Cat

Just like humans, many animals like to play, including dogs, cats, ravens, and even herring gulls. And it’s important for them to know how to play, since this behavior helps them be more psychologically flexible. Not only that, but knowing how to play and interract with other beings prepares them for future aggressive encounters.

Making their owners gush is an ability every pet has from birth. But everything has a reverse side and, in some cases, a fluffy cute animal can look like a character from a horror movie in photos. The good thing is that instead of starting to panic, pet owners can grab their cameras and please the Internet with funny photos.

The angle from where a photo is taken can define the whole picture. The chosen perspective can make certain parts disappear, and it can also make some objects look like they are defying logic. These images often confuse our brains, but it can also be quite fun to figure them out.

The expression “Not everything is what it seems” perfectly describes the pareidolia phenomenon. It happens when you look at your cat’s toe beans, and a nose is all you can see, for example. Although it might take you aback at first glance, it’s quite an amusing experience.

The games begin when the universe challenges our perception of reality. That is, when a tiny kitten suddenly takes on the shape of a hybrid with huge paws, all because of the angle at which its photo was taken. It’s as baffling as it is fascinating. Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of puzzles, these real-life optical illusions are the recipe for a good time.

Unlucky, bad things don’t always happen on Friday the 13th or after you’ve crossed paths with a black cat. We all get unlucky from time to time and it’s nothing but a matter of circumstance. No, we may not be thrilled about how things go, but all we can do is move on.

Perspective plays an important part in the way our brain translates what our eyes are seeing. That’s exactly how people end up mixing up a cat’s tongue for luscious lips. It sounds a bit weird, but the photographic evidence for this sort of phenomenon is nothing short of fascinating.

A picture might be worth a 1,000 words, but an endearing one is priceless. When you’re having a tough day, the image of a baby cuddling a cat can do wonders to reassure you not all is bad. Thankfully for us, social media allowed for these kind of pics to be shared across the world.

There are so many cute things around us — think of a tiny bunny, or a kitten, or even both of them playing together. That warm fuzzy feeling that most of us get made scientists wonder what makes someone or something cute. They came to the conclusion that we feel this way when we see baby-like features, even in animals, and it has its roots in evolution.

A Sphynx cat transforming into a turkey in under one second, a skyscraper as thin as paper — these instances might challenge your subconscious and give your brain a real puzzle to solve. You’ll probably need some time to digest the following images because, as unreal as they may seem, none of them have been photoshopped.

A cat whose fur pattern lines up flawlessly or a game console that fits in a shelf like a puzzle piece. These findings calm the soul of anyone who loves tidiness and organization. For those who don’t care about being neat, they’re still visually pleasing. It’s a win-win!

Some animals win our hearts faster than lighting. Their kind and endearing nature even has the power to make us question how we treat others. From a cat that tightly snuggles its rat pal to a dog that makes sure its sister pup can safely use the doggie door, animals constantly show us what unconditional love is.

Adopting a pet is a big step for a family — it can totally change its dynamic. One thing is for sure: our pets can multiply our happy feelings day in and day out. Some dads were firm about not wanting to adopt a cat, a dog, or a bird, and they all had their reasons for it. That is, until they snuggled with their new furry friend on a warm couch, feeling their love.

Having a furry best friend is wonderful because every day is a new adventure. Even though you might know them like the palm of your hand, they still find ways to surprise us. Whether it’s catching your dog red-handed up on the kitchen countertop or realizing your cat was napping inside a drawer, animals are masters at doing the unexpected.

Taking a perfect selfie with your cat, adopting a dog after years of wishing for one, or simply waking up next to your furry best friend — these are all little moments in our lives that we wouldn’t trade for anything else. All these snapshots have the power to give us the shivers and turn our frowns upside down.

In a day and age where all we know is touch-and-go, it’s good to take a moment to appreciate life for how extraordinary it can be. It’s true that a loving elderly cat hugging its new owner isn’t something you see every day, but that’s the beauty of photography and social media. Combined, they let us live and relive everyday moments that never fail to make us smile.

On rare occasions, the game Where’s Waldo? jumps from the pages of its books straight to the real world. But this time, you aren’t looking for Waldo; you’re just trying to find your cat around the house or wondering why your body lotion perfectly blends in with your bathroom tiles. And it’s crazy how random yet mind-blowing these accidental camouflages can get.

Being moved by something’s cuteness and laughter are definitely among the best feelings out there. Today’s heroes are the embodiment of both: a doggo who stole all the hoagie rolls that could fit in his mouth, a boy chosen by a dozen cats to be their chair, a little girl unsuccessfully trying to hide under a bucket, and many more.

A cat’s toe that looks like a human nose, a frozen windshield resembling a majestic Nordic landscape, or an egg that has two shells — some things in nature are so mesmerizing. It’s as if it actually decided to have a little fun and surprise us with its creations.

Animals are extremely cute, but understanding them can be a tough challenge. Some of their habits that we’ve gathered here are great mysteries, like, for example, a doggo that doesn’t bite people but bites their shoes, or a cat that chooses to sit in his water bowl instead of drinking from it.

Some animals are true rebels without a cause. They will test our patience to the limit because they know we can’t help but love them. From a lizard that steals a burger to a dog that purposely boops its cat friend on the nose, the world is more exciting thanks to these troublemakers.

Animals are known for abiding by no rules, even pets. Whether it’s a dog that sits like a human or a cat that likes to hang inside the fridge, animals are free spirits who do whatever brings them joy. Their eccentric personalities often get loads of laughs out of their owners.

Animals of all sizes need their sleep in order to function properly, just like humans. They are ready to fall asleep everywhere.

Experts say that the human and dog brain function very similarly when it comes to showing love and affection. For example, when a human and a dog are looking at each other, their levels of oxytocin increase equally. But almost all animals can feel love and show it to humans. Horses, cats, and even rodents will express their love for us when we are around them.
