Cats get a pretty bad rep for being cold-hearted animals.
But just because they may not do ‘paw’ on demand or lick your face, doesn’t mean they don’t have felines too (sorry).
In fact, though we admit cats are pretty chill, they’re actually very loving too – and sometimes clingy as hell.
The 11 pictures below totally prove that.
Assertive women are commonly known as being bitchy, aggressive and ‘nasty’.
Just look at Hillary. A nastier woman you couldn’t find – just ask Donald.
Believing you’re qualified for the top jobs is a classic Nasty Woman move.
Which is why a new study has found that ‘nasty’ and ‘assertive’ women are often paid more at… Read the full story
When Wanda the cocker spaniel was born with deformed legs, it seemed as though there was little hope for her.
Vets diagnosed the pup with congenital shoulder dysplasia and, after exhausting all efforts to rotate her bones back in to place, it appeared there was not much more they could do.
Specialists insisted that the only option was to put her down – but then a pair of dog lovers from a local rescue centre came up with a genius idea – a doggy wheelchair.
It happens every year.
We walk to work mid-November, and are filled with rage. Why? Not because of slow-walkers (although they are intensely irritating), but because through our neighbours windows, we see Christmas trees.
CHRISTMAS TREES. IN NOVEMBER.
This, clearly, is an outrage.
The sheer, shaking anger then gets chanelled into a spirited debate/screaming match in the office over when it’s appropriate to put up a Christmas tree.
The answer, we’re sure you’ll agree, is clear. Definitely not until it’s December, at least.
Preferably a… Read the full story
As grownups, we often find ourselves trying to recapture the joy of Christmas we felt when we were kids.
But it turns out that we shouldn’t be focusing on our childhood selves, looking to nostalgia and Lego for happiness.
Instead, we should be focusing on dogs.
Dogs are the truest believers in Christmas joy.
Dogs don’t question. They don’t moan that they got the wrong Polly Pocket. Dogs are just in the moment. They embrace Christmas with everything they’ve got.
Look to Kya, then, for… Read the full story
Travis Henning’s parents are convinced he is gay. He’s not.
But he isn’t about to start a campaign to convince any differently. After all, whether he is or he’s not, he’s the same guy they have always loved.
However, Travis decided to reward their curiosity not with a simple ‘no, I’m not into guys’ but with a video of himself and his best friend having some romantic alone time together in Thailand.
Posting the video, titled ‘Just Friends’, to YouTube, the California-based prankster has already racked up over 1 million views – with at least… Read the full story

Some of those offers will only be available for Black Friday itself, on November 25, but some will last through the weekend to Cyber Monday.
Here are all the opening times for stores as well as when many of the deals will kick off online.

If you happen to have a spare blanket lying around your house (perhaps that wooly one your grandma gave you last year), there’s now an easy way to use it for something lovely.
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has made an appeal for blankets. All the blankets.
They’re asking people to donate any blankets they fancy to the shelter, to keep rescue dogs and puppies warm and cosy as the weather gets chillier.
The shelter… Read the full story
The internet has been left with broken hearts after one 16-year-old girl shared her grandfather’s final message to her and her siblings before he passed away three days later following a battle with lung cancer.
Daysia Torres shared a short video that her grandfather had filmed for her back in 2014.
‘My grandpa made this video for me and my siblings three days before he passed away,’ she wrote.
‘Life is too short, appreciate your loved ones.’
In the video, her grandfather told Daysia and her siblings… Read the full story
Black Friday is almost upon us with thousands of discounts about to be unleashed.
Gift sets – usually synonymous with gaudy packages containing cheap, grainy, lip balm, eczema-inducing bath bubbles and stink out the room body lotion, doomed to sit forlornly gathering dust on your bathroom window until you either chuck them out or donate them to a tombola.
But not any more.
For behold this – the 12 Gins Of Christmas gift set from Eden Mill.
First up, yes, it does cost £69, so nobody’s going to bother getting you this for the office Secret Santa (unless they fancy you).
So it’s one for the serious gift list that you leave lying around / Facebook message your loved ones now.
But it does contain seriously festive… Read the full story
There’s no denying it.
Once the Christmas lights are switched on along your local high street or in town, that is the official countdown to Christmas and, suddenly, everything is put on rush.
Presents are bought with fervour, relatives’ invitations are sent out and more food than you can ever eat will be ordered for the big day.
If you love looking at these beautifully creative and festive lights then you’ll love this list of the top 12 Christmas lights to enjoy before becoming a slave to the kitchen.
Most kids adore animals. So it was no surprise that these two little boys were all excited about turkeys at Thanksgiving.
If you reckon Black Friday’s only about flat screen TVs and sofas, let us tell you – you’re missing out.
Turns out Black Friday is also a pretty brilliant day to load up on makeup, fragrance, and all the other assorted beauty stuff you fancy.
Think Christmas presents, perfumes you can’t justify spending a load of money on, fancy brushes.
But if you want to get all the beauty stuff of your dreams AND feel like you’ve actually landed a bargain, you’ll need to be prepared.
Get ready, make a list of what you need, and browse our list of the best beauty offers out there.

I feel like this is going to be an unpopular opinion. But I hate Winter Wonderland.
I went once, and was so excited for it – it sounded like a combination of all my favourite things.
Christmas? Check. Mulled wine? Check. Being outdoors in the crisp, wintry air? Check.
But I got there and had a horrible time, surrounded by horrible people, horrible food and (okay, this wasn’t Winter Wonderland’s fault) horrible weather.
I couldn’t understand why each year my Facebook feed still filled up with people excitedly heading there, like little… Read the full story
Black Friday is tedious. Half of the companies hike their prices up about a month before so the deals look incredible when they’re actually not. And the other half just want to sell you crap you really don’t want.
But one Black Friday deal we can all get on board with is £1 pizza.
Yes, you read that right.
Tomorrow, Strada is giving away big bowls of fresh pasta, risotto and whole pizzas for a single £1.
So that might be a mussels, squid and tiger prawn risotto for lunch. Or a rustica pizza for dinner.
All you’ve got to do is pre-book a table via this special Black Friday link and voila, you’ll be able to feast like a king for the price of a peasant.

Most of us don’t really learn to swim until we’re about to start primary school – and even then, it’s mostly doggy paddle.
But not three-year-old Fedor Afonasiev.
This toddler is probably the world’s youngest freediver – a form of underwater diving which relies on the swimmer’s ability to hold their breath rather than using breathing equipment.
If you’re still planning on using Black Friday only as an opportunity to buy an electric toothbrush, you’re thinking too small, my friend.
Did you realise that Black Friday deals also apply to alcohol?
As in, actual big bottles of alcohol at significantly reduced prices?
We’ll admit, we’re rarely forward-thinking enough to buy our alcohol online instead of hurriedly buying it from a Sainsbury’s Local twenty minutes before pre-drinks.
But this is a very special occasion. This is when we should finally fulfill our goals of having our very own… Read the full story
Black Friday is officially here, so it’s officially time to lose your sh*t and do an insane amount of shopping.
If you don’t have sore arms from carrying bags and a seemingly endless array of packages being delivered, you’re doing it all wrong.
