4 Parrots on a Road Trip Have Parents Wondering Who’s Asking, ‘Are We There Yet?'
If you've ever taken a road trip with your dog or cat, you know it takes a little planning. Traveling with four Parrots? That's a whole different level of preparation.
For Wendy Albright (@theparrotlady), every road trip includes four feathered passengers, each with a designated seat based on their own personality. After seeing the setup, plenty of viewers couldn't help but wonder which one was asking, "Are we there yet?"
Check out the well-planned ride in this July 28 TikTok:
@theparrotladyHave parrots, will travel 🤩 When you have animals and travel extensively, you either hire someone to take care of them or you bring them along. They all seem to enjoy it and I believe it’s much better than leaving them to sit in cages while I’m gone 🤩 #parrots #roadtrip #adventure
♬ un homme et une femme - 🎀Like any family road trip, every passenger has their own quirks. Albright explains that Sweet Pea and Ruby ride up front because they occasionally get carsick. She later shared in the comments that it looks much like it does in people or dogs, and the first time it happened, she thought something was seriously wrong. According to Bird Tricks, motion sickness varies from Parrot to Parrot. While some birds tolerate long car rides without issue, others need some help adjusting. The avian care experts recommend starting with short 15-minute practice drives before attempting longer road trips so you can see how your bird responds and help them gradually become more comfortable traveling.
Meanwhile, Brody rides in the back because he'll happily chat for the entire drive, while Thyme prefers a little extra privacy. Part of her carrier is covered to help keep her calm because passing shadows can make her nervous.

Viewers couldn't get enough of the adorable travel crew.
"Does Brody say, 'Are we there yet'?" asked @CyndysSweets.
Albright replied with an even funnier answer: "He usually starts calling the dog when we get close 😂."
Another viewer, @TequilaBird, joked, "Who calls shotgun?"
"I wish I was on this fun road trip. They are all so precious," another commenter wrote.

And if this video left you smiling, here's another recent favorite from Albright featuring Ruby and her striking look-alike friend, Esmeralda:
@theparrotladyAm I seeing double? Can you tell me which one is Ruby? Yesterday, my friend @Oswald the Too brought her Eclectus, Esmeralda, over for a visit and the two parrots just hit it off 🤩 Do you think we need to schedule another play date?
♬ som original - 🍄For many pet parents, simply getting one anxious traveler into the car can be a challenge. Watching four Parrots calmly settle into their assigned seats shows that, with a little planning and an understanding of each bird's personality, road trips can become an adventure everyone can enjoy.
Itty-Bitty Yorkie Converts Her Water Bowl Into a Full-On Water Park: The Patio Is Soaked and She Does Not Care
I have seen dogs get excited about water before, but this is less "dog enjoys splashing" and more "tiny woman has been permanently banned from the community pool."
Zoe is an absolutely itty-bitty Yorkshire Terrier who has somehow converted an ordinary water bowl into a full-service backyard water park. By the time she's finished, she's soaking wet, the wooden deck is soaking wet, and I'm pretty sure there are neighboring counties experiencing minor flooding.
@zoe_theyorkie😂 oh this girl!#dog #puppy #puppytiktok #dogsoftiktok #yorkie
♬ original sound - somerandomgirl^^The glorious display of complete Yorkie lawlessness was shared by TikTok user @zoe_theyorkie, and the decision to set the entire thing to Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" could not possibly be more appropriate.
Zoe races around the deck before repeatedly attacking her water bowl, splashing, digging and throwing water everywhere with the enthusiasm of someone who just discovered she's tall enough to ride the log flume.
She's soaked.

The patio is soaked.
Presumably, anyone standing within a six-foot radius is soaked.
Zoe does not care.
In fact, Zoe appears to have never cared about anything more in her entire tiny life.
Naturally, people had questions:
- "What is wrong with that chicken?" one person asked.
- "She turned her water bowl into a swimming pool."
- Another viewer offered some practical advice: "That pool is way too small. Needs baby pool asap."
- "I covered my dog's eyes while I watched this, so she doesn't get any crazy ideas inside the house."
- "This is why you are not supposed to wet gremlins."
- "What was in those doggie treats?"
- And then someone asked the question we're all thinking: "What in the Gizmo is going on? Gotta love a crazy Yorkie."
The Gremlins comparisons are extremely compelling, but I have to side with the person demanding a baby pool.
Zoe has clearly outgrown her current facilities.
Yorkies Have Huge Personalities in Tiny Bodies @brookeee009Meet Chewy, the little psycho Yorkie🐶😂 @Chewy #Yorkie #dog #yorkies #dogtok #yorkiesoftiktok #dogsoftiktok #sillydog #wipers #yorkietok #teacupyorkie
♬ original sound - BrookeYorkshire Terriers may be tiny, but nobody seems to have informed them. These energetic little dogs are known for being playful, curious, and incredibly confident, and their terrier roots can make them surprisingly bold for their size.
That combination can result in a five-pound dog behaving like she's just been handed the keys to Las Vegas.
Zoe is a perfect example. She doesn't see a water bowl. She sees opportunity. Recreation. A chance to create memories.
And extensive property damage.
Someone please buy this woman a kiddie pool.

Adorable Golden Retriever is a Total Party Foul at Happy Hour
As many of us know, there are few people who make a better wingman than a cute puppy can. But if he's too tired to do his job, well, it'll be cute but not super effective.
Saint, a sweet Golden Retriever puppy, was recently filmed committing a party foul out at happy hour. The video was shared to TikTok, and fair warning, it's nothing short of adorable and goofy.
@mygoldensaintI’m not tired mom I promise #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenpuppy #boydogmom #dogmom #cutedogsoftiktok
♬ Sweet Nothing Start - TeaganCommenters were totally on Saint's side, chiming in on the video:
- "he’s just a little ham SO CUTE"
- "real footage of me getting sleepy in places"
- "The smushiest baby"
Here's hoping that Saint gets a naptime before his next happy hour so he'll be more up for the hang!
When To Bring Puppies Out of the HomeAs a general rule of thumb, puppies should not be around other animals or outside of a supervised/secure area until they are well over eight weeks of age and fully vaccinated. This is to, of course, protect your new puppy, but also to protect other animals they may encounter out and about.
Up until this fully vaccinated stage, puppies should not be in unfamiliar outdoor areas or around other animals, as they can pick up diseases that can unfortunately be fatal to them. Until it is safe, it's best to keep them at home, and if you must take them out, carry them and keep them off of public outdoor areas.
Once a puppy has full immunity—typically between 18 and 22 weeks—then it's totally safe and encouraged to begin expanding their world. And you definitely should, provided they're not going to fall asleep at the bar, which is cute! But always less than ideal.

Why Dogs Smell Worse in Summer, According to Vets (and the Easy, 3-Minute Fix)
It isn’t just your imagination: your dog does tend to stink a bit more by the time summer rolls around. While it might be easy to think it’s just your canine companion that emits such odor, it’s a universal occurrence that tends to plague most pet parents during this time of year. While the stronger odor might seem too powerful to handle, there’s actually a quick and easy way to fix the stench.
Experts say the summer stink is real, and it's more common than most pet parents realize. Between the heat, the humidity and all that extra time spent outdoors, dogs are practically working overtime to smell this bad. But before you prep your dog for their next grooming appointment, there’s an easier way to freshen them up. The fix isn't complicated, expensive or time-consuming. In fact, it takes about as long as brewing a cup of coffee.

We talked to two experts to find out why this smelly phenomenon happens every single year, and, more importantly, what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: the solution has nothing to do with fancy shampoos or trips to the groomer. It's simpler than that, and you can start today.
Here's what's really going on with your dog this summer, and the easy fix experts swear by.
Our Panel of Experts- JoAnn Parente is the co-founder of Dogs & Cats Rule, a premium pet supplies company, which she and her brother, George Parente, co-founded.

It might be easy to blame your dog's odor on the heat alone, but the truth is, it's a mix of different factors all working together.
According to JoAnn Parente, co-founder of Dogs & Cats Rule, the combination of heat and humidity along with natural skin oils, moisture, and odor-causing bacteria or yeast, creates the perfect environment for smell to build up. If your dog is spending more time outside this summer, especially in and out of water, dirt and allergens can get trapped in their coat and intensify with the humidity. Places like the ears, paws, skin folds, and beneath the collar are some of the prime spots where odor tends to settle in and grow over time.
The Easy, 3-Minute Fix (No Full Bath Required)Galina Zhigalova / Getty Images
It might seem like heading to the groomer is the only way to handle your dog's smell once it starts acting up, but there's a much easier fix you can do from the comfort of your home. The best part? No wrestling your dog into the tub is required.
Emily Halaszynski, the director of education for Bernie’s Best, recommends easy daily hygiene as the best way to eliminate and prevent summer odor, rather than overbathing.
“Simple steps like brushing your dog regularly, consistently brushing your dog's teeth, checking paws, wiping down after outdoor adventures and using pet-safe grooming wipes can help maintain skin, coat and overall hygiene without disrupting their natural balance,” she says. “The goal is to support your dog's skin barrier, which is more than something that needs to be cleaned. It's a protective barrier made of skin cells, natural oils, and a living layer of microorganisms that help keep the skin stable and resilient.”
Rather than forcing them to the groomers or in the tub, these daily steps can help keep them fresh, comfortable and smelling great for longer periods of time.

The Overbathing Trap: Why Weekly Showers Actually Make the Smell WorseKathrin Ziegler / Getty Images
While these steps are simple additions to your daily routine, it’s easy to see (or smell) why you may think you should ramp up your dog’s baths instead. Because of the strong odor, it’s easy to assume your canine needs more time in the tub, but this may make things even worse.
Overbathing strips away your dog's natural oils, which Parente says can make their skin even more hospitable to yeast growth. Bathing too often can also leave skin irritated and more prone to infection. That disruption to their natural oil balance can lead to flakiness, irritation and changes in odor.
Dogs only need baths as often as their coat, breed and lifestyle call for. Overdoing it can actually contribute to the smell, kicking off a cycle of discomfort and odor that's hard to break.
When 'Summer Stink' Is Actually a Medical Red FlagCris Cantón / Getty Images
Even with these hygiene steps in place, some dogs may continue to battle that summer stink. That's when it's time to loop in your vet.
If the smell persists no matter what you try, it could point to an underlying medical condition. Halaszynski recommends watching for warning signs like changes in appetite, visible tartar buildup, discomfort while chewing, skin irritation, persistent scratching, redness or odor that returns quickly after cleaning. Any break from your dog's "normal" habits may be a subtle cue that something more is going on.
It's normal for your dog to pick up a bit of a smell after outdoor adventures, but a consistent, powerful odor is never comfortable, for you or your pup. Build a few simple hygiene habits into your routine to help keep them fresh all season long and beyond. No pet parent enjoys a stinky dog, and chances are, your dog isn't thrilled about it either. They're counting on you to help them through it.

Rescue Dog Willie Celebrates One Year at His New Home, and His Transformation Is Shocking
So many rescue dogs have taken the internet by storm. But one year ago, a sweet puppy who was in absolutely critical care named Willie joined the ranks of pups who have reminded us that there is always hope and that kindness can truly go such a long way.
Willie's mom, Madison Mauch, brought home Willie one year ago when he was picked up as a stray. Willie's little body was riddled with infections and inflammation, and he had fully stopped eating at the time. His condition was so poor that his face was completely raw, and the puppy was effectively blind and deaf.
Thankfully, with proper vet care, plenty of love and time, Willie was able to make a full recovery, and Madison and her husband decided to "foster fail" and make him a full member of their pack.
Willie today is a completely new dog, totally healed, and his transformation will absolutely bring you to tears.
@madisondawnmauchCan you guys believe it’s been a year 🥹 The sweetest dog 🤎 #rescuedog #medicalfoster #rescuepuppy #fosterpuppy #fosterfail
♬ You and Me - Instrumental Version - Eldar KedemWillie and Madison have since welcomed over twenty fosters together and continue to bring more awareness to the necessity of rescue and fostering. It's truly a full circle moment, and we could not be more grateful to Madison for both saving Willie and sharing the whole story with the masses!
How to Prepare for a Medical Foster Photo by Amrit Das on UnsplashPhoto by Amrit Das on Unsplash
While all fosters require tender loving care, it's important to remember that medical fosters are even more fragile and will likely require even more attention and patience than other rescue animals. On top of adjusting to their new way of life, they're also likely in recovery. Making sure you're adequately prepared is critical for your foster's well-being as well as your own.
Some Must Haves for a Medical Foster:
- Set up a quiet, secure space that is easy to clean and is their designated zone
- Keep them completely separated from other animals in the home
- Stock up on anything medically or prescription that you will need from the sanctuary or clinic
- Also stock up on cleaning supplies, towels, disinfectants, and puppy pads
- Make sure you're fully prepared with their medical needs and emergency contact vet
- Familiarize yourself as best you can with their vet instructions
And last but not least, always educate yourself as the foster human! More information is never going to hurt you and will only help your beloved foster on their road to recovery in the long run.

Labradoodle Puppy Who Looks Just Like a Human Has the Internet Mesmerized
Dogs of the same breed might carry similar characteristics in their appearance, but each dog has their own unique facial expressions that you might not notice until you get to know them very well.
And then, there are the dogs like the Labradoodle puppy in the video below, who has such distinctive features that she almost looks like an actual human.
View this post on InstagramThis video was first shared by Sutter Buttes Labradoodles on TikTok but was also shared on their Instagram account and gives us a peek at Bloom, the most precious puppy who has a face that looks like she's staring directly into your soul.
She really does look just like a human toddler. Who wouldn't immediately fall in love with that face?
It's no wonder that in their latest update, the breeder shared that Bloom has officially been adopted and is at her forever home, writing, "Sweet Bloom was just adopted. This little girl will be living her best life near the beach."
How incredible for her! Her new family is very lucky.

Why Do Some Dogs Have Such Human-Like Faces?There are some dogs out there who just look like there's a human inside, trying so hard to get out. Sometimes, it gives very "uncanny valley" vibes and others, it just makes the dog even more cute and lovable (such is the case with this Labradoodle puppy, of course).
But why do some dogs look so much like humans? There's actually a scientific answer to that question!
According to a report from NBC News, a 2022 study discovered that dogs' faces have evolved over time to help them connect better with people. Basically, they've managed to develop facial features that will help us better understand them, and that's made most obvious when comparing the facial muscles in dogs and wolves because dogs can move their faces much faster than their wolf ancestors can.
it also comes down to the kind of characteristics that were favored by people in dogs as they were domesticating them. Through the bloodlines, we've always loved less aggressive, more approachable features — and apparently, ones that we can relate to because we see them in ourselves.

Two Dogs With a Rare Brain Disorder Just Became Best Friends, and the Video Is Pure Joy
Dogs are remarkably good at adapting when their bodies make life a little harder. Fenix, a husky mix known online as the "Happy Dog," has learned to go through the world with a neurological condition that affects his coordination.
Then he met Ivy, a pit bull with the same condition. What happened next looked less like a medical diagnosis and more like two dogs discovering they had found their kind of friend.
🐶SIGN UP to get "pawsitivity" delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾
They found something neither one had to explain: a friend who moves through the world just like they do.
Their "Coordinated Dance" Says a Lot View this post on InstagramFenix's mom, Zoë Lumiere, captured Fenix and Ivy's meeting and shared it on Instagram. The video, which begins with the on-screen text "When two dogs with the same rare brain disorder become best friends ❤️," quickly became a fan favorite.
In the clip, we see the dogs from their initial meeting to their happy and engaged play. By the end of the video, their movement made one fan call it "a coordinated dance."
Another viewer praised their friendship, saying, "This made my heart happy."
There is something wonderfully ordinary about watching two dogs simply enjoy each other's company. They sniff, move around, play and communicate without worrying about whether either one looks "normal."
That may be the sweetest lesson in the entire video. As one fan said, "even the dogs get along."

What Cerebellar Hypoplasia Actually DoesBoth Fenix and Ivy have cerebellar hypoplasia, a rare condition that results in coordination difficulties. Usually, they show as wobbling, stumbling, or exaggerated prancing.
The video is a great example that a neurological condition does not define a dog. Fenix's mother used it to ask people to spread the message that neurological conditions should not automatically be treated as a death sentence.
She also encouraged people to consider special-needs, neurodivergent and senior dogs when looking for their next family member.
The Message Behind the VideoLumiere, who is based out of Ojai, Calif., also runs a YouTube channel where she shares Fenix's story alongside her work supporting grieving pet parents. In her words, the famous Siberian husky mix is a living demonstration that resilience is not about pushing through difficulty but about resting, adapting, and moving forward at your own pace.
Lumiere always stresses that special needs dogs bring more love and inspiration than you can ever imagine.

Cockatoo Turns on the Ultimate 'Psychotic Laugh' After Realizing the Bed Hasn't Been Made
Cockatoos are one of the liveliest, smartest birds in existence. They have spunk, charisma, and a natural comedic gene that makes them some pretty cool companions to have hanging around.
There are more than 20 Cockatoo species, all with their own impressive list of abilities and quirks, but they all seem to have one thing in common: bringing the drama! For instance, one Cockatoo is quite the little diva once she notices the bed hasn't been made, and her "psychotic" laugh is the stuff horror movies are made of:
@randomspotofglitter ♬ original sound - RandomspotofglitterPeaches, the Moluccan Cockatoo, is one hilarious Parrot, and she seems to know it. She's not only stunning with her peachy-tangerine feathers, but her mimicking talents are top notch. Peaches obviously isn't a fan of an unmade bed, so Mom better get to work!
Moluccan Cockatoos differ from the more common Umbrella Cockatoos in color, size, and vocal power. As you can hear with Peaches, she's fully capable of using her voice to its full strength, making her diabolical laugh true movie material.

Cockatoos are notorious for picking up new sounds and making them their own, if only because they get a laugh. With a lifespan of around 70 years, these birds are sure to fill a home with love, laughs, and a ridiculously cute and expansive vocabulary.
Peaches is the real deal in both her gorgeous appearance and larger-than-life attitude. She runs the house and doesn't hesitate to tell Mom when something's not right—even when her hair clip is in the wrong place:
@randomspotofglitterAll because my hair clip was in the wrong place. #getacockatooitwillbefun #moluccancockatoo #cockatoosoftiktok #peachesthemoluccancockatoo #fyp
♬ original sound - RandomspotofglitterPeaches and her adorable rants are the perfect example of what it's like living with one of these intelligent creatures. She's not always screeching, though. Most days, Peaches is happy tagging along with Mom while she works at home. She even wears some cute little harnesses that, you can tell, make her feel so bougie!
Why Are Cockatoos So Loud and Dramatic?A huge reason bird lovers "flock" to rescue Parrot breeds is because of their complex and dynamic personalities. They may be loud at times and require a lot of attention, but it's rooted in their "wild and free" DNA.
A curious Salmon-Crested Cockatoo looks into the camera outside.lovelypeace / Getty Images
Cockatoos are incredibly social, and in the wild, their screams can reach up to 135 decibels, which has been compared to a loud concert or jet engine. This helps them communicate with the rest of their flock (especially about impending danger). They also have a twice-daily scream session at sunrise and sunset that's considered a "roll call," so their flock knows they're safe.
Moluccan Cockatoos aren't for everyone, and they are full-on drama queens at times, but they can also be affectionate with their bonded humans.
Peaches is one smart girl who's learned her "psychotic laugh" gets a funny reaction from Mom, so of course she wants to do it again and again. The next time the bed's not made, there's no doubt that Peaches will react in some comical way, and that's why she's such a star!

The Cleveland Browns Just Made Training Camp the Best Place to Find Your Next Dog
Most NFL fans show up to training camp hoping to spot their favorite quarterback. Not many expect to walk away with a new dog. This summer in Berea, Ohio, both are entirely possible.
The Cleveland Browns are hosting their Puppy Pound event at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, giving fans a chance to meet and adopt puppies during open practice sessions.
Meet Denzel Bark-ston View this post on InstagramThe Browns recently introduced fans to Denzel Bark-ston, a little puppy the team described as a "ball of sunshine."
He's one of the puppies waiting at the Puppy Pound during open camp, hoping that someone will come and give him love and a forever home.
The comments under the post showed how quickly a puppy can become part of the Browns family. One fan joked that Denzel deserved a spot in the starting lineup.
Another added that the organization posting the puppies was one of the best things it had ever done.
Then came the sweetest surprise. Someone shared that they had adopted another puppy and named him Denzel. The fan said, "We adopted a dog from the Puppy Pound on Saturday and named him Denzel!!"
Related: These Six Adorably Named Pattern Pups Are Up for Adoption, and We Cannot Choose a Favorite
The Puppy Pound Has a Bigger JobThe obvious goal of the event is adoption, but there is a bigger impact. Bringing puppies into a busy event like Browns' practice session gives them something they desperately need: attention.
Shelter puppies often wait for months, sometimes even years, before they find someone to give them love and attention. Potential adopters can overlook them while browsing online or visiting a shelter. Shelter photos do not give adopters the full picture of a puppy's personality.
The Puppy Pound brings adoptable puppies in front of thousands of people who show up for a different reason. The extra visibility can lead to conversations, applications, and hopefully, more adoptions.
Since its inaugural season in 2015, Puppy Pound has helped 815 puppies find a home. That is without counting the fan who adopted a dog and named him Denzel this Saturday. Denzel Bark-ston is still waiting for his forever home.
When to GoThe Browns' 2026 training camp began in late July and runs through Aug. 25 at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea.
The Puppy Pound is open during practice sessions, which means several weeks of opportunity remain to visit, meet a pup, and make a decision that will outlast the season.

Grieving Dachshund Finally Meets His New Little Best Friend, and the Tail Wags Are Overflowing
There are few times in my life that have been as sad or as difficult as the times that I've had to say goodbye to a pet I truly loved, especially when that means I'm also watching my other pets go through that same grief.
But there's a rainbow waiting at the end of every storm, and for the grieving Dachshund in the video below who was missing his sister, that rainbow came in the form of a brand new puppy to love.
@fifi.and.coTo watch him grief is heartbreaking. Some days feel lighter, but there are still quiet moments when we can see just how deeply he misses her. Soon, a little girl will be joining our family. (just a few more weeks, hang in with us!) We know she could never replace FiFi, and we would never want her to. But we’re holding onto hope that this new friendship might gently bring George comfort, spark a little joy, and help him find his way back. 🤍 If you’ve ever helped a grieving dog welcome a new companion, I’d love to hear your story. And if you’re cheering George on as he begins this next chapter, leave him a ❤️. Thank you all for your support. It’s been so encouraging. . . . #dachshund #petloss #griefjourney #dog #fyp
♬ Heartfelt Moments - Melody Silver CopperAfter George the Dachshund and his family lost their pup, Fifi, in March, he's been missing her so much — there are plenty of videos that have shown just how sad he's been (and yes, they're probably going to make you cry).
But when his family brought home their new Dachshund puppy, Pippa, it was like magic. They instantly took to each other. Seeing how hard George's tail was wagging while she was sniffing him is everything!
After all they've been through since losing Pippa, this family deserves all this happiness.

How to Help a Grieving Dog HealLosing a pet is one of the most heartbreaking things we go through, and while we as humans are grieving, the other dogs in our household are grieving right along with us.
While we can't explain death to them in words, dogs do understand that their friend is gone, and if they're grieving, you'll likely notice signs like:
- a change in appetite
- an increase in clinginess
- they're sleeping more
- they seem to be playing less
But how can you support your dog in their grief without being able to communicate like you could to another human? According to celebrity trainer Cesar Millan, the best thing you can do is showing them that you can move forward (even though that doesn't mean forgetting the pet you lost, of course).
“The only way a dog gets stuck in the grief is if they live in the grief," Millan told PureWow. "If you project an energy of sadness, that’s how they experience it, but the dog can live on, to be happy-go-lucky. You change the energy to one of joy as you move through it, and the dog will, too.”

Millan also recommends storing the reminders of their old BFF that may still be around the house, as hard as it might be.
"If you have scent and sight of the previous pet, it’s time to put the other dog’s stuff in the garage so the dog can adapt to the new home arrangement," he added.
It's so hard to lose a beloved member of the family, but don't forget that you and your living pup can lean on each other for support (and lots of cuddles).

Gorgeous Brown Ragdoll Kitten Looks Just Like a Real-Life Teddy Bear
It's a known fact that kittens are beyond adorable. Those fluffy coats, tiny paws, soft little mews, and that playful streak of mischief make these feline fur babies irresistible. Some cat breeds even have extra floofy fur that gives them a sort of 'stuffed animal' appearance.
Bubba is a Ragdoll kitten whose feathery, cloud-like coat makes him look like he was plucked from a toy shelf.
@bubbatheragdollsleepy boy #fyp #ragdoll #kitten #sleepy #browncat
♬ My baby my baby - MadZThe TikTok from @bubbatheragdoll featured a close-up of the pretty kitty nestled in a blanket lying on his back. Bubba was enjoying some gentle affection as he cuddled into the cozy comforter with his eyes closed.
Yet Bubba resembled a vintage teddy bear more than a kitten. His adorably round face surrounded by velvety fur gave him sweet, marshmallow-like cheeks, and his ears were fuzzy and tufted, just adding to the plushie vibe.
The sheer volume of the cinnamon fur on Bubba's body completed the teddy bear look, along with those soft and puffy paws.
Followers were instantly smitten with the kitten and wanted one of their own:
- "I could never leave the house," one admitted.
- "If he goes missing, I swear I didn’t take him," another joked.
- "I want a cat this color and I kinda wanna name him Brother Bear," a follower shared.
- "I need one now!! Stat!" someone demanded.
Ragdoll cats are known for their long, silky coat and affectionate personality. This breed comes in many colors, where the most common include:
- Blue – Steel gray on the points and lighter on the body.
- Seal – Dark brown on the points and light tan to light brown on body.
- Lilac – Lilac or pinkish tone of gray on points and milky white on body.
- Chocolate – Milk chocolate on points and ivory color on body.
- Red (Flame) – Orange color on points and a creamy color on body.
- Cream – Pale creamy peachy color on points and white on body.
- Tortie – Tortoiseshell on points, creamy color on body.

Floofy Black Maine Coon Kitten With Orange Eyes Looks Like He Was Born for Spooky Season
I don't care that it's August. The second I see the first pumpkin at the grocery store, I'm mentally finished with summer and ready for Halloween. Bring me the horror movies, ridiculous amounts of candy, chilly evenings and every black cat I can possibly find.
And if Halloween needed an official mascot this year, I would like to nominate this spectacularly floofy black Maine Coon kitten. With his enormous coat and striking orange eyes, he looks like someone took every good thing about spooky season and somehow turned it into one tiny cat.
@mossycottagemainecoonsMossy Cottage Nameko 🍄 Well… I have a confession. 😅 Now listen… I’m usually GOOD at sexing kittens. 😂 In fact, Nameko was the first kitten in a long time that genuinely had me stumped at birth. I even sent photos of her ‘bits n’ bobbles’ to several breeder friends right after birth, and most of them agreed she looked female. Then our vet confirmed female at the first visit… so that settled it. Naturally, we’ve spent the last few weeks talking about “her” future and how spoiled of a little princess she was going to be. Fast forward to the other day’s appointment… I’m happily telling my vet how excited I am for her new family, completely fawning over this kitten, when I glance up and my vet is just… staring at me petrified. I trail off and go quiet… we’re both staring at each other for a second before I manage to get out an awkward “…What?” 🫠 Cue at least 30 seconds of the most awkward eye contact, and she goes… “Well… she has testicles.” 🥜 So, allow us to reintroduce HIM… Mr. Nameko. 😂🖤 Fortunately, his future mom isn’t one to discriminate. Regardless of what he identifies as this week, he’s still going home next week and will be equally as spoiled. 🤦🏻♀️🤣 #mainecoonkitten #mossycottagemainecoons #blackcatsoftiktok #vampirekitten #mainecoonlife
♬ original sound - xiv.The ridiculously adorable little Halloween floof was shared by Maine Coon breeder and TikTok user @mossycottagemainecoons, and I genuinely cannot get over those eyes.
The clip is wonderfully simple. His cat mom holds him up for the camera, allowing us to fully appreciate just how much fluff one kitten can possess.
And then there are those eyes.

Against his completely black fur, they're an incredible warm orange that makes me think of glowing jack-o'-lanterns, autumn leaves and approximately every piece of Halloween decor I'm about to convince myself I need.
He's basically pumpkin spice in cat form.
Apparently, I'm not the only person who thinks so.
"Ooooooooh are these floofs tempting!" one viewer wrote.
"Now that's a Halloween kitty!"
Another person declared, "He's so pumpkin spice."
"I want that baby."
"He's such a handsome boy."
And another admirer simply wrote, "Look at those gorgeous eyes."
Seriously. Look at them.
This little guy doesn't need a Halloween costume. He was born wearing one.
Black Cats Were Made for Spooky Season @mimi_starrReasons why to get a black kitty: It's a black kitty
♬ FREAKED OUT - Fat Papi & prodshushyBlack cats and Halloween have been associated with one another for centuries, although our beautiful feline friends haven't always benefited from the connection. Today, thankfully, plenty of cat lovers have reclaimed the black cat as one of the most delightful symbols of spooky season.
And I completely understand why. There's something undeniably magical about a black cat curled up beside a pumpkin or sitting in a window on a chilly fall evening.
Add Maine Coon ear tufts, an enormous fluffy coat and two pumpkin-colored eyes, and I'm done.
Someone get this kitten a tiny witch hat.
Actually, don't.
He doesn't need it.

Parrot Sleeping in French Bulldog's Mouth Has Everyone Doing a Double Take
I always love a good interspecies friendship, but this French Bulldog and his Parrot pals take camaraderie to an entirely new level.
With one bird sleeping peacefully in Mr. Lu's mouth, two more perched on his back, and his paws wrapped around his Dachshund best friend, it's a cuddle puddle that looks straight out of a Disney movie.
Check it out in this July 31 Instagram from @mr.lu688:
View this post on InstagramMy heart just can't take the cuteness. French Bulldogs are known for their gentle, social, and affectionate personalities, but this sleepy little crew takes things to another level. While it's not unusual to see two dogs cuddled up for a nap, adding three parrots into the mix is something else entirely—especially when one appears to be performing a dental exam.
Related: German Shepherd Patiently Endures Duck's Hilarious Ballerina Routine
Fans couldn't get enough of the unusual nap time arrangement.
One person joked, "White noise and blackout curtains...that bird must work night shift."
Another quipped, "I also enjoy a heavy blackout shade when I sleep."
Meanwhile, @stayhumanindustries had perhaps the funniest take of all, writing, "That bird identifies as a CPAP machine."
Can Dogs and Birds Really Become Friends?Interspecies friendships like this one aren't as rare as they might seem. According to the American Kennel Club, French Bulldogs are known for their adaptable, people-oriented temperaments and tend to get along well with other animals when properly socialized from a young age. Their calm, gentle nature makes them natural companions for smaller pets, including, apparently, napping parrots.

For birds, the story is similar. Parrots are highly social and form strong bonds with their flockmates, often extending that affection to other animals and people around them. A warm, still dog who doesn't startle easily? That seems to make for a perfect perch.
If you think this snoozy friendship is adorable, there's even more to love. In another July 26 Instagram, all three parrots happily perch on Mr. Lu's head while he patiently soaks up the attention.
View this post on InstagramFor anyone who's ever wondered whether animals from different species can truly bond, Mr. Lu and his parrot crew are making a pretty convincing case, one calm moment at a time.
Home Depot's Solar-Lit Glass Hummingbird Feeder Glows Like a Work of Art at Night
Parade Pets aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
Why settle for a plain hummingbird feeder if you can get a beautiful one for almost the same price? The Nature's Way Illuminated Top Fill Hummingbird Feeder is just $30, and it creates a beautiful, artistic ambiance both day and night.
The 16 ounce feeder is made of hand-blown glass in bold, vibrant colors. It has an extra wide top to make refilling and cleaning easy. And the hanging basket that holds the feeder has built-in perching rings so hummers can rest while snacking and stay longer.
This hummingbird feeder also boasts a unique feature: a solar powered LED light that illuminates gently at night. The light automatically turns on as the sun sets, and off when the sun rises. Just make sure to set the feeder in a well-lit location so that the light's battery recharges during the day.
The feeder's die-cast aluminum flower ports resist rust, and the silicone gaskets create a tight, leak-free seal.

Frenchie Ignores His Human Completely—Until Someone Opens a Snack Wrapper
Ask a Labrador for attention and you get all of it, instantly. Ask a Frenchie, and you get a side-eye that could end a career.
The video from @bleugrey lays it out simply. Caption: "Bleu gives side-eye while Grey gives his undivided attention! 🤣 It really shows the difference between these two!" The text overlay confirms exactly what's being tested: "Demonstrating the difference between getting the attention of a Labrador and a Frenchie."
Meet the ultimate attention duo. Grey is a Silver Labrador giving you that soulful, "you called my name? I'm emotionally available and ready for cuddles" stare. Bleu is a Blue Frenchie serving up top-notch side-eye, silently judging your life choices while secretly hoping you’ve got the good snacks. One's a golden-hearted people pleaser. The other's a tiny potato with a PhD in dramatic indifference.
@bleugreyBleu gives side-eye while Grey gives his undivided attention! 🤣 It really shows the difference between these two! They are so cute and we love them so much! ♥️ 🐕 🐕 #frenchie #frenchiesoftiktok #labrador #labsoftiktok #fyp
♬ Dai Dai - Shakira & Burna BoyGrey turns immediately. Undivided attention, ears up and alert, and completely locked in the second his name gets called. Bleu does something else entirely.
The side-eye is slow. Deliberate. Barely even a head turn, just enough eye contact to confirm he heard you and has decided not to care.
The comments understood:
"Yes! Pretty sure frenchies invented side eye"
"He's listening… he's just seeing if it's worth the energy to turn his head."
"Not worth the neck muscle strain"
"If they're slightly more intrigued you'll get an ear turned in your direction"
"My frenchie only has one eye and it's strong af 😂"
Related: This French Bulldog's 3rd Birthday Outfit Has the Internet Saying 'She's That Girl'
Then the comment that changes everything:
"But watch how fast a frenchie turn as soon as they hear a wrapper open 😂😂😂 mine could care less if it's anything other than food or snacks lol"
There it is. The one sound that breaks through completely.
"Side eye champions."
Is this actually a Frenchie thing, or is Bleu just built a little differently? One commenter has a theory: he's hearing, he's just deciding if it's worth the effort to listen. Turns out that's basically exactly right.
Why French Bulldogs Are Known for Selective HearingAccording to Frenchie Haven, selective hearing is a real thing, not just something people joke about. It happens when a dog ignores a command in favor of something that’s more attention grabbing, like a treat bag crinkling. That's not the dog being difficult. It just means they're picking whatever matters most to them at that moment.
It's not really about intelligence either. It's more a personality thing, tied to what a dog actually finds worth listening and responding to. A Frenchie who ignores the command "come inside" but spins around instantly for a crinkling snack wrapper - isn't confused about what he heard. He just decided the wrapper was worth it and the request wasn't.
Food's a huge part of that. Dogs pick up on which sounds lead to something good for them, and once that connection is strong enough, it can beat out almost everything else. Which is exactly the situation with Bleu. A wrapper means something real and immediate. A general "hey, pay attention to me" just doesn't hit the same.
The good news is you can work with this instead of against it. According to Frenchie Haven, lean into that food motivation. Treats, given right after your dog performs the command you actually wanted, help build a stronger connection to responding to you specifically.
Distractions matter too. Training somewhere peaceful, and changing things up, instead of doing the same repetitive drill every single time, both help with the kind of selective hearing that's really just boredom in disguise.
Grey remains a very good boy, fully present, always listening. Bleu remains unbothered and nonchalant, unless a wrapper crinkles somewhere nearby. Then, and only then, does he finally break side-eye.

Woman Adopts a ‘Half-Dog Half-Cat’ and He’s the Coolest Little Dude
Shelter animals deserve the world. For many, being in the shelter tends to dim their sparkle, at least for a little while. It's a hard place to be and takes a toll on them, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Staff and volunteers do all they can.
For one "half-dog, half-cat," nothing could ever dim his sparkle. The shelter had him listed as "a little unique," and when his new mom finally got to take him home, she found that to be true immediately:
@user..null“has a big personality.” This was the personality❤️ #crazycat #feralcats #catvideo #fostercats #fosterdog
♬ The Prowler - d_is_for_ditmanMili's new companion is certainly something! Not only is he one of the most unique-looking cats ever, but his personality matches. He meows and screams pretty much constantly, which most people wouldn't love, but Mili simply adores.
His name hasn't been shared yet, but we do know that he's a stunning all-black Oriental Shorthair cat. They have one of the most unique builds in the world, and they're impossible to miss! He's also definitely big enough to be a small dog!
Related: Grey Maine Coon’s Litter of Perfect ‘Grilled Cheese’ Kittens Can’t Get Cuter
Apparently, the neighbors are a little bit scared of Mili's gigantic "half-dog, half-cat," so she's been trying to find a way to make him seem less intimidating. Her first idea might just have been the best one:
@user..nullI fear he’s becoming more famous than me #catvideo #cutecatclips #cutekittens #catcute #smartcat
♬ оригинальный звук - сани́фель💮I'm so in love with this cat. I love how still he's sitting, too, almost like he likes having his tiny hands! They make him feel almost as dapper and distinguished as he looks.
More About Oriental Shorthair CatsThough he definitely looks like a half-dog, half-cat hybrid, this boy is fully a cat. He's just an Oriental Shorthair, which is one of the most dramatic breeds the world has to offer.

Oriental Shorthair cats aren't a very well-known breed; they're large, needy, and their huge ears can make them "undesirable" to many. However, they're amazing! These cats are:
- Friendly.
- Outgoing.
- Adventurous.
- Talkative.
- Intelligent.
Plus, if you ask me, their Dobby ears are just so special! Congratulations to this sweet boy for finding his perfect forever home!

Husky Surrendered Due to Seizure Disorder Escaped Euthanasia in the Nick of Time
Dogs with medical conditions are sometimes abandoned or brought to shelters. People can feel overwhelmed by the responsibility and cost of tending to these canines, or, in some cases, they just don't want to put in the time to give these precious pooches extra care. Sadly, these dogs are left feeling confused and rejected in addition to having to battle their health issues.
Benji the 5-year-old Huskywas surrendered to a shelter because of a treatable disorder and almost didn't make it out.
@arcticrescueBenji’s story almost ended before it really had a chance. 💙 After being surrendered to the shelter because of a minor seizure condition, Benji was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, he was rescued just in time. Now that he’s back on his medication, Benji has been seizure-free and is otherwise a perfectly healthy, happy boy. His only ongoing need is an inexpensive daily medication. This sweet husky has stolen the hearts of his foster family. He loves watching NBA games, going for car rides, meeting new friends at the park, and then coming home to relax. Benji doesn’t need a perfect family—he just needs someone willing to look past a diagnosis and see the incredible dog underneath. Could that someone be you? ❤️ 🐾 Please like, comment, and share to help Benji find the forever home he’s been waiting for. #arcticrescue #huskyrescue #utahdogs #adoptme
♬ How to Save a Life (Originally performed by The Fray) (Instrumental Version) - StudiOkeThe TikTok from @arcticrescue told Benji's story, which thankfully took a positive turn.
"His family dropped him at the shelter because of a minor seizure disorder," the on-screen text shared. "Benji was deteriorating in the shelter. He was saved right before his time was up."
The Husky was placed on the euthanasia list and his days were numbered until a rescue organization saved the sweet pup and placed him in a foster home. Benji is now getting the love and attention he deserves, and his health has greatly improved. He was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, meaning his seizures are not caused by an underlying disease and can be controlled with affordable medication. He is otherwise in excellent health.
"Now that he’s back on his medication, Benji has been seizure-free and is otherwise a perfectly healthy, happy boy," the caption explained. "His only ongoing need is an inexpensive daily medication."
Benji Is a Basketball FanThis canine cutie has a heart of gold and is quite the social butterfly. Benji loves to mingle, play at the park, and keep up with his favorite sports teams.
"This sweet husky has stolen the hearts of his foster family," the caption revealed. "He loves watching NBA games, going for car rides, meeting new friends at the park, and then coming home to relax."
Benji is fully potty trained, has wonderful manners, and can be left home alone. He gets along very well with other dogs and still needs to be formally tested with cats and kids. This friendly fur baby needs a parent equipped to provide the exercise, training, and care that Northern breeds require. Mostly, Benji wants a family that will truly be forever.
"Benji doesn’t need a perfect family," the caption noted. "He just needs someone willing to look past a diagnosis and see the incredible dog underneath."
