Fluffy Orange Cat Struts Pirate Peg Leg After Cardboard Towel Roll Playtime Fun
Ahoy maties! Meet Pudding, an adorable fluffy orange cat who found himself with a pirate-like peg leg after a mishap during playtime. The cat, whose mom gave empty toilet paper rolls to play with, was cracking up when she found Pudding unsure how to get out of the conundrum, and Pudding's reaction to being stuck is making the rest of us laugh, too!
The video starts with Pudding already wearing the peg leg. He wants to walk over to mom but is unsure how to do it. Watch on as mom talks to him - I think it's safe to say that Pudding is a bit embarrassed about the situation he ended up in (literally!)
This was just too cute! Pudding's reaction to his new leg was adorable. He was completely unsure what to do next! Viewers also got a kick out of the video. @meldot25 had the perfect new name, "Peg Leg Pudding!" @cialater246 pointed out, "How he pushes it away after he gets it off! That's LOL!" @lorancarioni added, "Very proud of himself - as he should be!"Pudding is a gorgeous cat with all that fluffy fur and such a sweet demeanor! Orange cats are known for having attitudes, but can't that be said about all cats? We all refer to orange cats simply as "orange cats," but they are not their own breed - most of them are orange tabby cats. However, orange tabby cats are also not a breed; when people refer to them, they refer to the cats' striped coats, one of the most common coat patterns around. Breeds that have orange cats include including domestic shorthairs, Maine Coons, Persians, and Scottish Fold.
Facts.net shared a fact about orange cats that I was surprised by - most orange cats are male. The reason why has to do with the 'Ginger Gene', 'The captivating orange fur of these cats is due to a gene called 'O' (for orange), which is located on the X chromosome. This gene determines the production of orange pigment, called pheomelanin, in the fur. Interestingly, male cats only need one copy of the 'O' gene to display an orange coat, while females must have two copies. This unique genetic arrangement results in the majority of orange cats being male.' Only about 1 in 5 orange cats is female!
Most orange cats have some similar traits including an M-shaped marking on the forehead, eyes lined with either white or black lines, a paler orange color on their chins and bellies, banding on their legs and tails, and thin pencil-like lines on the face.
Sadly, my husband and daughter are allergic to cats so we can't have one. But if I could bring one home, I'd definitely want it to be an orange cat!

What Hungry Cat Does in the Kitchen Shocks Internet: 'They're Evolving'
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 rescue cat named Klaus has gone viral after pulling off an unexpected kitchen trick that has left internet users both amused and slightly concerned. The viral TikTok video shared on Friday by his owner, under the username @caits182, shows the black and white cat perched on the kitchen counter, energetically pawing at the microwave door, until he finally manages to open it. "Ever seen a cat open a microwave?" the caption says, as the poster rushes to remove the cat from the appliance. In a post shared later in the week, the poster explains that Klaus, who has a history of documented shenanigans on social media with his lookalike sibling, Wesley, is a 1.5-year-old who was rescued at 5 months and is a "a softie who loves cuddles." Cats are indeed smart creatures, but unlike humans their intelligence isn't measured by an IQ but rather by their cognitive abilities and the way they interact. Studies have found that cats have a sense of object permanence, and are able to recognize when an object is hidden from their sight. They have working memory and a well-developed long-term memory, which helps them achieve their goals. They can also distinguish between different time intervals and can recognize different quantities. They also look for human cues and gestures, to respond to human moods, and are able to recognize specific human voices and become attached to people in their lives. Compared to dogs, a cat's intelligence manifests differently. Dogs often seek human guidance while cats prioritize independence. Signs of a smart cat can vary, but they usually include problem-solving, demonstrating persistence, or immediately sensing when you're having a bad day and cheering you up. The smartest cat breeds include Abyssinian, Siamese, Scottish Fold, Persians, Cornish Rex, and Turkish Angora. A stock image shows a tuxedo cat hanging out on his owner's kitchen counter.

One user, LoveSyrinaIRL, commented: "As a cat expert, this can be very dangerous for him, as he might start cooking his own food and become a chef and open his own 5-star restaurant." Ednc said: "God forbid a cat shows he's capable of reheating his own food." Laura added: "They're evolving. The end is in sight for us."

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.

Orange Cat Carries Around Tiny Stuffed Animal in His Likeness and It's Too Sweet
Just like kids, sometimes our pets have security blankies or toys they carry around everywhere. Leroy Brown is an orange cat who has a favorite stuffie - it's an adorable little kitty that looks just like him! The video starts with Leroy walking down the stairs with his emotional support kitty in his mouth. His mom, Wendi, says he always has his baby, and we absolutely love this cute video! Wendi has posted other videos of Leroy with his baby, too. He really does always have his emotional support with him, and it's so sweet to see how gentle he is with it. @Madison <3 agreed, "Awww I didn't realize it was a stuffed kitten until the end MY FREAKING HEART!!! He needs a kitten ASAP!!!"Orange cats have big, quirky personalities and are really like the class clowns of the cat world. While we all refer to them as orange cats, they are not a distinct breed. They're actually just orange tabby cats, but tabbies aren't a breed of their own either! When people refer to tabby cats, they're really talking about their common coat pattern - their striped coats. Do all orange cats look the same? There are some characteristics to look for. shares, "Though each orange tabby is different, tabbies in general have specific characteristics that are easily identified. These include banding on the legs and tail, an M-shaped marking on the forehead, white or dark lining around the eyes, pigment on the paws and lips, thin 'pencil' lines on the face, and a pale color on the chin and belly. Did you know that most orange cats are male - about 80% of them are. explains the 'Ginger Gene', 'The captivating orange fur of these cats is due to a gene called 'O' (for orange), which is located on the X chromosome. This gene determines the production of orange pigment, called pheomelanin, in the fur. Interestingly, male cats only need one copy of the 'O' gene to display an orange coat, while females must have two copies. This unique genetic arrangement results in the majority of orange cats being male.' We hope Leroy's mom keeps sharing cute videos of him. He always makes us smile with his antics!
