Tiny Calico Kitten's Hilarious Reaction To Being Called ‘Sweet Baby' Is Too Good
Everybody has cute nicknames for their pets, right? Specifically, most pet parents will have one for when their pet is being sweet and another for when they're not. My dog's "demon time" name is Rhonda. When she's being sweet, I call her a sweet baby and give her some cheese!
Apparently, "sweet baby" is pretty common, but it's polarizing. When one cat mom tried out the nickname with her Calico kitten, the reaction she got was not at all what she expected. It was almost like the kitten wanted to prove her wrong or something:
Her mom, @undercoverasfkk, says that this is a throwback video. Hopefully she's gotten a little better at taking compliments!This kitten's name is Bean, and she was the cutest, baddest kitten around. Like most other kittens, she had no interest in being gentle about 98% of the time! She was perfecting her pounce, and most often, she could be found pouncing onto her mom's head.
Bean was no easy kitten. She would pounce on mom for calling her a "sweet baby." There were a lot of things she despised and would try to do away with whenever she saw them, like:
Mom's phone.
Mom, when she got too close.
Mom's hands.
However, there were times when they got along pretty well, too! Bean used to love playing peek-a-boo with her mom, and her mom loved it, too:
Kittens are absolutely insane, and anyone who can handle a kitten gets massive props from me! I spend about 20 minutes with a kitten every year, and by the end of it, I realize that that's plenty of time!
You can't get too mad at a kitten for being crazy, though. They're just babies: they have a lot of excess energy. Additionally, every single thing they do is something they're learning. They're new to this whole "life" thing. They have a lot of ground to cover!
How to Help a Crazy Kitten
If you notice that your kitten is clingy and crazy, just know it's par for the course! They're missing their cat families. Most animals aren't used to being alone when they're babies, so they'll be looking for companionship. They'll typically grow out of it as they get older!
You might even find yourself missing the kitten crazy. Grown cats can be so aloof sometimes. Bean's mom certainly misses her tiny baby!

'Ridiculously Attractive' Stray Cat Stakes Claim on Family Like an Unbothered King
'Ridiculously Attractive' Stray Cat Stakes Claim on Family Like an Unbothered King originally appeared on Parade Pets. It's funny how Stray Cats go about choosing who they feel deserves the blessing of their presence. Truly, we don't decide, they do. If you're among the lucky few with a random surprise visitor on your stoop one day, congrats — you can thank the cat distribution system for your new fur child! One Stray Cat recently made his decision, and it's final. Described as a "ridiculously attractive" cat who shows up "like he owns the place," this is one fine feline on a mission to steal hearts and take names! It's too bad @allaboutwhiskers hasn't yet given the kitty a name or revealed much else about the stray boy because I'm dying to know more. Where did he come from? Why is he so devilishly handsome (and seems to know it)? Whatever the circumstances, any pet choosing you is the greatest day ever. You have to be pretty special for a Stray Cat to do that because they're so picky about who they allow in their world. This cutie-pie must've done his research and noticed there are five happy fur children in the house, so it must be a good fact that this stunner claims the porch as his, and without apology, just goes to show the impressive confidence he has going for him. Like he didn't ask to be part of the family, but told them, which wouldn't surprise me one bit. The resident pets, Simon, Tokyo, Londyn, Parys, Beau, and a randomly rescued squirrel, have already reaped the benefits of how much love is in this home. The two dogs and three cats follow Mom everywhere because they love her so much. Those quiet moments, like when she sat on the floor near the window, drew them all near. That kind of reaction is exactly why the pretty kitty decided this is exactly where he wants to be, and thankfully, Mom is all for it! Yes, Stray Cats Choose Their People In terms of "stuff only cats do," a stray showing up on your doorstep means they did in fact notice you, and chose you to care for them or feed them. Even the independent and feral kitties need love and affection in their lives, so it really is a gift when they visit. Assuming they don't have pet parents worried sick about where they've been, I say give them what they came for: some delicious food, a few yummy treats, and your love, however long they decide to stay. 🐶🐾🐾 'Ridiculously Attractive' Stray Cat Stakes Claim on Family Like an Unbothered King first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets
Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets originally appeared on Parade Pets. Dogs either love or despise taking a bath, with little room in between. But for those who enjoy splashing around and getting wet, a tub filled with water and one of their favorite humans is an invitation they simply can't resist. That was certainly the case for Murphy, the Golden Retriever. Though his mom may have been aiming for a peaceful solo soak, Murphy wasn't about to let that happen. So, in the most polite and adorable way possible, he invited himself in to join her. Watch the hilarious invasion in this video from August 2: As much as I love my dogs, neither is a big fan of bath time, and after seeing this, I'm thinking that might be for the best. But at least Murphy was exceptionally polite about his entering the tub to join Mom, Belle (@belleandmurphy), this Golden Retriever took a few sips of bathwater and then gracefully hopped in. His face beamed with pride, and he looked so happy to share the space with her. While we can't know exactly what dogs are thinking, Murphy's joyful expression made it clear he had only the best intentions and heaps of love to offer. Dogs' Affectionate Behavior and Bath Time According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), many dogs view their people as part of their 'pack' and feel compelled to stay close during personal moments, such as bath time. Some simply enjoy the water, others associate it with bonding, and a few just want to be as close to their people as possible. Then again, Murphy might just like the tub as you can see in this funny video from August 4: Fans were thoroughly amused. Viewer @tayyely responded, 'I love that you just accepted it LOL.' While @otisgoldenboy shared, 'Everything is for them always.' And @josic_ll added, 'His smile is everything!' It truly is. Whether they're crashing our baths or just claiming our space, dogs have a knack for making everything a little brighter, even if they don't quite grasp the concept of alone time. 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Brilliant Husky Opens Doors on Command and Blows Everyone's Minds
Brilliant Husky Opens Doors on Command and Blows Everyone's Minds originally appeared on Parade Pets. We love our pets even when they don't want to play or they're just taking a snooze. But when they perform a trick or do something that shows us how smart they truly are, we find ourselves even more in awe. One cute and clever Husky has learned how to open doors on command. And we're not talking about nudging it open with his snout. Nope. This brilliant boy uses the handle just like a human. Check out this hilarious video uploaded to TikTok and watch this pooch blow our minds with his dexterity. "My husky opens doors on command. I won," the clip's caption states. "My smart boy is so cool. He opens all the doors for me, just like his dad." Amazing, right? Imagine how helpful this would be if you're coming home with your arms full of groceries. It would be great, too, if you're holding a laundry basket or carrying a child. Viewers are rightfully impressed. "And that's a win," wrote one viewer. "On command is crazy … Mine just figured it out because she was tired of being left out," another person commented. 🐶🐾🐾We wonder what other tricks this pup can do!How Smart Are Huskies? While they're often admired for their blue eyes and stunning coats, Huskies are very smart and hard-working dogs. They enjoy both physical and mental exercise. According to experts, teaching these clever canines helpful and practical tricks is good for their minds. It would be great if you could give this dog other jobs around the house. Like, "Hey, do you mind cooking dinner tonight?" We have to think that pups wouldn't mind doing a bit of taste testing. Even something small, like taking out the garbage or recycling, would be nice. Just sayin'.Huskies love to dig, so perhaps this pup could provide a paw or two and dig some holes in the garden during planting season. We love that his family makes such a fuss over this trick. That positive reinforcement will surely go a long way toward encouraging him to do it more frequently and maybe even learn some other impressive feats in the future.
