Step right up and see the silliest-named animals on the whole internet! We've got cats, dogs, birds, and more with some very silly names that they've been given by their respective animal shelters. Next up,, read about these potluck dinners that went absolutely off the rails, like one person who admitted, that “Six people brought the same Walmart potato salad.”

Landlords really do not seem to care about leaning into the parody versions of themselves. Every summer, I cringe at the lease renewal process that I have to undergo in order to argue my way out of a ridiculous rent increase. The worst part of it all is that most landlords I have had to interact with are not even savvy negotiators, yet the desperation to not have to move always ends up taking over. Here, we have a couple of tenants who were specifically told by their landlord that he would be d…

Things that you may think are common sense are also the things that some people have never heard of before. Next up, read about these people's terrible neighbor situations, like one person who wrote that their “ entitled neighbor wasn't happy with my parking job, so they blocked me in .”

Each year, millions of cats and dogs get adopted out, and someone at the shelters will have to name them. According to Forbes, the number of pups who got their fur-ever home in the US last year was 1.5 million. That's just counting dogs—but shelters also house plenty of cats, and about 978,000 of the little scoundrels were adopted last year. Now, there aren't millions of pigs, lizards, rabbits, or birds sitting in the shelters, but a few of them always come through these shelters' doors, too! A…

One dude was the worst kind of friend you could have. Let's call him Ken. See, Ken had a friend by the name of… let's say, Scott. Ken and Scott were buddies, and when Ken got himself into a tight spot at the ripe age of 28, Scott let him sleep at his place (for free), bought him groceries, and even took care of his cat. All of which he really didn't have to do. Ken didn't work, didn't want to look for a job, and one day, disappeared, leaving his cat with Scott, who didn't particularly want his…

Being a pet owner is a big commitment. For the entire life of some hapless critter–whether it's a dog, a cat, a bird, or a fish–you're responsible for taking care of your pet. After so many years, it's easy to grow so fond of an animal that it becomes a part of your family, which is why the cat lover in our next story was ready to fight tooth and nail for their rescue feline.

If you're having trouble with your roommate, you are not alone. I can count on one hand the number of roommates I ever got along with… And I've lived with quite a lot. Some of them were great friends who turned into enemies after we moved in together, and others were strangers who became best friends. Weird, but that's life. This person (OP) was furious when their roommate demanded they pay an extra $50 in utilities after using the microwave 3 times and ‘leaving the kitchen light on’. OP refuse…

You can literally just name your pet anything, no one will stop you. You can't go naming your human baby “ Cool Ranch Dorito, ” but there are plenty of kittens out there who would love that name. That's part of the beauty of naming your pet: they have no idea what their name means. They probably respond to the inflection of your voice when you talk to them more so than responding to their actual name. Giving your pet a quirky name is a great conversation starter, especially for all the times yo…

Using your cats to get back at your sister's dogs is really putting the “pet” in petty. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/EightBitTrash, who might as well be responsible for the premise of the next Cats vs. Dogs movie (not that there should be another one). The Redditor, who has two cats, lives with her sister, who has two d

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory “gifts” for their owners to find.

Rescue animals can sometimes choose their rescuer. As human beings, we like to maintain a semblance of control over our own lives, but when it comes to pet ownership, nobody is ever fully prepared for the unconditional love that comes along with animal adoption. However, that love can come as a surprise to those who aren't even looking for it.

If you have a pet , chances are you renamed them once you brought them home to you. Since there are hundreds of animals at shelters at any given time, they often just get random generic pet names like Buddy or Max. Then, once you've adopted your little fuzzy bundle of joy, you might want to let your kids name the new family pet, or give them the name you've always wanted your fur baby to have. Well, these animal shelters got a little more creative with their pet names. Whether they let children…

Information on the Internet is basically infinite, but (and maybe we're going out on a limb here) cat people's knowledge on the feline persuasion seems to be even more infinite. Sounds impossible, but the internet and the plethora of cat people giving and heeding information on it proves us time and time again that the limit does not exist to cat knowledge. Maybe it's the toxoplasma, but cat people could truly talk about cats forever. So when homeowners came to Reddit asking for advice on how t…

Most animal lovers would agree that any human who mistreats or abandons a pet doesn't deserve to get another one just because they feel like it, but what would your conscience say if you had the power to stop that villain from adopting more pets? Would you let them go home with the 'kitten of the week'? Or would you stop them in their tracks?

These beings are so powerful. It can't even be explained.

How do cats know exactly where we don't want them to be? They're so skilled at picking their optimal nap spot, which is often your warm laptop keyboard or a fragile package.
