animals

You just never know when Tumblr's wandering minds are going to band together to dish out some fresh and welcomed knowledge about your favorite little furry friends. In this case, we have some fun factoids floating around about why cats insist on rubbing their heads on humans. It's all good stuff. As if we needed any more reasons to love cats more than we already do. Check out another thread from Tumblr with this thread about Hollywood's toxic beauty standards. 

This "master in animal sciences" proceeded to get schooled in an enlightening Tumblr thread about how horses and their legs work. They previously assumed that horses could get around just fine on three legs without prosthetics, and were also 80% sure that people could not ride on them if they had three legs. Queue the educational Tumblr moment. 

The features and behaviors of different animals are so varied and weird and specific that it makes you wonder what kind of thinking would have went into them. A lot of these tweets about animal designs feel like a real "5 pm on a friday" kind of job. People put a lot of thought into how god would've made plants and animals.

We need more stories of this troublemaking Pomeranian, stirring up all kinds of ruckus around the neighborhood. Twitter user @Cmpriest, tells a hilarious story of "Chunk" being a big old rascal. 

There's a heavy duty version of just about everything. Mattresses, tools, horses and frogs all have their own absolute units. These big boys are gargantuan in stature and plump in frame. These absolute units are just too mighty for this little world. When you see a big boy you know what's up.

Man, you never want to underestimate the power of an enhanced magical cookie. This cat was certainly in for a wakeup call when they decided to play around with the magical cookie. We're just glad that everything worked out and that the adventurous cat is okay. 

This informative Tumblr thread shines light on the reasoning behind some people choosing to wear fur clothing, in spite of the controversy such a fashion decision can generate. Sounds like it boils down to the longevity of the clothing, and also how fur can potentially be most effective at keeping someone warm when they're trying to brave a dangerously cold Canadian arctic tundra. 

At times, it's like the universe is determined to bring us down. That said, it's still probably better for us to not focus on negative garbage 100 percent of the time. That makes it necessary to explore some wholesome memes to help wade through the muck. It's important to remember that some things are still nice.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the worryingly smart things that people's pets have done. We've all had those strange moments with our pets where they pretty much proved they're aware of a whole lot more than we give them credit for. It's time for that cat or dog to start chipping in on rent. 

Oh man, this is one of those true gems from the brilliant minds of the Tumblr world. We've got a story about the time that a dude ended up taking a feral cat in, and the beautiful friendship that blossomed from there. 

So many of us are prone to impulse buys during the holiday season. It's a time where we can fork over some of that hard-earned dough, and buy special gifts for the human beings we're grateful to share this strange existence with. With that being said, we've got to be careful to not cave for the irrational pet purchases. You've really got to think things through before bringing a new family member on board. Especially if it's a bird that's about to stir up a loud ruckus in your home. 

Sometimes it's the small details in life that give us immense satisfaction. What we've got is a pretty smart frog and a dad who knows the value of it. It just goes to show that humans will pack bond with just about anything, even Roombas. The thing is, they can also make enemies out of other things, like this dad and his spite cow.
