18 Magnificent Animals On The Verge of Extinction

These 18 animals all have something in common. Besides being absolutely incredible, they are all at risk of becoming extinct according to The World Wildlife Fund.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, and only gives you a taste of just how many animals we are at risk of losing.

12 Clingy Cats Who Love Their Hoomans Too Much

12 Clingy Cats Who Love Their Hoomans Too Much

A cat is trying to prevent me from writing this right now. During their waking hours, a cat is an all-consuming bundle of love that demands your complete attention. They are the rock stars of the domesticated pet world and always know when your focus isn’t 100% on them. To ensure they have your undivided attention they will either pull down your curtains (rock stars) or make themselves so irresistible that it's impossible to concentrate on anything else. Think how many books you would've read, hours of sleep you would've had, and uninterrupted trips to the toilet you would've made if not for your furry, four-legged frenemy. But most cat owners will say the struggle was worth it. Do you relate to these hilarious photos documenting the complex relationship between feline and human?

1. The domestic cat spend between 16 and 20 hours sleeping per day. 

2. Cats are one of North America’s most popular pets with over 30% of households in North America own a cat.

3. A cat rubs against people not only to be affectionate but also to mark out its territory with scent glands around its face. This is how it recognizes its human family. 

4. A cat’s brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s. Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions.

Read on for more cats being adorable AND find out how the cat flap was invented?

5. About a third of cat owners think their cat can read their mind. 

6. Isaac Newton invented the cat flap by cutting a hole in the wall of his Cambridge rooms so his cats could come and go as they pleased and not interrupt his work. 

7. The whole "cat lady" phenomenon is apparently a myth. A 2007 Gallup poll reported that both men and women were equally likely to own a cat.

8. A cat’s nose pad is ridged with a unique pattern, just like the fingerprint of a human. No two cats have identical nose-prints. 

Your cat will know an earthquake is coming way before you do. 

9. A cat’s heart beats nearly twice as fast as yours. 

10. Cats are alert to vibrations and are able to detect earthquake tremors, sometimes 10 or 15 minutes before humans can.

11. A cat almost never meows at another cat. They communicate with each other via scent and body language. The meow was developed by cats to communicate with humans.  

12. A cat can jump up to five times its own height from a standing start.

"I guess that's the thing about working with animals: they always surprise you."

No one expected Mr. Snuggles to make this recovery. 

He was attacked in the pouring rain and left without anyone to offer help...until Tails of a Shelter Vetarrived.

They had to fight an uphill battle...

...but they didn't give up.

And neither did Mr. Snuggles. For a boy who was destined to lose his leg, he's walking like a little champion! You need to see his transformation. It's a reminder of what's possible when you put your heart and soul into getting better. 

Let's give it up for Mr. Snuggles! Please SHARE this incredible story with all the animal lovers you know. 

Psst...here's your warning that there are some gruesome images in this video.

Precious Moments Between Children And Their Pups

Precious Moments Between Children And Their Pups

I know, I know, you're about ready to hang up your coat and hit play on the holiday movies. It's been that kind of year, hasn't it? We're all a little done with this and seriously need a break. This is why I've compiled this adorableness just for you.

Take a breath, take a seat, and simply zone out with this. These kids and their pups are here to help you get back to your happy place.

Have an adorable pic of your own? Upload it in the comments. We can never have enough cute. 

It's been a long year for all of us. 

We know you've been working hard and deserve this break now more than ever before.

So grab a snack and your best bud and sit back and relax.

Things are about to get so much better. 

There, there. See? Adorableness can help us out here.

It can remind us what's really important, too. 

Starting to feel a little better yet? You will, we promise.

Check out the next page to boost your mood!

Sometimes, when things seem all out of place, we just need some solid time with our family.

These two are working it all out right here, right now. They've got each other through the good times and the not-so-good times.

A good day of cuddling couldn't hurt either.

In fact, we recommend you do this tomorrow.

Perhaps you could convince your bestie to go outside for a walk.

The fresh air makes everything feel better. 

Better yet, head out to the beach!

It's a beautiful place to escape and the sunshine is just what we need right now.

When you head back home, remember that everything is going to be just fine.

You've got this day.

Home time can be the best time of all.

This is where the adorableness really gets going!

TV time is a happy place we can all agree on. 

Worry not — TV will never leave. 

And then there's nap time...

Who else here thinks we should still get nap time as adults? 

I for one would love to be cozying up to a cute pup right now!

Wouldn't you? 

I'd settle for some cute kisses, though.

Those always make me feel better!

Play time works too!

Like a charm. It's all about getting outside your head for a while to have some fun! 

What about you: What makes you feel better?
