Free Hugs, Cat Physics, and Laughing Rats

Laws of Cat Physics -- includes the Law of Cat Composition - A cat is composed of “Matter” plus “Anti-Matter” plus “It Doesn't Matter”.

A game of Cat and Mouse --- is never complete without a dedicated nap time.

FYI - Rats Laugh - AND they LIKE to be tickled.

The Free Hugs Campaign is making it's way across the world. This clip is from NYC - and it has a cat and a dog --- who both get great hugs!



Share a Hug and a Smile...just because you can. Hugs to you ... wendy

Counting Mammals, Oddities, and funny pet pics

Blogging with a purpose: Jennifer Rae Atkins of The Daily Mammal says her goal is to draw every mammal on earth... Should give her blog plenty of legs...

Cheetah - tells all. The chimp who worked with Tarzan, among others -- might need a few more bananas for the retirement account...He's 75....the book is due out this fall.

Clueless in Croatia. Instead of being thrilled the dog is trying to help him, this guy says he can't take the humiliation that his pet dog can catch more fish than he can...??? Says he has no choice but to ditch the dog (for real). The Dog now needs a new home.

Today's cute pics...

Pet News Bites and a Dancing Duck

Florida to Texas in a suitcase....Gracie Mae the cat may have gotten a longer nap than she bargained for. Even went home to the wrong house after a guy mistook the suitcase she comandeered...he says he opened it and realized the clothes weren't his -- the cat darted out and he screamed like a girl.... Must have had a soft heart... he had a name picked out in case the cat was truly homeless... "Suitcase". Gracie Mae now back home napping in Florida.

Don't let a soft heart open you up to online pet scammers... the fav -- the nigerian puppy scam -- asks you to help bail out a purebred pup... just say Delete...

And the Rabbits are still Disapproving!

I love dancing ducks in little red shoes....this one can also count.

And the find of the week ------Diary of a Police Puppy in Training. Adorable.

I Robot - De-iced Chicken - Biker Frog!

This plucky hen is a survivor. Legs bound, wrapped in a plastic bag, she endured 2 days in a freezer and then - an additional 20 minute stint to impress a local news crew... the owner has decided to adopt her as the resident bird. (Hopefully that ends all posing as a frozen entree.)

A woman and her frog.... she says she knew the minute she saw her the two could communicate ... the frog had a chick in her mouth and the woman told her to drop it... it dropped. The friendship was cemented. Check out the frog on her mini Harley.

Here's a Doggone puzzle. Is he real? The Dog Robot amazes 3 year olds... It's a start. : )

How Good a Dog Trainer are You?

Try your luck...(won't say hand)
at teaching this dog to Drool on Cue.


Warm Fuzzies in the News...

...Cheers (a lifetime of free pet food would be even better).....for the Dog who bit her owner's feet until he got out of bed...and out of a burning house.

A decision to let baby bears die rather than feed them... is not exactly what you would expect given the decision maker represents a Zoo.

Hamsters and Clams made contributions to Science in 2007....drafted for the cause in projects that (unfortunately, but understandably) ended up on the Ig Nobel list.

Finally, move over lol cheeseburger -- here comes lol hotdog....

Pet News Bites - Misc. Odd

Pet NewsBites - potluck

Things that make you go hmmm. A woman found a lost dog - gave it as a Christmas gift to her daughter...then sent an apology... and 20 dollars.

A cat locked in a garden shed for 2 months -- survived by licking condensation on the windows.

Where to go... Need a litter box magnet. They say it works for cats. Cat Attract.

Not for the faint of Heart -- this vid is about the new trend of Taxidermy for family pets.
