Interspecies Lovin'

GiggleSugar — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:02:00 -0800

Step right up for the fight of the century — it's dog and cat wrasslin'! These two are like siblings. Plus, the cat doesn't seem to know what she wants. One minute, she's licking the dog's nose, the next, she's batting his head with her paw. Cats!

Cat Loves Ottoman

GiggleSugar — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:00:00 -0800

Well, it does look pretty soft! And the cat knows what she likes.

Cute Alert: Baby Dachshund's Out Cold

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Meet Vanilla, a 5-week-old baby Dachshund pup. She's in the middle of some serious REM sleep time. I particularly like the closeup of her little face. It looks like she is dreaming of having a conversation because her little lips are moving. After my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, this will be me, and probably you, too!

Marmoset There'll Be Days Like This

GiggleSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Who knew marmosets were so cute? I'd never noticed that their features take up, like, 10 percent of their face, while fur and sprouting hair around the perimeter of their heads takes up the rest! (I can only imagine what The Shirelles would have thought about this music video to their song.)

Cute Alert: Puppy Is Confused by Whistling

GiggleSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Look at this little guy's silly face! The head-tilting just kills me. Do want!

Latchkey Pup Plays Fetch Alone

GiggleSugar — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:00:00 -0800

Oh, the pathos! Fetch with a machine? Too sad!

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 04:00:00 -0800

"Happy, happy, joy, joy! It's Caturday. Time to attack the spinny thing in the laundry room that goes 'round and 'round. My life rules."

Roomba: Cat Sold Separately

GiggleSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:05:00 -0800

This is a cat's idea of helping with the housework. He's almost as useful as this guy.

Broke Cat Mountain

GiggleSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:00:00 -0800

There's a reason the expression "herding cats" denotes a difficult-to-impossible activity. But these cowboys have mastered the art. Watch for the cowboy rolling up a ball of yarn. (You almost forget this is a commercial, it's so entertaining!)

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 04:00:00 -0800

What do cats do all day? A whole lotta nothin', according to this time-lapse video of two cats filmed over a ten hour time span. Hey, it's Caturday. This is what we all should do.

Cute Alert: Baby Penguin's BF Is a Stuffed Penguin!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:00:00 -0800

Meet Pingu and its BFF, a stuffed penguin. (No one knows yet if Pingu is a she or a he.) This baby had to be separated from its siblings because they kept eating all of its fish and it was getting runty. They removed the three-week-old Pingu, but then it got lonely! (Sigh.) Finally, they provided a cuddly, googly-eyed stuffed penguin for Pingue. It will be snuggling this amiable creature until it's strong enough to compete with the others in his colony.

Now That's What I Call Lunchables!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:00:00 -0800

I bet this little critter would be tasty with some relish and mustard!

This Fish Is Pissed

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:15:00 -0800

But he has the nagging skills of your average mom. You tell her, fishy!

Cute Alert: Rare Baby Pygmy Hippo the Size of a Puppy!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:10:00 -0800

How many cute words can fit into a headline? Well, count for yourself! This rare baby pygmy hippopotamus, Monifa, is a recent arrival at Australia's Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Man, between this and the live puppy cam, I'm gonna be knee-deep in cute animal porn all day. TGIF!

Cute Alert: Tiny Horse Runs Like the Wind

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Don't make the mistake of calling this little guy a pony. And definitely don't call him slow. (As the announcer says, his ancestors helped build the ancient Pyramids, after all!) In this clip, at some horse show, the tiny horse is having the time of his life eluding anyone who thinks they can catch him. When you're that cute, you can get away with anything.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 04:01:00 -0700

This roly-poly kitteh continues his love affair with boxes. Although this time it's more of a love-hate relationship. Must. Get. Through. Box. No one can stop me. Hey, what's this box doing on me? Get me out of here!

A Cat's Ode to Milk

GiggleSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Forget Got Milk ads. This mega-nomming kitteh's totally got them beat.

I'd Like to Extend an Invitation . . . to the Pug Party

GiggleSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This pug's head tilt action is off the charts! Though I'm pretty sure he's just having the proper WTF?! response to all that ridiculous baby talk.

Kung Fu Kitteh

GiggleSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

This kitten's got some mad attack skills. Is the dog any match for ninja cat's killer moves? Watch and see . . .

Lion-Hearted Leo Has Courage Licked

Or you can read my alternate headline: "OMG: Leo the Dog Saves Baby Kittens From Fire!!!" (This is why I'm not in the headline-writing business.) Picture this: A house is ablaze, and seven members of the family (save one brave dog and four helpless kittens) are outside screaming for firefighters to save the little critters. What should they find but valiant Leo the Jack Russell mix watching over the kittens in spite of the smoke and heat that surrounded him. Bad news for the family — they've lost everything and they had no insurance — but Leo and the kittens are alive. Watch the video (paying special attention to the firefighters trying to revive Leo, and when Leo licks the little kittens in their box) and try to remain stony faced. 'Tis not possible.

Kittens and Toilet Paper: Best Friends For Life

GiggleSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

I don't know why, but watching kittehs play with TP never gets old. These two rascals demolish a whole roll in under a minute. I'm officially impressed.

Halloween Is Going to the Dogs

GiggleSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Pixie and Wicked look positively thrilled to be dressed up as Princess Leia and Darth Vader. So much so that they're giving "daddy" (who claims to love them) the silent treatment. I'd seen pictures of these two, and noticed they looked pretty pissed off, but now there's video proof. (Yeah, blame it on mommy!)

Cutest Backup Singers Ever

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Is there a secret society of doggies that love to eat with their hind legs sticking straight up in the air? I guess that's one way to simultaneously take in, and burn off, calories. I may try this sometime.

The Best of Talking Cats on GiggleSugar!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Step right up for your talking cats. In addition to being adorable, ornery, and weird, cats seem to have a lot to say. Something tells me it all translates into: "Give me some Pounce and bring me my cat toy," but I'm no cat linguist. So without further ado, to see the best videos of talking cats ever to be posted on GiggleSugar,

Happy Ending Massage, Redefined

"Welcome to the Happy Paws Meow-ssage Parlor, where a happy ending massage means you leave with your equipment intact! Don't forget to tip your masseuse on the way out. Cash and Pounce appreciated."

Doggie's Never-Ending Quest to Open the Door

GiggleSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Poor Sylvie. This beautiful Weimaraner's problem isn't that she can't open the door, she just can't keep it open to get to the other — no doubt more wonderful — side. I don't blame her for whining and looking at the camera person like, put that thing down and help me do this thing! But, like Sisyphus rolling the rock up that mountain only to have it slide down again once he gets to the top, Sylvie repeats this futile act until she eventually gives up. This is life in a nutshell, my friends!

I Hate You So Much Right Now

GiggleSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:00:00 -0700

I guess somebody's not a fan of flamboyant bunny headwear. If looks could kill, this kitteh would be a trained assassin.

Thank You, Japanese Television

GiggleSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Without you we might never get to experience such wonders as a chimp wearing overalls riding a Segway. I love how the chimp takes off on his wheels faster than a restless teenager with a learner's permit. It's five minutes of the same chimpy antics, so watch until you've had your fill.

The Man Who Loved the Cat Who Loved Water

GiggleSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:00:00 -0700

This video is amazing for two reasons. One, it proves the existence of that rare specimen: a cat who loves water. And two, it documents the owner's sweet, if somewhat bizarre, way of indulging his water-loving cat. We may never fully understand the love between a man and a cat. You have to see it to believe it.

Cute Alert: Bella the Folk-Singin' Kitty!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Oh, pretty little Bella. Your name is so apt. Someone strums the guitar while she delicately meows a melancholy tune. She's the cat version of Cat Power!

It Beats the Hamster Wheel Any Day

GiggleSugar — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Who says you can't teach rodents anything? Apparently rat surfing is one more way people are trying to include their pets in human activities. They're so cute and so badass at the same time.

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 04:01:00 -0700

This little fuzzy slip of a thing with blue eyes wants something, and she wants it now. Kitty, I will give you anything you want! But stop with the cuteness. It is killing my soul.

Cute Alert: Rehabbed Penguins Get Released!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This technically falls under the sad 'n' cute category. Environmental disasters decimate animal populations, and oil spills are particularly horrible. These folks from IFAW (The International Fund for Animal Welfare), who rehabilitated penguin victims of an oil spill, got to release them back into the ocean. Warning though: this video, filmed in Brazil, moves from cute to sad, but ultimately back to cute again.

Cute Alert: Baby Tasmanian Devil Emerges From Mom's Pouch

GiggleSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

. . . to kill us with her cuteness. This baby Tasmanian devil, or "devil pup" as they call her, is a tiny beast after my own heart. Yulgilbar took a peek outside mama's pouch where she lived for a month and decided there was something worth leaving that comfy space for: FOOD! Yulgilbar's little face is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Who freaking knew Tasmanian devils were cute as buttons? Time for a name change! Click here to read more about her.

Chickens: Barnyard Police

GiggleSugar — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:00:00 -0700

These rabbits are such hoodlums. Chickens are all, "Break it up, you two! How's a hen supposed to get any eggs laid with all this ruckus? Don't make me get Farmer Brown."

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 04:01:00 -0700

It's lunchtime as I write this, and this utterly ridiculous video is making me hungry! I guess kitty is taking a mid-meal, mid-smoke, mid-beer break to clean himself. Just because he can. His expression says, "It's good to be the king."

Cute Alert: Kitten vs. Basket

GiggleSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

My money's on basket. But wait, kitten's got a secret weapon . . . that pitiful stare that just says, "You're not going to help me? If you can resist my cuteness, your heart is made of stone." Touché.

Cat Annoys Sleeping Man

GiggleSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Who videotaped this — the cat? I guess he wanted evidence that he, in fact, can get away with annoying the bejeezus out of his sleeping human companion. (I especially love when he sits on the dude's back and starts messing with his neck.) I'll say it again — I love cat men.

Surprise! It's Another Punk-Ass Kitten

GiggleSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Dogs are so patient. Gilberto here is friends with little Sosa and allows her to swat his head for fun. It kinda reminds me of that awesome video of the little kitten with the Husky. Watch and learn, people!

Cute Alert: Shrimp on a Treadmill (Now With Music!)

GiggleSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

You've heard of "shrimp on the barbie," why not shrimp on a treadmill? This video is extra-special, though, because although we've already posted it, it now has one of my fave soundtracks of all time: the theme from The Benny Hill show. As BoingBoing says, "Adding the Benny Hill theme to anything makes it funny." Agreed.

Cute Alert: Baby Dachshund Paddles in the Bathtub!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This pup seems uncertain about what's going on here. Well, let me break it to you, buddy. You're taking a bath, and being exploited for your ridiculous cuteness for all to enjoy. (You'll get used to it. The shameless exploitation, I mean.)

Cute Alert: Doggie Runs in His Sleep

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Although he's lying on the carpet sleeping in the middle of an ordinary suburban home and being watched over by a stuffed Dalmatian, this pup seems to think he's running over hill and dale. We'll just leave him to his cute dreams. It's probably lunchtime soon, anyway.

Headline of the Day

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Sorry, Fido, It's Just a Guy Thing

Is this just a ploy by single straight dudes to get girlfriends, or are there really cute guys like Adam Fulrath, over there with Parappa, who claims his cat is his "primary relationship"? According to this New York Times article, men (straight men, even!) are coming out of the cat closet and admitting that, yes, real men do love cats. Says one male cat-lover, dogs are for dudes who need wingmen. “If you’re feeling insecure about your space in the world, you get a dog because he will always back you up,” he said. “He’s the insecure man’s best friend.” Haha! Where are these fabled cat men? I need me one.

Happy Caturday!

Remember sneaky, stealthy ninja kitty? This is his brother. He's still learning, though. He doesn't have any game yet.

Military Intelligence Is in Good Paws

GiggleSugar — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Who better to teach overseas soldiers about operations security than Squeakers the mouse and his arch-nemesis, the Cat Hacker? This military PSA's got it all: spies, intrigue, high-tech surveillance equipment, an adorable cast, impressive set design. I can't say I'm surprised that the most dangerous spies are of the feline persuasion.

Best Security Guard Ever

Little Dog Gets Excited While Eating

Stop Everything and Watch a Cat Sew a Scrunchy!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Did I get your attention?! Good. I am breaking my rule of "videos longer than 3 minutes only on the weekend." CasaSugar sent this down the transom, and from the moment I laid eyes on cat paws using a sewing machine to sew a scrunchy (or "chou chou"), I was sold. Throw in some dance beats? Positively hooked. I feel like dancing, and crafting and meowing all at the same time. Wheeeee!

Read this Craftzine blog to get the details on this meows-merizing masterpiece!

Cute Alert: Cat Talks to Laser Pointer

Oh, the cute face! This silly cat with a mustache is having a love affair with the laser pointer. Let's hear the sweet nothings it whispers in a stolen moment . . .
