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…

These Heated Pet Beds Are a Wintertime Must for Your Spoiled Fur Baby

One of my favorite things to do in the winter is snuggling up with a nice, warm blanket and a mug of hot tea. Winter weather is snuggle weather in my book, and I’m willing to bet I’m not alone.

Well, why should our pets be any different? They deserve a nice warm spot to snuggle up too. Clearly, someone else must’ve felt the same way, because Walmart now sells a host of heated, cozy beds for our kitties and doggos.

Trust me, you’re going to find the perfect gift on this list for the spoiled feline or pooch in your home.

First up, a fancy, snuggly sleeper that features dual thermostats, a washable cover, a removable heater, and the plushest possible exterior. Honestly…I might take a nap in this thing.

Or, you could go with this adorable igloo-style heated bed with its own internal thermostat, because hey, style is important, too!

If you’ve got a cat that prefers the outdoors, even in the cold, then this heated kitty house with two entries, a removable cover, and made from water-resistant material is sure to be at the top of their lists.

This fort made of fleece and thermo-reflective material may be designed for your pets, but the kids in your life might just die of jealousy, too.

If your pet is just a little bit extra, this super soft, heated cheetah-print bed will win you those bonus points you’ve been aiming for – and maybe a morning without a hairball left in your path, if you’re lucky.

Honestly, I would like a human bed that senses my temperature and adjusts the internal thermostat of the bed accordingly. Why do the dogs get all the nice things?

Photo Credit: Walmart

If your dog is less fancy pants (I know mine is) you can go with this soft, comfy bed that warms them using their own body heat – it’s also easy for travel!

Photo Credit: Walmart

More fun for outdoor kitties! I mean, who doesn’t love camping in a tent with protection from wind and debris and featuring a waterproof fabric to make sure they stay dry no matter the weather?

Bottom line? There’s no reason for your dog or cat to be cold this winter for a single minute – even if you do occasionally feel as if they’re living better than you are.

Twitter Asked Elon Musk to Make a “Dog Mode” for Cars… And He Did Not Disappoint

Here’s something that all dog lovers can surely get behind: Tesla just rolled out a “dog mode” for their vehicles. When activated, it keeps the air conditioning running at a comfortable temperature for your pup and also lets anybody walking by your car know that your furry friend is doing just fine.

The idea actually came about from a person who tweeted at Tesla CEO Elon Musk last year.

Musk and Tesla responded and the results are pretty great.

This is how Tesla instructs owners to use “dog mode.”

“To enable Dog Mode, tap the fan icon at the bottom of the touchscreen when your car is parked. Set Keep Climate On to DOG, make adjustments within temperature limits, then leave knowing your pet will stay comfortable. Dog Mode will stay on after you leave your car. If you your battery reaches less than 20% charge, you will receive a notification on your mobile app.”

Tesla also recently announced its “sentry mode” that essentially protects your vehicle when you’re not around. External cameras on the car monitor its surroundings and if someone even leans against the vehicle “alert mode” is activated that warns a potential thief or vandal via the center screen that cameras are recording their movements.

If a window is broken and someone attempts to steal the vehicle, the alarm goes off, the car’s audio plays at maximum volume, and the owner is alerted through an app.

I think it’s safe to say we are now living in the future.

A Man Smuggled His Dog into the Hospital to See His Dying Wife and Now We’re All Crying

There’s a reason this story has been going viral on Reddit and other social media sites: it’s absolutely heartbreaking, yet incredibly sweet at the same time. It also goes to show just how incredible the bond us mere humans can be lucky enough to have with our precious dogs.

The Reddit user shared his personal story about his wife and dog, Bella.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Uggghhhh. The man’s dying wife wanted to see her dog one more time, so the husband decided to sneak the pooch into the hospital in a suitcase.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Seems like Bella knew she had to be quiet so she wouldn’t alert the hospital staff.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The dog made it into the hospital and got to say goodbye to his mama before she passed away a few days later.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Where are the tissues? This story calls for at least a whole box.

As has been said over and over, we don’t deserve dogs.
