can You Win?

Here is the fun part. Every cat wins. With every nomination, cat parents receive a coupon for a free package of Merrick Purrfect Bistro wet food or treats.

Category winners take home a trophy, a month's supply of food, and a curated Bistro Box. The grand prize winner, chosen by Merrick, will get a Best in Show trophy, six months of food, and a personalized multi-story cat house.

So, if your cat has a nap spot that stops you in your tracks, July 5 is the deadline to prove it.

Golden Retrievers have a remarkable way of making every new family member feel like they've always belonged, and even strangers they’ve never met before feel that magic from this beautiful dog breed. From the very beginning, Goldens seem eager to be part of every milestone, especially when it means welcoming a tiny new best friend.

In this video, we meet a proud Golden Retriever who's so happy that he matches his brand-new human brother. Standing by his side, he could not be a prouder big brother, happy to have his new baby by his side. The adorable twinning moment feels like the start of a lifelong friendship. Take a look!

Shared by TikToker @agoldendogmom, the video is of a beautiful Golden Retriever named Cosmo greeting his mom in the driveway outside their home. The two were about to head out for a walk, but they had a special guest with them. Cosmo's a new big brother, and his little human brother, still a very fresh newborn, just so happens to look a lot like him. 

As his mom tells the camera how protective Cosmo was of his little brother right from the start, the proud look on his face is the cutest in the world. He's such a proud brother, and he loves that baby very much!

One person wrote, "Maybe the baby was a Golden in a past life. Congratulations to your family!" 

Another shared, "Congratulations on the arrival of Conrad. This video is hilarious. Cosmo & Conrad!"

Someone else added, "I have a matching set of gingers as well! One 5-year-old Golden and one 8-month-old baby!"

Other comments included, "That's his baby," "OMG, I had no idea you had a little boy! Congrats," "He Bluetooth synced himself to the baby," "Cosmo just looks so cute," "But he doesn't have the floof like Cosmo," and "Adorable."

How To Safely Introduce a New Baby to the Family Dog According to Experts

Cosmo is such a proud big brother to his human newborn sibling, and it's clear they're going to become the best of friends. If you're having a new baby and need tips on safely introducing the infant to the family dog, the experts say there are important steps to take. 

According to the Toronto Humane Society, preparing your dog to meet a newborn baby starts before the baby is born. They note that about four months before a new baby is set to arrive, that's when dog parents should begin the introduction, starting with letting the pooch investigate the baby room, smell fresh diapers, baby lotions, and watching baby crying videos on YouTube to get them used to some of the new sounds they'll be hearing. 

One or two months before the baby's set to come home is the best time to make any big moves that might affect the dog's typical routine. If you need to walk your dog earlier or later, start shifting that schedule now. If you need to move the pup's bed to a new spot in the house, this is when to do that, too. That way, when the baby comes, their routine will generally be the new normal for them. 

The Toronto Humane Society suggests that when your baby comes home, be prepared for your dog to greet you with enthusiasm, and anticipate how to handle that beforehand. When things have calmed, allow your pup to see and hear your baby, with someone else there to lend a hand, and watch their body language closely. Don't allow your pup unsupervised access to your baby, and be sure to provide plenty of opportunities for positive associations.

"It is important that when children grow older, they learn to recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress that a dog may display," the Toronto Humane Society explains. 

If you run into any struggles, always err on the side of safety and don't hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian or a canine behavior consultant.

Every pet parent has seen it. Your dog suddenly disappears under the bed, squeezes behind the couch, or starts pacing the house.

That is the sight when the first boom of a Fourth of July firework starts. For many dogs, Fourth of July is not a celebration. It is survival.

This year, Blue Buffalo is taking an unusual approach to helping dogs by creating a different kind of fireworks show for them to enjoy.

Instead of focusing on people watching fireworks, the company created a five-hour dog-friendly fireworks show, available exclusively on its YouTube channel.

Why Are Dogs Afraid of Fireworks?

Yevhen Stienin / Unsplash

According to canine cognitive scientist Dr. Evan MacLean, who helped create the dog-friendly show, loud fireworks combine several things dogs naturally find unsettling: sudden explosive sounds, unpredictable timing, flashes of light, and vibrations they can't control.

The goal for pet parents is to prevent stress from building in the first place, not to soothe dogs after they've already been frightened. Preventing stress starts earlier than many pet parents realize.

Timing Matters More Than You Think

Dr. MacLean tells Parade Pets that the earlier you can start preparing, the better. In an ideal world, pet parents should begin the calming routine before the first firework goes off.

Start by setting up the environment an hour or two in advance, closing the windows and curtains, and turning on calming background noise. This is where Blue Buffalo's dog-friendly fireworks show can help.

About 10 minutes before the fireworks go off, it is time for special enrichment activities, such as a food puzzle or a long-lasting chew. The goal is to have your pup engaged in something enjoyable when the fireworks begin.

A good idea is to freeze treats or food to make a dog popsicle. Blue Buffalo also offers a range of fresh stews to try.

The Only Fireworks Show Your Dog Should Watch

Blue Buffalo's video lasts five hours and includes everything dogs love. Featuring white-noise music in the background, the video shows treats, food, and balls moving constantly.

Dogs find moving elements soothing, and by combining the music with gentle petting, pet parents can help keep their dogs calm and relaxed.

How to Pet Your Dog for Soothing

Petting is part of the toolbox that helps pets relax during Independence Day celebrations. The technique matters, according to Dr. MacLean, who recommends slow, steady strokes along the chest, shoulders, or back rather than quick pats or an enthusiastic hug, which most dogs do not actually enjoy.

That kind of touch can trigger a release of oxytocin and lower cortisol, the stress hormone. Most importantly, allow your dog to guide you and decide how much contact they want. If they lean in, keep going. If they move away, let them.

The stress does not always end when the noise does. Some dogs stay anxious well after the last firework fades, so plan on a quiet decompression period afterward, with fresh water and a return to normal routine.

The first thing most people notice about Miniature Dachshunds is usually their size, but their beautiful, shiny coats deserve a little applause, too. Whether they're black and red, dapple, or cream, these dogs are always having a good hair day, especially the long-haired variety of the breed.

And then, there's this puppy, Butter. Not only is this tiny dog perfectly named for her golden yellow color, but her coat also makes her look like a "pocket sized Golden Retriever," as her human pointed out on TikTok.

Logically, I know that Miss Butter is a Dachshund, but if I didn't know any better, I'd think she was a Golden Retriever who got hit with a shrink ray. She really does look like a tiny version of the breed, down to those gloriously fluffy ears.

I can't get over the way she stares so intensely into the camera with one paw folded under the other. This lady is brand new to the world but already serving looks.

It makes sense that people in the comments are so obsessed with her, with one even calling her "a literal pocket full of sunshine." Her mom couldn't have picked a better song for this video than the Natasha Bedingfield tune!

How Big Do Miniature Dachshunds Get?

Of course, Butter looks extra tiny right now since she's a puppy, but that "pocket-sized Golden Retriever" look is here to stay. Miniature Dachshunds don't get very big, even when they're fully grown.

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Miniature Dachshunds weigh about 11 pounds or less — a significant difference from their standard counterparts, who weigh between 16-32 pounds as adults (and they're still considered to be pretty small dogs).

This means that they probably won't make the best guard dogs ever (since they don't exactly look intimidating), but you can trust that they will make plenty of noise when they sense an intruder is near — or when they're mildly inconvenienced. Either way, these dogs come with huge personalities.

Because of their small size, Miniature Dachshunds make great pets for those who live in apartments or small spaces. Just don't forget that they have plenty of energy and need their exercise.

Puppies are growing every week, so sleep is essential for healthy development. While these fluffy fur babies love to play and get into mischief, they spend most of the day napping and don't want to be disturbed until they're fully rested.

Ben is a rare Shar-Pei-Basset Hound mix puppy currently at the Cleft Rescue Unit, an organization dedicated to helping puppies with cleft palates and other craniofacial issues. The canine cutie was in deep REM sleep when someone interrupted his slumber. Ben's response spoke for itself.

@crurescue

Talk to the hand 😂 📣For those asking Ben is not ready for adoption yet and we will mot be reviewing his applications at this time. 💙Despite undergoing entropion surgery, he appears to have limited vision. We would like to determine whether additional surgical intervention may be necessary before considering adoption. Thank you for understanding!

♬ original sound - Cleft Rescue Unit

In the TikTok from @crurescue, Ben was snuggled on a bed and fast asleep. When someone approached him, he roused from his nap but was clearly not happy to be woken up. The pretty pooch placed his little paw over his eyes, basically saying "talk to the paw". In other words, Ben wanted to go back to sleep and be left alone.

The scene was even more comical coming from such an adorable potato of a puppy. Followers fell in love with the fur baby and got a kick out of his resistance to cut his nap short.

"I want to cuddle him so bad, I bet it’s better than snuggling a stuffie," one gushed.

"Ben said... Hold all my appointments today!" another pointed out.

"He said 'no photos please',” a follower noted.

"What a cute little man, he's like a big teddy bear... talk to the paw, human," someone remarked.

"I’m Ben’s lawyer and he does not have to get out of bed," a fan posted.

How Common Are Shar-Pei-Basset Mixes?

Shar-Pei-Basset Hounds — or "Ba-Shars" — are actually a rare type of hybrid that can be hard to find. These crossbreeds weigh between 40 to 65 pounds at adulthood and stand at approximately 13 to 20 inches.

Ba-Shars are highly intelligent, loyal, affectionate, and form strong bonds with family members. They can be independent, yet thrive on being with their loved ones.

And apparently, like Ben, they love a good nap.

CRU’s mission is to provide hope and healing to puppies and with cleft palates and craniofacial conditions. For more information on this organization, visit their website.

I don't know how kittens keep getting smaller, but apparently they do. Every time I think I've seen the tiniest kitten imaginable, another little fluffball comes along and makes me question whether it was actually shrunk in the washing machine. This sweet Persian baby is so unbelievably little that her family had to start shopping in the hamster aisle.

That's exactly what makes this adorable TikTok so irresistible. Instead of a regular cat bed, this tiny gray-and-white Persian kitten sleeps inside a plush strawberry hamster house, and somehow it fits her perfectly. It's almost too much cuteness for one video.

The adorable video was shared by @babycatt222 and the caption reads:

"She's so small we had to get her a hamster house."

The clip shows the fluffy little Persian kitten toddling over to a tiny fabric strawberry before climbing inside like it was custom-built just for her.

Once she's tucked inside, only her precious little face peeks out.

This would be the first one they'd sell.

• "Stop this is the cutest thing ever."
• "My kitten was so small we had to get her a Halloween costume made for lizards."
• "She became a strawberry kitty turtle."
• "She became a strawberry hamster house mermaid."
• "So tiny she isn't even an apple tall but a strawberry tall."
• "As snug as a kitten in a strawberry."
• "STOP SHE IS TOO ADORABLE."

Personally, "she isn't even an apple tall but a strawberry tall" deserves a Pulitzer Prize.

I've officially decided "strawberry tall" is my new favorite unit of measurement.

Very young or especially tiny kittens can have a harder time regulating their body temperature than adult cats, which is why warm, cozy resting spots are so important. Soft enclosed beds can help them feel secure while conserving body heat, especially during their earliest weeks.

Tiny kittens also benefit from regular meals, routine veterinary care and careful monitoring to make sure they're growing appropriately. While some kittens simply start life on the smaller side, many eventually catch up as they mature with proper nutrition and care.

Judging by this little fluffball ... She may be strawberry-sized today.

But I have a feeling she'll soon graduate to apple ...

... and eventually full-sized cat.

Dalmatians are so slept on. They appear a lot in cartoons, especially to accompany firefighters or evil women who want to turn them into coats, but when it comes to actually seeing a Dalmatian on the street, they're few and far between.

They're amazing, though. Recently, one Dalmatian became the mom to five little foster kittens, and there is no one better for the job. The best part is they really look like they could be her babies:

@mywildmeadows

hard to say who’s more excited about this arrangement, River or the fosters 😂 she really is the mom who stepped up! River steals all the foster kittens from me every time, they all are just obsessed with her, it’s so cute to see! #fosterkittens #rescuekittens #graykitten #adoptivemom #dogandcat

♬ evening breeze calm (Acoustic) - Husein

River the Dalmatian is so nice to these kittens, and it warms my heart so much! She knows they need her, and she's always willing to make sure they get what they need. Someone in the comments pointed out that black and white makes grey!

According to a second comment, baby Dalmatians are actually born grey, and they just bark funny. That must obviously be what's going on here; they're definitely not kittens... She seems to think they're legitimately her babies, anyway.

They've been fostering kittens and other animals for a long time, so River knows how this goes. She takes care of the babies until they're old enough to go on to loving homes, and then the next batch of babies comes. Her mom let everyone know where she stands:

@mywildmeadows

The truth is, River is like this with every foster I bring home! (And for one, we already have 2 foster fails) But she loves them all equally. The kittens, the puppies, the shy ones, the confident ones, the ones who stay for weeks & the ones who only stay for a few days, but that's what's so great about her helping me foster them. She gets to socialize them, show them love, and help them grow into the pets their future families will fall in love with (not that they need much help with that! Then, when it's time, we let them go to their new homes and make room for the next one! River would probably keep every foster if she could. But because we don't, we've been able to help so many more 💛 #fostering #dogsandcats #fosterpuppy #fosterkittens #dalmatian

♬ Orbiter - Noah Kahan

I love this. Personally, I will never ask a pet foster parent if they're going to keep their fosters: they shouldn't! Passing on the animals gives them a chance at living a good life, and then more pets get that chance in your home. Keeping them all means losing good foster homes.

Why Don't Foster Homes 'Foster Fail' Pets?

Most of the time, foster homes do not foster fail their pets, even if they want to very badly. It's hard to say goodbye, of course, but it's worth it to know you get to continue to save lives!

May Achraf / Getty Images

Foster failing isn't a bad thing: if you love and really connect with a pet, you should keep them. However, passing them on ensures that:

• Your home stays open to future fosters.
• You can continue to help at-risk pets.
• Other people see pets they might otherwise have overlooked.

The whole point of fostering is to give all pets a fighting chance. Pets in foster homes are better-adjusted to life in a home, and that's what a lot of prospective adopters are looking for. Plus, in this case, the kittens have a chance to socialize with a dog!

Forget everything you think you know about the relationship between big dogs and cats. Duncan and his brand new kitten BFF are defying the odds.

This sweet Bernese Mountain Dog found a lost orange kitten, and after making his rescue, it looks like the kitten has officially found his new forever home. How could anyone separate these two after seeing how sweet they are together?

View this post on Instagram

On Tuesday, June 30, Duncan's humans shared a big family update on Instagram: A few days ago, he found a lost kitten at the park, and they've been inseparable ever since.

"Duncan has completely stolen our hearts with how sweet he's been," they wrote. "He's decided this kitten is his new best friend and has been the gentlest big brother."

The proof is all in this video, which shows the kitten snuggling up tight under Duncan's head. This dog is many times bigger than he is, but he seems to feel safe with him, which speaks volumes about what a sweetheart Duncan must be.

So far, it doesn't sound like the kitten has a name, but now that it's clear that no other family is looking for him, he is certainly settling in well at his new home. It's like these two were meant to find each other!

How to Safely Introduce a Big Dog to a Kitten

When it all goes right, the relationship between a big dog and a kitten is obviously adorable — look at Duncan and his kitten!

But not all big dogs will take to kittens (or even adult cats) right away, and it's important to be aware of how quickly the situation can escalate. Even the sweetest big dogs can easily overpower a brand new baby kitten without much effort.

To introduce a big dog to a kitten safely, the Animal Humane Society recommends:

• Keeping the animals separate for the first few days so they can get used to the big change (and the new smells)
• Start with short sessions where they are both in the same room
• Keep the dog leashed and close to you for early interactions with the kitten
• Offer the cat a dog-free room or area where they can go to escape if they're feeling scared or overwhelmed
• Take your time! The best friendships aren't built in a day.

It might take some time to get everyone comfortable with the new living situation, but it will be worth it when they're snuggling together like the besties you know they can be.

He asked one simple question. His mom had actual footage as proof. The footage told a story he wasn't fully prepared to know.

The text overlay sets up the whole situation: "Mom, what was I like when I was younger?" The caption delivers the verdict without any hesitation: "You were BAD TO THE BONE!!!!"

Meet the accused. He's a blue French Bulldog with giant bat ears, soulful eyes and a face that currently has the energy of a dog who has absolutely nothing to hide. He's absolutely wrong about that part. His mom has everything documented and she's not deleting any of it.

If the face looks familiar, that's because this is the same blue Frenchie who recently went adorably feral at a backyard foam rave with his face covered in bubbles and had the best day of his life. His wild child era has apparently never fully ended. It just evolved.

Mom’s receipts show a puppy who fought with blankets. Talked back-a lot. Aggressively loved on his people in ways that left no personal space at all. Played with ALL THE TOYS at once, which is honestly an impressive endeavor if he were also going to pick them up. He got into every possible situation that could be gotten into. And, was mischievous in the specific way only a French Bulldog puppy can pull off: chaotically, enthusiastically and with absolutely zero remorse.

He was by every piece of footage she still has, a certified wild child.

The comments wholeheartedly agreed:

"He's a wild child"

"He's a cool dude"

Related: Australian Shepherd Has Been Raising the Kids--the Second They're Gone She's Literally Smiling

And the comment that ties the whole arc together: "Absolutely the most certified wild child Frenchie ever! So cute. Reminds me of my Blouie."

Blouie's mom knows. She has her own receipts somewhere.

The wild child phase is more than real. The cool dude on the other side of it is also very real. The journey between them is what every Frenchie parent either has survived or is currently surviving right now. But here's the thing about a blue Frenchie puppy who fought blankets and talked back and played with every toy at once: that wasn't bad behavior. That was a French Bulldog doing exactly what French Bulldogs do. This little guy was just leaning all the way into who he wants to be.

Why French Bulldog Puppies Are Basically Tiny Chaos Machines

The Frenchie chaos isn't a malfunction. It's a feature. And according to Puppy Yoga Club, it comes factory installed.

Frenchie puppies arrive with a ton of personality and a surprisingly short battery life. According to Puppy Yoga Club, they run on short enthusiastic bursts of zoomies, intense curiosity and full-contact social energy followed by recovery naps that look almost dramatic given how small they are. They're not broken in the least. They're just recharging for the next round of chaos.

These puppies are people-centered from day one and want to be part of everything that's happening around them. FOMO is real. This is exactly why the blanket fighting and the aggressive loving and the all-toys-at-once situation makes complete sense. He wasn't just causing chaos for no reason. He was participating in life.

The play-crash cycle is the key to understanding the whole wild child phase. These puppies push hard, rest hard and then push again. They can get overstimulated more easily than they let on and will often try to keep up with the vibe and energy around them even when they’re already spent. They are, in fact, too legit to quit.

The good news is that this phase doesn't last forever. Puppy Yoga Club is clear that the environment built in those early weeks matters more than most people expect. Structured but gentle, social but not overwhelming and aware of their physical limits — that's what produces the calm confident adult on the other side of the receipts.

Adult French Bulldogs are affectionate, adaptable and genuinely easy to live with. The wild child settles. The cool dude emerges. The zoomies become occasional rather than a full-time personality trait.

He might be a cool dude now but his mom kept every single receipt anyway. That's just responsible documentation. You know, just in case, anyone ever asks.

The certified wild child era is officially on record. The cool dude era is very much in progress. Both versions are absolutely perfect.

The catio window is made of solid wood and acrylic, and designed to hold up to 55 pounds. It's 3-sided and a great way to let your cat safely get some fresh air.

"It's absolutely perfect," one happy buyer writes on Walmart's website.

"Cat heaven," says another. They add that their cats "love the open windows."

So far the catio window only has 24 ratings, but it's already gained a 4.1 out of 5-star overall review from those buyers.

"Super cute and my cats love it!" writes one happy buyer who left a 5-star review. They note that the instructions can be a bit difficult to follow at first, but it didn't take them too long to figure it out.

"Budget worthy," says another customer. "I was surprised at how easy the assembly was and how fast it was able to be put together."

"I absolutely love this for my senior cat," gushes a third person. "He loves it too."

Lovebirds are one of the most well-known birds in the world. Everyone knows about them, how sweet they are, and that humans are constantly trying to "replicate" the love they share! Everybody loves a Lovebird, if only for what they symbolize.

For me, though, it's their stunning feathers that are really slept on. Their messaging is certainly beautiful, but the birds themselves are absolutely breathtaking, especially when they look like tiny mangoes with wings:

Kevin the Lovebird loves his shower time, and I also love his shower time. He looks like a little mango all the time, but in the shower, he looks a little fuzzy! It reminds me of when people were making "mango pets" during the pandemic.

His showers are always supervised, and usually in his mom's hands: Lovebirds aren't very big. Leaving them alone in the shower could end badly, so she just lets him do his thing while she's nearby. What a good mama!

Kevin only showers every so often, though. Most of the time, his feathers are completely smooth, and that's when you can really see his impressive coloring. He's also learned how to throw treats to their dog, so they've become best friends:

For all my new followers who haven’t seen Kevin throwing cookies down for my dog, you should see it😂 #parrot #petsoftiktok #cuteanimals #foryou #fyp

I love that their mom doesn't stop it from happening. Siblings need to feel like they're getting away with stuff! It helps them bond! I would know. My sister and I scheme regularly.

Lovebirds Need Companionship

As their name might suggest, Lovebirds genuinely do not like to be lonely. While that typically means they live in pairs with another feathered friend, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

If you're going to have a single Lovebird for any reason, that means that you become their sole companion. They don't do well without interaction, but luckily, they're relatively easy to please. They like to:

• Fly around.
• Perch around the house.
• Talk to you.
• Listen to music.

Apparently, the right Lovebird will even enjoy tossing some treats to your dog! Maybe it's just me, but I think that's pretty awesome... Especially when he's so beautiful all on his own!

Maine Coon kittens are in pretty high demand, which makes total sense — have you seen how gorgeous they are? With those gorgeous coats, they're not only the largest breed of domestic cats, but they're also one of the prettiest, especially the kitten featured in the TikTok video below.

But heartbreakingly, she's having trouble finding a home, despite the fact that she has a very rare quality: true Lynx tip ears.

@prideofsandmead

It’s the lynx tips for me .. she is so affectionate & is looking for her furever home 🖤🙌🏽 #mainecoon #kitten #cat

♬ original sound - Teehayyz

In this video, United Kingdom based breeder @prideofsandmead showed off this kitten who is still looking for her forever family.

She has a beautiful tabby coat, the most striking eyes, and an affectionate personality, but what stands out about her most of all are those Lynx tips, or the little tufts sticking out of the tops of her ears.

While many Maine Coons have these tufts, not all of them are quite as pronounced as hers, which makes this little lady quite rare.

Kittens are often born with small tufts that really emerge later, but it looks like she's already got huge tips on her ears already. She must have been working hard at growing those!

She's gorgeous, so why hasn't she been snapped up already? It's a pretty surprising reason: She's a girl.

This Maine Coon Kitten's Only 'Flaw'? She's Not a Boy

The text on the video says it all: She's still available for adoption because everyone wants a male Maine Coon.

But what makes males more popular? Since their size happens to be the big draw for many people who are looking to adopt a Maine Coon, males are in higher demand because they will be bigger than female cats when they're fully grown — as Chewy points out, males will grow to weigh as much as 22 pounds.

Females may not get as big on average, but they will still end up being pretty larger than other domestic cats, and of course, size and gender are two pretty small factors when compared to just how much love and companionship these beautiful kitties have to offer.

This sweetheart deserves a loving home, and whoever ends up adopting her is going to be very lucky. She looks like she's ready to offer someone the best cuddles!

These vet-recommended calming wraps are designed to help calm anxious pups by applying gentle pressure around your dog's torso (similar to swaddling an infant.)

Buyers say the ThunderShirts work at keeping their dogs calmer and reducing anxiety. They also appreciate that it's easy to take on and off.

"I would give this 100 stars if I could..." writes one happy buyer. "The first day we used it, my dog — who normally took anywhere from 30-50 minutes to settle — only pawed at the door a few times after I left and fully settled within 20 minutes."

Another reviewer notes: "The snug, gentle pressure from the wrap-around design seems to have a soothing effect, similar to how weighted blankets work for people."

A third customer shares: "In previous years if we heard a firework she would not go outside to go potty. She will go out with her shirt on."

The Bottom Line

The ThunderShirt for Dogs may cost $39, even when marked down, but it's well worth the price if it gives your dog a calmer time during stressful events, like Fourth of July fireworks.

I don't know what I expected alpacas to do with a splash pad, but it definitely wasn't this. I figured they'd sniff it, maybe cautiously step around it, then wander off to eat some grass. Instead, one very confident alpaca named Joy treated it like she'd been waiting for this moment her entire life.

That's exactly what happens in this adorable clip below. The farm recently set up a splash pad for the herd during a stretch of warm weather, and while most of the alpacas weren't quite sure what to make of the strange new contraption, Joy wasted absolutely no time claiming it as her own personal water park. My cats would never.

@eagleeyefarm

We’ve been having some warm weather here at the farm ☀️💦 which means… it’s officially splash pad season! And Joy? She decided it belonged entirely to her 😂🦙 ➡️Make sure you're following us for more farm content! Every single like, share, and comment helps the farm and all the animals. #splashpad #alpacas #alpaca #farmlife #cuteanimals #animallovers

The hilarious clip was shared by the TikTok from @eagleeyefarm and the caption reads:

"We've been having some warm weather here at the farm which means ... it's officially splash pad season! And Joy? She decided it belonged entirely to her."

At first, the fluffy alpacas cautiously approach the splash pad, sniffing it suspiciously like they're trying to decide whether it's friend or foe.

Then Joy steps forward.

She gently dips one hoof into the water.

A second later, she's splashing around, stomping happily through the spray before flopping down right in the middle of it like she's checking into a five-star resort.

Meanwhile, the rest of the herd watches from a safe distance with expressions that seem to say, "Has Joy ... completely lost it?"

The Comments Section Was Just as Entertained:

• "Joy scaring the hell out of everybody else."
• "Correction, you got Joy a splash pad lol."
• "Everybody looking at her like 'what in the world?'"
• "There are currently 6-7 alpacas in line for the splash pad. Wait time unknown."
• "You're going to need a bigger splash pad."
• "That's Joy's splash pad and everyone else can just watch from a respectful distance."
• "All of them are cute, but Joy was a joy to watch."

Personally, I lost it at, "There are currently 6-7 alpacas in line."

You just know Joy would absolutely cut the line anyway.

Just like people, many farm animals benefit from enrichment during hot summer weather. Depending on the species and their environment, that can include splash pads, shallow pools, sprinklers, mud wallows, frozen treats, or shaded areas where they can cool off comfortably.

Introducing new enrichment also encourages curiosity and natural behaviors while giving caretakers a chance to observe how each animal interacts with something unfamiliar.

If Joy is any indication …

Some animals politely inspect the splash pad.

Others immediately declare themselves Queen of Splash Mountain.

At this point, it's kind of hard to impress me when it comes to cats. I have seen so many cats in my life that it's not even funny, and though I think they're all incredibly beautiful and special, I almost never see a cat I haven't seen before.

Until now. This Maine Coon kitten absolutely takes the cake for one clear reason: he has a heart stamped right on his face. I've never seen anything so adorable in my life! I can't wait to watch him continue to grow:

@wildmane_mainecoons

1 week of growth! #mainecoon #kitten #mainecoonkitten #cutecat #catsoftiktok

♬ son original - sirina

This kitten from Wild Mane Maine Coons experienced all of this growth in just a week! That's how it goes with this breed: they seem to double in size every five seconds. By the time he hits a month old, he'll basically be the size of a full-grown cat, and he'll still have more growing to do.

His little heart face is too sweet, and it's only getting more pronounced as he gets older: at first, it was a little more pointy, but it's rounding out. It looks like a true heart now, and not to be corny, but I really love it!

This kitten isn't just interesting because of his heart face, though. He's legitimately being raised with so much love! His mama actually had her litter around the same time as another cat in the cattery, and the two of them have become inseparable:

@wildmane_mainecoons

Everyone is doing amazing 🤍🖤 #mainecoon #kitten #mainecoonkitten #cutekitten #newbornkitten

♬ Sogni ancora - Piero Piccioni

Mr. Heart Face's mama is the lighter grey one. I think their kittens are mostly hanging out with their correct mothers, but honestly, it's a little hard to tell. I wonder if the moms themselves have mixed up who's who!

What Caused That Heart-Shaped Face?

This coloring is definitely not typical of Maine Coons. Their angular faces are naturally a little more heart-shaped, but it looks like this kitten literally had a heart stamped onto his face in the womb!

According to Wild Mane Maine Coons, he's a "High Smoke" kitten. A Smoke Maine Coon occurs when their fur is lighter at the root, gaining pigment as it travels up the shaft to the tip. High Smoke takes that to the next level: the contrast is more extreme. That means:

• Their undercoat is even lighter.
• The tips of their fur are even darker.
• Typically, they're one solid color.

As he grows, his heart shape may deepen a little, but it will almost certainly always be there. The rest of his fur will look like a puff of smoke, and he'll make someone's forever home very happy!

She's been raising those kids. She's been patient, present and fully committed to the job. The second they're not in the car she smiles so hard her whole face changes. She's earned this.

And she looks absolutely incredible earning it.

Meet Nami. She's a blue merle Australian Shepherdwith a fluffy tri-colored coat, a sleepy little smile and her head dramatically flopped to the side like she's one pothole away from full unconsciousness. Equal parts adventure buddy and professional backseat napper, she somehow makes completely passing out look ridiculously adorable.

The TikTok from @felishasupp sets the whole thing up with a caption dripping with irony: "She has the hardest life, obviously. 😂" The text overlay tells the real story: "Her favorite spot on car rides without the kids."

The kids are gone. Nami's spot is claimed. Her face says everything.

This is an Australian Shepherd doing what Australian Shepherds were literally bred to do: watch over the family, keep track of the kids and stay present at all times. Nami's been doing the job. She knows she's been doing it. And right now in this car, with nobody to herd or supervise or gently nudge back into line, she's smiling the smile of a dog who is deeply and completely off the clock; like a mom whose toddlers finally went to sleep and she just took her bra off- pure freedom.

The comments understood immediately:

"She been raising those kids she needs a break!"

The comment that says everything. Nami wasn't just along for the ride. She was working.

"The fact that she's actually smiling! 😂"

It's real. That's a real smile. Her whole face is different.

"She loves the idea of being an only child!"

The best character observation in the entire comment section. She's not just happy the kids are gone. She's savoring the concept of their absence. She's enjoying being the center of mom's attention or maybe just not having to care for anyone else for a little while.

"Car rides without the kids."

Said with the same energy as every parent who's ever done a solo grocery run and sat in the parking lot for an extra five minutes just because. We get it.

"My Aussie also loves being in the car seat."

"I thought it was just my Australian Shepherd that liked this 😂"

"You got a hard life mommy!"

Full affectionate irony. Nami's got the hardest life. She's smiling about it from the booster seat with her head flopped over.

But here's what makes that smile more than just a funny car ride moment. Australian Shepherds feel everything - including relief.

Why Australian Shepherds Are So Emotionally Tuned In and What That Smile Actually Means

According to Hepper, Australian Shepherds were developed as working dogs built to follow their people closely and stay completely in tune with everything happening around them all day long. That closeness wasn't just physical. It was emotional.

Hepper explains that this is a breed that naturally sees their family as their flock. The instinct to watch over kids, stay present and take a protective role isn't something they learn. It's something they're born with.

As Hepper puts it, Aussies are "loyal and protective of their family" and stick close because they genuinely feel responsible for their people. That means the kids weren't just people Nami lived with. They were her reason for being there. They are her 'why'.

Which explains the smile. And the head flopped to the side. And the fact that she's one pothole away from snoring. Like most moms, her natural state of being is blissfully exhausted.

The same sensitivity that makes Aussies incredible with families also means they feel a quiet moment just as deeply as they feel a hectic one. When the job's temporarily off the table and her person is right there and everything is calm and nobody needs herding Nami can actually exhale.

She raised those kids. She watched over them. She stayed present every single day.

The car ride without them is her version of a coffee break. She's taking it seriously and she looks absolutely adorable doing it.

Puppies and kittens instantly win everyone over with their undeniable adorability. These fur babies are so tiny and innocent, they often get nicknamed after foods like "potato", "bean", or "nugget".

Fig is a British Shorthair kitten whose name is actually perfect for her over-the-top irresistible appearance.

@britishshorthairsusa

Figgy 🤎🙏🏽 such a cutie princess getting cozy in the tub and dryer 👑 #chocolatekitten #britishlonghair #britishlonghairkitten #browncat #catbath

♬ Lullaby for a Parisian Night - Sonarelle

In the TikTok from @britishshorthairusa, Fig stood quietly in the sink as she waited to get her very first bath. The pretty kitty had fluffy, chocolate brown fur that circled her head like a cotton-like cloud. The rest of her poofy coat made Fig look more like a stuffed animal than a live kitten.

Fig got very curious when the water began filling the sink. She gracefully pawed at the foreign substance, then got distracted by the shadows in her makeshift tub's stainless steel sides.

Fig meowed in protest after discovering her distaste for the spontaneous dip in the water, but to no avail. The bath proceeded much to Fig's chagrin, though her fur looked feathery even when damp.

After a stint next to the hair dryer, Fig was like a plush puffball with huge eyes peering out. Followers fell in love with Fig and likened her to a famous cookie and other sweet treats.

"Is her last name, per chance, Newton?" one asked.

"Your chocolate is melting in the water!" another pointed out.

"I've never seen a more accurate name," a follower remarked.

"Don't put cotton candy in water, dude," someone advised.

"A chocolate glazed munchkin with eyes," a fan commented.

What Colors Do British Shorthair Kittens Come In?

These teddy-bear like cats come in a range of colors such as golden, silver, lilac, chocolate, white, tortoiseshell and the classic blue that has become the breed's trademark.

Some of the rarest British Shorthair cat colors include golden shaded, chinchilla silver, cinnamon, fawn, and lilac point.
