The illustration will join the list of geoglyphs in Peru, which are one of the biggest mysteries in archaeology due to their quantity and size. Scientists believe these drawings produced on the ground had ritual and astronomical functions. Archaeologists in Peru have discovered a massive drawing of a cat, which lay undiscovered in the famous Nazca desert for more than 2,000 years. Peru’s Ministry of Culture said the design, which is 37 meters long, was hardly visible and was on the verge of disappearing because it is located “on a hill with a steep slope and was subject to the effects […]
I can’t tell you what a balm it was to watch Michelle Pfeiffer talk to a cat. That’s literal and figurative, as is everything in French Exit, the quirky bisous of a film that closed the New York Film Festival this week. Pfeiffer’s character both is and isn’t actually talking to a cat, just as this is and isn’t a celebration toasted to a major gala presentation of cinematic note. Who needs to walk out of Lincoln Center into the first crisp winds of autumn when you can just watch Michelle Pfeiffer belittle a cat while reclined on the couch in […]

A video shared on Instagram features an energetic Goldendoodle puppy trying to engage in play with a cat. The puppy is so ultra-active that it seemingly can’t take control of itself, bumping into the cat several times in failed attempts to jump over it. Meanwhile, the cat doesn’t seem to like the game very much and does what it can to repel the puppy’s playful “attacks.” Warning: The video has strong language […]

Gladly, modern technology provides plenty of opportunity for this highly-relaxing procedure. An amusing cross-eyed cat wearing a stripped sweater has been filmed while receiving a head massage with a special electronic massage device. The feline’s utterly relaxed and somewhat goofy expression on the snout says it all – the device must have hit just the right spot. Source link

But there are many instances where the two can be seen enjoying each other’s company as well. An adorable video of a cat and a dog is going viral on social media, where the two can be seen in a playful mood. While the kitty is sitting in a corner silently in the video, the little pup goes up to it and begins playing with it. The video, with 12,000 views, has been […]

A video shared on Instagram recently shows a golden retriever being hit by a beautiful grey and white cat. “When your girlfriend is an Aquarian and hits you for no reason,” the author captioned the scene. But can we really know what provoked this kitty’s slap? Animals communicate with each other on a different level from us, and maybe the fact that the dog looks guilty […]
A cat that was detained at Sri Lanka’s high-security Welikada Prison on suspicion of smuggling drugs to inmates has escaped, according to local media reports in Aruna. The feline delinquent was detained last week with two grams of heroin, two SIM cards and a memory chip hidden in a plastic bag tied to its collar on the prison grounds. Police suspect that the drug traffickers who trained the cat are part of the same cartel that was caught using an eagle to smuggle drugs in a suburb of Colombo. The menagerie of accomplices were associated with the underworld crime boss Angoda […]
Controversial animal rights organization PETA has sparked a social media backlash after shocking users by posting a grizzly photo of a dissected cat carcass and connecting it with the ‘realistic cake’ meme. The image posted by the US-based organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Twitter contained a close-up photograph of a cat’s head being cut open during a dissection. The graphic picture was accompanied by the words “Not cake,” plus a broken-heart emoji and the hashtag #CutOutDissection. In a follow-up tweet, the group shared the same image, writing “If you find this photo offensive, help PETA,” and […]
An Atlanta family was surprised to receive a voter registration application in the mail for their long-dead pet cat – and the state government is wondering what other kind of fraud “out-of-town activists” are up to in Georgia. Cody Tims, a beloved pet cat who was a venerable 18 years old when he died 12 years ago, received an application to register for mail-in voting earlier this week, according to his owners, Ron and Carol Tims – providing serious ammunition to opponents of mail-in voting for November’s presidential election. “There’s a huge push, but if they’re trying to register cats, I’m […]

A funny video has appeared on Twitter, showing a chubby cat taking a shower. While making a grumpy face, the chubby ball of fur leans its elbows against the bathroom sink like a real boss. It’s, however, difficult to understand whether the furry buddy is angry that he can’t escape the ordeal because of his size or he just wants to look like a […]

However, for Dr. Robert Willis, Dean of Canterbury, who was holding an online prayer for Canterbury Cathedral earlier this week, the appearance of a cat during the morning broadcast might have earned many more viewers than usual. The cat, whose name is Tiger, was caught on camera stealing milk from a mug that stood on a table beside the priest. While Dr. Willis […]

While humans are able to rely on their intelligence, animals are guided by their instincts only. This video is a perfect illustration of an unusual animal friendship taking a turn for the worse. It shows a red-haired cat and a mini pig staying together in a room, surrounded by some toys and a pillow. Suddenly, something goes wrong and the cat slightly punches the mini pig. The latter steps aside, falls on the floor and pretends to be dead – probably in order to avoid […]

A German shepherd has been captured on video sitting on a cat. Apparently, the pets can’t share a couch and they both try to lay claim to it. The cat loses due to its smaller size when the dog just puts its bottom on the feline’s face. After a few seconds of struggle, the cat climbs out of the difficult position and angrily looks right into the camera. Source link

A video uploaded to Instagram recently shows a golden retriever and a white cat lying on the floor, with the cat embracing the dog’s paw. But the scene stops being idyllic as soon as the dog moves its head downwards to sniff the cat’s belly. The feline did not think twice and bit the dog in response. Source link
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has weakened over time and could eventually die out without a vaccine, a top Italian infectious disease specialist recently told British outlet The Telegraph. According to Professor Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at Italy’s Policlinico San Martino Hospital, the virus may have become less dangerous in recent months. “The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity,” he told the outlet. “In March and early April, the patterns were completely different. People were coming to the emergency department with a very difficult-to-manage illness, and they needed oxygen and […]

We pet dogs when they fetch a stick, we give them tasty food when they do tricks we taught them, and we discipline and scold them if they show bad behaviour. A cat has been captured in a funny video lying on a dining table and apparently sleeping. According to the owner, they “usually spray him to make him get down” – but this time the feline was too tired to notice such a minor annoyance. Source link

A little kitten has been captured on video while trying to snatch a fish out of a can. The cat is biting the caudal fin and after several moments, the fish strikes back with its tail. The fish has taught the cute kitten a valuable lesson, never underestimate your adversary simply because it has no arms and can’t breathe oxygen that has not been extracted from water. Source link

While I might have some controversial opinions about cats, there’s one thing I can say for sure: they’re pretty easy to care for. Unlike their canine counterparts, they are easily entertained and don’t require much maintenance. A litter box and a few toys is really all you need. But, if you want to take things to the next level, a cat tree is a great idea. Cat trees are useful for keeping your cat entertained, so they don’t get into your curtains, carpets, and furniture. It also lets your cat be more active, even in a smaller space. To help you […]

But how is it possible not to get along with a golden retriever? In everything from children’s cartoons to proverbial sayings, we hear that dogs and cats never get along. However, is it possible to strengthen the inter-species friendship between these animals? In this video we can see how these animals can get along. Source link
photo by Carol Duff Quarantine Cat Film Fest Will Raise Funds for Independent Theaters Closed by COVID-19 by Katherine J.Wu/Smithsonianmag.com Like other businesses shuttered by the COVID-19 pandemic, independent movie theaters have taken a huge hit in recent months. But these boutique cultural mainstays appear to have found an unexpected ally: the world’s domesticated felines—or, at least, those stuck at home with their tech-savvy humans. This week, the team behind Row House Cinema in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, announced a fundraising bid that doubles as some much-needed feline fun during these troubling times. The first-ever Quarantine Cat Film Fest invites felines and their Homo sapien friends to submit shelter-in-place […]
