Seagulls Scream at Indoor Cat Through Window in the Rudest Drive-by
A poor Tuxedo cat had an absolute Alfred Hitchcock moment (and I am talking about the iconic 1963 movie, The Birds) when seagulls decided to dive-bomb the apartment window the poor kitty was gazing out of in Glasgow City. To be fair, it seems the cat is totally OK trying to catch the seagulls who are trying to absolutely smash the window to get to the feline.
I'm not sure how everyone is so calm in this scenario! I'm panicked, and I don't even live there!
The video was shared on the @Jennifafas TikTok account, and people are disturbed, to say the least!One person commented, "Those seagulls are rage-baiting your cat."
Another person noticed what I did and said, "Sheesh! That seagull seriously swooped back to laugh in your cat's face!"
This whole scene would make me nervous, especially if the poor kitty ever got outside! Who knows? The seagulls might remember him and come back to laugh in his face up close and personal, LOL.
Seagulls don't hate cats exactly — not in a personal, grudge-holding, feathered-enemy-for-life kind of way — but they absolutely act like bullies when they want to.
If there's food involved or they feel like a cat is getting too close to their turf, they'll swoop in, scream like banshees, and chase whoever off, like they own the sky. It's not so much hate as it is pure chaotic energy mixed with territorial drama. They're loud, aggressive, and not afraid to throw their weight around, especially during nesting season when they get even more intense. And if another cat has something tasty? Like a Stray Cat being fed on the street? Forget it. That snack is fair game in the gull's mind. So no, they don't hate Street Cats, but they sure don't mind terrorizing them like it's their full-time job.

Owner Lets Rescue Dog on Bed for First Time—Tears at Reaction: 'Poor Baby'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A big rescue dog's first experience in their owner's bed has captured the hearts of viewers across TikTok. Steph (@stephr222),35, shared a now-viral video of her helping her sister's Bernese mountain dog, Oakley, 6, climb into bed. The wholesome moment has garnered over 127,000 likes and almost 800,000 views on TikTok. "Oakley had originally been a 'mill mama.' She had lost her most-recent litter and was going to be killed, so, fortunately, the rescue took her in. That was two years ago, so Oakley is now 6 years old. She is super sweet, but still working on coming out her shell. She takes a bit to warm up to new people, but after some time she gets more trusting," Steph told Newsweek. When Oakley's owner, Lindsay, 25, is working at the hospital as a nurse, the big pup gets to stay at their mom's house, where she plays in the backyard with two golden retrievers. Oakley also loves to be dressed up in bows. "When your rescue dog has never been on a bed before," reads the text overlaid on the video. "Meet Oogbus Boogus," Steph captioned the post. In the clip, Lindsay is seen encouraging her large dog onto the bed. She gently tries to guide him by lifting his front paws, but he doesn't seem to understand what to do. Eventually, Steph lifts his back legs and hoists him up successfully. The bewildered pup stands on the bed before Steph gives him a warm snuggle. "Oakley does still prefer the floor; she has a spot next to my sister's bed that she's always sitting in. So, the video is my sister trying to show her she can sit anywhere she wants," Steph said. Bernese mountain dogs are known for being affectionate, gentle giants. The American Kennel Club says that the breed is intelligent, calm-natured, and especially good with families. While the dogs thrive in active homes, they also adore lounging close to their favorite humans—which makes Oakley's hesitation all the more heartwarming.

The charity Dogs Trust UK advises that adopters go at their pet's pace, allow them space to explore, and avoid overwhelming them with too many new experiences at once. Positive reinforcement, routines, and consistency can help formerly neglected or traumatized dogs gain confidence and feel safe in their new surroundings. Viewers shared a mix of emotional and practical reactions in the comments. "She is so scared. She may have been punished by the previous owner for it. Spoil that sweet baby rotten, she deserves it," said one user. "Not him thinking you're a bad influence," added Nicole. Another viewer had a different take: "A rescue that has no inclination to get on the bed or couch … BONUS! Sorry, I'm not with you on this one, especially with her size. Why ruin a good thing. She can be loved on off the bed and couch. Also, jumping down, unnecessary pressure on her joints. Just my thoughts." "I swear trying to get a rescue dog to actually act like a dog is hard work. took forever to get mine to play toys because they didn't understand, or getting them to sit with us on the couch," read one comment. "I rescued an Alaskan Malamute. He had never been inside a house, seen carpet or hardwood, full grass orrrr couches/beds. This was his exact reaction. But now he's a couch potato," said Kaitlyn.

Bride finally says ‘yes' to engagement — after her boyfriend proposed 43 times: ‘I just knew she was the one'
A would-be fiancé went through the ringer to give his beloved a ring. After seven years and 42 rejections, a woman finally accepted her boyfriend's proposal. Sarah Wintrip, 38, has finally said 'yes' to her long-term patient partner, Luke Wintrip, 36 — on his 43rd attempt. Advertisement 6 Sarah and Luke had been together for seven years before they got engaged. Kennedy News/lipsticknlouboutins_ The couple, who tied the knot on May 17, 2025, have shocked many people with their unusual love story. Sarah, 38, from Chelmsford, Essex, initially turned down Luke's first proposal in 2018 after just six months of dating. Both had recently emerged from serious relationships and, despite being in love, Sarah wasn't ready for another commitment so soon — especially one involving her three daughters. Advertisement 'I didn't expect it,' she recalled of the first proposal, which took place during a romantic horse ride in Jamaica. 'I loved him, but I didn't want to say 'yes' to something I later retracted. I wanted to make sure with kids and everything going on that it was right. Luke said 'Okay, fine, but I'm going to keep asking you,' she told Kennedy News. Luke, a 36-year-old tattooist, was undeterred. With each 'no,' he grew more creative — proposing in abandoned castles, hiring musicians, and staging candlelit dinners. 6 He first proposed in Jamaica six months into their relationship. Kennedy News/lipsticknlouboutins_ 6 With each 'no,' Luke grew more creative — proposing in abandoned castles, hiring musicians, and staging candlelit dinners. Kennedy News/lipsticknlouboutins_ Advertisement One of the most elaborate proposals happened in Prague, where Luke transformed a deserted castle into a fairy-tale setting, complete with chocolates, champagne, and fairy lights. But even then, Sarah rejected him. 'I knew it was early, but I just knew she was the one,' Luke said. 'My friends said to me, 'You're trying to beat her down,' but it wasn't that. I wanted to prove to her how much I want this, and I hoped one day the girls would look at it and go 'Well, if Luke loves Mum that much, I need to find someone that loves me that much'.' 6 The couple, who tied the knot on May 17, 2025, have shocked many people with their unusual love story. Kennedy News/lipsticknlouboutins_ Clips of Luke's repeated proposals — including one at a restaurant where Sarah shyly buried her head in her hands, and another on a busy street — went viral on TikTok. The caption '43 proposals and now we are getting married in two weeks' attracted thousands of viewers. Advertisement Sarah finally said yes in 2023 after telling Luke to pause the proposals and wait for the right moment. That moment came in Greenwich, London — where the eastern and western hemispheres meet to form the basis of the Greenwich Mean Time time zone — with a hired busker playing all her favorite songs. 'When he proposed, he said, 'This is the center of the world and you are the center of my world and I want you to marry me'. He finally won my heart,' she recounted. 6 'My friends said to me, 'You're trying to beat her down,' but it wasn't that.

He finally won my heart,' she recounted. Kennedy News/DC Media Now happily married, Sarah reflects on her decision with no regrets and encourages other women to trust their own timing: 'If they're the one, they'll put in the effort. You don't have to say 'yes' if you're not ready. You can say, 'not right now.'' 'I think he probably should get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long,' Sarah joked.

Tears at What Golden Retriever Does Every Night for 'Long Lost Best Friend'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As dusk settled over a quiet field, Cooper the golden retriever broke into a full sprint, rushing toward a wooden cross planted in the soil. It marks the resting place of Bear, a German shepherd who was Cooper's best friend before his death. "He was the leader, the protector of the pack and watched over my little boy," said owner and TikToker @ashleystacy82. "He was the best." The video of the moment was shared on TikTok where it has been viewed 2.3 million times. His ritual, loyally heading to visit his friend, has melted hearts online, and the text overlay read: "Cooper making his nightly visit to his long lost best friend. RIP Bear." Clear that he is "missing his best friend," emotional viewers headed to the comments to share their reactions. "Now I have to explain to my husband that the app is the reason I'm crying... again," one user wrote. Another added, "You're supposed to hold my hand before you throw me into a brick wall of emotions." While one simply declared, "Hey so this crushed my soul." Another wrote: "'ll be sending you my hospital bill since you just broke my heart." Do dogs feel grief? Cooper's behavior is unlikely to just be a habit. A 2022 study from the University of Milan offers insight. Researchers surveyed 426 Italian dog owners who had experienced the death of one of their two dogs. An overwhelming 86 percent of owners observed negative behavioral changes in the surviving dog. Of the grieving pets, 67 percent became less attention seeking, 57 percent played less and 46 percent became less active. While 43 percent became less active, 35 percent slept more and displayed unexpected fearfulness. A screenshot from the video that has broken hearts on TikTok. A screenshot from the video that has broken hearts on TikTok. @ashleystacy82/TikTok This isn't the first time hearts have broken over a grieving pet online. One dog was captured reacting to smelling his canine sibling's fur months after his death, leaving viewers sobbing. While another dog heartbreakingly looked at his lost best friend's "shrine" after his death, longingly starting at the photos of his lost companion. Another heartbreaking video shared how a cat, named Carlo, mourned the loss of the family dog who had passed away. But just days later, Carlo was gone too.
