Super Rare ‘All Brown' Cat Looks Like He Got a Bath in Hot Fudge
Brown cats are not something we see often. They're gorgeous, but they're just so rare. Seeing one is truly a treat! Having one is fun, too, apparently: they're playful, sweet, and a little bit dramatic.
On Wednesday, May 14th, one cat went viral for just how brown he is. Everything, from his fur to his eyes, is the richest chocolatey brown you'll ever see, and we simply can't get enough:
Teddy the Brown Cat is actually incredible. I've always said that I'd only want a Maine Coon or a Ragdoll if I was going to get a cat, but I'd make an exception for this boy!Teddy is a British Shorthair kitten, which is already a win. He was always going to be adorable, but the fact that he looks like he just came from an accident at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory made sure of it.
He has soft brown fur, and he appears to be a tabby: we can see streaks of a darker brown all over him. That's rare, that's amazing, but it's not what got this video its 3.1 million likes. His eyes are: they're almost the exact same chocolate brown as his fur, which is unlike anything we've ever seen.
I mean, look at Teddy and then consider that this is what a "standard" Tabby cat looks like:
The fact that brown coats are rare boils down to simple genetics: the brown gene is recessive, meaning that the kitten needs to inherit a copy from both parents to be brown. It takes very selective breeding to make a brown cat, which can lead to them being more expensive.
Even if a cat is brown, they usually don't have matching brown eyes: this Cinnamon Ragdoll, for example, has green eyes. Brown eyes are exceedingly rare in cats, and when they happen, they typically manifest in shades of copper or a darker gold.
Not Teddy, though. I think I need proof that his mom didn't hold him under one of those chocolate fountains before this video.

Dog Raised by Cats Has Internet in Stitches: '10/10 Loaf'
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 pit-bull named Opie has baffled social media users with his ability to act exactly like the cats who raised him, in a viral video that has received over 30.8 million views and 6.7 million likes on TikTok so far. The hilarious clip, shared on Saturday under the username @justopiethings, shows the pup effortlessly curling into a loaf, squeezing into tiny cat beds, and displaying behaviors similar to those of his feline siblings. "Do yo want to see what a pit-bull raised by cats looks like?" the poster writes in the clip. "Part cat part ... Maine coon?" she continues in the caption. Dogs and cats can not only live together peacefully, but they can also form a close bond and become the best of friends. However, that is not always the case, animal charity Dog Trust explains on its website. Some cats are nervous around dogs, who sometimes have a predatory drive so strong that it may compromise the welfare of the cat. Usually, when dogs get overly excited around cats and can't be calmed down, it isn't safe for them to live together. A cat and a dog should be introduced slowly and mindfully, starting with scent swapping and then gradually removing physical barriers when you finally know that they are comfortable together, and don't pose a risk to one another. While most dogs can be trained to live with cats, with the help of a specialized animal behaviorist if needed, some dog breeds are more suited for life with a feline than others. Burns Court Veterinary Care explains that because of their friendly manners, dogs like Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, and beagles are the breeds that get along best with cats. Cat breeds that are most likely to accept dogs into their life include Maine coons, rag-dolls, and Siamese. A stock image shows a pit-bull mix looking over his shoulder at the camera.

Donkey display highlights role of animals in wartime
A military museum in North Yorkshire had a very different type of visitor today - one with long ears, four legs and an important role in conflicts, past and present. The Green Howards Museum in Richmond hosted Tom, Maurice and Teddy, from Blackberry Donkeys, as part of its ongoing Animals Allies exhibition. Visitors were able to get up close with the equines, see authentic wartime packsaddles and VE War brasses, and learn about the role of donkeys in military history. Steve Erskine, regimental researcher at The Green Howards Museum said: "We think it's important to be more than just the bangs and the bullets, but to tell all those other stories that don't necessarily get coverage." The Donkeys at the Museum event was created in partnership with the Donkey Breed Society, and features a display of purple poppies, created to commemorate all the animals that played a vital role in global wars. The organisation has been showcasing both the poppies and donkeys owned by members of the society around military museums across North Yorkshire, including York Army Museum. Sarah Booth, from the Donkey Breed Society Northern Region, explained: "Donkeys are stoic creatures - we never hear them complain. "They've been used - and misused - throughout history. "We want to raise the very important message of the part that donkeys, as well as other equines, and dogs, cats, pigeons and rats, have played in warzones throughout history." Mr Erskine added: "The exhibition has proved to be popular - to do something a little bit different, to appeal to a slightly different audience from the normal audience of a military museum. "We want to stress the army isn't just about fighting - we're using these animals to get humanitarian aid into earthquake zones, to get medicines into hard-to-reach villages in the mountains." Tom, Maurice and Teddy are therapy donkeys, part of a wider group of seven donkeys that are available to hire for educational events, care home visits, and even television work. Owner Marie Bates said: "The nature of the donkeys - how they are around people - just makes them amazing animals. They're so calming." But when not providing a calming influence, they love playing football and have their own unique personality quirks - according to Ms Bates. "Teddy, particularly, is a little cheeky chap. His favourite treat is ginger biscuits, and I'm sure he'll have a couple of those before he goes home at the end of the day!" Listen to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
