For 18 years, Mango the cat has been Paul’s cherished companion and only “child.” Mango is known for showering Paul with kisses and affection, engaging in “heart-to-heart” conversations, and spending endless hours showing love.

When Paul met his future wife, Tiffany, he mentioned Mango’s fondness for giving kisses. Tiffany found it intriguing yet hard to believe. However, upon meeting Mango, Tiffany was greeted with a kiss, proving Paul’s words true. Despite Mango’s affection for both Paul and Tiffany, his bond with Paul remains unparalleled.

When Tiffany and Paul learned they were expecting a human baby, they were anxious about Mango’s reaction. “When we have Hayden, how is Mango going to feel about this? How are we going to introduce them? We’re going to rock his world with this baby? We’re actually nervous about it,” Tiffany shared.

Their concerns were understandable. Mango had been Paul’s sole companion for over a decade, and the arrival of Tiffany and now a baby could potentially disrupt his world. They wondered if Mango would feel resentment or love towards the new family member.

To their relief, when they brought Hayden home, Mango immediately accepted him. Mango recognized Hayden as his brother, and the two formed an instant bond. Just as he did with Paul and Tiffany, Mango showered Hayden with kisses, and Hayden reciprocated the love. Their days were spent side by side, and any initial worries faded away as the bond between them grew stronger.

Paul and Tiffany often referred to Mango as their “angel in a cat package.” Sadly, after 19 years of being part of the family, Mango passed away in February 2022 due to a series of medical conditions. “Mango was our first baby, and we experienced a greater life because of him. When we struggled to conceive, he was there for all the struggles. He taught his little brother gentleness and love… He was truly a once in a thousand lifetimes cat. We will miss your sweet kisses and love, Mango,” Paul wrote on Mango’s Instagram account.

The post Dad Nervous to Introduce Cat, His Only “Child” for 18 Years, to New Human Brother appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

Not all pets conform to the age-old stereotype of cats and dogs being natural enemies. This is particularly true for Halo, an 8-month-old male cat, and Harper, a 9-month-old female golden retriever, who live in Toledo, Ohio. Their bond is strong and loving, though their interactions might suggest otherwise at first glance.

To the casual observer, Harper and Halo might appear to be in a constant state of conflict. However, their antics are simply playful roughhousing. One of their favorite games resembles a form of hide-and-seek, although it’s mostly Harper doing the hiding. Harper’s size advantage allows her to easily envelop Halo, making him nearly invisible when they cuddle.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

There’s some doubt about Halo’s enthusiasm for this game. In a video recorded by their dad, a note of concern is evident. “Harper?” he gently reprimands as the golden retriever buries her nose under her paw, concealing something underneath. “What are you doing?” he questions. Harper then reveals Halo, who blends perfectly with her golden fur, nestled underneath her.

“Oh, my goodness,” their dad exclaims in surprise. Although Halo’s mouth is open, he doesn’t seem particularly distressed. In fact, he appears quite content initially. However, when Harper shifts and rolls over him, Halo begins to nibble at her and launches into playful attack mode. “Poor kitty,” their dad remarks as the video concludes.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Their playful dynamics have captured the hearts of many, with over 3.1 million views on their video. Viewers are charmed and amused by the duo’s interactions. One commenter humorously noted, “I can’t tell if they’re friends or if the dog’s holding the cat hostage.” Another commented, “The cat acted like he was embarrassed the humans saw him cuddling the dog.” Despite these playful interpretations, it’s evident that Halo and Harper share a happy and affectionate bond.

The harmonious relationship between these two is likely influenced by Harper’s breed. Golden retrievers are known for their kind and empathetic nature, making them one of the best dog breeds to live with cats. According to Nylabone, their natural inclination to be gentle and accepting helps them coexist peacefully with feline companions.

However, it’s crucial to properly train golden retrievers not to chase cats. Once this training is accomplished, golden retrievers and cats can form a loving and harmonious relationship. Their affectionate and gentle demeanor ensures they are careful around smaller animals, and their intelligence allows them to recognize when a cat needs space.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Introducing a golden retriever to a cat should be done gradually, with plenty of treats on hand. Starting with introductions through a window or allowing them to familiarize themselves with each other’s scents via toys or belongings can help ease the process.

The post Dad Asks Golden Retriever ‘Where’s the Cat?’ and Pup Reveals Hiding Spot appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

With the intense heat of this summer, many of us are searching for ways to stay cool. While governments and organizations often provide cooling shelters for people, animals frequently have no such refuge. Fortunately, one kind shopkeeper decided to offer shelter to a stray cat in need.

Image Source Credit via Tiktok

The cat was desperately trying to enter Rayan Algamadi’s electronics store in Saudi Arabia. According to a local cat rescuer, stray cats are a common sight in the country. “The situation with cats in Saudi is very bad,” Lauren Braithwaite told The Cat Site. “You cannot go down a single street without seeing stray cats around. There are no animal shelters.”

Algamadi captured a video of the cat standing on its hind legs, meowing persistently at the glass door of his shop. As he approached, the cat’s meows grew louder, and it began pawing at the door, clearly pleading to be let in. Algamadi finally opened the door for the cat.

Image Source Credit via Tiktok

“Welcome, welcome,” Algamadi said in the video, as reported by The Dodo. “She wants to get in. Come on. Welcome, welcome. The sun is hot today, right? Welcome, welcome.” The cat walked in without hesitation and immediately lay down on the cool marble floor, finding a comfortable spot next to a display case. The cat then looked back at Algamadi and blinked, appearing grateful for the cool shelter and Algamadi’s kindness.

Image Source Credit via Tiktok

Algamadi also provided the cat with some water and food off-camera. The video of his compassionate act quickly went viral, amassing over 673,000 views. It appears the cat has become a regular visitor to Algamadi’s store, with additional videos showing the cat returning on multiple occasions. The cat stopped by in late June, July 15, July 21, and August 3, suggesting that Algamadi has gained a new friend and loyal visitor.

Image Source Credit via Tiktok

Many people on TikTok praised Algamadi for his kindness and for helping the cat during the intense heat. “Bless you and your business for your kindness. Poor thing looked way overheated,” one user commented. Another added, “Thank God for those who have a compassionate heart.” A third noted, “When cats squint their eyes like that, they are essentially giving you kisses and saying thank you. Glad you helped out this kitty.”

The post Stray Cat Begs Shopkeeper to Let Her in During Heatwave appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

Larry the cat has called 10 Downing Street his home since 2011. Adopted from a rescue shelter during David Cameron’s tenure as Prime Minister, Larry was bestowed with the title of Chief Mouser to tackle the mouse problem at the Prime Minister’s residence.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Larry, recommended by Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for his exceptional mouse-catching skills, joined the household without feeling the need to prove his prowess to anyone. Dubbed “Lazy Larry,” there were even thoughts of replacing him. However, his charm won over everyone, including the Prime Minister, ensuring his stay.

Larry’s tenure outlasted multiple Prime Ministers, transitioning from a stray to a cherished resident. His journey from a shelter to becoming a social media sensation with over 814K Twitter followers is nothing short of remarkable. His followers eagerly await his every tweet.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

But what exactly does Larry do at 10 Downing Street? Has he ever caught a mouse? Indeed, he has. In his initial months, Larry caught numerous mice. The following year, another cat joined him, and together they managed the mouse problem.

Larry roams the grounds, greets guests, and assists the security team in safeguarding the Prime Minister’s residence. Occasionally, he allows a select few to pet him.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

However, Larry has a notable weakness: he dislikes the rain. The main entrance lacks a cat door, meaning Larry must wait for someone to let him in. On a particular rainy day, a police officer on duty noticed Larry waiting outside. With no guests arriving soon and Larry getting wet, the officer took action.

The officer knocked on the door, and it was promptly opened, allowing Larry to stride in, dry and safe.

At 15 years old, Larry is now considered a senior cat. Although still in good health, his mouse-catching days are mostly behind him. He now enjoys lounging on furniture and posing for photos.

Despite his reduced duties, Larry has a unique advantage over the Prime Ministers he’s lived with: 10 Downing Street remains his permanent home, while the Prime Ministers come and go.

The post Cat Waits in Rain Outside Door; Kind Officer Comes to His Aid appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

Cats are known for their independent streaks. They have their own unique ways of letting us know when they want to be left alone and when they crave our attention. When the latter occurs, they aren’t shy about making it clear. They might meow persistently or jump onto our keyboards while we’re trying to work. In one particular instance, a stray cat took this attention-seeking behavior to new heights by interrupting a live news report.

Image Source Credit via Facebook

TV journalist Artur Lira was in the midst of reporting a serious story when an unexpected visitor—a stray cat—decided to steal the spotlight. The feline’s antics quickly diverted attention away from the news segment. Artur found the interruption amusing and shared the delightful moment on his Facebook page.

The incident occurred while Artur was reporting on an arrest. The stray cat, seeking affection, began rubbing against his legs, prompting Artur to break into laughter. The cat’s persistent meowing and demands for attention were impossible to ignore. Artur obliged, petting the cat, who responded by nudging Artur’s hand with his head. However, whenever Artur attempted to resume his report, the cat demanded more attention.

Image Source Credit via Facebook

In another scene, as Artur stood behind a police truck ready to continue his report, the same stray cat reappeared, popping his head out comically and causing Artur to burst into laughter once more. Artur shared the amusing video on Facebook, captioning it:

“That time you’re recording the text and feel a cat passing between your legs But he was so cute that he can’t even feel angry. Have you ever thought about going live? And when I moved he went there too. I think this cat wanted to be famous.”

Image Source Credit via Facebook

The video quickly went viral, garnering over 2.4k reactions and hundreds of comments and shares. Viewers were curious about the stray cat’s fate, with one person suggesting, “Adopt the cat,” and another joking, “Congratulations, you now have a cat!”

The response was so overwhelming that Artur posted a follow-up with good news. The stray cat, who frequently hung around the police station where officers would feed him, had found a forever home. Artur named the cat Frajola Delegato and arranged for his aunt to adopt him.

Image Source Credit via Facebook

“WE HAD A HAPPY ENDING!!! Everyone was sad because my mom can’t adopt the cat. And as I said, I understand her decision and in a way I agree. But my aunt Neide decided to stay with Frajola. I’m very happy because he’s staying in our family. My aunt lives near my house so I always visit him. Today at the beginning of the night I picked him up at the police station, bought food, snacks, silverware, collar and took him to my aunt’s house. There’s a big garden and space for him to run and play. Tomorrow I’m taking him to spay, get shots and give him a bath. I’m very happy and I know you guys too. Now our DeleGato has a home to receive even more love and affection,” Artur wrote on Facebook.

The post Adorable Stray Cat Crashes News Report and Steals Reporter’s Heart appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

Imagine searching for your missing cat and deciding to consult your dog for help. Melanie faced this exact situation when her cat, Chippy, was nowhere to be found. She turned to her dog, Theodore, who lay on his bed with an innocent expression that suggested he was hiding something.

“Theodore, where’s Chippy?” Melanie inquired.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Theodore’s body language and facial expression indicated he was feigning ignorance. He remained on his bed, giving Melanie a look that might make her feel guilty for asking. However, the secret he was guarding quickly came to light.

While Theodore played dumb, a small paw emerged from under his chin, forcing him to lift his head. It was Chippy!

Theodore had been concealing his feline brother beneath his large frame. Chippy, likely struggling to breathe, had to push Theodore’s head up to get some air.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

In this act, Theodore’s fib was exposed to their mom. Initially, Theodore appeared startled by Chippy’s emergence but quickly resumed his affectionate behavior. It became evident that Theodore simply wanted endless cuddles with Chippy. He started licking and kissing Chippy without hesitation.

Whether Chippy enjoyed or was annoyed by Theodore’s affection wasn’t clear. He might have loved the attention but not how Theodore was lavishing it. Regardless of Chippy’s true feelings, Theodore had no plans to stop. When Chippy attempted to leave the bed, Theodore placed his paw to prevent him from escaping. Chippy was momentarily trapped!

Image Source Credit via YouTube

But not really. According to their mom, Chippy wouldn’t tolerate such close cuddles if he didn’t secretly enjoy them. Viewers of this heartwarming scene couldn’t help but admire the strong bond between Theodore and Chippy.

“The cat’s trying to act annoyed while secretly loving the affection,” commented Aldo Torres.

“This is about the sweetest thing I ever saw when it comes to animals, I love it,” added Ducky Lou Diva.

Some viewers even made lighthearted jokes about the situation, suggesting that Chippy was thrilled to see his mom after being stuck under all that fur or that he was annoyed with Theodore for messing up his fur when he pressed his paw against Theodore’s chin.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

What do you think Chippy felt while buried under Theodore? Did he enjoy the cuddles from his dog brother?

Melanie feels fortunate and blessed to witness the close relationship between Theodore and Chippy, especially considering the typical dynamics between cats and dogs. These animals usually don’t get along due to their differing body languages, which can lead to misunderstandings.

The post Mom Asks Bernese Mountain Dog ‘Where’s the Cat?’ and He Reveals Hiding Spot appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

We often treasure that one loyal friend who always stands by us, no matter what. Interestingly, animals too exhibit similar loyalty and support for one another, relying on their instincts to navigate challenges and dangers.

Like humans, animals come to the aid of their companions when needed. The video you are about to hear about showcases an unexpected alliance between two typically adversarial species: dogs and cats.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Have you ever witnessed a dog breaking up a catfight? Many of us have grown up believing that dogs and cats are sworn enemies. However, numerous heartwarming stories have emerged, illustrating the strong bonds that can form between these common household pets. Despite these stories, it’s undeniable that conflicts between cats and dogs are more frequently observed than their moments of camaraderie.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

While the rivalry between cats and dogs has some basis, it’s not rooted in natural animosity. The American Kennel Club explains, “Cats and dogs are by no means natural enemies, but there are a few behavioral differences that can set them at odds.” This insight helps us understand the dynamics better.

In the video uploaded by FactsTV LK on YouTube, which has garnered over 13 million views since 2018, we see a remarkable example of interspecies friendship. The clip begins with two cats in a standoff—one black and white, the other orange and white. As the tension mounts, a Golden Retriever intervenes, gently grabbing the black and white cat by the scruff and removing it from the situation.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

It’s almost as if the dog is saying, “Come here, little buddy!” The dog’s only concern is maintaining peace, and it’s astonishing how effortlessly the dog resolves the conflict. Even more impressive is the cat’s complete compliance, suggesting a deep bond of trust and friendship between them. The Golden Retriever seems to act like the area’s peacekeeper.

It’s likely that the dog and cat belong to the same household, with the dog playing the role of a protective older sibling. The scenario might resemble the dog admonishing the cat, “I told you not to start fights here! Mom and Dad will be upset if they find out!”

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Online viewers found this scene equally entertaining, with many imagining their own dialogues between the pets. One commenter joked, “The dog is pulling the cat away like ‘this is why I can’t take you anywhere, always trying to fight the street cats.’” Another quipped, “You’re lucky my man is holding me back; you’d be catching these paws right about now!” A third commenter highlighted the trust between the animals: “Seriously though, the amount of trust the cat has for the dog is insane. She didn’t jump or attack him. When I tried to pick up my cat during a fight, I got scratched badly.”

The unique bond between the Golden Retriever and the cat might stem from early socialization. As noted by experts, “Despite these differences, many cats and dogs learn to live in harmony and even develop friendly relationships — leading them to play and nap together. Early socialization between kittens and puppies helps them overcome suspicions, and introducing young animals to tolerant, older animals encourages respectful habits.”

This video clearly demonstrates the profound trust and friendship that can exist between a cat and a dog, showing us that even the most unlikely friendships are possible with understanding and care.

The post Golden Retriever Ends Catfight by Dragging Best Friend Away by the Scruff appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

Although cats can’t develop Down syndrome, some can exhibit conditions with similar characteristics. When this occurs, the stigma they face can be quite similar to that experienced by humans.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

This is the story of Willow, a cat who narrowly escaped euthanasia due to her facial deformity, which resembles Down syndrome. Willow’s distinctive appearance, featuring slanted eyes and a flat nasal profile, sets her apart from most other cats. However, this does not make her any less deserving of a loving home and a fulfilling life. Unfortunately, many pet facilities and shelters do not share this view.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Willow’s journey to fame began because she was different and almost didn’t survive. She was discovered by Lori Farris, a 50-year-old woman who found the kitten on her doorstep. Lori took Willow in, bathed her, and sought veterinary care for her. The vet’s feedback was disheartening: in addition to her unusual facial features, Willow was suffering from a severe infection. The vet suggested euthanasia, deeming Willow “not pretty enough for anyone to adopt.”

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Thankfully, Lori refused to follow this advice. Her decision allowed Willow to grow into a wonderful adult cat, proving that those who look beyond appearances can make a significant difference. Despite her unique look, Willow is undeniably cute, a sentiment shared by many.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Willow’s adorableness is now widely recognized. With her broad face, small eyes, and tiny nose, she has captivated the hearts of many. It’s hard to imagine that she was once considered “not pretty enough” to live. Today, Willow is a social media star with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, proving her desirability beyond any doubt. Her posts consistently garner thousands of likes, and the comments are filled with admiration. “Such an adorable little face,” one commenter wrote. “Awwwww…such a sweetie,” said another.

Willow also participates in numerous photoshoots, often wearing signs with inspirational messages. One of the most poignant signs she wore read, “You never look good trying to make someone else look bad.” This sentiment is a reminder that we all have our unique qualities, and those differences do not diminish our worthiness of love.

Willow’s story is a testament to the idea that every being deserves love, regardless of their appearance. Her journey from an unwanted kitten to a beloved social media sensation highlights the impact of compassion and acceptance.

The post Cat Almost Euthanized for Not Meeting ‘Beauty’ Standards appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

We form profound connections with our pets, offering them unconditional love and receiving it in return. This bond is particularly strong between children and their pets. Therefore, it’s especially heartbreaking when a child’s pet goes missing.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Such was the case for a young boy and his beloved cat. As his family was in the process of moving, the cat likely became frightened or disoriented. Amid the chaos of moving furniture, the cat dashed out the door and vanished.

For seven agonizing months, the boy was heartbroken and filled with worry about his missing cat’s fate. As the weeks turned into months, hope of the cat’s return began to fade. Fortunately, the cat had been microchipped. When someone brought the cat to a vet’s office, the microchip allowed them to track down the boy’s family.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

The boy’s parents, wanting to ensure it was indeed their cat before raising his hopes, decided to turn the joyous news into a surprise. His mother captured the heartwarming moment on video, and it’s so touching that it might bring tears to your eyes.

After school, the boy walked through the house to find his mom. As he rounded the corner, he was stunned to see her holding their lost cat. He dropped his backpack, brought his hands together, and took a moment to comprehend what he was seeing. Then, overwhelmed with emotion, he burst into tears.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

His instinctive reaction was to run toward his furry friend, arms outstretched. Overcome with joy, he silently wept while holding his long-lost companion. The cat, sensing the boy’s distress, gave him a gentle kiss on the face, as if to reassure him that everything would be alright.

The cat appeared happy to be back with his family, enjoying the affectionate cuddles. However, as cats often do, he soon decided he had had enough and tried to wriggle free from the embrace. Yet, the boy, still in awe of his pet’s return, wasn’t ready to let go.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t want to let the cat out of my sight or arms again, no matter how much it tried to escape. Sometimes, cats need cuddles even if they don’t realize it.

The family may never know where the cat wandered during those seven months, but they are simply grateful to have him back. The boy’s reaction to his pet’s return highlights the deep bond they share and how much the cat means to him. It’s evident that this young boy is a true animal lover, and his joy at seeing his cat again is heartwarming. This cat is surely in for a lot of pampering from now on.

The post Little Boy Reunites with Long-Lost Cat After Seven Months appeared first on iHeartCats.com.

He’s always been a dog person, while they’ve taken on the role of temporary caregivers for a stressed-out cat in need of affection. Now, he can’t imagine life without Bug and is urging his wife to make the adoption official.

Bug started out as a stray kitten. He arrived at the Michiana Humane Society, starved for love and affection. Whenever a staff member, volunteer, or visitor approached, Bug would extend his paw through his kennel, hoping for a touch.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

Bug also had a habit of rubbing his face against the kennel door, causing fur loss. His stress levels were so high that he barely ate, presenting a heartbreaking scene. The staff even placed another cat in his kennel for companionship, but it wasn’t enough. Bug needed a home environment, even if temporary.

Luckily for Bug, when the staff contacted their network of foster families, they found a willing home for him. Bug adjusted quickly to his new environment.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

In his foster home, Bug quickly won over one particular person: his foster dad, a self-proclaimed dog lover. “Bug’s all about the love. He pretty much would not let my husband ignore him,” his wife shared with The Dodo. “My husband’s like, ‘Oh, we’re keeping him for sure.’”

Bug was always by his foster dad’s side, on his lap, and constantly licking him. In return, his foster dad showered him with affection. It wasn’t long before he declared to his wife and the shelter staff that Bug was there to stay.

Image Source Credit via YouTube

The shelter staff found it amusing that the dog-lover in the family was the one insisting on adopting Bug. But this was great news for Bug, who would now always have a home and never face the loneliness of a kennel or the streets again.

In his new home, Bug isn’t just living with his human parents; he also has cat brothers. “He likes to play with his brothers,” his mom said. “They were on top of the refrigerator. Leo wanted to come over to me for some attention, but Bug was like, ‘No, we’re playing. We’re not done here.’”

Image Source Credit via YouTube

It’s wonderful that they all get along so well. If they didn’t, who knows what would have happened to Bug?

Bug was a highly sought-after cat, with many people eager to adopt him. It’s heartwarming for Bug to know that so many people wanted to give him a loving home filled with the affection he deserves.
