But we can’t resist their charm, and despite their mischievous ways, we still love those little furballs.

Time slips away unnoticed; seconds morph into minutes, minutes into hours, and hours into days and years.

Not everyone is born perfect. Like us humans, animals are sometimes also born differently by bearing a unique feature or two that sets them apart from others. For instance, imagine a cat with 4 ears and 1 eye or a dog born with no teeth. Below we have listed some amazing instances to celebrate their differences.
Some guy was writing derogatory comments under my posts. He claimed in several answers to have a Ph.D., and he also named the university where he studied. The funniest thing is that I also studied at this university, and we graduated from it the same year, 1979. We even had the same field of study. But I never met him. The guy even posted his Ph.D. certificate. But something was wrong there, and it took me some time to figure out what exactly. The font! One of the fonts he used on his Ph.D. certificate from 1979 wasn’t designed until 1982. © Ian Williams / QuoraA year ago, I found out that my husband had 2 children from 2 other women while we were still married. He agreed with them to pay support money every month if they didn’t reveal that he was the father. Once, he delayed the payment, and one of them called me and told me everything. I met those women and their children — they were the spitting image of him. Our younger son was 5 at the time. Those women hadn’t known about me before they got pregnant. They are all nice women, we keep in touch, and our children have become friends. My ex-husband got married again, and his wife is pregnant now. So, it seems that a new member will join our club soon.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

And it’s crazy how random yet mind-blowing these accidental camouflages can get.

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.
