Tiny Calico Kitten's Hilarious Reaction To Being Called ‘Sweet Baby' Is Too Good
Tiny Calico Kitten's Hilarious Reaction To Being Called 'Sweet Baby' Is Too Good originally appeared on Parade Pets. 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! 🐶🐾🐾 Tiny Calico Kitten's Hilarious Reaction To Being Called 'Sweet Baby' Is Too Good first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 29, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

Honored by ESPN, Billy Bean's Husband Has Message For MLB
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 MLB's first Senior Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the late Billy Bean carved out a unique legacy. An outfielder and first baseman for the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres (1987-95), Bean made history by coming out as gay after he retired as a player. More news: Former American League All-Star Pitcher Passes Away Bean, who died last year at age 60, was named MLB's first-ever Ambassador for Inclusion by former Commissioner Bud Selig in July 2014. Greg Baker saw first-hand how seriously his husband committed himself to the work of making professional baseball a more inclusive place for those in the LGBTQ+ community. "He was always there to work things out with other people, to be a coach, encourage all sorts of people who met along the way," Baker told Newsweek Sports. "But I would see him come home at the end of the day at 6 p.m. and sit right there on the counter in the kitchen and get the laptop out and start just tidying things up — making sure he was dotting his I's and crossing his T's." Players pause for a moment of silence in memory of Billy Bean before the game between the Oakland Athletics and the Chicago White Sox at Oakland Coliseum on Aug. 6, 2024 in Oakland. Players pause for a moment of silence in memory of Billy Bean before the game between the Oakland Athletics and the Chicago White Sox at Oakland Coliseum on Aug. 6, 2024 in was presented the Stuart Scott ENSPIRE Award Tuesday on Bean's behalf at the 11th annual Sports Humanitarian Awards. The awards will be featured in ESPN studio programming and during the 2025 ESPYs, airing live on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET. Broader efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion — the very values that Bean championed — have recently come under attack in ways that intersect directly with baseball. More news: Former Orioles Pitcher Announces Return to Baseball Following Cancer Battle In March, the Department of Defense briefly removed, then restored, a web page recognizing trailblazing Dodgers star Jackie Robinson's service in the U.S. Army in World War II. The page honoring Robinson, who became the first Black player in modern American or National League history in 1947, reappeared following intense media backlash without the letters "DEI" in its URL. No active major league players have come out publicly since Bean played his final game in 1995. The question of whether a modern clubhouse would welcome such a player might have been answered last August, when a television microphone for the Boston Red Sox's regional sports network picked up outfielder Jarren Duran using a homophobic slur. NESN mics picked up Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran calling a heckling fan a "f*cking f*****" during Sunday's game (Warning, slur included in clip below) — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) August 12, 2024 By the time Duran met with reporters after the game, he was apologetic. The Red Sox echoed the apology in a written statement after the game and suspended Duran for two games. "Maybe it's gonna take a little longer than we think, you know?" Baker said Tuesday. More news: Former Cubs, Phillies Manager Passes Away MLB elevated April Brown from its Senior Vice President, Social Responsibility and Community Affairs to Senior Vice President, Social Responsibility and Diversity after Bean's death. The league still lists "inclusiveness" among the values on its careers page, after it removed references to "diversity" in March following an executive order by President Donald Trump. More news: Tigers All-Star, First Draft Pick to Appear in an MLB Game, Passes Away Baker said that Bean lived with his acute myeloid leukemia diagnosis for about a year. During that time, Baker said Bean "couldn't do the amount of work that he wanted to be able to do" and, as a result, "he felt that things were suffering." "I know that Billy certainly had a lot more work that he wanted to do, and that I know that there's a lot of work that still needs to be done," Baker said. "I just hope that they [Major League Baseball] find a way to continue the mission that he started and he did so well." For more MLB news, visit Newsweek Sports.

Final straw was the motor decided to lock up mid cycle, and the machine died. Article continues below "So, lovely coffee for a little under 18 months, not the best value but depending on your logic/price per coffee calculations not necessarily the worst. Would i buy it again, no."

Which Chicago skyscraper observation deck is better? We visited both
The news helicopter hovering over the Chicago Loop was right at eye level. That's what my family of four noticed right away as we stepped out onto the 1,353-foot-high glass balcony jutting out from the Willis Tower, the city's tallest skyscraper. Then we looked down. Through the 1.5-inch laminated glass panel floor beneath our feet, we could see tiny boats cruising along the Chicago River and traffic backing up on Wacker Drive. The experience - called the Ledge at Skydeck Chicago - was an unexpected highlight during a recent family getaway. So was our time spent across town at the 94th-floor 360 Chicago, which has its own patented thrill experience: a row of moving glass ledges called TILT. When planning our five-day visit to Chicago, we didn't necessarily expect to make a stop at one, let alone two, of the city's sky-high observatories. It was our kids' first visit to the Windy City. We knew Millennium Park and its Bean sculpture (officially named Cloud Gate and now reopened after plaza renovations) was a must-stop, along with a few other recommended attractions and restaurants. And we tried to narrow down which of Chicago's fabulous array of museums our 8- and 10-year-old would like best. But once we decided to try to save on admission by getting CityPASS Chicago tickets ($142 for adults and $112 for kids), we added an elevator ride at the Willis Tower to the itinerary. That's because every CityPASS includes upfront admission to Skydeck Chicago, as well as the Shedd Aquarium. It also allowed us to pick three more from a list of six top attractions like the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium and an architecture river tour. The passes, which I easily accessed through the CityPASS app, are usable for up to nine days. We had a great time at the aquarium, and for the other stops we chose the Art Institute of Chicago, the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and - at our kids' request - the 360 Chicago observation deck at 875 North Michigan Avenue (often still referred to as the John Hancock Center). Last year, 360 Chicago updated its viewing platform and adjacent CloudBar cocktail lounge with floor and window murals and decor by area artists. The observatory also renovated and added art installations to the entry concourse that we walked through to get to the elevators. ____________ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

You Can Shop Hailey Bieber's Favorite Earrings for 80 Percent Off Right Now
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. If you've been coveting the chunky, retro-inspired gold earrings that Hailey Bieber has been rocking on Instagram lately, we have some great news: Not only are the styles she's worn still in stock, but they're currently on sale for 80 percent off. The silhouettes in question all come from affordable LA-based jewelry brand Heaven Mayhem, whose entire line tops out at $200. Right now, the brand is in the midst of their Archive Sale, where several styles of their jewelry, home decor, belts, and sunglasses are on sale for more than 80 percent off. While some of the celeb-worn styles have sold out, there are plenty left to choose from. Included in Bieber's collection are the brand's Bean earrings in silver, which are a whopping 68 percent off right now, bringing the price down from $90 to just $28. Founded in 2023 by creative director Pia Mance, Heaven Mayhem has quickly become the affordable accessories brand to have on your radar. Alongside Bieber, celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Lori Harvey, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Matilda Djerf have all turned to the label for its array of oversized, antique-inspired baubles. All pieces come in silver, gold, or of-the-moment mixed metal finishes. Additionally, the brand offers a handful of sleek belts and necklaces done with signature vintage-style hardware to complete your look. In case you needed any more convincing, I've personally tried a few pairs of Heaven Mayhem earrings and am also impressed. Not only are they stunning, but they also don't weigh down my earlobes, which can be a common issue with chunkier styles. While I've found similar pieces from competitors often fall, tip, or migrate from their intended position, even the largest silhouettes I tried from Heaven Mayhem lay flat against my ears. Below, shop the best of Heaven Mayhem's Archive Sale while supplies last. We don't expect many styles to stay in stock for long, so don't wait to shop.
