Though many seemed to think that the Internet would serve solely as a vessel for pornography and scams, those skeptics clearly underestimated the power of cats. Yes, our feline friends have become such web celebs (”welebs”?) that they’ve begun to take on certain human characteristics. For proof, we recommend checking out Kitty Stampede’s listicle of [...]

We can never get enough of beautiful animated shorts and, thankfully, artsy folks and up-and-coming animators never seem to stop creating beautiful new videos. We’ve organized the latest slate of exciting animated shorts we can’t help but share with you, rather loosely, around the topic of heroism. All of our 7 Skillful Animated Short Films [...]

Today, for some reason we can’t quite figure out, is National Play-Doh Day. Our only hunch is that today may be the 54th anniversary of the invention of the product by Joseph McVicker, although we’ve had a hard time pinning down an exact date. Regardless, in its time on the market it’s become a staple [...]

Summer is kind of already almost over (we know, we know, tragic right?) and so this weekend we’re hitting the beach with a whole team of friends and we’re going to make the most amazing sand sculptures you’ve ever seen. No, really, there are going to be dragons, dinosaurs, elephants, lions, bugs, squid and a [...]

In principle we disapprove of eating domestic animals. In fact, until our confused cow Chester died when we were eight, we refused to eat beef. Dogs, horses and turtles, meanwhile, are still very much off-limits. However, on occasion we come across an adorable little cutie who’s so sweet  we just want to eat her or [...]

Animals, especially domestic animals, pretty much seem to be doing cute stuff all the time. This probably has something to do with the life of leisure they live, free from the constraints of actual animal life (ie. catching food, evading predators, performing their own surgery when they swallow a plastic play toy).
Few things are cuter, [...]

It’s Sunday, and you should probably be outdoors instead of stuck in front of your computer reading Listicles. That said, if you must be inside you could at least be doing some exercise, like the folks featured in mental_floss’s listicle of 10 Animals on Treadmills. We’re especially fond of the fellow who attempts a handstand [...]

As far as we can tell, summertime beach trips are just fraught with contradictory compulsions. For instance: you want to enjoy the sun, but you don’t want skin cancer. Likewise, you want to swim in the salt water, but then you’re all sticky and salty and won’t really feel comfortable until you shower. And then [...]

Couches aren’t just for hiding drugs and losing coins in, you can get anything in there. Like pets. After all, what kind of domestic animal doesn’t have at least one completely ridiculous and inaccessible hiding spot? Why, that’s what keeps them in touch with their animal instincts, surely. In which case, the pets in Urlesque’s [...]

Until recently, we didn’t know that there was such a thing as a pet wedding, we were so naive. Now, the revelation has us contemplating all manner of fascinating repercussions and implications. Like, for instance, who takes pictures at pet weddings? Is it only the lowliest of human wedding photographers who have to stoop (literally) [...]
