For some reason this morning I thought, “Self, you haven’t watched that Kittens Inspired by Kittens video in a long time. You should watch it again.” So I did. As a result, I’m now sharing it with you. You may have seen it before, but I think it’s worth the nostalgia. And if you haven’t seen it, you are in for a treat:
This adorable little girl needs to make a sequel. How about Puppies Inspired by Puppies?
I have no idea why this video popped into my brain today… but the heart wants what it wants. Especially on a Monday.
From an early age, I was trained to hate Mondays. Thanks, Garfield. Who knew cats hated the beginning of the week so much? They don’t even have to go to work.
Anyway, although the title of this blog suggests we’re all puppies, all the time… today’s post is cat-themed. (It happens.) The following video sums up how I feel about Monday, while also making my Monday morning so much better:
Need more? Well, you’re in luck. Apparently animals jumping is so hot right now. If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch this video of a Corgi diving into the water. I use the term diving very loosely. It’s really more of a belly flop. So adorable (and you know I love those Corgis and their short little legs).
If you’re having trouble getting started today, just watch the cat video on repeat until you feel better. It’s possible I have watched it over a dozen times (maybe more?) since I first saw it. It’s my neverending moment of Zen.
Before I go, I want to say thanks to Sharon over at Grouchy Puppy for giving us another cool award. Instead of selecting a few blogs, I’ll just point you to the Puppy Love blogroll at right… there you will find many wonderful pet bloggers to visit. And I definitely encourage you to visit Grouchy Puppy – it’s awesome!
It’s time for another No Frown Friday! To paraphrase Forrest Gump, this week we’re talking about animals that go together like peas and carrots…
This week’s punny pet names would be perfect for your very own feline-canine odd couple: Felix Ungrrrr and Oscar Meowdison.
Speaking of odd couples, I enjoyed this slideshow of unlikely animal friendships. Some of these stories are familiar. Others are new. All are sweet. My personal favorite is the tale of Tarra the elephant and Bella the dog (not my Bella, but I do enjoy the coincidence). These two friends have even inspired a children’s book (link via Pet Project).
Sometimes animals take the odd friendship to the next level – forming an odd animal family. I got a little misty reading this sweet tale of a chihuahua who adopted nine kittens. (The mama dog’s name is Buttercup… double coincidence alert! That was the name of my first kitty.)
Who says only birds of a feather stick together? These odd couples have the right idea – it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Have a great weekend, darlings!
It’s National Donut Day, people. Let us rejoice, and bask in the sugary glow. It’s also time for another No Frown Friday – feel free to bask in its non-sugary but still lovely glow.
This week’s NFF has an unlikely (and non-donut related) theme… cats! That’s right… even a self-proclaimed puppy fan can appreciate our feline friends. After all, I’ve always had a soft spot for Garfield.
First up, your punny pet names: Madelion Albright and Gerard Leopardu.
Kitty parents and puppy parents alike should be able to appreciate this lint roller cat.
Check out this heartwarming tale of three kitties who were rescued by a U.S. Marine. Rumor has it these cats will only agree to live in places that begin with the letter J. Cats are always so finicky.
Finally, are you wise to the wonder that is Winston the cat? Allow me to introduce you to this banana connoisseur:
(Via fourfour. If you want to see more Winston – and I know you do – go here.)
Although today’s post is dedicated to cute kitties, I would be remiss if I did not include some safety tips. Behind that cuteness lurks the heart of a warrior. (Tigers and lions and tabbies, oh my!) Is your cat trying to kill you? Know the warning signs.
