Ducks won't take no for an answer

The worst thing about animals is that they can't talk . I know there have been a couple of scientifically studied gorillas and dogs on TikTok who can say words, but that's not the same thing as talking. Humans are the only species that can speak in a grammatically coherent way, and that's a damn shame. I've had several dogs I wish I could talk to because they probably have crazy life stories. My first dog, Toby, had an extremely traumatic life before we got him. When the dog rescue found him, h…

It's that time of the week!

Only 340 days left!

It's not every day you see a cat with a job, but if you asked my cat what her vocation is, she would probably tell you (in trill-y meows) that it's her job to supervise me whenever I take a crap. Then there are the famous bodega cats of New York, fixtures in delis where you can get discount cigarettes and a sandwich for $15 or less. Recently, we became acquainted with the ‘Cats With Jobs’ Twitter account. It's exactly what it sounds like: a lengthy archive of cats who are clearly working hard f…

I thought the manner in which he communicated that he was his kid's father through Scrabble was an ingenious cinematic moment.

One of those movies was the sequel to The Shaggy Dog , aptly titled, The Shaggy D.A. Instead of the original…

As human beings, we tend to project human emotions and attitudes onto animals. This concept is called anthropomorphism, and even though it's not scientifically sound, it's still fun to do. In my anthropomorphic opinion , cats embody a laissez-faire attitude, appearing to be unamused and uninterested in the antics of people. Dogs are the opposite. They are spunky and extroverted and want to be all up in everybody's business. Possums embody something that everyone has within them, no matter their…

There are a lot of animals in the Muppet Cinematic Universe . They've got frogs, pigs, bears, aliens, rats, and all kinds of whatnots! If I had to choose, my favorite muppet would be Animal. He's got such a lust for life that we all could use a little bit of. This might be a bit of an unpopular Muppet opinion, but if it weren't for Animal, I don't know if the Electric Mayhem would have survived as a group. Sure, we all love Dr. Teeth and Janis, but Animal brings the punk edge that the band so d…
