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 [...]

Admittedly, we may be on something of a pet- and dog-related list streak lately, but it’s damn near impossible not to make light of the ridiculous things proud pet-owners do to their best friends. The latest might be the most embarrassing (for the pet-owners, not the poor canine victims), something akin to extreme body modification [...]

We recently passed along some pictures of dogs who were maxing and relaxing in truly chill style. Little did we know we would be revisiting the subject so soon with Urlesque’s listicle of 6 Videos of Dogs on Swings. These are some really relaxed dogs, and watching them swing back and forth is oddly calming, [...]

We’re starting to think that we just don’t have what it takes to chill. The fact that we have to try to begin with is pretty telling, but even so, most of our attempts fail. Lying in the park seems like a great time to chill, but we could be reading! Sitting at home watching [...]

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) [...]

Michael Jackson died yesterday, and while everybody is still reeling from the news and trying to process the odd mixture of sadness, confusion (anger?) and adoration that most have felt for the pop superstar and, lately, reclusive nut-job throughout their lives, list-form tributes abound. Rather than add one to the mix, we’ll add 10 suggestions [...]

In our cruel, never-ending quest to make our pets look like us, animal facial hair is an often necessary measure. In a fairly epic homage to that trend, Best Week Ever has assembled a listicle of 50 Animals With Fake Facial Hair, and though some are almost too fake and arbitrary to even count as [...]

Remember that Rob Schneider film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow, in which Schneider’s home aquarium expert is left in charge of a vacationing male sex worker’s massive fish tank? No? Well, you’re lucky, but suffice to say that within the context of that film, the palatial fish tank served as another symbol of the mustachioed sex [...]

It’s Sunday, it’s Spring, probably a good day to do some Spring Cleaning. And while you may not want to vacuum, do dishes, clean the sideboards or mop the floor, those chores seem like so many pieces of pie compared to an infinitely more dangerous and unpleasant Spring ritual: the pet bath. You may not [...]

An article about an exciting new-ish pet trend in the Style section of the New York Times caught our eye over breakfast this morning. It appears that pet monkeys, long thought to be the province of fantastic tales like Mighty Joe Young, are in fact quite common. Before we scour the city’s pet stores and [...]
