Some songs become so closely tied to a memory that hearing just a few notes is enough to make us light up. Apparently, that’s true for at least one very opinionated bird, too. A delightful new video from the Green Bird Brigade captures the hilarious moment a bird politely rejects one musical icon in favor of another. As Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” plays in the background, Mom tries introducing something new. Auggie has other plans.

Most cats will do absolutely anything for attention and plenty of pets, so it’s heartbreaking to know that there’s a condition out there that makes it hard for them to enjoy those things. It’s called feline hyperesthesia (FHS), and cats who suffer from this condition may not be able to experience pets from their humans at all. That hasn’t stopped this Black Cat, Margaret, from finding a way to get close to her mom, though.

If there’s one thing Golden Retrievers love, it’s food. They’ll happily eat anytime, anywhere, and they’re always on the lookout for a handout. Chris’s Golden Retriever, Nala, is no exception. But one generous decision at breakfast changed both of their morning routines forever. One morning after finishing his eggs, Chris let Nala lick the plate clean. It seemed harmless at the time, but he quickly realized it was a big mistake.

Lucie looks like your typical golden retriever, but the minute she starts talking, you might start to wonder whether she’s a dog at all. Although it might seem unlikely to confuse a golden retriever with any other animal, Lucie’s ability to moo has got all of us confused, including another cow. Up until you hear Lucie’s moos, it’s hard to imagine her being anything other than a golden retriever.

Porkchop is an American Bully who was rescued and now lives on a farm with a variety of other animals, including a flock of turkeys. We’re not sure whether he wants to play with them or chase them, but one thing is clear: He simply cannot leave them alone. No matter how many times his mom redirects him, Porkchop always finds his way back to the birds.

There are few things in life better than taking a nap with your dog by your side, and that seems to be something that the Tabby cat in this TikTok video figured out quickly. He’s a smart kitty! Once Moose, the Tabby cat, was all settled into his bed, he had to turn his Dachshund brother into his own personal teddy bear, wrapping his front paws around him like he never planned on letting go. And how did Murphy, the Dachshund, feel about this?

Nubian Goats are known for their intensely dramatic barnyard hollering. Whether they’re truly in trouble or just looking for a little extra attention is anyone’s guess, but with the loudest mouths on the farm, everyone gets involved. Tater Tot, a resident of Brook and Bramble Farm, recently found herself in a predicament, and the TikTok video had me laughing right out loud.

We’ve all made a split-second decision that didn’t quite work out the way we planned, and the turtle in Tamra P’s (@hundredtenacrewood) video can definitely relate. When the turtle spotted Tamra and her daughter approaching, the little animal decided the quickest escape route was straight off the edge of a wall and into the water below. Unfortunately, the great escape didn’t go quite as planned.

We all have that one person who can instantly change our mood the moment we see them. This person tends to pull a smile out of us even when no one or nothing else can, and sweet dogs can experience the same thing. In this video, we meet a tiny Golden Retriever pup who vibrates with happiness the second he realizes Grandma has arrived. He basically goes into full wiggle mode with happy hops and all, and it’s one of the sweetest things.

Some pets cheer us on no matter what. Others seem determined to keep us humble. One cat is firmly in that second camp after becoming the internet’s newest comedy star by delivering a brutally honest review of his mom’s living room performance. While she gives an energetic dance routine worthy of a halftime show, her feline audience of one barely looks impressed, and viewers can’t get enough of the hilariously judgmental reaction. Watch the hilarious video below if you need a laugh today.
