Cats and cows are two animals that don't seem to be all that likely to end up as friends -- other than the obvious attraction of milk. Yet it seems to be fairly common for the two to become best buddies. A story that has been floating around the internet for quite a while shows how a stray cat on a kibbutz in Israel found the love and companionship it needed in the form of a friendly calf.

Hey small dog owners! Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of toys in the big name pet stores are made for larger dog breeds instead your Yorkies, Pomeranians and Chihuahuas? Don’t let the big dogs have all the fun! I’ve found three fantastic dog toy creators who have your toy dog in mind!

When you adopt an animal from a shelter you are giving the animal a second (or third) chance at life. It is so important to rescue these animals and those taken in by rescue organizations rather than buying them commercially that you may want to let the world know with one of these cute I Rescued My Best Friend magnets. It's a way for you to encourage others to adopt a rescued animal in the future.

These oddly-shaped puffer fish are an excellent pet for a mid-level aquarium enthusiast looking for something exotic to add to the mix. While the dog faced puffer is a fun fish to observe, they do have some specific needs that must be addressed if you’re going to safely integrate one into your tank…

A recent survey of hundreds of veterinarians was conducted to discover which types of domesticated dogs are the most “talkative” or “vocal.” Not the loudest, mind- but which dog species are the most likely to share their feelings with their yippy, barky and whiney words?

I called out Broderpress earlier this month to showcase some of the best designer animal décor available online, and Shannon Broder herself sent me this adorable stegosaurus to put to the test. Spoiler Alert: It’s really great!

Many areas require people to wear life vests when engaging in water sports. While dogs aren't covered under this rule, it isn't a bad idea to make sure that your pooch pals are equally well-equipped for their own safety. Just because they can dog paddle doesn't mean that they are expert swimmers or that they won't get overly tired if they have to tread water for awhile. To this end Ruffwear has come up with the K-9 Float Coat™.

You don't often think about what a dog can contribute to mankind during his or her lifetime, especially since they live relatively short lives. In human years, Giant George would have been 56 years old next month, but at the age of seven (in dog years), the world lost a gentle giant who gave the world as much as he got.

We all want the best for our feathered friends, so I’ve put together a list of useful information for your bird to get the most nutrition out of its diet. When your bird is healthy, satisfied and happy, everyone’s a winner!

Who doesn't want to cuddle with a baby elephant?  Seriously... It may be on my bucket list to do what this guy does.  And can you get cuter (is that a word?) than a baby elephant that just wants to cuddle?  No.  You can't.

If you can’t bear to spoil the big reveal about what the mythical Himalayan human/primate/combo (?) Yeti creature might actually be, then stop reading here!

There are a number of reasons that you may need to fly with your dog as an airline passenger instead of as cargo -- from service dogs to best buds. Flying can be a stressful experience for dogs -- the airport crowds, security checks, and turbulence are only a few of the issues that face them when traveling. Now Air Hollywood, the world's largest aircraft-themed film studio, is offering classes to train dogs to handle air travel calmly and appropriately.

Could it be the apocalypse like Dr. Peter Venkman predicted in Ghostbusters?  This video shows that we may be in trouble...

A hotel near Melbourne, Australia was invaded by a very cute, but unwelcome, guest recently when a koala bear sauntered in like it belonged there. Closed circuit cameras caught its journey as it walks up the stairs and into the Alexandra House in Hamilton, just west of the capital city. Looking as though it was on its own personal pub crawl he made a beeline for the bar.

Everyone knows that a group of dogs is called a pack and that a gathering of birds is a flock, but what do you call a crowd or gorillas? Kangaroos? Butterflies? Official proper phrases that no one outside of nature nerds like us will ever use, that’s what!

There are certain things in life that tell me to run away.  When I see giant schools of fish leaping through the water toward me my initial reaction is that something much larger is chasing them.  So why these guys stayed in the water is beyond me...

As the American alligator population continues to thrive under their protected status in Florida, a few chance meetings between humans and gators are bound to happen. Take these two incidents from the past few days for example:

Halloween is nearly here and one of the hottest music videos of all time, Thriller, has become a part of the holiday. You can dress your dog as the great Michael Jackson this year wearing the now iconic jacket from the video. This King of Pop Dog Costume will have your pooch being the "thriller" this year.

Three very lucky special needs cats in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada have been given an amazing gift by their owner -- the chance to spend time outdoors safely. The owner, who goes by the name dawnwastaken on Reddit, had decided to quit smoking and needed a project to distract her from the cravings. So she decided to build a cat patio -- or "catio" -- for her trio of felines. The result was cat heaven.
