Most cats are your boss, it is a universally acknowledged fact. Some cats are assertive and may stop short of all-out aggression. But experts believe most cats are adept at designing social hierarchies, in which one cat calls the shots and others are subordinates. It’s usually based on who is the biggest cat and has the scariest meow. It’s like playing chicken meets Mexican standoff.
Bossy cats will go to any length to get what they want, simply because they are confident and see you as pliable. Do you share your house with a bossy cat? We would wager, yes, you do.
Petition to Add "Pouch Potatoes" to the Dictionary
Few things are as adorable as baby kangaroos, all snug and safe inside their mother’s pouch. We weren’t ready for "pouch potatoes," however. Our hearts melted. It's got to be comfy in there, and would probably make for the most epic naps.
Fun fact: Male kangaroos are often referred to as "jacks," "boomers," and "bucks," whereas female kangaroos are referred to as "jills," "does," or "flyers." If you tell an Australian you saw a jack, jill, and a joey in a mob, they know exactly what you mean. Australians claim to speak English, but between the accent and all that jargon - are we sure they do?
Chasing Cars Around Our Heads
This one’s a hoot! Holden F is a clever third-grader who has hopefully scored an A+ on this assignment. Lazy dogs running around parked cars has us in stitches! Ever wonder what dogs would do when they finally caught up with cars?
After all the adrenaline and the relentless chasing, is this all there is? An unresponsive, stationary car? Would they run around it regardless or not know what to do with themselves? Knowing dogs, they wouldn't let something like logic get in the way of their fun - they would see the bright side. Like how they subdued their pray into a fright so great that they can't move. Then, they would probably feel pretty proud of themselves.
We Understand!
Clowns and feeling funny are synonymous, just not in the way one would think. We feel for this lion. The poor guy should have watched what he ate a little more closely.
Clowns mean to make us laugh, and perhaps a few of them succeed. But more often than not, they evoke a range of mixed emotions instead, from humor and sheer terror to the most baffling melancholy and ennui. We wonder where the deep-seated fear of clowns that exists in so many of us comes from? Maybe it's the fact that they look quasi-human, and that's creepy in and of itself.
A Well-Behaved Leprechaun
Behold! A leprechaun that takes road safety seriously! Do our brains and eyes deceive us? Surely, this must be some kind of mistake. The world knows leprechauns as restless and amusing beings, always up for a little mischief. Still, they're not crazy, and they don't have a death wish. Any leprechaun knows that there is no crazier creature than a driver who thinks they own the road. Why take any chances?
Running a red light is on-brand for these mythical creatures, or so we thought. This changes everything. Who knows, one might even find that pot of gold by simply being a law-abiding citizen. What a dream!
