Deceptively Cute Kitty Waits Outside Cafe to Trick People into Letting Him Inside

Animals do the funniest things sometimes. Anyone who has pets or even spent an extended amount of time with someone else’s pets will attest to the fact that they have distinct personalities. Some of them are total sweethearts, while others are naughty little scamps.

Twitter user David Fucillo recently spotted a cat that falls into the latter category. He came upon the creature standing outside a cafe during a trip to New Orleans. The cat looked despondent and lost, like he probably needed to be let into that cafe. See?

“A woman was working inside so we knocked and pointed to the cat, asking if she belonged inside there,” David wrote on Twitter.

“The woman pointed to the sign which was to the left of the door.”

WOW. The cat is a Liar with a capital L.

Are you thinking “that is crazy I’ve never heard of a cat pretending to be hungry ever in my life”? Well, prepare to have your mind blown.

This is a thing.

Like a really common thing. Those greedy cats.

Anywho, the cafe liar’s name is apparently Squeak. She is “absolutely adored,” the owners of the cafe wrote on Twitter.

“Her owners have multiple cats, but Squeak is not a big fan of other cats. She likes people. In particular, she likes people who pet her.”

Clearly.

Cat, you are 100% forgiven for lying. Come here!!!

Still, they are pretty adorable and cuddly, and they do some pretty funny things.

Here are Tumblr’s BEST discussions on cats. And they are puuuurrrrrfect.

You Can Now Wear a Terrifyingly Realistic Mask of Your Cat’s Face

Calling all cat lovers: if you think your little fur baby is absolutely purr-fect, you can now become your cat! That’s right, there is now a company that will turn your kitty’s face into a startingly realistic mask that you can wear. You know, in case you wanted to take “crazy cat lad” to a whole other level.

The cat mask service is brought to you by a Japanese creative studio called Shindo Rinka, in collaboration with a modeling workshop called 91. Just take a photo of your cat in good lighting, send it to the company, and they’ll get to work.

The resulting mask is made of a 3D mold covered in fur. It’s so realistic that it’s too realistic. Like maybe you’ll forget that you’re a human underneath the mask, and you’ll start pooping in the litterbox, and your cat will get freaked out and run away from home, and then you won’t even have a cat, you’ll just BE your cat!

Or you could just take some creepy photos and call it a day.

Did I mention these masks cost upwards of $2,000? Each mask is completed by hand to look identical to your pet, and I mean look at it. That level of realism doesn’t come cheap.

The company does not offer a human mask for your cat… Yet.

This Hawaiian Cat Sanctuary is Home to Over 600 Kitties

If you’re a cat lover, then boy have I got a vacation destination for you! This place is absolutely teeming with kitties, and it also happens to be on the island paradise of Hawaii!

On the Hawaiian island of Lanai, the Lanai Cat Sanctuary is home to more than 600 stray kitties.

And yes, you can visit the sanctuary, play with all the cats, and even adopt some of them if you are so inclined.

The cats live in a fenced-in area about half the size of a football field, complete with all kinds of enclosures and holes to play in, on, and around.

Executive Director Keoni Vaughn says, “The average person who’s not a crazy cat person thinks, ‘Oh my God, [the sanctuary] has got to be gross and stink’—but it’s the absolute opposite. The two compliments we get the most are: A) It doesn’t smell, and B) It doesn’t feel like 600 cats.”

The sanctuary is currently being expanded and the goal is to have room for 1,200 cats at some point.

The sanctuary receives about 12,000 visitors each year. Lanai has a large feral cat problem, which is why the sanctuary was established.

Vaughn said about 40% of the sanctuary’s cats become socialized due to visitors, despite coming to the facility as feral animals.

If you can’t make it all the way to Hawaii, you can still make a donation and sponsor a kitty at the sanctuary and you’ll receive monthly updates and photos.

I’m currently looking into plane tickets to Hawaii…

New Survey Reveals Most People Are More Affection to Their Dogs Than to Their Humans

This isn’t really surprising, especially to dog owners. We humans are getting absolutely obsessed with our furbabies.

A recent survey on Rover.com found that, a lot of folks are far more affectionate and loving (in certain ways) towards their dogs than they are towards their own partners and spouses. According to te survey, nearly half of pet owners revealed they had plans to celebrate this past Valentine’s day with their pet.

Rover surveyed 1450 U.S. adults who are dating or in a relationship and found that 67% confess to gazing lovingly into their pet’s eyes and 33% do this more often with their dog than their spouse or significant other. 25% of dog owners take more pictures with their dog than the humans in their life, 25% spend more money on their dog than their partner, and 50% cuddle with their dog more often than the person they’re dating.

Not only that, but 41% of pet owners claim that they wouldn’t consider dating someone who didn’t get along with their pets and 53% would break up with a current partner if they were allergic to their beloved pets.

It’s not all one-sided, though. Phil Tedeschi, a University of Denver researcher and member of Rover’s Dog People Panel, says that our pooches experience and express empathy when they know we’re in distress.

Which is more than we can say for all significant others out there…

Check out the fun infographics below for more interesting stats on how pet owners treat their cuddle buddies as opposed to the humans they claim to love!

I mean. My dog was my first baby, so I get it. I’m sure you do, too.

Physicist Wins “Ig Noble” Prize for His Research on Whether Cats Should be Classified as a Liquid or Solid

The Ig Nobel Prize, awarded by Improbable Research, is a prize that celebrates the lighter side of science by awarding prizes to real, scientifically valid research that probably won’t actually advance mankind at all… but is hilarious nonetheless.

For example, physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin won the Ig Nobel Prize for his research paper on the rheology or deformation and flow of matter…of cats.

Photo Credit: Sad And Useless

A material must be able to modify its form to fit within a container. The action must also have a characteristic duration. In rheology, this is called the relaxation time. Determining if something is liquid depends on whether it’s observed over a time period that’s shorter or longer than the relaxation time.

So with regard to cats, clearly they can adapt their shape to their container if we give them enough time. In conclusion, based on the above theory, cats are a liquid if we give them the time to become liquid.

Photo Credit: Bored Panda

But are cats really a liquid? That remains inconclusive, but Fardin does believe that cats can be a solid or a liquid as he notes in Rheology Bulletin in 2014.

And, for any creature-conscious readers out that, he also mentions that no cats were harmed during his research. Even though they may look a little panicked in those containers, that’s just their faces. Whew!

Two Japanese Cats Keep Trying to Sneak In to this Museum – Every. Single. Day.

They say that art knows no bounds. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, or who you are. Art lovers can come from all walks of life, but the one thing most of take for granted is that all art lovers are humans. Well, get ready to shatter that illusion because these art enthusiasts are cats. The adorable one on the left is Ken Chan. The cute orange-y little girl is Gosaku, sometimes called Go-Chan

Photo Credit: Twitter

Their mission for years has been to visit the Hiroshima Onomichi City Museum of Art. However, since they are cats, they are unable to purchase tickets and are therefore prohibited from viewing the art. Also, being cats, they probably shouldn’t be near priceless and irreplaceable works, especially the textiles.

Still, this sort of narrow-minded thinking by management has not stopped Ken Chan and Go-Chan from trying to get a paw in the door for years.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Go-Chan is not as naughty, but every once in a while, she will try the door. Certainly, at Ken Chan’s urging.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The security guard, however, has a job to do and that is to keep two silly cats from pussyfooting around his museum.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Everyday is a stuggle for Ken Chan and Go-Chan.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Especially for Ken Chan, who loooooovvvvves the art. Please let me see the art.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Oh, Go-Chan. You too, again?

Photo Credit: Twitter

When will they ever learn?

Photo Credit: Twitter

Such willful little things to never give up on their dreams. Ken-chan and Go Chan, we hope you find a door left open accidentally soon. We’re cheering for you!

This Man’s Reaction to a Cat Interrupting His Interview Is Cracking the Internet up

If you have a cat, this video is going to speak to you – after all, no one understands better than cat owners that you have zero control over when and how you pay attention to your cat. They decide and you comply, or the claws and teeth will come out.

And Polish academic Dr. Jerzy Targalski seems like he gets that, too, based on his unsurprised and unruffled response to his ginger cat, Lisio, interrupting a live interview on Poland’s Supreme Court crisis. The cat started out lounging on the table beside him, but soon decides his owner has hogged too much of the spotlight.

Lisio hopped up on Dr. Targalski’s shoulders and paraded back and forth, but the man’s only response was to move the cat’s tail from in front of his eyes and continue speaking. A+ composure, my friend.

Rudy Bouma, who conducted the interview, uploaded it to Twitter and now Dr. Targalski – and Lisio – are internet famous. Just as the cat intended, I’m sure.

Beware the perils of working from home, people!
