Cats are sleepy creatures by nature, often taking several naps throughout the day in various locations and contorting themselves in silly angles and shapes. They can find themselves in some pretty strange positions, ones we wonder how it’s even physically possible, and yet they sleep soundly, nonetheless.

Kids can be very sneaky when it comes to scoring a treat they’re not supposed to have, and if you have kids, you know some dogs act the same way when they want something. Monty is @michyyy86’s Bernedoodle puppy, and after watching this video, we have a sneaking suspicion that he keeps her on her toes. Watch to see if you agree. Sitting just out of reach on the kitchen counter is a brand-new package of bacon.

Every zoo birth is exciting, but some mark a milestone that goes far beyond introducing a new face to visitors. That’s exactly what happened at the Memphis Zoo, where a tiny female mandrill named Millie has become the first of her species ever born at the zoo. While her bright eyes and tiny pink face are already winning over animal lovers, her arrival also represents years of planning, expert collaboration and an important step for the future of a vulnerable primate species.

Farm animals aren’t exactly known for their table manners, but Sophie, the goat, is looking to change that image. It’s a tough task to take on, since farm animals don’t exactly care what they eat, much less the view they give off while they’re munching away. But she’s up to the challenge. As Sophie and her human hang out on the porch, enjoying a beautiful bowl of cherries as a snack, the goat is surprisingly methodical about how she chews the fresh cherry in her mouth.

Being a brand-new puppy has to be a pretty wild experience. Not only are they getting acquainted with the world for the very first time, but settling in with a new family and home has to be overwhelming for them, too. That’s exactly how the Dachshund puppy in the video below seems to be feeling about his first bath. Actually, with that look on his face, baby Milo may have no clue what to think about this.

Some dogs collect toys the way people collect favorite blankets. They proudly carry them from room to room, greet you at the door with them and somehow always know exactly where their favorite one landed after a game of fetch. If your dog falls into that category, there’s something especially funny about giving them a toy shaped like a fresh loaf of bread.

Jo Malone London is known for turning heads (and noses) with its luxury fragrances, but its latest launch isn’t meant for humans at all. The British fragrance and lifestyle brand just teamed up with pet-care company WildWash to release an Orange & Cedarwood Dog Shampoo, and it’s giving major spa-day energy for your four-legged friend.

Just like kids, dogs aren’t always excited about sharing their toys with others, and Kelli Mayfield’s dogs are a perfect example. Their canine cousins recently came over for a visit, and the guests wasted no time making themselves right at home. The looks on Kelli’s dogs’ faces as they watch their cousins play with their toys are cracking up the internet.

There are thousands of funny videos showing all the smart dogs using those “talking” buttons to communicate their needs, but a cat using them seems a little rarer. Bjørn, the Tuxedo cat, has mastered the art of yap with his buttons and sometimes, it sounds like he’s arguing with Mom like a human teen (or toddler): Don’t let Bjørn fool you.

If you have dogs at home, you get used to their different barks and can usually tell when something out of the ordinary is happening. When TikToker @whiskey9in heard his dogs making a ruckus outside, he went to investigate and discovered them checking out a groundhog that had somehow wandered into the yard. Watch as the dogs curiously check out their unexpected visitor, who’s hidden from view at the beginning of the video.
