A man who works at an animal shelter in Malaysia, was closing up one night, and noticed that one of the cats and one of the monkeys had formed a special bond with each other. He thought, as I do, that that was pretty special.
This video may seem long at 3:47, but it’s set to Chopin’s Nocturne for piano No. 2 in E flat major, which is definitely worth a listen… maybe two.
Happy Monkday

Primate keepers at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park near the town of Hythe in Kent, England, got into the festive spirit when they decided to treat the black and white colobus monkeys to early Christmas presents stuffed with seasonal treats. They’re cute, comical, and heartwarming.
Happy Monkday and Merry Christmas Eve
Here’s a feel-good heartwarming story for you this Caturday. ^-^
Earlier this week, while residents of New York City were battening down the hatches and stocking up on survival goods, one man on Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn got a big surprise.
Spencer Service, a 26-year-old park employee, looked out his window and saw a mother cat and a litter of newborn kittens huddled in the alley behind his building. He and his roommate decided they couldn’t just stand by and let the cats fend for themselves in the face of the oncoming storm, so they decided they’d try to give the felines some shelter. Service lined a cat carrier with T-shirts and went back to rescue the mom and kittens.
He wasn’t sure whether the mother cat would be receptive to his efforts, since mama cats are known to be fiercely protective of their newborns, but the cat walked right into the carrier. Service picked up the kittens one by one and put them in with her, then walked nearly two miles to Sean Casey Animal Rescue to save the little family from the storm’s increasing wrath.
Mom and kittens are now doing well, staying in a clean, dry home with one of the rescue’s volunteers until the kittens are old enough to be adopted.
As for Service: “I’m planning on taking one of them,” he says. “I can’t not.”
Spencer Service, we salute you for risking your own safety to save cats in need.

Everybody needs somedoggy sometimes…
I <3 this picture, it’s so heartwarming
The Columbus Zoo has welcome a new litter of cute and floofy Amur tiger cubs to their community. This is wonderful news, especially considering that a tiger hasn’t bred successfully in this zoo since 1990.
This video doesn’t have sound, but what it lacks in audio, it makes up for it in the adorability to make me squee. ^_^
Happy Caturday.
For Caturday, here’s a heartwarming article about the kitty with bad legs, and the doctor that wouldn’t give up on him.
Corky the Kitten was born in Fargo, North Dakota with an unfortunate genetic disorder, called bilateral arthrogryposis of the tarsus, where his legs were backwards and overlapping.
He was set to be euthanized, but was given a new lease on life when he was picked up by a local shelter, Cat’s Cradle, at the end of March. They took him to the Casselton Veterinary Service where Dr. Dan Burchill agreed to operate on the 8-month-old kitten.
After considering all options, Burchill determined he would be able to surgically fix his legs. Unaware of his condition, Corky was a “happy, healthy, engaging, fun cat who dragged his back legs around,” said Burchill.
“Dr.Burchill is our hero… he customized the surgery for Corky,” said Cat’s Cradle co-founders Gail Ventzke.
Despite requests for adoption, the shelter has decided that after his recovery he will spend the day at the shelter and the evenings at Ventzke’s home. They hope to have him certified as a therapy pet, to comfort people recovering from surgery.
Aw ^_^
