Kristy Puchko — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:50:18 +0000

We know what would solve 'The Great Gatsby's' mixed reviews -- replacing the entire cast with cats! Not that we're blaming the acting, we're just saying it would be a movie of cats in tuxedos drinking at parties. Can you even imagine all the shiny objects they would get distracted by? Cat flappers? Cats driving old-timey cars???? If you're having a hard time imagining all this, we made these posters of the 'Gatsby' cast as cats to help you along.

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 08 May 2013 19:16:09 +0000

11 Guilty Pets Who Know What They Did

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:45:51 +0000

There’s nothing surprising about our pets getting into shenanigans when we’re not looking. Sometimes we find the little buggers in the act, and what results is adorably hilarious.

Daily Distraction — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:00:28 +0000

[onescreen item="5062284"] Puppies face a frequent conflict: they want to be part of whatever’s going on, but they’re so, sooooo … (yawn) … tired ………..

Sophisticated Cat Finally Bought a Boat

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:00:06 +0000

The Bjork video above is how it all began. We see a cat dressed in a suit at a table, reading a paper. Eventually somebody had the brilliant idea to provide it with a caption, and a meme was born. Soon Sophisticated Cat took off, and people were using him to wish for all sorts [...]

Daily Distraction — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:00:00 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.

10 Dogs Totally Loving Bath Time

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:55:18 +0000

We’re already aware that cats hate baths. And by that we actually mean cats hate us after we scrub the furballs clean, which doesn’t make for much fun. Luckily, their canine counterparts are such huge fans of baths that sometimes they get overly excited and even more adorable. (We're also holding in tons of aww-ing!)

News Anchor Can't Get Through Fat Cat Story Without Cracking Up

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:25:59 +0000
