Even our smaller pets -- like rabbits, hamsters, and mice -- can enjoy a very Merry Christmas with just the right gift. Since one of their favorite activities in chewing and gnawing a Nut Knot Nibbler Chew Toy is a great and affordable gift for your small pet.

Pit bulls have gotten a really bad reputation over the past couple of decades and it has led to numerous communities banning the breed. While some of the dogs have shown aggressive and even violent tendencies, they can also have a sweet, caring side that gets far less press. This has led to many debates over whether it is really the dogs or the owners that are at fault. Lilly is one pit bull that has challenged the bad press after saving her owner from an oncoming train.

What the heck is Catmilk? Made and marketed by Whiskas, Catmilk sounds like milk collected from lactating cats but actually the opposite is true. Catmilk is a drink for kittens and cats that's 98% lactose-reduced, since cats are naturally lactose intolerant. Who knew?

Over the years, there's been legal cases where pets became the sole beneficiaries of their masters' fortunes. The most famous case in point is when New York hotel magnate Leona Helmsley (aka the "Queen of Mean") bequeathed the bulk of her $12 million estate to her Maltese dog, appropriately named "Trouble -- instead of any of her relatives. But up till now, a pet's legal rights is a nebulous area of the law where they literally have no say in legal matters. That was -- until Tommy the chimpanzee . . .

Animals make some really odd noises, many of which don't sound like they should be coming out of that particular species.  There are some interesting sounds in this video.  And it also taught me that goats can be scary.

Although animals don’t always act like we’d like them to, I think that punishment should rarely go beyond a rolled up newspaper. The police in India and Nigeria don’t agree, as they’ve arrested an elephant for vandalism and a cow for murder!

As I sit here writing this I'm eating a sausage sandwich with potato chips.  I should switch my diet to carrots.  Then I'd be as cute as this little squirrel.

The cuttlefish is just plain odd.  It's sort'a built inside out, has odd sexual rituals, and can change colors to suit it's environment.  This funny (yet educational) video shows how strange these creatures are...

Here are the top five pet owner favorites....

They are our best friends, family members, and roommates. With all they do for us do they really deserve to be treated like this? Maybe not, but they sure do make your heart melt like butter in a biscuit!

A lucky turkey by the name of Popcorn secured a pardon from the Leader of the Free World the day before Thanksgiving. The holiday ritual is America's way of honoring a long-standing tradition in a very symbolic way. In the 66th annual presentation of the National Thanksgiving Turkey, courtesy of the National Turkey Federation, the White House drew an analogy to the current box office hit, "Hunger Games."

Once the Thanksgiving buffet has been consumed, the final touchdown have been scored and the parades reach the end of their routes, it’s time to get ready for the December holidays.
