Animals

This adorable cat is so affectionate and friendly, it’ll melt your heart. One might be able to say this is the most loving cat imaginable. How could you ever find a more warmhearted, tender and sweet feline? Watch the short but precious clip to see just how friendly this sweet little guy is to everyone he encounters.

People love and adore animals. Even if they are not current pet owners, odds are good that they still have a considerable soft spot for those cute, furry, four-legged creatures. How could you not? Life is always a better, fuller and richer experience when animals are around. No one could possibly disagree with that statement.

Now, when it comes to what animal makes the best pet, there is a deep division. Generally, individuals fall into two categories – dog people or cat people, and there is usually little to no crossover. You are either one or the other. Those who consider themselves dog people more than cat people typically do so because dogs are often friendlier and more affectionate than cats. But that is not always the case.

A clip posted on YouTube captures what is arguably the friendliest, most easy-going and affectionate cat ever. Meatball seems unable to get enough of its owner as the feline constantly lovingly rubs its face against the young woman. The cat will literally grab her face as it licks her and puts its face on hers. It’s an adorable sight!

“He has to always be showing me affection,” the woman said.

However, Meatball’s owner is not the only person who gets attention from the darling feline. The cat has apparently never met a stranger, making friends everywhere it goes – the grocery store, Costco and even in the McDonald’s drive-thru. The cat gives attention to everyone, and he absolutely loves every second of it.

Who wouldn’t want a cat just like that?

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.”

These dogs take mischief to a whole new level – literally. The pups were spotted having the time of their lives in quite an unusual and elevated spot. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see where the fun took these two pups.

Most animals, at least those who are domesticated, want attention, someone to pay them mind. All pet owners – past and present – will wholeheartedly agree with that statement. They understand that their dog or cat needs their presence acknowledged with a few moments of petting, cuddling or a nice treat. It does not matter; most animals are not picky. In fact, most of them would gladly accept all three options.

However, many pets want constant and continual attention. Even though everyone knows that is not a possibility. Some animals could receive this much-desired attention for eight or nine straight hours, and it still would not be nearly enough. That’s when some members of the animal community will seek out other activities to fill their time, which are likely only to earn them a stern talking-to and admonishment.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two pups felt the need to take their fun to brand-new heights. When the owner of the two pets walked up to the house, she got a massive surprise. The two dogs were enjoying themselves on the roof of their home. Yes, you read that correctly, the two dogs were on top of the house. And of course, when their owner spotted them and began angrily ordering them to get down, they acted as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. 

They didn’t seem to be concerned or worried about the inherent danger of their position.
This clip shows that animals will do what they want when they want, which all pet owners already know very well.

In spring of 2025, we found a bunch of old baseball caps placed in a circle around the half-finished basement of our cabin. We put the hats back in box they'd been stored in, and set up a trail cam and a security cam to find out who was running around our basement. Over the next few nights, we saw this rat come back and re-create the circle of hats! Months later, she's still returning regularly to "decorate" the room, and we love seeing her work...and wondering what she's up to. (We don't know if she's really a girl, but we've started calling her "Callie").

I was in a meeting in a separate room when I heard a loud bang on my front door. I looked down and it was my Frenchie literally knocking on the door to come back inside the house. I was so thrown off and confused as to why Carl was outside. I went to the room where my dogs love to hang out and I see a window missing. I then looked back at camera footage and could not believe what I saw. Carl jumping through the window because he had seen the mailman. Credit: Marcus G.

This adorable pup really wanted that treat. The canine obviously knew what was going on and would stop at nothing until its desire for a treat was fulfilled. Watch the short but sweet clip to see how the precious pup reacted when it suspected a treat was nearby.

Is there anything better than a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a mouth-watering piece of chocolate? Who doesn’t love a treat now and then? We all do, of course, but if we’re being honest, we probably indulge ourselves a little too much at times with a sweet, tasty treat.

As it turns out, human beings aren’t the only creatures on Earth who enjoy a treat. Animals love receiving a treat as well. If you’ve been a pet owner, you know this all too well. Whenever that pup or feline believes they are about to be treated with something special, they get overly excited. It often gets to the point where they can’t contain themselves. This is precisely what happened in a clip posted on YouTube.

In the video, the beautiful golden retriever, Ozzy, is lounging on the couch when he is instructed to “sit and wait” and “be a good boy.” After the woman gives the dog these directives, out of nowhere and to the pup’s surprise, she disappears from the screen momentarily. While we are unable to see what she did off-camera, Ozzy has a pretty good idea about what she did and grabbed while she stepped away from the couch.

Immediately after she sits down, Ozzy goes right for her hands. He can obviously smell what she is concealing in her hand. It’s a treat for Ozzy. Knowing what is mere inches away from his mouth, Ozzy will stop at nothing to make her release the treat so he can enjoy that mouth-watering morsel of goodness.

Eventually, she relents and gives in to Ozzy and his frenzied, overwhelming energy, allowing him to enjoy the delicious treat finally!

A bear was caught having the time of its life on a golf course. The massive wild animal spent some time on the green, basically taking over this particular hole on the course. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see what a bear did while enjoying some time on a golf course.

Golf is an activity that many people enjoy. It makes perfect sense why that is the case. Playing golf allows participants to shut their minds off from the outside noise - all the stress and worries from their everyday lives. When playing, all a golfer is concentrating on is hitting the ball as far and as straight as possible. How could that not be a pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable activity?

On the other hand, having played golf a time or two, I can say that it’s so slow and incredibly dull. While some people love nothing more than being out on the links, that does not appeal to me in the slightest. Perhaps you’re one of those many people who enjoy golf, and that’s fine, but it’s just not a sport for me.

A clip posted shows that one animal seems to be a massive fan of the game, or at least parts of it. The video captures a bear near one of the course’s holes. Apparently, after spotting the hole’s flag, he decided to test its flexibility. The massive animal is seen pulling the flag all the way over, essentially to the point where it touches the ground. Surprisingly, the pole does not snap, remaining intact despite the massive animal using its considerable might while playing.

I understand that all golf courses come with their specific set of hazards (roughs, hills, water, etc.) to make holes more challenging, but I’m guessing none of them were designed with massive wild animals disrupting play in mind. That would be one hole and course that I would most certainly avoid.

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.”

You’ll love this cute and comical moment between a dog and its rooster buddy. The two unlikely pals were having the time of their lives playing together. Watch the short but adorable clip to see what a rooster and dog did that will have you laughing hysterically.

Is it possible to have too many friends? Is there a point at which we say, “Enough, I’ve got all the buddies I want and need?” If so, what is that number? Is it the same or different for everybody? Some people may have a different answer and feel otherwise, but I don’t think it's possible to have too many friends.

Friends make life better, a fuller and richer experience. They are the people who are there whenever you’re down and going through a painful or tumultuous time. They provide a shoulder to cry on and a steady, listening ear. Additionally, friends are people we celebrate the good times with and are some of the first individuals we tell whenever something exciting happens.

Another great thing about friendships is that they can form at any time and in any place. People, or creatures, from all walks of life can become fast friends. A sweet clip posted on YouTube proves this to be the case.

In the video, two unlikely pals – a rooster and a dog – are enjoying some fun in the sun together. It begins with the rooster lurking around a large pile of pallets. Seconds later, the dog pops its head around the corner, getting a peek at its feathered friend. Then, it’s off to the races.

The rooster and the dog chase one another around the stack of pallets, enjoying every second of their time together. They go back and forth, with each taking turns chasing the other.

How can you not love animals?

What a hilarious and adorable display of friendship!

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.”

This dog desperately wanted its buddy to come out and play, and it’s too cute! The canine knew exactly where to find its pal and was more than ready to have some fun. Watch the short but adorable clip to see how the dog acted when it knew it was playtime.

Who does not love animals? Do you know anyone who genuinely dislikes animals? Hopefully, you do not. Even if you’re not a current pet owner, it’s a safe bet that you probably have a soft spot for those cute, cuddly creatures. How could you not?

Having a pet makes life better, a much fuller and richer experience, in every way imaginable. Everything is better when there’s an animal around, and all pet owners – past and present – know this to be 100 percent true. An incredibly sweet and adorable clip posted proves that even other animals seem to know this to be true.

The short 40-second video begins with the pup standing silently on the neighbor’s front porch. It’s clear that this dog has an immediate need and wants it fulfilled as soon as possible. After looking at the door for a few seconds, it approaches the door, hoping that its message is received by the people inside and that its buddy is allowed to come out and play.

When the canine senses that something is happening, it becomes overly excited. It begins barking and whimpering, hoping that its companion is finally about to exit the house for some much-needed playtime.

Then, about 25 seconds into the clip, the second dog exits the house, and the two canine pals could not be happier as they race across the front yard, having the time of their lives.

Animals may not be able to talk and verbally express thoughts and opinions, but they have definite ways of letting us know exactly what they want and when they want it.

This America’s Got Talent cat performance is absolutely purr-fect. These cute and cuddly felines put on quite the show for the judges and studio audiences, thrilling them with their adorable tricks and amazing feats. Watch the short but captivating clip to see what these critters can do.

Everyone loves animals, and if you don’t, well, chances are there might be something wrong with you. How can you not adore and appreciate those creatures? Even if you’re not a current pet owner, there is just so much to love about animals.

Although we may all love animals, there is something we need to discuss. Cats and dogs, which are the animals people keep as pets, are totally different. Canines, for the most part, will do whatever you tell them. Sure, they may need to be shown several times before they get the message, but they’ll do it, nonetheless. Cats, on the other hand, are, without question, some of the hardest-headed, strongest-willed animals you’ll ever encounter.

Understanding this about the nature of cats made this particular audition on America’s Got Talent a bit nerve-wracking. Admit it, you were wondering the whole time whether the cats would actually perform the tricks they have been trained to do. A cat will only do what it wants to do and only when it wants to do it. No amount of prodding or coaxing from you will make a difference.

Despite what we all know about those cute, furry and cuddly felines, they took the AGT stage and put on one of the most adorable performances you’ll ever see. Moments into their routine, the entire studio audience, including all four of the show’s judges, was on their feet, giving the felines a well-deserved standing ovation.

As would be expected after such a remarkable performance, the judges showered the cats and their trainers with compliments, giving them four unanimous yes votes and advancing them to the next round.

The America’s Got Talent crowd went wild as a young woman nailed incredible animal impressions. The gifted 11-year-old demonstrated her jaw-dropping talent for mimicking the sounds of some beloved animals. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to listen to the young woman’s spot-on impressions of some members of the animal community.

Shows like America’s Got Talent, The Voice and American Idol are all hoping to find some previously undiscovered talent. For those who tune in weekly to those programs, that’s what they expect to come across as well. Why else would they watch with such consistency and anticipation? Most people want to know about the next big thing, and, in some cases, that comes from those shows.

The Voice and American Idol are programs primarily focused on singers and musicians. America’s Got Talent is slightly different. While singers and musicians commonly take the AGT stage, the show casts a wide net, incorporating a diverse range of talented individuals. This expansive and inclusive field of talent also includes people who can make familiar sounds, such as an 11-year-old girl.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman walked out onto the AGT stage, and after a quick back-and-forth with the judges, got right into her act. Her talent is not typically seen or heard on the popular show. She quickly demonstrated her ability to mimic and imitate the sounds of several animals with expert precision.

The crowd and even the show’s four judges were absolutely blown away by what they were hearing. The studio audience was on its feet, applauding because they absolutely loved what they were hearing. She sounded exactly like the animals she was attempting to imitate.

At one point during her audition, Howie Mandel was left with his mouth hanging open, astonished at her incredible sounds.

It was no surprise that the young woman received four yes votes from the show's judges, sending her into the next round.

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.”

Ed Sheeran's cover draws adorable and unexpected audience members. Every once in a while, the internet hands us a moment so gentle it feels like a deep breath we didn’t know we were holding. That’s exactly what happens when you stumble across a video from Plume Music. His audience isn’t one you’d expect, but if you love wildlife, or quiet beauty that feels almost sacred, you’re going to want to linger here awhile.

Perched on a hill, Plume looks like an old soul perfectly at home in the world. He sits comfortably in a chair, pink guitar resting in his hands, suspenders holding up his pants like they’ve been doing this faithful work for decades. There’s nothing rushed about him. Nothing performative. Just a man, a guitar, and a wide-open landscape that feels like it’s listening, too.

Then he begins to sing.

It’s a slow, unfolding version of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect,’ softened and stretched like honey poured over time. His voice doesn’t demand attention; it invites it. The kind of song you’d expect to drift through an early morning, when the air is still, and the light hasn’t decided what it wants to be yet. The music feels peaceful. Almost magical. The kind that makes you sit a little straighter without realizing why.

And just when you think the moment has reached its peak, it somehow deepens.

A giraffe wanders into view.

Then another.

They approach with the kind of curiosity only animals seem to have—unbothered, unhurried, wholly present. They sniff the guitar. They listen. They stay. And suddenly you’re watching something that feels like it belongs in a children’s book or a dream you’ll wish you could return to later.

As a mom, I couldn’t help but imagine how lovely it would be to be serenaded like that—coffee in hand, walking through the backyard in the quiet of morning while music floats through the air. No noise. No rushing. Just beauty meeting you where you are. And yes, I’ll admit it, I felt a little jealous of the giraffes, but more enchanted and completely undone in the best way.

There’s something about watching animals pause for music that reminds us of what we’ve forgotten. That wonder doesn’t need an audience. That beauty doesn’t need applause. Sometimes it just needs a pink guitar, an open hill, and a song sung slowly enough for the soul to catch up.
And for a few minutes, thanks to Plume, the world feels softer.

Every once in a while, the internet gifts us a moment so tender and unexpected that it hushes the noise of the world for just a breath. And this one? Oh friend, this one might owl-ways stay with you. Watch as this owl adores a stunning ‘Over The Rainbow’ rendition. 

The musician at the center of the viral clip goes by the name Plume—a gentle, soft-spoken guitarist with a gifted voice and an audience unlike any other. While most performers dream of bright stages and crowds, Plume chooses a quieter calling. 

He sings to animals. Yes, animals. Giraffes stretch their long necks toward him as if trying to get closer to the melody. Tigers blink slowly, soaking in every note. Lemurs sway. Even bears seem softened by the warmth of his voice.

But one encounter has captured hearts around the world in a way that feels stitched straight out of God’s own creation. The video begins with Plume sitting alone on a weathered park bench, guitar settling comfortably across his lap. But then you notice something different in terms of the audience. 

That’s when she arrives: an owl perched nearby, leaning forward with wide amber eyes and unmistakable curiosity. It’s almost as if she’s asking, “Whoooo are you?” Before acknowledging her, Plume begins to play “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” And from the very first chord, this owl reacts in a way no one expected.

Her head swivels in every delightful direction—left, right, nearly upside-down—trying to catch every shimmering strand of music. The moment is adorable, mesmerizing, completely “owl-dorable.” And then it happens: the owl begins to sing.

She does so with the tiniest, sweetest peeps—soft little squeaks that fall right into the melody like she’s harmonizing with him. Viewers across the internet were captivated. “Music truly is a universal language,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “She’s singing with you. Incredible. Music heals all souls.” Someone else noted with a laugh, “The moment you stopped, she said, ‘Okay, bye!’”

And honestly? Same, friend. Same.

When Plume strummed the final note, she lifted her wings and glided away as if the concert had ended right on cue. It was delicate, perfectly timed, and strangely profound.

Maybe that’s why videos like this settle so deeply into us. In a world heavy with hurry, noise, and division, this tiny moment on a park bench offers a gentle truth: creation still sings. And sometimes, if we slow down long enough, it sings back.

God wove music into the world long before humanity had words for it. Birds harmonize at dawn. Whales compose underwater symphonies. And apparently, owls squeak along to classic melodies. 

Watching Plume interact with wildlife reminds us that beauty still breaks into the ordinary. That God’s creation is listening. That sometimes the sermon comes feathered, swiveling its head, offering small peeps of wonder.

Maybe that’s the miracle.

Job 12:10 “In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” 

A cat handled a bothersome dog in the most unexpected and hilarious way possible. The feline was clearly finished dealing with the canine and let its animal buddy know that by doing something laugh-out-loud funny. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the cat did to communicate that it was done dealing with the dog.

Dogs and cats have, for the longest time, been portrayed as mortal enemies, with both of them determined to see the other’s destruction. Of course, like most things we see in movies and television, that is not true. There might be a kernel of truth in how dogs and cats act and feel toward one another, but it has most certainly been highly exaggerated.

We can all agree that the way dogs and cats perceive each other has been significantly exaggerated. However, some moments make you stop and think, “Well, maybe they do have a strong dislike for one another.” They might not be trying to off one another. Still, they will do things in the most unexpected manner, demonstrating their frustration with each other. A clip posted on YouTube is a perfect and hilarious example that shows some dogs and cats might not be the best of friends.

In the short video, a cat is inside the house, while the dog is outside, looking into the residence. They are looking at one another through the back door. More than likely, the poor dog simply wants to come inside where it’s nice and warm, and where food is likely to be found.

However, the cat is not having it. As the clip began, the cat let out a meow and unexpectedly turned away from the dog, instead doing something that signaled it was done communicating with and looking at the animal standing outside. The cat walks over and shuts the door on the dog. The cat’s problem has disappeared, at least temporarily.
