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.

Mrs. Moggs Cat Calendar

GiggleSugar — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:59:00 -0800

Yes, This Cat Is Ironing Clothes Meet Mrs. Moggs, star of a hysterical calendar, who seems to enjoy housework more than laying around licking her paws.

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."

Cutest Karaoke Singer Ever

GiggleSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:40:00 -0800

Looking into my crystal ball, I see a future in show biz for this little ham, either as a singer — or a stand-up comedian.

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!)

Imagine This Kid at Saw V!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:10:00 -0800

Remember — as this child is hiding behind his friend, clawing at his hair, and then pounding his own head with a stool — that he's at a freaking puppet show! Let's keep him away from Jigsaw as long as we can. I don't think he (or those around him) would survive it!

Watch This Video and Monday Will Be Painless

GiggleSugar — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

No, really. Your life will improve in ways you never dreamed of. I guarantee it. Would I lie to you?

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!

Let's rejoice along with this cute little gorilla, shall we? Two more days until the weekend. Woot! (Does anyone say "woot" anymore?)

Cute Alert: Littlest Lounge Act in the World

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

I almost forgot about this adorable kid. She was 7 when someone recorded her hamming it up while playing the organ, so she must be a whopping 8-years-old now. She is having so much fun, and is in such command of this instrument, that when her teacher or father comes by to check her progress, the force field of her confidence forces him to beat a retreat. (I love her little wrist motions, too and the sudden smile.) What a cutie!

I Want One!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen: a Muppet quilt! I cannot imagine how long this took, but, giving the amazing outcome, I bet the brilliant chick that did this had a blast. Click here to see close-ups. I bet she's gonna be offered big bucks for this, but who could ever part with it?

Cute Alert: It's a Cat Slinky!

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

"What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, everyone knows it's slinky!
It's Slinky, it's Slinky/ for fun it's a wonderful toy!
It's Slinky, it's Slinky! It's fun for a girl and a boy."

Happy Caturday!

GiggleSugar — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 04:00:00 -0800

I know you guys rag on me sometimes for posting vids of cats that aren't doing anything, but with a cute, chubby little face like this guy's got, what more do you want than to watch him drink water? Look at that face! I promise I'll return next week with something that will knock your socks off. Cats on skateboards. Playing chess. Dancing the Macarena. But for today? Just watch a chubby cat being cute.

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.

Cat on a Unicorn? Yes, Please!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 11:05:00 -0800

This is one of the cutest videos I've ever seen. (Besides Bjork's vid for "Triumph of the Heart"). The band Casiotone for the Painfully Alone has a charming little song called "White Corolla." In addition to a boppy tune and great lyrics, the video features beautiful animation by Julia Pott and Robin Bushell of cats, pandas, dogs, and unicorns. What more could you ask for, people? (I am so looking for a Casio keyboard this weekend!)

Cute Alert: Raccoon Plays the Harp

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:25:26 -0800

Raccoons don't have a lot of chances to be considered cute, seeing as we usually run into them when they're rooting through our garbage, destroying our homes, or staring us straight in the eyes in their unnerving way. So it's with pleasure that I present you with this ~~harp-playing~~ water sprinkler-playing raccoon. And I must say his technique is quite marvelous. Next stop, Carnegie Hall!

The Choice on Tuesday, Nov. 4 Is Clear

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

But then again, this choice is clear every day, of every year. (Thanks for reminding those undecideds, Natalie and Rashida!)

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!

Pumpkin Proposal

GiggleSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Cute: proposing to your girlfriend via jack-o'-lantern. Not cute: having an all-costume Halloween wedding with a cake made out of Tootsie Rolls and Smarties.

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

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!)

Hamster Who Evaded Firemen With Chocolate Camera Is Found Safe and Well

Call off the searches, people! Fudgie the hamster has finally returned from his nine-day spell on the lam . . . or should I say on the ham? The little dude made a break for it while a 6-year-old girl was hammiesitting (the lesson here: hamsters can outsmart kids) and holed up under the floorboards. Firemen brought in a chocolate camera to coax him out, but Fudgie wasn't having any of it until he was good 'n' ready to come out. I know what you're thinking: chocolate camera? Firemen? That's gotta be the smartest hamster in the world. Read more about The Fudge-itive!

Cute Alert: Panda Kindergarten

GiggleSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

How to make baby pandas even cuter: give them a playground! I don't know what "panda kindergarten" is, but this is quite possibly the cutest 20 seconds ever caught on film.

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,

Cute Alert: This Pig Is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S

GiggleSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

This guinea's name is Bert, but I'd rather call him Einstein. I'm totally loving his bed head and bushy 'stache. Thanks to the filmmaker's brilliant closeups I can practically hear the nom-nom-nomming!

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.

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!

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.

Pandas Given Chicken Soup to Soothe Stress

I guess chicken soup is good for the panda's soul, too. According to the Telegraph, zookeepers in Sichuan, China, have been feeding good ol' chicken soup to pandas Xiwang and Weiwei to help calm them during an increase in zoo visitors, and to give them a nutritional boost during the colder months. Turns out pandas don't just eat bamboo, they're known to eat insects and small birds occasionally in the wild. Although probably not stewed with veggies and spices and served piping hot. Mmm . . . soup.
