Cat owners know who’s really in charge. What kitty wants, kitty gets. If they want a warm place to sleep, then they’re going to plop down wherever they find one. Sometimes that means your lap, your keyboard, or your literal face.
But now there is a heated cat house, so your cat won’t need to take over your space just to get cozy. It’s also helpful for cats who live outdoors to stay warm in the colder months — for example, feral cats with human caretakers.
Store it in a garage, car port, porch, or shed. As long as there’s an outlet within reach, it’ll work!
The cat house by K&H Pet Products is currently $68 on Amazon. Check it out!

There are two removable door flaps in front of the exits to keep your cat fully protected from the weather. Also, there are exits on either side, so kitty won’t be trapped inside if another animal tries to come in through one door.
The temperature is controlled by an internal preset thermostat, which heats up a 20-watt MET safety listed heating pad inside. The walls and roof are insulated.
The cat house is supposed to be waterproof, but reviewers say the waterproofing isn’t totally effective. So if you purchase it for the outdoors, you may need to cover it with a tarp or table to keep it dry in the rain or snow.

If you plan to keep this cat house indoors and your house already runs warm, you can also purchase an unheated version — it’s still insulated, but doesn’t have the heating pad inside.
Also, K&H makes cat houses in several different shapes if this style of house isn’t your thing.
It’s the perfect way to spoil your cat and make their lives even more comfy, just like they deserve.

Part of your job as a parent is looking at your kids’ wonky drawings and lying about how great and realistic they look. You might even keep some of those wonky drawings forever out of sheer love and appreciation.
But one mom on Reddit really went above and beyond. She not only saved the portrait that her daughter drew about 10 years ago, but she recreated her own makeup to look just like the drawing. The results are spot-on!
The girl’s portrait of the mom includes five large eyelashes on each eye, thick messy red lips, outlined eyebrows, and bright yellow hair. Oh, and bags underneath the eyes. The mom’s recreation really highlights the eyelashes, lipstick, and eyebrows.
Check it out…
My kid did this portrait of me over 10 years ago. I still look the same, IMO. from funny
As you can see, the mom even framed the portrait — she writes in the comments of the post that it’s the “most priceless masterpiece I own.” As for the makeup, she used eyeliner for the eyelashes, painted over her eyebrows in white, and liberally applied red lipstick.
The one detail she missed? The three rows of teeth that are inexplicably in her daughter’s drawing.
This child-portrait-come-to-life would be a bit frightening to come across in real life — one Redditor said “it’s like the Joker was a soccer mom.”
But it’s an impressively accurate recreation, and it shows just how truly endless a mom’s love is!

Fans of Lord of the Rings will enjoy this! The North Yorkshire Police department found a unique silver ring and wrote a Facebook post to try to locate its owner.
The thing is, the local police force had no idea they’d get a lot of charming trolls!

The post explains,
“Officers in York are trying to locate the owner of a distinctive silver ring and are appealing to the public for their help.
The ring was recovered with property which had been stolen in a house burglary in York in February 2019.
Sadly despite their efforts, officers have been unable to trace the ring back to its rightful owner.”
One fellow local police troupe had a laugh at their expense!

Yet another clever sleuth tried to “help.”

Of course, some people chose to mess with the police force by using Harry Potter references!

Thankfully the North Yorkshire Police department were good sports about their now-viral post—and they were able to find the One Ring’s rightful owner!
Posted by North Yorkshire Police on Monday, February 3, 2020
The original photo caption reads,
“Hello everyone, we have an update for you.
A spokeswoman for the (North York)Shire Police, said: “We have had a lot of laughs thanks to you, our fabulous quick-witted followers – it’s been an unexpected but welcome relief from some of the more distressing things we deal with. We have been amazed at how far the story has travelled and have had lots of enquiries from members of the public who believe the ring could be theirs. Including five hobbits (two didn’t want it, they’d had enough of it and are chilling in the west) an elf and a couple of wizards.
We are delighted to let you know that the ring has now been reunited with its rightful owner – Mike Taylor from York.
Thank you again for your support with the appeal and for giving us a happy ending.”
At least the North Yorkshire Police were able to help someone and enjoy some LOTR-related quips in the process.

Parenting is a tough gig. It doesn’t just change a couple’s life, it also changes their relationship.
One mom confessed that her husband hides in the bathroom, usually when her twin babies need them. She mentioned that the couple are both on parental leave so they can adjust to taking care of their children. She posted about the problem on Reddit’s famous AITA thread, and people became heavily invested in the issue.
Twitter commenters also had a heated debate about the issue.
AITA for turning off the wifi when my husband camps in the bathroom for extended lengths of time? https://t.co/jUqXQQRMFr pic.twitter.com/Ro6E6d5GpJ

AITA for turning off the wifi when my husband camps in the bathroom for extended lengths of time. from AmItheAsshole
Some people were on her side.
If with the WiFi he’s pooping for 25 minutes and without the WiFi, he’s not … that proves it’s not a bathroom issue, but an avoidance issue. Dude is using, and exaggerating, his medical issue to get out of parental responsibilities and putting it all on you, then getting upset.

Yet another Twitter user supported her.
NTA. Dude spends most of the day unburdened by anything, working on his cars and playing Diablo… and somehow *only* needs to poop when called in for childcare every couple of hours.
Dude should be letting you catch up on sleep
— Rico "Suave" MacAllister-Rowe (@ElSuavenero) January 8, 2020
Others said she should leave him.
A man who uses paternity leave as an excuse to have days off it’s not a good man at all it is to spend time with your children and take care of your children. What an excuse for a man !! If he doesn’t grow up I would leave !! You’re doing it practically on your own anyways!!
— Dev (@DevonCristinaxo) January 8, 2020
Some people felt the couple needed communication.
Both. YTA because you said "today I started a new rule." Talk to your spouse. I'm not sure if he is shirking duties or not, but this relationship feels more mother and son than wife and husband. Punishing him isn't going to magically turn him into a better father. TALK.
— Kevin Weaver (@kpweaver27) January 8, 2020
Most people were supportive of the wife, but it’s clear that there’s a lot we don’t know about the couple’s day to day life.

The Home2 Suites by Hilton Biloxi in D’Iberville, Mississippi, provides their guests with a very special amenity–dogs.
Right on the property, at least one foster dog is available for play, walks, kisses…and, according to Insider, adoption.
The program is called “Fostering Hope,” and it’s a partnership with the Humane Society of South Mississippi to provide guests with a touch of home.
If someone isn’t actively missing their own pet during their travels, they are wholly invited to foster a dog during their stay. That could mean walking, playing with, feeding and, perhaps, a sleepover in the guest room.
If a love connection is made, guests can even adopt their new fur-friend and give them a forever home.
The Humane Society’s Instagram is filled with adorable pictures of these dogs all looking for homes.
Like Kris!
Thanks to this unique program, more than 60 dogs have been adopted by guests since its start in October, 2018. Both guests and staff have found wonderful animal companions through the hotel.
The program has been so successful the company is working to expand it to other Home2 Suites locations throughout the nation. This is such a sweet and unusual way to get to know a dog before adoption.
Forget the cheap souvenir! Bring home a new best friend!

Dogs have been known to be awesome caretakers, make us smile, provide endless fodder for memes, and they even save lives!
Dalmatians tend to be trained to assist firefighters, and German Shepherds are known to be great assistants for police forces all over the country, and many dogs can be trained to be great service pets.
Of course, one adorable German Shepherd totally failed his exams.
Meet Ryker. This video captured all of his failures for our amusement.
Instead of helping his trainer in any of his tests, he just wanted to play and have fun!
Ryker shows us that even though he may not be able to help someone in need, he can help a lot of people laugh. The video went viral and several people had something to say.
One commenter said he’s still a very good boy.
this dog literally failed every single test thrown at him to become a service dog and i am scream laughing. but imho he’s still a very very good boy. pic.twitter.com/fGdiUbmw5o

Another Twitter user said the test was rigged!
Who puts a tennis ball near a dog without expecting them to flip out?
It's not really fair when you put a tennis ball on the bottom of a walker. This clearly supperior at fetch…if you want a refrigerator brought to you, this your dog!
— Tim (@bluetorpedo123) February 25, 2020
Of course, some people shared stories about other dogs who’ve totally failed at being service dogs, such as a potentially blind dog that was supposed to help a blind human!
My friend has a seeing eye dog dropout because halfway through training they discovered the dog had cataracts. My friend explained “apparently they do not allow the blind to lead the blind.” But she’s very well behaved.

Another dog couldn’t follow basic directions!
A friend had a dog who flunked out of Hearing Dog school. He apparently kept trying to herd people *towards* fire when alarms went off.
— Nora Sawyer (@Nora_Sawyer) February 26, 2020
The training academy where Ryker is having a hard time as a student posted this video about his other activities. You know you want to take a peek!
Cheer up, Ryker! Despite your failure, the public loves you.
What did you think of this video and of Ryker’s behavior?
