Cute Animals

Some very curious chimpanzees had a fascinating response to a UK man's artificial limb, and you’ve got to see it. It is very fascinating to see their obvious curiosity and intelligence. Watch the video to see them react. 

A UK man visiting the zoo with his family slowly lifted his metal leg up to the chimp enclosure so that a chimp could get a look at it. The chimp went crazy and started howling and calling the other monkeys to come look at it. The monkeys stared at it in astonishment and banged on the glass.

If they could have inspected it up close, they would have surely had a heyday trying to figure out how part of the man is made of plastic and metal. Clearly, the chimps don’t know exactly what they're looking at, but they certainly know it's out of the ordinary. When the first one saw the leg, he actually stepped back in surprise. 

Curious Chimpanzees Reveal Their Remarkable Intelligence

In another video, the same man actually takes the limb off as one monkey stares, curious, and comes closer for a better look. The man shows it the stump of his leg and inserts it back into the prosthetic. All the while, the chimps are intensely interested, and one again calls his chimp friends to show them that the man has detached his leg. 

It’s also interesting to see how humans can be just as much an exhibit to animals as they are to us. In this case, the monkeys were interested in looking at this man and his strange body part. 

Chimps are known for their intelligence and curious, wild nature, and this encounter certainly exhibits all of that. Their reactions almost make you wonder what they might be thinking as they examine the man and his false limb. It’s pretty cool to witness.

One woman's kindness and patience win over a scared, feral cat after a lot of swatting and hissing. At first, the cat was not at all open to being domesticated, but slowly, after a lot of time and trust building, he finally began eating out of the woman’s hand. Watch the video to see the neat experience.

It took the woman a whole year to turn him into a house pet. She named him Bruce and initially just left food for him outside. But when she went to see if he would respond to touch, he didn’t give her a chance and swatted her hand away.

He didn’t come back all the time, but when he did, she would leave food on the porch. Eventually, she’d leave the door open with the food inside, and he’d come take a few bites. Slowly, she built trust with him as she fed him more inside the house, and even with a spoon. She put a glove on, and then he began to

eat from her hands.

How She Domesticated the Feral Cat

She eventually trapped him inside, which he didn’t like. He’d jump up on the door or look out the window longingly. He gradually came to be domesticated, but he still didn’t let the woman pet him. So she eventually got a cat scratcher, and he allowed her to pet him that way. Now, he’s a complete pet through and through. 

“He has become such a baby,” the woman said. “He wants me to carry him everywhere and sleeps with me in bed every night, which is very sweet until it’s 7am and he’s standing on my throat screaming for breakfast,” she joked. “I find that I wake up with a smile on my face and I go to bed with a smile on my face.”

Now, Bruce is living the sweet life. He’ll never have to worry where his next meal comes from!

Prepare to be inspired and have all of the feels! This dog video is completely precious. Watch this heartwarming tale of a man who adopts a dog found in a Dollar General.

At the start of this video, we see an adorable small dog running through the aisle of a Dollar General. The man narrating the story shares about his experience seeing this tiny pooch appear out of nowhere. He is petting her and telling her that she is a good girl. We learn that the man’s name is Ray. He talks about how gentle and kind the pup was and how he got her to a secure place while they waited for animal control. 

The man has placed the sweet dog in his shopping cart and is asking the cashier about the entrance of the dog into the store. She explains how the pup just ran into the store out of nowhere. As Ray waits for animal control, he begins to become more attached to this precious furry friend. Animal control is unable to come out, and so Ray is asked to care for the dog until the next day. He responds positively to take the dog home. 

An Unexpected Encounter Turns Into a Forever Friendship

Next, you see the adorable dog cuddling the man in the front seat of his car, headed home. The puppy is giving him lots of kisses at home. He documents caring for the animal by feeding her hamburger and watching a dog show together. The dog laid down on his chest and let out a sigh of relief. The man shares how, in that moment, he realized that this pup was his now. 

Ray finds out that the dog has to remain at the dog shelter until she is processed. It is an emotional departure. Suddenly, he has to wait for weeks to obtain her as his own. He visits her, but it is clearly a hard time of separation. Finally, you see adoption day, and he learns that the dog is his. He brings the little dog home and names her Dolly. He brings the dog everywhere, and you see a clip of him bringing her back to Dollar General. 

This is an inspiring story about having an open heart to care for God’s creatures. It is motivating to watch this man, Ray, in his journey of an unexpected dog adoption. May this man’s love remind us of God’s love for us.

“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” Matthew 6:26

An adorable little mouse cleans up a man's workspace in his garage, and it’s the most surprising thing. The little guy couldn’t stand to have a dirty workspace, so after the man went away, the little mouse would get to work each night cleaning things up. Play the video to see the mouse caught cleaning on camera.

This is just incredible. The mouse has no other goal with his agenda other than to keep things clean and tidy. It is so cute to see the mouse, which they named “Metal Mickey," clean up the workbench and attempt to move objects twice his size. The man originally thought his workshop was haunted. Well, maybe mice have been a little too overlooked when it comes to ghost stories.

Putting His Theory to the Test

After it kept happening, the man, 72-year-old Stephen McKears, would scatter nuts and bolts around the shop as an experiment. In the morning, they would be back in their proper place. So he and his neighbor set the camera to catch the little cleaner in action. 

These kinds of mice are “innately very organized, very neat, and very meticulous,” says veterinarian Dr. Laurie Hess. “It is part of their sort of innate behavior… A mouse may have lived in that environment for a long period of time with those objects around him, and that was part of his environment, and they were moved, and he was putting them back together the way he knew them… but they have a bad reputation as being kind of dirty… They’re actually very clean.”

It’s so cute that this little mouse got to work in this man’s work shed. He was fortunate to catch him on camera. Hopefully, the little critter wasn’t too put off by all the mess. 

And, well, the next time something goes missing or isn’t where you last left it, maybe check for a mouse’s handiwork.

A kind woman takes in a sick and abandoned cute kitten who seemed to be begging for her help. The South African woman, Kayleigh, couldn’t resist taking him after he kept looking at her with his big kitten eyes. Watch the video to see the kitten go from being a sickly little animal to healthy and thriving. 

“It was a very cold, windy day. He was huddled up in a ball,” Kayleigh recalled of the first day she saw her would-be pet, Mowgli. “His mom wasn’t there, and no siblings… The next day I went to work, and he was in the same spot.”

She Decided to Step in and Help

At that point, she knew she had to help him. He never ran away but just waited patiently, making eye contact with her in a way that, to her, pleaded for help. She took him home and to the vet. He had worms and was very ill.

It wasn’t until a few months later that the little cat started looking healthy. And at that point, he, Kayleigh, and her boyfriend were deeply bonded. 

Kayleigh’s brother passed away last year, so Mowgli brought her a lot of comfort just when she needed it most. 

Now, Mowgli loves his life in their flat and often plays with his cat friend, Bam Bam. His owners now have two other cats and a puppy, which is not something they ever expected would happen. They also foster cats. It’s amazing to think their love for animals all started with little Mowgli, who just happened to be near Kayleigh’s workplace. 

“Mowgli has taught us so much about how cats can be such amazing companions and how they have the potential to give back to humans if you just apply some understanding and learn to treat them softly. A feral cat can learn to love with the right environment,” Kayleigh said… This video certainly shows that this is true.

A very special, friendly horse helps a woman during her cancer battle, and it is the sweetest thing. The horse is like a big puppy–their relationship is that special. Watch the video to see what we mean!

Australian native Rachel Vercoe met her horse, Willow, when Willow was only one year old, and bought her a few years later. Willow had never been ridden before, but after a little bit of training and almost instant bonding, she let Rachel ride her. The woman and her horse have been inseparable ever since.

Their relationship became especially important when the friendly horse helped the woman through her journey with breast cancer. 

“It’s just so unreal to be able to experience that kind of partnership with something that can be so wild and powerful,” Rachel said. ” Willow must have known that something wasn’t quite right, because she was so gentle and responsive, and I felt like she was taking care of me on our rides” 

Whenever she had her chemo treatment, the first thing she would do afterward was go see Willow. Being with Willow made her feel good in times of difficulty. 

The Power of Friendship

Rachel didn’t grow up with horses, but she always loved them. Willow completely changed her life. She means more to her than anyone, and even thinks of her as the “greatest love” of her life, and feels blessed that they found each other. 

It’s wonderful that Rachel had this loving companion by her side during her treatment. Seeing the friendly horse helps the woman, and loving her as best an animal can is so endearing and encouraging. Willow was exactly what Willow needed while she endured the tough, year-long treatment. 

Now Rachel is officially free of cancer. She spends her time taking photos, riding, and petting her horses. Hopefully, she remains healthy in the future. But no matter what happens, she knows she has comfort through her constant companion, Willow.

If you ever visit Taiwan during busking hours, you just might meet a singing cat. There’s a group of street performers who regularly incorporate a cat into their singing performance, and he is really the star of the show. You’ve got to watch this video and see it for yourself. 

It’s not every day that you see a cat joining street performers in song. At different points in the busker's performance, they hold up an orange and white colored cat to sing “meow,” which he does very well. It is very amusing and makes you feel like you wish you could be there in real life to see it. It is its own kind of street act.

Another cat owner previously shared a video of her and her cat singing “A Whole New World.” Every time she’d sing a part and trail off, the cat would chime in with an adorable “meow” just in time. The kitty cuddles her as she sings, and sings to her like her singing. It’s so cute to watch and listen to them together.

This Dog Won't Be Outdone

And if you like singing cats, you’ll probably like singing dogs, too. There’s a couple in the UK who own a dog named Alfie, who looks like Fabio when his ears are brushed and has a howl that sounds like he’s trying to sing opera. When he’s grumpy, he will also make a strange whining noise and make all sorts of other growls and sounds. 

“You just don’t know what you’ll get. You might get a bit of an F1, you might get a bit of a moo, or you might get the full-blown Sydney Opera House Alfie and Pavarotti,” one of his owners said. 

It is so cool to see these animals, and that cat joins those street performers in song. It’s one of those things that you just don’t expect to ever see.

Get ready for total cuteness! Watch as these raccoon kits climb single-file to mama. 

At the start of this video, we see a regular backyard fence. On the fence is an unexpected view as raccoon kits climb to mama. The multiple black, white, and gray animals are stacked on top of each other like something out of a movie. They are climbing with all of their might up the fence post. You see the first raccoon do his best and slide a little on his way up the post.

Suddenly, the mama raccoon appears and reaches down to help her kit up with her mouth. The first kit is safe and sound at the top of the fence with mom. You watch as three other raccoons are striving to get to their mother. The second raccoon is even stronger than the first and essentially gets to the top all by himself. It is adorable to view.

It's a Strong Reminder of the Importance of Motherhood

The mama and the first raccoon begin the journey westward on the fence as the second raccoon gets to the top. The little third raccoon makes it as the final raccoon, working so hard to catch up with his brothers and sisters. The mother slowly moves forward while glancing back to check on her young. 

As the final baby is striving to get to the top, the mother turns all the way around and climbs over her kits to get to him. Right as she arrives, the kit reaches the top. She continues over the babies and heads down the fence. One baby falls off the fence again, and they pause to wait for him to get back up. Watching these raccoon kits climb to mama is touching. Motherhood requires a lot of patience,e and watching this raccoon mama reminds us of the love and care that a mother has for her babies and the love that a baby has for his mama.

“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Proverbs 17:6

This dog duo’s sneaky cake theft is comedy gold. The pair of pups worked together, combining their efforts to get the sweet treat into their possession. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how these two dogs managed to pull off this daring and laugh-out-loud funny cake heist.

Dogs are, as has been said many times before, man’s best friend. Canines are some of the most loving, loyal and tender-hearted creatures on Earth. Have a bad day? Your furry, four-legged friend will be right there waiting for you. Have a good day? Well, that dog will be in the same spot as you walk in the door. Is there anyone who does not love dogs?

While we all love dogs for all the above reasons, not everything about them is perfect. For instance, some may put up quite a fight when it’s time to go out for a walk. While that is absolutely annoying and beyond irritating, there is still one typical canine action that is even worse. Dogs can be quite the beggars, as they sit and watch closely as you chow down on your evening meal or midday snack. No one wants that.

Well, in a clip posted on YouTube, two dogs, instead of resorting to begging, decided to help themselves. Both spotted the target: a mouth-watering red velvet cake, and then hatched a plan, which hopefully ended with it in their grubby little paws and mouths.

After closely watching where their owner placed the delicious cake, the pair of pups put their plan into action. As one might expect, one of the dogs remained near the woman as she enjoyed a piece of cake, keeping an eye on her and distracting her.

This happened while the other pup was in the kitchen, putting its ingenuity and creativity to use, working until the cake was secured.  Once the cake was in their possession, they took off to enjoy the object of all their effort and work.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

You may not be prepared for this level of kitten cuteness. The way in which the tiny Black cat responds to the person petting it is absolutely adorable. Watch the short but precious clip to see what the kitten did that is almost too cute to handle.

There are a lot of things on this Earth that will cause people to spontaneously remark on its level of cuteness. Of course, you’ve no doubt heard people state how cute or adorable something is, and more than likely, you’ve done it a time or two yourself. There are just some instances and situations in which that is the only appropriate reaction.

While all of that is entirely true, one could argue that there is something, one thing, that makes people respond and comment about how cute, precious and adorable something is more consistently than anything else. Of course, you and I both know that that thing is tiny animals, specifically kittens. Sure, people love and adore puppies, ducklings and every other baby animal, but kittens will forever and always come out on top.

One short clip shows why this is and always will be the case. Also, if you do not believe in the inherent, overwhelming and abundant cuteness level of kittens, well, this is the clip that is sure to convince you.

The video is of a kitten on someone’s lap as it is being scratched and rubbed. Periodically, the person will remove their hand from the kitten and make a claw-like motion, and hilariously, the kitten mimics that movement each and every time.

Even if you consider yourself a dog person and are completely opposed to cats, there is no denying that that is one of the cutest things you’ll ever see, ever. Also, there is absolutely no way you will be able to watch the clip just one time. Likely, it will have to be viewed three to five times in order to take in and grasp all the cuteness.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Meet the feline taking museum security very seriously. Anyone hoping to cause a ruckus or incite mayhem in a Brooklyn museum will soon be confronted by an adorable, furry, four-legged security guard. Watch the short, but heartwarming, and hilarious clip to hear how this black-and-white kitty became a museum security guard.

The world is a lost and fallen place, full of people who, unfortunately, are set on bringing about devastation and destruction. This attitude, desire, and mindset have never made sense to me, but we all know it is entirely too real. For some people, it does not matter what or who they hurt, so long as things are worse after they encounter them.

Because there are people with nefarious and devious desires in this world, security and protection are certainly needed. An entire career field - security and law enforcement- is now abundantly and wholly necessary because of this, with really two big aims: to protect the innocent and potential victims from harm and catch the offenders.  

When most people think of law enforcement and security, they likely immediately think of the men and women who work as law enforcement officers and in the military. But that is certainly not all; locations often hire security officials, including a Brooklyn museum that has a cat on its security team.

According to the video posted on YouTube, the cat protects the museum’s bone room, where many skeletal remains are housed. Apparently, this was something that urgently needed protecting and this adorable, four-legged security pro was one for the job.

Now, you’re likely wondering about the feline’s name. What does the feline security official go by? What do his co-workers call him? Well, hilariously, and most appropriately, the cat is known as “Bone Jovi.”

Security can be dirty and even a hairy job, but somebody has to do it, and Bone Jovi puts its life on the line every day to protect that collection.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This feline’s great escape is comedy gold. How easily and unexpectedly the cat gets out of its carrier will have you doubled over in laughter. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how and when the cat makes its daring and laugh-out-loud funny break for freedom.

Animals are, without a doubt, among the best creatures on Earth. It’s impossible to say or argue otherwise. How and why would anyone say that they aren’t? What possible argument could someone make that would make people love and adore animals any less? That jury is not out on this one; it has long been decided that animals are absolutely fantastic.

One of the many reasons that makes animals so darn great is all of the unexpected funny things they do. Honestly, who doesn’t want more reasons to laugh and smile? Just when you think you’ve figured out exactly how your pet will react and respond in any given situation, be prepared because that’s when they are sure to surprise you with their antics and hijinks. Likely, what happens next will have you doubled over with laughter, struggling to catch your breath.

One clip of a cat’s unexpected escape will do just that to you. In the short 11-second video, the camera rests on a cardboard cat carrier sitting in the backseat of a vehicle. As this is happening, a woman is driving along, and everything seems normal, going as expected. But only moments later, that was hilariously disrupted.

The feline apparently had had enough of its container, believing it was the perfect time to break out and check out its surroundings. The animal quickly pokes its paw, then its head, through a tiny opening in the box.

Hilariously, the cat momentarily stops and stares directly at the camera, as if it understands that its daring escape has been captured, but that did not stop it from busting all the way out of the carrier.

If you were the driver, how could you look into the rearview mirror, see that and not burst out laughing?

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A cat stole the show with an unexpected appearance during a play. The feline apparently saw an opportunity to get some attention, to spend some time in the spotlight, and seized it. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what the scene-stealing cat did that will have you cracking up.

As most people know, animals have a mind of their own. Most of them will do what they want when they want. While this is true in many cases, as with everything in life, there are exceptions to the rule. Some of our animal friends, like dogs, have much more pliable wills than others. Tempt a dog with a treat, a walk or even a few scratches on the head, and you can probably get them to do just about anything.  

But there are other animals whose wills cannot and will not be changed or influenced. Of course, every pet owner knows that I’m speaking of cats. Felines are, without a doubt, the strongest-willed, most hard-headed beings on God’s green Earth. No amount of begging or pleading is going to get a cat to do what it does not want to do.

When a cat wants attention, they want it now and will find a way to get it. In a clip posted on YouTube, one feline found an unusual and hysterical way to get that much-desired attention. It decided that it was going to walk out onto the stage during a production of “Romeo & Juliet.”

The video shows the attention-seeking, show-stealing critter on stage as it pulls and tugs on the hair of the actor who is playing Romeo. At one point, instead of simply walking off the stage, the cat literally lies down, sitting next to Romeo.

That’s just a cat being a cat. Anyone who has ever had one is not surprised and understands that this is something a feline would absolutely do.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

These clever pups pull off a hilarious sandwich theft. They desperately saw some food they wanted and found a hysterical way to get it in their possession. Watch the short but uproarious clip to see how these two canines worked together to fill their stomachs with their owner’s sandwich.

Typically, thievery is not something that is or should be laughed about and looked upon favorably. It’s against a whole host of laws, including the 10 Commandments. Not only that, but one could argue that laughing at or taking it lightly whenever something is stolen might even encourage more of that illegal activity.

Yes, stealing, taking anything from someone else by means of force or deception, is wrong. However, much like the English language, there are exceptions to every rule. Now, I’m not pro-theft or anything of the kind, but when animals are the suspects, it's always funny, regardless of the situation or what is taken.

Every pet owner completely understands how hilarious it is when Fluffy unexpectedly makes off with your omelet, chicken leg or gets into your morning coffee. You can’t do anything but laugh when your pet decides to help themselves. A clip posted on YouTube shows what happens when two dogs work together to get their paws on their owner’s sandwich.

Their nefarious sandwich-stealing activity began when they both spotted the sandwich at the same time. It’s like they immediately know what the other is thinking when they see their owner walk with her plate of food. They must get her sandwich and will stop at nothing to make it happen.

Their plan, while simple, requires an incredible amount of speed. One moment, one of the dogs is sitting in the living room, and the next, it is outside ringing the doorbell, wearing a questionable disguise to create a diversion. When she goes to answer the door, that is their chance to snag the sandwich, and it hilariously works to perfection!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A pair of dogs locked their owner out and took over the house in this hilarious skit. The pups saw an opportunity to take control, and they seized it. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how these pups got their owner out of the house and what they did once they removed her and were finally free to do what they wanted.

All pet owners love and adore their animals. For the most part, there isn’t anything pet owners wouldn’t do for their animals. That’s what you do for those you love, right? Love will make you do crazy, inexplicable things at times. Love is very powerful, that is for sure.

Now, all of those same pet owners want to believe that the love and adoration they have for their four-legged, furry friend is reciprocated by the animal. We all know, or at least hope, that our animals love us as well and that they would do anything for us, too. But is that really true? Does Fluffy have an unending, undying love for us? Or is Fluffy just slowly plotting and waiting for the moment when it can take over and assume control of the house?

In a clip posted on YouTube, two pups, who had apparently been waiting for the opportunity to seize control of the house, saw their moment and took it, not hesitating for a second.

Hilariously, the dogs worked together to push the woman outside and then lock the door once she was finally out of the structure. Then, the big question, at least for the dogs, anyway, becomes, what do you do with that newfound power? Well, they had some ideas.

For starters, they decided they were not to go to their upcoming vet appointment. It was erased from the calendar, and instead, it was filled in with going to a nearby dog park – a much more pleasant and enjoyable outing.

But the dogs don’t have control of the house as long as they’d hoped. Their reign is rather short-lived, and I can only imagine the kind of trouble they likely found themselves in.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A family of bears took over the playground, and it’s adorable. The wild animals had an absolute ball while enjoying the playground equipment. Watch the short but precious clip to see a family of bears enjoy some time together on the playground.

Everybody has memories of the playground from childhood. Most of the memories are likely pleasant and enjoyable, moments of zooming down the slide, catching a dizzying ride on the merry-go-round or soaring to new heights on the swings. Others may not be so great, especially if the playground resulted in a scraped knee, a sprained ankle or another injury. But that’s kind of life, right? We take the good with the bad.

Whatever your experience was with the playground, it hopefully did not involve enjoying the equipment with massive members of the wildlife community. Sure, that might be a fun and interesting story to tell later, but in the moment, that would have been more than a little frightening. In fact, if there is a large creature such as a bear on the playground equipment, it’s probably a good idea to vacate the premises and let them have it all to themselves.

In a posted clip, a family of bears was captured enjoying the playground equipment. They were just like passing through either. The momma bear and her three cubs were using the slide and a couple of the swings. It was an unbelievably cute display.

I’m also guessing that the four bears probably got that equipment all to themselves and for as long as they wanted, too. There is no one who is going to walk up to a bear and try to tell it that they’ve had plenty of time with it, and it’s time to give someone else a turn. That is not going to happen.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

This precious kitten proves that persistence pays off. The adorable tiny feline refused to give up and throw in the towel. Watch the short but incredibly cute clip to see how a small cat armed with a ton of determination conquered an obstacle and finally, eventually, made it to the top.

Not every moment in life will give you warm, fuzzy feelings. No one leads a picture-perfect, Hallmark movie life. Things don’t always work out perfectly, with everyone hugging, smiling and sipping coffee while sitting near a warm, toasty fire on Christmas Eve. That may look good on the movie and television screens, but that’s not true to life at all.

The reality is that life is messy, unpredictable and challenging. Things don’t always go as we believe they should. No, instead there is pain, hurt and many ups and downs. To do much of anything in life requires a fair amount of persistence, determination and perseverance. Getting knocked down and failing are going to happen, so it’s best to get used to those unfortunate but undeniably real parts of life.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a cute, sweet little kitten demonstrated a ton of grit and a refusal to give up as it tried to scale a closet. Its buddy was able to climb up the closet with relative ease, but the tiny black-and-white cat had a much harder time of it.

The kitten tried and tried again, and every time, it would find itself falling down and eventually back on the floor. However, this cat was going to make it up there, if it was the last thing it ever did. When it failed to reach the top, it simply got back up and tried again.

Eventually, the cat overcame the challenge and reached the top. Now, it just has to figure out a way to get back down, which may prove to be even more difficult.

Hebrews 12:1 “For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,”

You won’t believe how this pup reacted to a squirrel. The dog had a most unexpected response to a tiny, cute, woodland critter in this hysterical skit. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what this dog did that, without a doubt, you have never seen a canine do before, especially when a squirrel is present.

Canines make for wonderful, truly excellent pets. I don’t think anyone would say otherwise. However, many would go a step further and say that dogs are the best pets anyone can have. But I would guess that those who consider themselves “cat people” would argue vigorously otherwise, believing that felines are by far the superior house pet.

Regardless of where you fall on this highly divisive and polarizing topic, dogs and cats, despite their many differences, do share similarities as well. For instance, they can both be incredibly sweet and affectionate. Additionally, they all seem energized by tiny creatures, as if a predator instinct kicks in when they spot a bird or a squirrel. Most of them become instantly crazed and incredibly focused on the tiny being.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one canine took a completely different approach after seeing a curious, hungry squirrel outside. The dog, instead of jumping about and beating on the window, had a very pointed and direct message for the miniature critter. Of course, the dog was excited by the squirrel’s presence, but it gave the squirrel a warning, urging it to make itself scarce and scram.

In surprisingly good penmanship, the canine wrote, ordering the squirrel to “leave.” If that wasn’t clear enough to the squirrel, the canine then added a threat to its message, writing “or else.”

Apparently, the squirrel got the message and left, but not before registering its displeasure with the dog’s threat. An acorn, thrown by the squirrel, strikes the window.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

This goat found the funniest use for solar panels. The animal spotted the solar panels and saw an opportunity to have a good time. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see the animal having some fun with solar panels.

Animals are wonderful creatures, and I don’t think that is a controversial statement. Most people would wholeheartedly agree that they are among the best parts of living on this planet. Animals make life a better, fuller and richer experience in every way imaginable. Who would or could argue otherwise?

While most people love animals, they are not always easy to deal with or handle. Dogs, cats, rabbits and every other domesticated animal have a mind of their own, and can be extremely strong-willed and hardheaded, as every pet owner knows well. Cats, in particular, are known for their inability to listen or take direction. They are going to do what they want, and no amount of begging or prompting from you will change that.

Hilariously, as it turns out, goats can also be a tad stubborn. In a posted video, a goat has found its way onto a solar array. Not only does it stand on the expensive solar panels, but it runs, jumps and even does a sort of dance number on the large, expensive item.

Throughout the clip, the goat’s owner begs and pleads with the animal to come down off the panels. But much like someone trying to get a feline to do something against its will, the goat refuses to budge. Instead, the goat continues to have an absolute ball, prancing up and down the panels, surely causing damage.

Eventually, the goat even begins talking back, not wanting to come down because it is simply having way too much fun. This shows that most animals do what they want, and there isn’t much we can do to change that.
