Woman Adopts Stray Cat That Won’t Leave Her Dad’s Gravesite
It’s often said that you don’t adopt a cat but rather your cat adopts you. Personally, I agree with that sentiment. I really do think it’s the cats that choose us rather than the other way around. Every cat that I’ve ever had, has just come into my life as if they picked me to be their own.

I know that there are coincidences in life, but this doesn’t sound like a...
Teacher Reveals Her Dog Ate Her Students’ Homework
When you’re a teacher, you hear plenty of excuses. Perhaps the one that is most timeless, however, is “my dog ate my homework.” To be honest, I don’t think that this works even the first time it was used but these days, it is so cliché that you couldn’t even imagine that a teacher would buy it. Photo: Pexels/Kampus Production That is, of course, unless you’re the teacher and it was your dog that ate the student’s assignments. That is exactly what happened to one teacher who posted the incident...
Woman Gives New Hope To A Horse At The End Of His Rope
I think that most of us understand what it feels like to be hopeless, at least to a limited extent. Our lives tend to go along from one day to the next but when something devastating happens, it can really bring us to our knees. It seems as if this is not only the case for us as humans, horses can also feel similarly. We see that clearly in the case of Shag-Ra, an Arabian stallion that had basically given up on life.

Duck Comforts Grieving Dog After His Friend Died
One of the most difficult things that any of us has to go through in life is grieving the loss of a loved one. We all face this type of situation in our own way but for the most part, we also need the same thing, the kindness of others. This kindness does not need to be shown by a family member or a close friend. There are times when even a kind word or expression from a stranger can make the difference between us grieving endlessly or feeling just a little better.

Researchers Say Dogs’ Risk of Dementia Goes Up More Than 50% Each Year After Age 10
Alzheimer’s impacts countless people, with about a half million new diagnoses each year in the United States alone. It isn’t entirely clear what causes the disease, and there is no cure. However, a new study has found that a similar ailment impacts many aging dogs, and it could provide keys to better understand the disease in humans. A study published in the journal Scientific Reports examined the prevalence of the neurodegenerative disease canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) in older dogs. They found that it’s a widespread...
Study Shows That Mozart May Be Just What Your Dog Wants To Hear
When we leave home, even for a short amount of time, we worry about our dog. We want to make sure that our furry friend is comfortable and doesn’t get frightened, so we will often turn on some background noise. For some of us, it means turning on the radio and allowing the DJ to visit with our pet for a while. For others, it could mean turning on the TV and letting them listen to one of our favorite shows. Photo: Pexels/Andrea Piacquadio It seems as if your dog does have a preference, and researchers from Queens University Belfast in...

Woman Travels The World With Her Cat After Escaping The War In Ukraine
If there is one thing that is universal, it’s the love that we have for the cats in our family. Once we have one, we couldn’t imagine living life without one. In fact, many of us will get more than one cat because there’s just too much love to go around. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo When we have a feline in our family, they are there for everything that our family goes through. This includes the good times and the bad times, as illustrated in the following video. The video, from The Dodo, is about Simba and her human mother,...
