cats

Well, I guess this may answer the question, "Are cats smarter than dogs?'' once and for all. Or maybe it's just that this cat's bigger!

This week's list of GIFs is particularly awesome. We have more than a few funny animal GIFs but don't act too surprised. Sometimes we at TheFW just can't help spreading our love for cats doing adorably funny things, such as our first GIF of a cat finally figuring out who was really behind her toy.

In this video, several adorable kitties get a lesson in basic physics when they become intensely fascinated with a kinetic motion desk toy. We hope you're paying attention, kitties. There will be a test later.

Cats rather famously do not like water. Except when they do like water, because then, apparently, they love it. Witness this kitty in the shower, who seems to be enthralled with the streams of water coming out of it and not to mind getting soaked...

Wild-eyed carnivores recently gathered in Peru to take part in a controversial feline-feasting frenzy in honor of one of their ancestors. Every September, people gather in the streets of La Quebrada to pay homage to Santa Efgenia with a full day of music, dancing and, well, cat meat, for a ceremony appropriately referred to as the Gastronomic Festival of the Cat.

From the looks of this video, the poodle mix dog got stuck under the building and his little friend, the black cat, came along to save the day. And they all lived happily ever after. As far as we know.

I heard that cats are one of the most popular things people look at on the internet, so while trying to figure out this phenomenon, I stumbled upon 'Dramatic Cat.' Why have over 22 million people have seen this video? Because it's only 22 seconds long and it's stupidly hilarious. Enjoy!

We still can’t quite decide if ‘Gangnam Style’ is hilarious or slightly nightmare-inducing. One thing is for sure though--the mega-hit is straight up addicting, although we’re not exactly sure why.

A six year-old cat in Michigan who was shot in the head with a crossbow  is expected to survive.  That's the good news. The bad news is that investigators believe the cat was shot on purpose!

In this hilarious video, students at Costa Rica’s University of Peace are being lectured on something called “theory of change.” If it was anything like our college courses their minds are wandering and they’re getting a little drowsy. Then, suddenly, a cat crashes through the ceiling in the front of the room, sending the class into hysterics. Ceiling cat strikes again!

Feeling blue? Instead of sitting down with a tub of ice cream, cuddle up with a dog or cat instead — research shows the unconditional love offered by our furry friends can brighten our moods and reduce tension.

Meet Stubbs, a sassy cat who has recently rocketed to fame. As mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, he attracts visitors from far and wide, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the longest serving mayors in the US. Known locally as “Mayor Stubbs,” the feline’s popularity is undisputed: he has 1,000 friends on Facebook, which exceeds the town’s 900 residents.

What was the #1 item of interest in my news feed this morning?  A video that claimed to be of two cats that had been under anesthesia.  The video was cute, cats wobbling across the floor, in search of their food bowls like a couple of drunkards.

A Dutch artist has outfitted his taxidermied cat with propellers, turning 'Orville' into a helicopter.  It's being displayed currently at an art festival in Amsterdam, but I'm hoping it all turns out to be a hoax. Watch the videos and let us know what you think.

I am not a huge sports fan, but even I was confused when I saw this basketball team assume a football formation for their next play.

It seems unbelievable, but a cat in Lake Charles, Louisiana, celebrated her 26th birthday over the weekend. She's the oldest we could find in Louisiana, but she's not the only 'Senior Feline' we found!

I love nature shows, and this video of a lion catching its prey is great!  You'll see the lion begin a moderate stalk, and then full speed!!   (Via Youtube)

Another day, another hot new internet craze. First came “planking,” followed by “Tebowing” and most recently “breading cats.” And now, “Lion King-ing,” the act of raising a pet into the air like Simba in ‘The Lion King,’ is all the rage.

A surly-looking cat named Pancake bangs out on a tune on a cat-shaped keyboard that plays — wait for it — meows as notes. Is this the new Keyboard Cat?

Sago Palms, or Cycas revoluta, are very pretty as a landscaping plant, but they are VERY poisonous to dogs, cats, and humans!!
