Is it just me, or does Monday morning hit a little harder after a good weekend?

Some of us wake up feeling refreshed. The rest of us stumble to the coffee maker looking like we’ve just survived a three day music festival.

Apparently, that second group includes Luna the Shih-Tzu, whose post nap hairstyle is so hilariously wild that she looks like she has absolutely no memory of what happened before bedtime.

#justforyou #fyp #shihtzu #love #sweet

The adorable clip was shared by TikTok user @lisacurry64 and Luna slowly wakes up from her nap sporting what can only be described as an award winning case of bedhead. Her fluffy fur sticks out in every possible direction, giving her the unmistakable look of someone who’s asking, “What year is it?”

The comments immediately turned into a support group for people and pets who never wake up looking presentable.

“Me, when I wake up,” one viewer admitted.

Honestly, same.

Another person looked at Luna’s delightfully wild hairstyle and joked, “Damn baby you had a rough night.”

Someone else found a kindred spirit.

“My hair looks like that every day, twinsies.”

One commenter imagined Luna trying to piece together the previous evening.

“Omg how many pup cups did I have? I can’t remember anything from last night.”

Now that’s a Monday mood.

Another viewer couldn’t get enough of her wild hairstyle, writing, “That hairstyle is too cute, we are obsessed.”

I have to agree.

Luna somehow turned bedhead into a fashion statement.

Shih Tzus require regular grooming because their long, continuously growing coat can easily become tangled or matted without frequent brushing. Many pet parents schedule professional grooming every four to six weeks while brushing at home several times a week to keep their coats healthy and comfortable.

Of course, even the best grooming appointment can’t prevent a spectacular case of nap hair.

And based on Luna’s expression…she has absolutely no intention of fixing it.

Cats having beautiful eyes is one of the main things everyone knows about them. Cats have pretty eyes! However, not all cats’ eyes are quite created equal. Some cats just have eyes that make everyone else’s look a little… Less awesome.

For example, this tiny kitten. She’s so grey that she’s almost blue, and her eyes are so green that they legitimately look like fine jewels. These eyes are unlike any cats’ eyes I’ve ever seen in my life:

Throwback Telly! She was full of thought and contemplation from day one. #catsoftiktok #polydactylcat #greycat #onthisday

Telly the Cat is a little older now: this video is a throwback. However, time really hasn’t changed her size or the crazy colors of her eyes. She’s a rescue: she was adopted when she was just a baby, so small that she still needed to be bottle-fed. Luckily, her mom was willing to do it!

Telly is a bit of a wild card: she has blue fur, green eyes, the build of a kitten, and so many extra toes that I lose count every time I try to figure it out. There are so many! Whoever left her behind had no idea what they would be missing, but it was all worth it for Telly to get the love she deserves.

Despite everything that makes Telly so unique, she’s living a very long and happy life. She can do everything a “typical” cat can do, and then some. She just sometimes likes to pretend she’s a dead roach while she sleeps:

Always the best napper #catsoftiktok #cattok #polydactylcat

This looks like the kind of nap that would heal my soul. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned from Telly, it’s that I don’t take naps nearly as seriously as I should.

People swear up, down, and sideways that their cat’s fur color impacts their personality. There’s no scientific evidence to support that, but it makes people happy, so it typically goes uncorrected. But what about eye color?

Eye color has no impact on a cat’s personality either, but a cat’s eyes can tell you a lot of other things about that cat. For instance, a cat’s eye color can often tell you about:

• Their age: cats with cloudy or hazy eyes are often older.
• Their breed: certain breeds, like Ragdolls, have a certain eye color.
• Their health: if a cat’s eye color suddenly shifts, something might be wrong.

Telly’s beautiful eyes are crystal clear and have been the same color since the day her mom brought her home. I’m not sure what having eyes that look like priceless jewels says about her, but I do know she’s the prettiest girl!

There’s no denying it, if you’re a pet parent you know all too well that cats like to keep you guessing. One minute, they may be curled up next to you happily purring away. The next, they’re sitting across the room staring at you like you’ve personally offended them. Unlike dogs, cats aren’t always obvious about how they feel, which can make knowing how devoted they are to you a bit confusing, but it can also make their displays of affection more special. So how do you know if your cat considers themself your friend?

The good news is, that independent streak doesn’t mean your cat isn’t attached to you. In fact, some of the little things cats do every day can be signs of loyalty and friendship, revealing that they’ve chosen you as one of their favorite people and see you as a trusted part of their inner circle.

After all, cats tend to be more self-sufficient than many pets and they don’t necessarily need to be around their humans all the time, explains Dr. Katie Merkatoris, veterinarian at JustAnswer. However, they do give off clues about how much they love you. In fact, they just express themself in different ways, ones that most cat owners miss because they don’t know how to decode their body language and behavior.

So, how do you know if you’ve made their list? Experts say there are several common signs your cat is loyal to you that you can look out for. Keep reading to discover 5 traits that prove your cat is one of the most loyal companions in your life. “If you find your cat exemplifies some of these traits, you’re likely one of their people,” Merkatoris confirms.

Cats are famously good at finding the coziest, quietest spot in the house. Sometimes that means a sunny windowsill, the top of a cat tree or a corner where nobody can bother them. So when your cat opts for you instead, it’s worth paying attention.

“If a cat chooses you to cuddle up to, especially if there are other humans around, they likely have a strong devotion to you,” Merkatoris says. “That’s a true sign of loyalty.”

Your cat doesn’t necessarily have to be a lap cat, either. Choosing to sit beside you, sleep near you or lean against your legs can all be ways of seeking out your company.

And if there are several people in the room and your cat goes straight to you, you may have been purposely selected.

“In the past, our cat had a favorite toy that she loved to play with me, but when my friend played with the same toy, she didn’t react at all,” adds JoAnn Parente, cat expert and co-owner at Dogs & Cats Rule. Basically, cats definitely have their people.

Forming a friendship with a kitty cat be tough. But if you notice your furry sidekick slowly blinking at you, it can be their way of communicating they like you.

Often called a “kitty kiss,” slow blinking happens when a cat gently closes their eyes and slowly opens them again while looking at you. It’s generally a sign that your cat is relaxed and feels safe in your presence because to them you’re not just their owner, you’re their friend.

“This is a sign of trust,” Merkatoris says. “Cats close their eyes around people they include in their inner circle. Some people say it’s a cat’s way of smiling or saying, ‘I love you.’”

Overall, that little slow blink may be subtle, but it can be one of the hallmarks of a strong bond.

Do you ever feel like you can’t walk from one room to another without your cat silently shadowing you?

If your cat follows you around the house without wanting food, treats or playtime, it could be a sign of devotion and mean they value your friendship.

“A cat that follows you around the house just to be near you is a sign of loyalty,” Merkatoris says. “However, this won’t necessarily apply if it’s feeding time or your cat wants something else from you, such as to play.”

So, if you notice your cat tends to go wherever you go, like into the bedroom, bathroom and living room, chances are they just enjoy your company because you’re their favorite person.

Realted: 7 Ways to Tell If Your Cat Is Happy When They Can’t Tell You, According to Experts

When your cat walk over and gently bumps their head against you, know it’s not just adorable, it’s also meaningful. In fact, experts say you should consider it a tiny feline vote of confidence in your relationship.

Known as bunting, this behavior is one way cats communicate affection and trust. Your cat may press their forehead against you, rub their face against your hand or give you a gentle head bump before settling in for some attention.

“This behavior is a way to show affection, ask for attention and mark their scent,” Merkatoris explains. “Cats may use this to ask for food, head scratches or to mark you as their own.”

In other words, your devoted cat may actually be claiming you as their own as bunting is often thought of as a cat’s version of a hug. So even if your cat isn’t the most cuddly creature, a few enthusiastic headbutts can be their way of saying they are committed to you and you’re important to them.

Forming a friendship with your cat can be tricky, but it’s possible. One way you can tell your connection is growing is if your cat climbs onto your lap and starts rhythmically pushing their paws against you. This is known as “making biscuits.”

Kittens knead against their mothers while nursing, but many cats continue this behavior well into adulthood. When they knead on you, a blanket or a pillow, it can be a sign that they’re feeling at ease and comfortable.

“If your cat kneads you, you make him feel like his mama did as a kitten,” Merkatoris says. “You are definitely a safe space.”

Of course, every cat is different. Some are professional cuddlers, while others may reserve slow blinks for special occasions. Your cat doesn’t have to display all five behaviors to be loyal. What matters most is understanding how your individual cat communicates trust, affection and devotion, even when they do it in their own very feline way.

Thanks to social media, we get to see beautiful baby animals that are rarities in the animal kingdom. For baby Tortoiseshell Kitten Stark, he is maybe one of the rarest on the internet at the moment.

Stark is a male tortie, so already rare to begin with, but according to his owner (@toaster_tales on TikTok), Stark is also ultra-rare due to his coloring which is orange, black, brown, and with tabby features. They claim Stark is a tortie chimera, which would make him about 1 in 300,000 or, as they call him, a “biological glitch.”

Regardless of any of the facts, Stark is pretty freaking adorable.

Genetically speaking, Stark is a literal walking science textbook. 🧬🐾 Here is why he is a 1-in-300,000 biological miracle: The Boy Factor: 99.9% of tortoiseshell and “torbie” cats are female because the black-and-orange coat pattern requires two X chromosomes. He has brown tabby markings AND orange tabby markings with a black base! For Stark to be a male with this pattern, nature had to pull off a spontaneous chromosomal glitch—giving him an extra chromosome (XXY) or making him a genetic chimera (two embryos fusing into one)! 🤯 The “Thumbs”: He is polydactyl, meaning he has prominent extra digits that look like little mittens. The Tail Tip: While tuxedo white socks are common, having a dark tail with a perfectly placed white lantern tip is incredibly unusual. Color cells start at the spine and spread downward; for Stark, the color cells ran out of steam at the very last second, leaving just the tip pure white! 🕯️✨ Because male torties are almost always sterile, his exact genetic layout cannot be passed down. It is a completely unique roll of the dice from nature. 🎰 We are getting ready to reach out to university feline genetics programs to have his DNA officially sequenced! 🧪Hey @Basepaws – Pet DNA Tests and @Wisdom Panel — Let’s do a cheek swab test! 👇 #catsoftiktok #fyp #rare #tortoiseshellcat #kitten

Commenters were also super curious to Stark’s makeup, chiming in with:

• “I’d love to know if he’s XXY or if he’s a chimera. He’s perfect either way, but I’m just so curious”
• “I won’t tell him. But they are so rare that this is the first I’ve SEEN in my 30yrs of vet med!”
• “ooh a polydactyl male tortie? that is extremely rare”

While female tortie kittens are fairly common, male torties like Mr. Stark account for only 1 in 3,000 births. This is because orange and black coats, which are associated with the coloring, require an XX chromosomal mashup. So for a male kitten to have a true tortie coloring, they must have XXY chromosomes.

Due to this, almost all male torties are sterile and cannot reproduce due to the chromosomal anomaly in their makeup.

While torties are not associated with any specific breed, they’re known and beloved for their distinct and eye-catching colorings. Tortie coloring can occur in mixed-breed cats, but also breeds like Persians, Maine Coons, and Shorthairs. Many tortie cats, regardless of actual breed, are affectionately known for having a “tortie-tude,” slang the owners of the cats came up with to describe their sassy, bold personalities.

While it can be super fun to know you have a more rare kitten in your midst, regardless of rarity, the joy is having a new baby around to lead through life!

I’m convinced Terriers can sense a tiny animal somewhere in the house before anyone has officially briefed them on the situation. Gus certainly appears to believe that’s part of his job description.

In the video, the Terrier Chihuahua mix is parked beside the pet rats‘ enclosure, and his entire face is screaming, “Excuse me, who approved this?”

His body is tense. His eyes are locked in. Then he looks back at Mom with the kind of betrayal usually reserved for discovering someone ate your leftovers. I can practically hear him asking how these suspicious little creatures got through household security without his permission.

The text on the clip explains the problem pretty perfectly: Imagine being a Terrier and suddenly discovering there are pet rats in your house. Meanwhile, the post caption gives us Gus’ apparent assessment of the situation. Mom may call them pets. Gus has filed them under “threat.”

I’m not sure he was emotionally prepared for this level of responsibility.

There’s something especially funny about a little dog looking this serious. He isn’t bouncing around or treating the rats like a casual curiosity. This appears to be surveillance. His ancestors would probably be thrilled. Mom, perhaps less so.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he requested a badge by dinner.

The comments quickly filled with people who understood Gus immediately. One Jack Russell Terrier parent shared that they also have two pet rats and an 8-year-old JRT, and their peace treaty involves an entire floor of separation, a baby gate, a closed bedroom door, and a cage positioned well beyond canine reach.

Honestly, that sounds less like pet management and more like a tiny maximum-security facility.

I love Gus, but his face suggests those precautions exist for a reason.

If you have both a dog and small pets, you don’t have to assume they’ll become enemies, but you also shouldn’t expect instinct to disappear because everyone technically belongs to the same family. The AKC notes that Terriers were historically bred to pursue small animals, and dogs with a strong prey drive may not understand the difference between a wild rodent and your beloved pet rat.

You can make sharing a home much safer:

• Use real physical barriers. Keep rats in a secure enclosure the dog can’t access, and separate everyone completely when you can’t supervise.
• Reward boring behavior. If your pup can calmly notice the rats and disengage, reinforce that instead of allowing staring, lunging, or frantic fixation to build.
• Give everyone their own space. Your rats need time outside their enclosure without a predator nearby, and your dog needs activities that channel all that energy somewhere appropriate.

As for Gus, I think he would like it officially entered into the record that he noticed the situation first.

Everyone misbehaves every once in a while, and most people have to face the consequences afterward. One naughty goat is learning the consequences of his actions in a hilarious video.

One family has shared a now-viral clip of one of their goats. In the clip, the goat is forced to wear the “noodles of shame,” and his reaction couldn’t be any better. He surely had some thoughts about his new headgear!

We had to put the pool noodles, he kept bucking everyone. He was NOT happy about them lol. He was so mad he flipped the bucket full of food 😆 #goats #goatsoftiktok #FarmTok #CountryLife #chivosilvajr

This is too good! In the video, a goat is wearing purple pool noodles over his horns to protect people from the sharp tips. The video caption says that the goat has been bucking at people recently, so the extra protection is needed to prevent injuries. Lucky for us, it’s hilariously cute, too!

People in the comments were amused by the “noodles of shame.” One person commented, “He looks so proud he was bad enough to be put in the noodles of shame.” Another viewer said, “He don’t wanna act right, that’s what you get!”

Other farmers were sharing pictures of their own goats wearing “noodles of shame.” In the photos, all the different goats seem to be in varying stages of annoyance over the pool noodles. It’s all so cute!

This video may have you wondering whether you can have goats of your own. It’s certainly doable with the right space, but there are a few important things to know before adopting your own pet goat.

Related: Homesteader Shares Hilarious Video of Chaos-Loving Goats Climbing Where They Shouldn’t

You need the right space to keep goats. They should have at least 200 square feet and need a secure, tall fence to keep them corralled. Since goats are known as escape artists, a 4-foot tall fence is best. They also need some type of shelter to protect them from the elements during inclement weather. These creatures are herd animals, so it’s in your and your goat’s best interest to have more than one for companionship. Otherwise, they could become stressed and lonely.

Goats have a fairly simple diet. They’re known as “browsers.” They prefer weeds, brush, and woody plants, but should be supplemented with grass hay when pickings are low. These animals also eat loose minerals formulated for them, such as copper. Like all mammals, constant fresh water is key to keeping goats healthy and happy.

You also need to provide maintenance care for these pets. Regular hoof trims every six to eight weeks help prevent mobility issues and hoof rot. Keep up on routine veterinary care by scheduling yearly appointments for a vet to come examine and vaccinate your goats. If you really want to spoil your horned friends, give them an occasional brushing.

Goats are generally pretty chill creatures, but sometimes you just need to put them in their place with the “noodles of shame.” We hope this guy has learned to keep his horns to himself!

Orange cats get a bad rap for being unabashedly quirky, wild, and weird. But when it comes to having an adorably memorable look for one reason or another, there are a select few who live in our heads rent-free.

Pumpkin, the rescue Orange Cat, is at the top of that list. She has the brains, the personality, and most of all, a large, round body and the greenest alien eyes you’ll ever see.

Pumpkin being cute. 🎃

Pumpkin, in all her oatmeal creme pie-shaped body glory, isn’t like other Orange Cats—there’s a lot more of her to love! The enormous rescue cat winning everyone’s hearts for being a real-life Garfield is just 5 years old, but it seems like there’s a thousand lifetimes in those pickle, relish-colored eyes.

This sweet girl ended up in a shelter after her mom died, but with a lot of love from her new foster dad (and President and CEO of @SPCACincinnati), Chris Seelbach, the plus-size babe is on her way to a healthier way of living.

When Pumpkin first arrived, she was severely overweight to the point it had affected her quality of life. It’s been a journey, but already, she’s looking slimmer and trimmer than ever.

Pumpkin lives with other colossal cats who are internet famous in their own right. Dottie, Doe, and Big Jerry (who weighs 25 pounds!) are all in the process of dropping a few pounds while maintaining their fun-loving lifestyle.

Pumpkin, who many compared to actress Emma Stone, is a standout, if only for her early posts that show why she’s on a health journey:

A walking 🎃! 👀

It’s normal for indoor cats to gain a couple of pounds here and there, but when it’s as obvious as it is with Pumpkin, it can make their lives less enjoyable. As Hill’s Pet explains, managing a cat’s weight doesn’t have to be a big, complicated thing. Just a few minor changes in diet and activity can make a huge difference.

Before starting any kind of diet, it’s best to check with a vet to rule out underlying health issues. Online calculators can help determine daily caloric needs based on your cat’s weight and activity levels, also suggesting a target weight goal and food options. The rule of thumb is the slower the weight loss—1% to 2% per week—the better, so they don’t develop hepatic lipidosis, also known as fatty liver disease, which can be dangerous.

Meet our cats! @craigschultz108

To get your kitty started on their health journey:

• Stop free-feeding and offer only scheduled meals at the same times each day.
• Increase physical activity any way possible.
• Manage treats (this is hard when they want more!).
• Try food puzzles or mats to help slow down their eating.
• Add wet food to help them feel full longer.

For an adorable plus-size girl like Pumpkin, size is just a number and doesn’t take away from how beautiful and amazing she is. Once she gets to her goal weight, that precious oatmeal creme pie might look more like a fuzzy peach!

Though dogs have excellent hunting instincts, handed down from their wolf ancestors, that doesn’t necessarily mean all dogs are hunters.

In fact, many dogs are extremely nurturing to all animals, not just their own offspring.

A perfect example is in this viral dog video that will absolutely melt your heart, featuring a Mini Goldendoodle who finds a baby rabbit, and what she does next will astound you.

POV: Your dog finds a wild baby rabbit… and instead of hurting it, she brings it to you and follows you everywhere until she knows it’s safe. 🥹💕 I don’t know how we got so lucky to have such a gentle, loving girl. 🐾❤️ #Viral #DogTok #Wholesome #AnimalRescue #FYP

It’s just so sweet how this Miniature Goldendoodle peers down at her baby rabbit.

They were meant to meet, clearly!

The pup’s mom wrote in the comments, “Her mother instinct definitely kicked in.”

This is a very sweet video, but there are a few things to know if you or your cat or dog finds a baby rabbit.

The sweet Goldendoodle brought the rabbit home to her family without hurting it, and I actually grew up with outdoor cats who would also bring baby rabbits to our back door unscathed (but very frightened).

However, if you find one of these tiny rabbits in the wild, you should actually leave it.

Often, these bunnies are perfectly fine and have not been abandoned by their mothers, as their moms only visit them twice a day.

According to the Department of Fish & Wildlife, the mother is most likely nearby getting food.

The site suggests contacting a wildlife rehabilitator or your local animal control officer before interfering if you suspect an animal is truly abandoned or injured.

If they have fur, open eyes, and can hop, the young rabbit is most likely not injured.

Don’t attempt to feed the rabbit either, as they have special dietary needs, unless a wildlife rehabilitator or specialist instructs you to do so.

It did work out with this Goldendoodle, but you should try not to move a baby bunny away from its nest.

Dogs in shelters endure so much heartache. Between the abandonment, lack of consistent attention, and chaotic environment, these canines begin to deteriorate both physically and emotionally, making them more challenging to get adopted. The longer they stay in the shelter, the harder it is to get them a forever home.

Patrick is an adorable Pit Bull mix who’s been at the Maui Humane Society for over two years. His reactive nature and hesitancy to trust make a negative first impression on potential pet parents, but this precious pooch has so much to offer when given the time and patience.

Patrick has been waiting 2.5 years for someone willing to really get to know him. He is reactive to other dogs and reactive to new people, so Patrick isn’t the kind of dog you meet once and immediately take home. He needs time, patience and multiple meetings to build trust. But once you’re in, you get to know the Patrick we know. He’s incredibly smart, food motivated, loves training, toys and swimming, and he’s still working hard in training to become the best version of himself. Please share Patrick. His person might just need to see him. He’s waiting at Maui humane society. Please fill out the adoption interest form in my bio if you are interested. #fyp #maui #hawaiitiktok #adoptme #adoptdontshop️

The TikTok from @cassondrachristman shared Patrick’s story and emphasized his need for compassion.

“Patrick has been waiting 2.5 years for someone willing to really get to know him,” the caption explained. “Patrick isn’t the kind of dog you meet once and immediately take home. He needs time, patience and multiple meetings to build trust.”

The video featured Patrick’s fun-loving side and how he’s a total love bug when given the chance.

“Finding Patrick’s person hasn’t been easy,” the on-screen text shared as the pretty Pittie mix jumped in the water than snuggled with a shelter staff member. “He’s reactive to other dogs and he doesn’t immediately trust new people. He needs time. He needs you to come back, because Patrick can learn to trust new people.”

Staff members at the Maui Humane Society have spent time with Patrick and earned his trust, which makes all the difference in helping him show his true self.

“Once you’re in, you get to know the Patrick we know,” the story continued. “He’s incredibly smart, food motivated, loves training, toys and swimming, and he’s still working hard in training to become the best version of himself.”

Clips of Patrick obeying basic commands, being silly in the water, and giving lots of kisses gave an inside look to the canine cutie’s loving nature when he feels safe enough to let his guard down. He just needs someone to give him a chance.

Hopefully, someone will soon open their heart and home to Patrick so he can experience the love and security he deserves.

Sharing a home with pets means getting creative with how you decorate it. The problem is, part of having a pet means constantly being tempted to buy things for your furry little friends, which then creates the new problem of how to incorporate them into your home.

When it comes to pet beds, houses and hideaways, finding ways to blend them with your space isn’t always as easy as you’d like. That is, until Wayfair comes along with the stylish 58-inch Cat Condo with Litter Box Enclosure, a modern rustic multi-level cat tree that looks more like a piece of furniture than a traditional cat tower. With a warm wood finish and clean, contemporary lines, it’s no wonder shoppers are snatching it up quickly at its limited-time sale price of $129.99.

Combining play, rest, feeding, storage and a little bit of Mother Nature all in one piece, Wayfair’s Cat Condo with Litter Box Enclosure features beautiful design elements like a natural wood finish, plush blankets, a cat scratching post and a solid steel frame.

Starting with an enclosed base level large enough to hold a standard-size litter box, the condo moves up to a plush-carpeted second level with access to a cat scratching post and dangling pom-pom toy for playtime. Up above, the third floor features a solid wood surface sectioned in half by a 13.8-inch piece of plush carpet, along with a second cat scratching post. This is also where you can attach the two included stainless steel food bowls, turning the level into a multifunctional refueling station.

Rounding out the levels, the fourth floor features an 11.4-by-13.8-by-11.8-inch enclosed room with an arched entrance on one side and a circular entrance on the other, creating a cozy little hideaway. Up above, the gift level makes up the tippy top of the condo, split in half by another piece of plush carpet and serving as a cozy perch for watching all the action down below.

With a near-five-star rating online, shoppers have been more than impressed by this stylish condo’s design. And with Rustic Brown and Gray colorways to choose from, its clever design is backed by an appearance that easily blends with most decor.

One fan admitted that assembly was “time-consuming,” but said “the effort was worth it” in the end. “The design is aesthetically pleasing and blends with the rest of my furniture,” they raved. “Most importantly, it does an excellent job of concealing the cat litter box.”

“My cat loves to climb and lay on it,” another shopper shared, agreeing that the hidden litter box is easily one of its best features. “This may be my favorite cat tree ever.”

A third fan echoed the praise, saying their cats approve of it and that they found the condo to be “compact, comfortable and stylish,” ultimately giving it a strong recommendation for other cat parents.

As for its overall footprint, the condo stands 57.5 inches tall, 23.6 inches wide and 19.7 inches deep. The litterbox cabinet has a slightly smaller footprint, measuring 22.8 inches long, 18.7 inches wide and 15.7 inches tall, while the clearance between each level alternates between 15.8 inches and 11.8 inches. The cabinet can also pull double duty as storage for pet supplies, helping cut down on clutter around the room, or as a quiet, secure hideaway for your cat with a mattress tucked inside.

If you can already picture it in your house, don’t waste any time taking advantage of its current sale price. And if it has you inspired to spoil your feline friends even more, check out Wayfair’s A-Frame Cat Bed Side Table and Single Drawer Wood Accent Table.

Motherhood comes in all shapes and forms, and for this sweet Viszla, her baby is a pup, just not the canine kind.

This Viszla, named Winnie, has chosen a guinea pig named Mike as her baby (baby guinea pigs are called pups), and it’s so heartwarming that it’s literally breaking the internet.

the way she loves her 😭🤎 #vizla#guineapigsoftiktok#petsoftiktok#dogandguineapig#fyp

Though they’re a rather unlikely pair, the love is clearly there.

And they do have quite similar coloring!

As you can imagine, the comments section was full of people remarking on how sweet this dog mom and her guinea pig baby are.

“I love how big dogs are so gentle with animals smaller than them,” one person said.

“All I see is a mother caring for her baby she birthed herself!!!” said another.

“Cuteness overload,” one person commented.

“They look similar… can’t blame her,” another wrote.

If you’re thinking about adopting a guinea pig and have a dog, you may be wondering how these animals will interact with each other.

Though Winnie and her guinea pig’s relationship is very sweet and maternal, not every interaction between two animals is going to be just like that.

But there are certain steps you can take to help make the process of introducing a dog to your pet guinea pig easier.

First of all, before you even consider bringing a guinea pig into your household with a dog, make sure your pup is calm, gentle, and submissive, and will listen to commands.

Your dog should also have a low prey drive.

As for the actual introduction, give the guinea pig something that smells like your pup before they meet, and vice versa.

Then bring the dog into the same room to meet the guinea pig, but keep your pup on a leash.

The guinea pig also needs a secure space where they can retreat to if they start to feel unsafe.

If either animal looks or acts stressed, separate them and try again at a different time.

Not all relationships will look like Winnie and Mike’s, but one can hope!

Niall Harbison deals with countless canines suffering from abuse and medical issues through the work of his Thailand animal rescue, Happy Doggo. Saving and rehabilitating numerous street dogs in his organization’s medical clinic and sanctuary, Harbison often finds these precious pooches forever homes where they get to experience a whole new life.

Maximus the Pit Bull mix used to spend every day in a horrific environment on a short chain, but now the canine cutie is living like royalty.

The Instagram from @niall.harbison told Maximus’s story, along with a carousel of photos that chronicled his life-changing journey.

“Chained up. Alone. Forgotten,” the on-screen text read with a picture of Maximus held captive by a short chain to a pole. “He was skin and bones. We were told he was vicious. We weren’t even sure he’d survive at first.”

Maximus was malnourished, had major skin issues, and his ears had been docked. The Pittie was “in agony” and immediately taken to Happy Doggo for care. Harbison and his team were with Maximus every step of the way of his recovery journey, yet the animal advocate knew the fur baby would do best with a forever family.

“He started to heal with us but we knew he needed a home,” the story continued.

Maximus soon caught the eye of a family online, and he was immediately adopted. It was “love at first sight” when Maximus and his new dad met a year ago, and the pretty Pittie has been living his best life ever since.

“Fast forward a year and [Maximus] is the center of his family home,” the caption shared, alongside images of the sweet pooch proudly wearing a birthday hat and surrounded by elaborately decorated birthday cupcakes. “To see him in his hat eating all his cakes with a huge smile on his face is the stuff of dreams.”

Maximus is now getting the love and special treatment he deserves, thanks to his new forever family and the dedication of Harbison and his team.

Everyone gets into arguments. It’s a universal experience people have when they disagree with each other. However, fights aren’t limited to humans. Two cats have been proving they’re not new to the drama.

In a popular video circulating on TikTok, two kitties start an argument first thing in the morning. These two are going back and forth with some very opinionated meows. Watching these two bicker is just priceless!

It mayb have started with one of them calling the other a cow 😹🐄 #cats #tabbycat #naughtycats #bengalcat #cowcat

These two are so funny! The argument started when one cat called the other “a cow,” but these kitties kept going. We can hardly believe the passion in this fight!

People in the comments were very amused by this clip. Comments were rife with laughing emojis and jokes at the expense of these two cats. “This is hilarious,” said one person. “Cats are so ridiculous,” said another.

Other viewers imagined the cats were saying some bad words, such as one person who commented, “Allowing that foul language in the house that early?” Another viewer commented, “Where did he learn that kind of language?”

This epic fight was certainly entertaining!

For cat parents, it isn’t always easy to tell when your kitties are playing or actually fighting. Knowing and identifying the differences between playing and fighting will save you and your pets the stress of guessing. The key is to look at whether the interaction is quiet, mutual, and balanced.

When cats are playing, they aren’t usually too loud, though you might hear some soft panting and thudding. They will also take turns with one cat on top or chasing the other. Soft body language is a good indicator, too. With a kitty, their ears face forward and upright, and they may roll around and expose their belly. Paws may be flying, but claws will be retracted, and there may be some gentle nipping involved.

When it comes to fighting, cats will typically be vocal. You may hear intense hissing, growling, screaming, or high-pitched yowling. The body language of fighting cats usually involves arched backs, rigid bodies, and puffed-up tails. Their ears will also be pinned back or sideways, known as airplane ears. During fights, it’s rare that both kitties are going at each other equally. See if one seems constantly scared or trying to get away and keep an eye on whether there’s any real damage. Watch for the claws coming out and causing tufts of fur to fly around, and look for scratches or bites that produce blood.

We understand the concern cat parents have about whether their feline friends are playing or fighting. Luckily, the argument in the video didn’t turn physical, and the kitties kept to meowing at each other!

There’s nothing more adorable than watching a tiny crew of kittens frolicking, romping, and causing a ruckus! Those early stages are pure chaos as the cute and curious cats explore the world around them. Having a large litter of this kind of energy isn’t for the faint of heart!

For one litter of seven Maine Coon kittens, playtime is the best time. If watching one kitty get the zoomies thrills you to the core, adding six more will surely make your heart burst wide open!

Just a normal day in the kitten room 🌪️ #chaos #kittens mainecoons

Greek Garden Maine Coons knows what they’re doing when it comes to producing the kind of kitten so irresistible, you’ll want to take home the whole pack.

The video shows how much energy these little ones can expend, and when they’re together, it’s like lightning in a bottle. If it’s not the itty-bitty hops that set the tone, it’s seven kitties zooming around the room like it’s the best day ever.

Having even one impossibly cute kitten is a lot of work, but worth it. Just like watching this litter of Maine Coons, you’ll get a front-row seat to more cuteness than you can handle. But where do they get so much energy?!

Linus really loves to tackle his siblings lately. Did anyone have a sibling like him growing up? 😂

Even amid the chaos, kittens grow up so fast, so enjoy even the challenging moments. One day, they’ll be a full-grown adult cat judging you for literally everything!

Kittens take a lot more time, energy, and patience than adult cats, but they’re so cute, you’ll hardly notice. To survive this chaotic kitten stage, there are a few things you can do to make it feel a little less wild.

To start, kitten-proof the home so all small items, wires, cables, fragile things, and toxic plants are out of reach. Create a daily routine and stick to it so the kittens know what’s expected and when.

Maine Coon kittens don’t stay tiny for long! Which glow-up was your favorite?

Feeding and playtimes should be on a set schedule, and the goal for playtime should be to exhaust them. Waving a wand toy for 15 to 20 minutes before mealtime does wonders for getting out excess energy, while a good meal directly afterward helps regulate their natural cycle (bonus: They’ll want a good nap after).

Should your kitty have an affinity for nipping, redirect their tiny shark teeth toward a toy and away from your hands and feet. Likewise, don’t reward negative behavior like climbing things they shouldn’t, yelling for meals at dawn, or anything they shouldn’t be doing, and instead, reward them when they do something positive.

As for the chaotic Maine Coon kittens, they’re perfect and doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing: causing trouble like it’s their job!

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to seeing dogs comfort each other when they somehow know one of them needs a little extra love. Mouse and Tammie’s story makes this tiny moment under a bed feel about a thousand times bigger.

Their human realized both rescued sisters had disappeared and went upstairs looking for them. Instead of finding trouble, she found the kind of scene that makes you immediately stop what you’re doing: both dogs tucked beneath the bed together.

Mouse sometimes retreats under there when she’s anxious or simply needs some quiet time. This time, Tammie apparently decided her sister shouldn’t have to take that break alone.

The video’s on-screen caption reveals what their human discovered: Tammie was gently licking Mouse’s scars.

I’m sorry, but my heart is absolutely done for.

Those scars carry an especially painful history. As their human explained in the post caption, Mouse and Tammie survived the dog meat trade in Vietnam and came frighteningly close to not making it out at all. Now they’re safe, loved, and apparently running their own tiny sister-support system beneath the furniture.

There’s something so tender about Tammie crawling into Mouse’s hiding place instead of trying to coax her out of it. She just joins her. Then come the little kisses right over her scars, as if she knows exactly where they belong.

Maybe she does.

One viewer called the sisters “magic together” and thanked their human for giving them a loving, safe home. I can’t think of a better way to describe them. Their past is heartbreaking, but this clip isn’t really about what happened to them before. It’s about what they have now: safety, patience, and each other.

I could watch these two quietly loving each other all day.

Mouse choosing the space under the bed may look unusual if your dog prefers sprawling across the couch, but hiding can be one way a nervous dog tries to get some distance from whatever feels overwhelming. The American Kennel Club recommends giving anxious dogs a calm place associated with positive things and undisturbed rest.

If your dog has a favorite retreat, you can help make it feel even safer:

• Let the hideout stay theirs. If your dog chooses a safe spot, avoid dragging them out or repeatedly reaching in. Give them a chance to settle and come back when they’re ready.
• Make calm feel familiar. Keep a comfortable bed, favorite blanket, toy, or another familiar item nearby so their retreat feels predictable and inviting.
• Pay attention to changes. An occasional quiet break is one thing. If your dog suddenly starts hiding much more often, seems distressed, or behaves differently, it’s worth checking in with your veterinarian.

In Mouse’s case, apparently the best comfort item is a sister named Tammie.
