We’ve had our four foster kittens for nearly a week now, and it’s safe to say that it was a good idea. They’ve got all of us wrapped around their little paws, but we’re making sure not to get too attached!

It’s been so long since we’ve had kittens (our three family cats are all pushing 13 years old) that we’d forgotten what distinct little personalities they can all have.
We’ve got one that’s very shy and cautious, but once she warms up to you she’s your best friend (she’s the one whose tummy you can see in the crate in …read more

This may become a regular series, the way we’re going! We had our home inspection this morning for the kitten fostering we’ve been looking into, and have been approved!

Within the next few hours we’ll be getting a litter of four kittens who will likely only be with us overnight, as we’ll have to take them into Petco tomorrow for an adoption event, and there’s a very good chance they’ll all find new homes. I’m very excited just the same, and think this is going to be a great experience for all of us.

Yesterday my family and I stopped at the pet store to pick up some dog food. In the front of the store they had cages set up with cats and kittens available for adoption, so of course we had to take a little detour.

While my girls ooh’d and ahh’d over the kittens, my husband and I got to talking with one of the volunteers about the three cats we already have. Though we’re not “in the market” for any more pets we do miss having kittens around (and the girls have never had kittens!), the volunteer mentioned that they can …read more

I hope you have nothing better to do today because I have a feeling a lot of extra time is going to be spent kitten watching!
Hot on the heals of the Shiba Inu puppy cam from a few months ago comes this adorable live webcam of three playful kittens — Shanghai, Seven, and Tweet — and their mama Daphne.

The Super Bowl is just over a week away, which means one thing: Puppy Bowl V!
The Puppy Bowl is an annual broadcast by Animal Planet that coincides with the Big Game. For its fifth year, the Bowl will feature over a dozen rough and tumble puppies of all breeds romping around a small “field” with cameras catching every playful minute. It will also bring back the cute “tailgating puppies” from the third year, and will introduce Pepper the Parrot, who will sing a unique rendition of the National Anthem!
The Bissel Kitty Halftime Show was introduced in the second year of …read more

This Australian Toyota commercial kind of defies description. It’s cute and creepy at the same time!

It’s trouble for me to watch videos of kittens. Three cats is more than enough but even my husband, who is staunchly ‘no more pets,’ has a hard time watching kitten videos because they’re so cute, so he doesn’t. But I can’t help it. Until I got to the end of this one and realized “Oh yeah, that.”
WARNING: If you don’t have cats you will be squicked out at the end of the video!

Every year for the last few years Animal Planet has been broadcasting their Puppy Bowl pre-game show. Tune in Sunday, February 3 from 3-6 PM (ET/PT) to see puppies of all breeds do what puppies do best: frolic, tumble, and make you say awww!
From baby beagles to mini dachshunds to mixed breeds — viewers are in for a fantastic lineup that’s itching to play in a winning combination of tackles, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The renowned Harry Kalas, voice of NFL Films, returns to call the play-by-plays of this year’s game.
Cat lovers aren’t left out either. …read more

I love when stories of interspecies interaction end happily!
Six abandoned kittens have found an unexpected new mother figure – a pet rabbit. Veterinary nurse Melanie Humble took the three-week-old kittens to her Aberdeen home.
The kittens seemed to think Summer the rabbit was their mother and began to climb all over her and try to feed from her. “The abandoned kittens were handed in when they were about three weeks old and I took them home.
“Summer the rabbit was taken inside on Bonfire Night because of the fireworks and the kittens seemed to really like her and thought she was …read more
