Cute Animals

One clever cat has mastered scrolling on Apple’s iPad in order to watch and enjoy bird videos.

Animals are much smarter and more intuitive than most people would like to admit. They continually prove their intelligence, surprising people with their ability to pick up new information and habits. Sure, they often act on instinct, doing what feels natural and normal to them. 

However, animals are created by the same God who formed man and put the sun, moon and stars in place. He endowed us with a certain level of intelligence and know-how. Is it that crazy to think that He did the same for our four-legged and furry friends? 

Anyone who has ever had the privilege of owning has witnessed firsthand their stunning level of intelligence. Animals will get into dumb, hilarious and seemingly incomprehensible situations. But don’t people do the very same thing every single day? 

A clip posted on TikTok puts the stunning level of intelligence of animals on full display. The short, 19-second video shows a cute and astoundingly clever feline sitting in front of an iPad. The screen appears to be on a video site, possibly YouTube.

Since the cat does not have thumbs or fingers that make scrolling easy, the animal improvises and does the next best thing. It ingeniously uses its tongue to scroll through a collection of bird videos. Once it finds one that piques its interest and meets its standards, the cat uses its tongue to select the video.

A woman watching the animal go through and then select a video is blown away by the cat’s ability to easily maneuver the video site.

“What?” she says. “How do you know how to do this?”

 Animals find new ways to amaze and thrill us every day. What will they do next? 

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 couple of playful lion cubs refused to let their father sleep, finding possibly the sweetest way to disturb their dad’s attempt at a nap.

An afternoon nap is one of life’s most undervalued activities. Who doesn’t enjoy getting in a little midday snooze on the weekend? It’s a quick and easy way to recharge those batteries.

However, naps, as it appears, are for those who are not parents. Children require near-constant, around-the-clock attention. They have needs that must be met in a timely fashion. If not, they will wail and wail until they are satisfied. Napping in an environment like that is impossible.

Sadly, not only are naps essentially eliminated after becoming parents but often even sleeping at night. Children, especially when they are little, wake up at all hours through the night. That’s why new parents often look so incredibly tired. It’s because they are incredibly tired. 

As one video posted on YouTube hilariously displays, naps are not only a luxury for childless humans but for animals without offspring. The short, 1-minute clip shows a lion relaxing, trying to catch some shuteye in the middle of a field. He’s minding his own business, hoping to get a few moments of peace and quiet.

But the lion’s nap is soon disturbed. Two lion cubs come upon their father’s swishing tail. They are obviously intrigued, and so they must investigate. They proceed to playfully swat at their father’s tail, seeing it as a new toy. 

Dad, several times, tries to dissuade the curious lion cubs from his tail. He swings it violently into the air as if warning them to keep their distance and let him sleep, please! 

But Dad’s efforts are not enough to keep the cubs away. They continue to bat at their dad’s tail, and soon he is up because any further attempts to get some sleep will be in vain. 

Naps, we didn’t know what we had until it was gone!

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

If you have ever been to a shopping mall, you may have seen some interesting things. All types of people, and even animals, can show up there. But, have you ever seen an escalator filled with the cutest golden retrievers?

This video clip shows us just that. Filmed at the Passo Fundo shopping mall in Brazil, we just keep seeing dog after dog, all held by their owners, going down the escalator. 

The sweet babies look like some of them are little puppies and others are grown dogs. Some do look a little more comfortable than others. This is the type of video you want to watch over and over as you watch the dogs and owners come down the escalator again and again. 

Golden retrievers are a Scottish breed of retriever dog that was developed in Scotland in the 1800s. They can grow up to 55-75 lbs and have a life expectancy of 12-13 years. 

These dogs are also one of the most popular breeds in the Western world. Often compared to the labrador retriever, they do have a longer coat than they do and are a bit more laid back. Although both breeds are known to be friendly, the lab can be more energetic than a golden retriever. 

So many people love these sweet dogs in the video, as you can tell by the comments:

“Cuteness Overload And They're All Absolutely Adorable Together”

“So many lovely babies,  so cute !”

“All are just teddy bears”

“Invasion of Golden Retrievers”

“It's. official.    all.   Golden.   Retriever. ARE.   Big.   Babies.”

Dogs are such amazing animals. We bring them into our homes and they give us so much love and joy. There is just something about seeing so many together at once that melts our hearts. 

“In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.” - Job 12:10

A massive black bear was caught on camera exiting from a vent connected to a house in North Carolina.

Animals are creatures that deserve love, kindness and respect. They were created by the same God who formed you and me. Most people, even if they aren’t pet owners, still love animals. Who doesn’t enjoy watching cute, cuddly kittens and puppies do their thing? 

However, some animals, while fascinating, are better to be viewed from a considerable distance and probably from behind a reinforced barrier. No one wants to tangle with a lion, tiger or bear. But what happens if you’ve discovered that a massive black bear has found its way and taken up residence in your home?

Well, that’s what happened to one family in North Carolina. The large animal was caught on camera emerging from a house in the Tarheel State. The incredible video posted on YouTube shows the animal, presumably after hibernating, exiting the house.

The video begins with the bear’s head and front paws sticking out of the house. It then struggles for a few seconds before successfully squeezing its large and fur-covered body through the tiny opening in the house. 

It is frightening to think that an animal that large would and could find its way into a house. I cannot imagine seeing a bear casually exit from my house. 

Nature and all the wildlife creatures are magnificent and awe-inspiring beings. But, most people, if they saw something like that, would react with utter shock and horror. They probably couldn’t get the for-sale sign up in their yard fast enough.

After seeing a bear exiting your house, your next thought would probably concern possible baby bears. Does that family have to worry about going to the kitchen one morning and seeing a bear cub in the refrigerator? Again, putting the house up for sale after witnessing a scene like this would probably be a good move!

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A baby girl and a kind, gentle horse have quite possibly the sweetest relationship, and a cute moment between the two is captured on camera.

To properly grow and develop physically, emotionally and psychologically, children require a ton of love, care and attention. Babies need to know and understand that their needs will be met. Children who do not have those needs met in a timely and satisfactory manner could grow up to experience a whole list of mental and physical problems.

In addition to the near-constant care that children require, attention must be delivered gently and lovingly. Children are very fragile creatures and must be handled with the right amount of love, care and gentleness. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a horse even seems to understand that children must be handled very delicately and lovingly. The short video shows a baby wrapped tightly in a blanket as a horse approaches the child.

Of course, a horse approaching a child would give any decent parent pause and cause them to immediately panic. However, the horse shows the child nothing but love, tenderness and care. The animal places its face right on the child and does so several times throughout the clip. 

The animal’s gentleness with the baby is simply astounding. How does the animal understand how to approach and treat the child?

Another equally mind-blowing part of the clip is the young child’s reaction. The baby is not bothered by having the large creature place its face on it. Instead of reacting with fear or crying out for help, the child doesn’t even flinch. The baby lovingly gazes up at the animal, not bothered at all by the horse’s presence.

It's such a sweet and astounding moment between the horse and baby! 

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.”

In this video, we see a Great Dane, named Goliath. He was only 86lbs when he came to B.O.S.S. Farms, which is an animal rescue. They knew right away that they would need to feed him something that would help him gain a lot of weight.

The problem was that Goliath just didn’t want to eat. The man from B.O.S.S. Farms says that, “He didn’t want to eat. He had just been let down, so he needed someone to trust.”

In the video, we can even see him rejecting the food. However, things change and over time he starts to eat. “As I would go to feed him, it would be more about connecting with him and letting him know, ‘I am taken care of.’”

Goliath became the grandpa to all the other rescue dogs coming in. We can see the puppies all sleeping on him. “He became the glue to the pack,” the man says. 

He did get up to 160 lbs and started looking really good. He went to the Hallmark Rescue Dog Awards and won Best in Senior as well as appearing on the Kelly Clarkson show. 

Goliath became attached to the man, and the man became attached to Goliath. So much so that the man from the rescue ended up adopting him. He was now officially his dog. The new owner says, “he gets whatever he wants in this lifetime.”

They call him their BFG, Big Friendly Goliath. 

Sadly we find out at the end of the video that Goliath has passed away as we see a photo with the words, “In Loving Memory of Goliath.” He was 14 years old and it is nice to know that he lived the last few years of his life in peace with wonderful and loving people. 

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” - Hebrews 13:2

A massive, furry creature, a black bear, was caught on camera “having a blast” as it took a dip in and enjoyed a jacuzzi.

Animals are created by the same God who placed the sun, moon and stars in place. They were formed and put on earth as part of His creation. Animals deserve love, care, kindness and respect.

However, love, care, kindness and respect can be administered from a distance. When it comes to some larger animals who tend to defend themselves furiously and ferociously when confronted by someone or something, it’s best to show them care and respect in that manner. 

One of those animals who lash out with deadly force when they feel threatened is the black bear. But instead of avoiding the bear, the animal visited a man and a woman. 

In a clip posted on Facebook, a man narrates a video of a black bear “having a blast” as it helps itself to his jacuzzi. The short 2-minute clip begins with the bear walking along the railing of a back porch. Soon enough, the bear gets off the railing and finds its way to the water-filled receptacle.

The man who films the fascinating clip states that the bear “just knocked my jacuzzi top over” before it decides to climb into the outdoor tub.

Once in the jacuzzi, the bear appears to be right at home. It sits up and enjoys the warm water as it gazes at the sunrise. 

What more could a bear want? Maybe a couple of picnic baskets, perhaps?

The man cannot believe what is taking place on his back porch! 

About 1 minute and 20 seconds into the clip, the man, for some reason, opens the door and steps out onto the porch with the bear. He stands silently and films the animal enjoying the jacuzzi until the bear spots him. The man then wisely goes back inside, away from the bear.

It’s probably a good idea if you ever spot a bear using your jacuzzi without asking to allow it to continue doing so until it decides it has had enough time in the water.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A cute and lovable golden retriever, in a sweet display of love and affection, decided to give its owner a hand, helping her pack her suitcase for an upcoming trip.

Not everyone has a dog or a cat, but most people love and adore those animals. Their unique personalities are so cute and quirky, providing friendship and given their often-hilarious antics, a fair amount of entertainment. 

But in addition to the free entertainment they provide, animals are some of the most lovable, caring and sweet creatures on Earth. Dogs especially continually show their affection and loyalty in a variety of ways. Most of them are likely to bring a tear or two to your eye. 

In a clip posted on TikTok, one dog, a golden retriever, wanted to be helpful. The short, 14-second video shows the animal standing near an opened, partially emptied suitcase with an object in its mouth. 

The woman filming the dog’s sweet gesture calls out the animal as it approaches the piece of luggage. 

“You just brought it back to the suitcase,” the woman says with a laugh.

After the animal finishes listening to its owner talk, the animal turns back to the suitcase and finishes what it had started by gently placing the object, which appears to be a small stuffed animal, possibly a lion, in the suitcase. 

“What are you doing?” the woman asks the canine. “Bean, are you helping me pack for vacation?”

The text at the top of the video indicates that the dog’s action was a case of monkey see-monkey do. But perhaps the dog also wanted to be prepared. It also wanted to be ready for the trip, too.

Animals are yet another way the good Lord has blessed our lives. As anyone with a pet knows, things are just much better with a dog or a cat in your life. 

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

In this YouTube video, a woman enters her home to find an unlikely creature. When the woman opens the door, you can see something has made quite a mess, including a hole in the ceiling. 

Who is responsible for this mess? We soon find out as we see a baby raccoon or a kit as baby raccoons are called. They are hiding behind a corner. 

He starts to come out and you can see he is pretty terrified and a bit feisty. The woman with the camera even calls him that. She also says, “Oh I don’t know if I’m allowed to touch you,” as she keeps filming him.

He is shaking and making noises. At one point he tries to climb the wall. We don’t know how he got into her home but it is clear he is not where he was supposed to be. 

The woman doesn’t seem to be that worried about the mess he or she made at the moment. She talks about “Daddy” going to get gloves to pick the kit up with. 

There are some pretty great comments about the baby raccoon on the video. One says, “I love the way it just spontaneously switches between cuddle muffin and murder bandit with no chill” and another comments, “This woman is so kind, not everyone would react to a hole in the ceiling so compassionately. The stork dropped that one at the right house..”

The commenter is right. Not everyone would be able to act so calmly about the mess and finding a wild animal in their home. However, this woman appears to be understanding and caring towards the scared animal. Still, it might not be the wisest thing to keep this kit as a pet, even if he is pretty cute. 

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” - Galatians 6:9 

Cats sometimes get a bad reputation for lacking warmth and friendliness, but this video of a rescued puppy getting comfort and love from a blind cat might have you thinking differently about our feline friends. 

Check out the diapered black-and-white cat as she licks and loves on the sweet, black puppy! 

Hattie is her name, and she didn’t used to get much pampering. In fact, Hattie has had a hard life. Before being rescued by her current owner, TikTok user @hattieandrue, Hattie had been living in a horrible hoarding situation. 

When Hattie’s human dad brought home an abandoned pup, the newbie might not have been welcomed into the fold. However, Hattie has overcome adversity, and she seems very willing to share the good fortune she’s found and her kindness with her new roomy.  

At the opening of the video, it appears the two formerly down-and-out pets are nestled together in the bed. However, we quickly see the pup padding around on the tile floor and then struggling a bit to get back to the safety of their shared space. 

As the puppy moves about before settling, Hattie grooms the diminutive doggie. Actually, the behavior is called “allogrooming,” and it is not merely about helping her buddy with hygiene.  When cats lick one another’s heads, it’s a sign of affection, as well as an indication of bonding and trust. So, even though Hattie’s friend is definitely not a sibling, she seems happy to treat the rescued puppy as such. 

The precious pup rests in the cozy bed, basking—perhaps bathing—in Hattie’s affection. They certainly seem to have built a beautiful friendship! 

Maybe, the two cuddlers have some creature capacity for understanding each other’s past plights. Their connection is great for them, but it’s an inspiring and uplifting message for their parents and all of us, too. When life seems full of hardships and days are dark, God never fails to send little bits of hope and light our way! 

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12

A dog seemingly scared of its own shadow blossomed into a loving,  patient and caring guardian, helping provide care for little children.

Dogs are loyal, lovable and caring creatures. Anyone who has ever had a dog knows they all come with their own unique personalities. Like people, their likes and dislikes all vary from canine to canine. Some may enjoy engaging in a spirited game of fetch, while other dogs may prefer a more sedentary, less active lifestyle. 

Similar to their likes and dislikes, a dog’s fears are also dramatically dependent on the dog. Their past experiences will also heavily influence what scares and frightens them. A clip posted on YouTube shows a golden retriever, Winnie, who was essentially afraid of everything. Footage shows the animal cowering behind a trash can at a park and refusing to engage and interact with other canines at a dog park.

Nearly everything frightened Winnie, but then something surprising happened!

After Winnie’s owner gave birth, the golden retriever became a loving and caring caretaker. Winnie treated the baby with love and tenderness. Additionally, Winnie kept an eye on anyone who interacted with the child, often standing next to that person.

Then when Winnie’s owners opened an in-home day care, Winnie was not frightened in the slightest by the children. Instead, the dog became a staff member. Winnie would carry over diapers and bottles. She played with the children, looked after the kids and even took naps with them. 

The woman narrating the clip states that the day care has also helped Winnie in unexpected ways.

“Winnie has a heart condition that limits her exercise,” The woman states. “Day care has been so special for us because it’s the first thing that we noticed that has made Winnie happy while allowing her just to stay calm and be herself.”

What a beautiful tale of an anxious dog who found its purpose, blossoming into a loving, caring and sweet caretaker.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Hold onto your ski poles, folks! In an adrenaline-pumping and stunning video of a huge moose chasing skiers in Wyoming goes viral. Hold onto your hats—no, scratch that, hold onto your ski helmets because things just got wilder than a rodeo at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort!

Picture this: Alex Mott, the master of reverse skiing and amateur filmmaker extraordinaire, was capturing his epic run down the slopes when he stumbled upon a scene straight out of a survival thriller—a massive moose barreling towards him and his fellow skiers. He suddenly found himself face-to-face with the unlikeliest of downhill companions—a moose on a mission! Talk about a "moose-terious" visitor crashing the party! 

The moose, whose size alone could send even the bravest of skiers into a panic, but Alex, being the quick thinker that he is, didn't just freeze like a snowman in a blizzard. Instead, he sounded the alarm shouting to his companions, "Go faster!”

Can you imagine the heart-pounding chaos? Skiers darting left and right, trying to avoid becoming the unwitting stars of a moose-starring collision! It's like a scene from a blockbuster disaster movie, only with more snow and fewer explosions (thankfully)!

According to Alex, he didn’t see the moose until after he passed the big brute. He was merely focused on conquering the slopes when disaster—er, I mean, the moose—struck. It's as if the moose decided to crash the party and remind everyone that Mother Nature calls the shots, even on the most tranquil of ski days!

But fear not, dear readers, for this tale doesn't end in tragedy. After a few tense moments of standoff, the moose decided to gracefully retreat into the safety of the woods, leaving the skiers with hearts pounding and stories to tell for years to come. Phew! Crisis averted, danger survived—just another day in the life of a ski enthusiast in Wyoming. The wilderness state is well known for its ‘Don’t pet the fluffy cows’ signs about the buffalo that freely roam– but after this escapade, they might need to consider Moose signage. 

As skiers catch their breath and recount their close encounter with a moose on the loose, it becomes abundantly clear: while skiing may be all fun and games, it's important to remember that the mountain is home to creatures much bigger and stronger than ourselves. So the next time you hit the slopes, keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you—because you never know when danger, in the form of a moose or otherwise, might come barreling towards you!

Ski on, brave souls, and may your adventures be as exhilarating as they are unforgettable in Jacksonhole!

A cat who showed up unexpectedly to a wedding ceremony and stole the show has found a home with the bride and groom.

Weddings are beautiful and often emotional events that are meticulously and painstakingly planned. Everything, from the venue, the food, the table settings and the number of guests, is considered and planned well in advance of the ceremony. Any hiccup or hitch in those plans could throw everything off, resulting in tears and an upset bride.

One couple was exchanging their vows when their ceremony was temporarily interrupted by an uninvited, furry and four-legged guest. A video posted on YouTube shows the bridesmaids and groomsmen standing silently when they start hearing something odd and out of place. They saw and heard a cat standing near the woods meowing during the middle of the ceremony.

The couple even stopped their ceremony to catch a glimpse of the uninvited guest, which caused several guests to begin laughing. Eventually, they did say their “I dos” and become man and wife, but the cat stole the show.

“The whole night, that’s literally all anyone could talk about, was ‘Ok, we’re having, like, the best night. This is so great, we’re so happy for you guys, but like the cat. Like, let’s talk about the cat,’’’ said Cara Hamdan.

Days after the ceremony, the uninvited wedding guest was caught. The cat was placed in a nearby animal shelter. Then, after returning from their honeymoon and about a month after their wedding, the couple went to the shelter and adopted the cat!

Daisy, who now has a loving home, quickly bonded with her new owners. The loving and affectionate cat is never too far behind either of them, choosing to remain in their company constantly. 

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A feline put on quite a hilarious display of balance and athleticism while boxing, throwing several menacing punches in the air.

Cats are creatures that seem to be universally beloved. Most people could watch those furry and four-legged animals for hours at a time, taking in their hysterical hijinks and quirks. Thousands of cat videos on YouTube show cats doing what they do best: be a cat. Additionally, photos of felines on Facebook or Instagram will always pick up a healthy amount of likes and shares.

As much as cats are captured in photos and videos, there isn’t much that we haven’t seen them do. But what about a feline throwing punches that would give Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson a run for their money while standing on its hind legs? 

A clip posted on YouTube shows a cat doing just that! 

The video is a little under a minute and a half long, and somehow, the cat stands up on its back legs throughout the clip. It does this as it spins around in a circle throwing punches into the air, showing off several mighty impressive jabs. 

Almost as if it’s showing off its unbelievable balance, the cat periodically pauses and remains completely still. Then, at the 46-second mark of the clip, the animal gives its best intimidating look as it peers directly into the camera. 

But after another extended pause, the cat goes back into its boxing training, throwing one punch after another. 

What would cause a cat to stand up on its back legs for such a long time? Who knows, but then again, what is the reason for the rest of their hilarious hijinks and laugh-out-loud antics? 

When you’re a cat, you don’t need any rhyme or reason for your actions because human beings will continue to watch and be fascinated by felines.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

One little boy was caught on camera participating in likely the sweetest interaction you’re ever to see between a child and a pony.

Animals are some of the cutest things you’ll find on Earth. Puppies, kittens, baby rabbits and the like are always popular. Who doesn’t enjoy looking through dozens, perhaps even hundreds of photos of puppies and kittens? Similarly, people will spend hours watching YouTube videos of kittens being kittens, which is to say being as cute as can be.

Kittens and puppies will always be cute and remain popular content for platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. But another animal that is almost as hard to pass up as kittens and puppies is ponies. Who doesn’t love watching clips of those miniature horses as they tag along with their parents, earnestly trying to keep up with mom and dad as they learn how to function as a horse? The mere thought of a pony is almost enough for you to cry out, “Aww!” 

Well, one video posted on TikTok includes what is likely the cutest conversation between a young man and a pony. Of course, the conversation is a little one-sided, but that doesn’t make it any less cute! It may even add to the cuteness factor.

The short 18-second clip starts with a child, likely not older than 3 or 4, standing next to a pony’s stable. The child is dressed head to toe as a cowboy. He even has the cutest little hat! The little guy removes his 12-gallon hat to make the pony aware of his haircut.

“See, I got a haircut,” the little guy tells his animal friend.

Almost as if he’s waiting for the horse to respond, the child stands and silently waits for a few seconds. But the horse is not Mr. Ed and does not answer the child. But that non-answer doesn’t keep him from continuing the conversation.

The child reaches for and touches the pony’s head, asking the horse if it had also been recently groomed.

“You got a haircut, too?” the child asks.

That’s got to be one of the sweetest things you’re ever likely to see!

Colossians 3:21 “Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.”

A cute and visually impaired goat has developed the cutest bond with one of its owners, following the man just about everywhere he goes.

All animals, like humans, want to know they are cared for and loved. They are unique creatures formed and then placed on Earth by the same God who put the sun, moon and stars in position. Even those who aren’t particularly pleasant to look at are part of God’s creation. 

Rhea, a blind goat, loves nothing more than lounging and cuddling up with her male owner, Alex. The video posted on YouTube shows the two of them relaxing together in a hammock and even lounging on an inflatable chair in a pool. 

“Rhea’s all-time favorite activity would be lounging with Alex,” the woman narrating the video says. 

The goat, after hearing the sound of Alex’s voice, will follow him anywhere and everywhere. 

Rhea, who became blind at a test facility, spent time living inside the house with her owners. The goat was fed with a bottle, received plenty of attention and even slept in bed with her 

owners. They spent so much caring for and attending to Rhea’s needs that the woman narrating the short clip said it “was definitely like having a newborn again.”

Even though Rhea is a goat, it appears that she would much rather spend her time with humans, parrots and even pigs. 

“We have other goat companions here, and we worked really hard to integrate them so they could be a family,” the woman said. “But Rhea wanted nothing to do with the other goats.” 

Despite Rhea’s disability, the cute and loving goat does not let that keep her from living and enjoying life. In fact, Rhea is “living her best goat life.”

What a wonderful and sweet example of the bond between man and animal. Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated, even goats!

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran is one of the biggest names in all of music, playing to thousands of screaming and adoring fans in sold-out venues, but despite all that success, cats don’t appear to be fans of his.

For any musician to achieve a sustained and consistent career singing and writing songs, they must build up and acquire a loyal fanbase. That makes sense, right? They need people willing to buy their music and purchase tickets to see them perform in concert. However, that is much easier said than done.

Even Ed Sheeran, who is internationally known for such hits as “Shape of You,” “Perfect” and “Shivers,” has had trouble building up his fanbase among one particular segment of the population: felines. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Ed visited a cat café in Japan. While there, Ed decided to play the felines a tune. While sitting in the center of the room, with guitar in hand, Ed is surrounded by cats chowing down. 

Ed then asks his furry, four-legged friends if they want to listen to him play a song. But the second he strums his instrument, the cats scatter. Apparently, the cats did not want to enjoy a little music with their meal.

Several people in the room laugh about the fleeing felines. Ed gives a dejected look at his less-than-perfect reception. However, he does power through and continues playing, but his playing is still not well received. Several cats maintain their distance from him while they watch Ed cautiously.

The clip also shows that Ed got a similar reaction from the cats when he visited the very same cafe a decade earlier, in 2014. Instead of stopping to take in the free performance, they ran away. 

It just goes to show you that not all music is for everyone.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

One dog seemingly could not wait any longer and let its owner know it was beyond time to go, honking the vehicle’s horn several times.

No one enjoys waiting. Waiting means I don’t get what I want right now, at this exact moment. Developing patience is not any fun. In fact, doing so can often be painful and even frightening. Society is built on this idea of immediacy. There is fast food, instant potatoes, instant coffee and instant communication. 

Humans do not appreciate being forced to wait for any extended period for anything. These can bring out the worst in individuals. People often become angry and agitated when forced to wait a few extra minutes. However, according to a video posted on YouTube, humans are not the only creatures on Earth who do not enjoy waiting.

The short, 40-second video shows a vehicle parked along the side of the road. But while there is no human in the truck, a dog moves anxiously back and forth and across the seats. It’s clear that the animal is agitated and only becoming more so with every passing second.

The dog wants its owner to return to the vehicle and continue with their journey. But just in case there was any confusion about how the canine was feeling, it soon let everyone within a few blocks’ radius know.

The dog plops itself down in the driver’s seat, looking as if it’s ready to turn the truck on and drive. But then, around the 8-second mark of the clip, the dog hilariously hits the horn. It doesn’t just do this once but six times.

The person filming the dog’s impatient antics can’t help but laugh at the annoyed canine’s honking. 

Being patient and being forced to wait for anything is not fun for anyone, especially, as it turns out, dogs. 

Psalm 37:7 “Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.”

A mystery dog walked up to a woman sitting and crying in a cemetery and gave her love and comfort.

Life can often be a painful and heartbreaking experience, leaving us crying and grieving. Situations will leave us battered and bruised, calling out for someone, anyone for help and comfort. During these circumstances a strong support system – family, friends and coworkers – is crucial. They can be that literal shoulder to cry on when life becomes overwhelming. Everyone needs people they can rely upon and seek out for comfort in times of hurt and trouble.

Experiencing the death of a loved one is likely the worst, lowest and darkest period. It can be excruciating when someone you’ve trusted and depended on for decades is suddenly gone. In a clip posted on TikTok, a woman who had gone through a massive loss in her life got some love and comfort from an unexpected source.

The video shows a cute and lovable dog attending to an emotional woman. She can be heard crying and sniffling as she holds the camera, filming her interaction with the friendly canine.

The caption to the video, written in Spanish, states that she had come to the cemetery that day to “say goodbye to the person I loved the most,” according to the translation from Google Translate. 

She added that while saying goodbye, “this little dog arrived.”

The dog could sense that the woman was in great pain, with her having recently suffered a great loss in her life. The caring dog wanted to do what it could to make her feel better. What a sweet and loving display from an animal that wanted to make her feel better. 

There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friend. 

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.”

The video begins with the husky watching a cartoon while sitting on the couch. The dog seems very interested in the show. She does not want to be disturbed. 

The owner then turns off the TV show and the dog doesn’t move from their spot. For a few seconds, you wonder what she is going to do. Then, she gives her owner a specific look. 

The husky gives her the side-eye as if to say, “I can’t believe you would do such a thing to me. I was watching that!” You can’t help but laugh about this. That side-eye was strong. She really couldn’t believe what the owner did. 

Now the big question is, was the husky really watching TV? Can dogs watch TV like we do? 

According to PetMD, they absolutely can and many enjoy it. They can be interested in the visuals, the motion, and the sounds. 

Even though dogs can watch TV, their eyes are different from human eyes. They see the TV differently than we do. For one thing, their vision is closer to 20/75, so they might want to sit closer to the TV. 

Dogs also only have two types of color-processing cells in their retinas. To compare, humans have three. Dogs can’t see as many colors as we do. They might be more interested in TV if there is blue and yellow on the screen versus if there is a lot of white and red on the screen. 

The next time you think about putting on the TV for the dog, you might as well try it. Just make sure you don’t turn the TV off before they are done watching. They might give you the side eye like this husky did. If that happens, you will probably start to laugh. It is quite funny.
