Pet influencers are hotter than ever. But how do dogs do taxes?
A dog-tired husky with bright pink ears rests on the marble hotel floor, napping before his next meet-and-greet. Around him, the atrium echoes with the sounds of Louboutins click-clacking and businessmen chattering over overpriced cocktails. The stone resting spot isn’t as comfortable as the luxury pet bed he’s accustomed to, but the pup’s plush Louis […]

HyperX’s new adorable gamer gear-themed pet toys are kind of paw-some
I bought a pet pug that acts like an entirely different animal – people are convinced it’s something else
YAWNING and staring might seem like feline behavior, but one pug has proven that some dogs have cat-like instincts too.
An adorable black puppy was caught on camera as she sat on the couch while cleaning herself, looking like she might let out a meow at any moment.
A Pug was caught on camera acting much more like a cat then a dog in a hilarious video[/caption]
The pet was seen licking her paws to clean herself in the clip posted by LADbible Ireland[/caption]
While most dogs spend their time tearing up toys and chasing balls, some have more mellow personalities.
In a recent video shared by LADbible Ireland, the bug-eyed creature was recorded with some added narration.
“This pug think’s she’s a cat,” the text read as the video zoomed in on the clueless subject.
The unnamed pug was busy licking her paws and pushing back the fur on her face to give herself a fresh look.
“Just getting my morning clean on,” the next caption joked.
The sweet dog was then seen letting out a long yawn, before making eye contact with whoever was behind the camera.
“This is exhausting stuff,” the narrator added, before asking “Can I help you?”
In the video’s caption, the poster admitted “I am convinced this is a cat in a pug costume.”
Animal-lovers quickly added their thoughts in the comments section, many sharing their own experiences with pets that seemed confused about their identify.
“We’ve had two Pugs and I always thought they were the felines of the canine world,” one person wrote.
Many gushed over the pug’s silly mannerisms.
“Pugs are just the cutest things! No matter what they do, they’re cute!!”
Some Pug owners compared their pets to other animals.
“Omg. My pug is kind of like a, cat, frog … alien too… jumping on tables … doin stunts…,” they added.
While this pug is certainly not a cat, it’s not unheard of for people to make identification mistakes.
Other people have also been fooled by creatures that appear to be dogs, but actually are an entirely different species.
In Texas, a baby fox separated from its mother was mistaken for a puppy by the person who found it.
Another rescuer believed they had saved a dog from their backyard in Australia, but it turned out to be a Dingo.
Despite her unusual behaviors, this pug is certainly not meant for the wild.
In the comments section, many Pug owners agreed that their pets display some unusual behaviors[/caption]
The adorable puppy also let out a few yawns, suggesting it had the mellow personality of a feline[/caption]
Haunted Pet Shop Claims Deceased Pets’ Ghosts Are Roaming the Aisles
Paul O’Grady’s heartbreaking final post mourning loss of beloved pet days before he died aged 67
PAUL O’Grady spoke of his heartache at losing one of his beloved pets just days before he died at age 67.
The Lilly Savage and Radio 2 star passed away “unexpectedly but peacefully” yesterday evening.
The star’s cause of death is yet to be confirmed[/caption]
Paul‘s cause of death is yet to be confirmed, but he had struggled with his health in recent years.
The shock loss has left fans and fellow celebs around the world heartbroken.
And just two weeks ago Paul told how he was grieving – after the loss of one of his beloved pet pigs.
Along with a video of the hog, animal lover Paul wrote: “Got back from a week in Newcastle playing Miss Hannigan in Annie to find that Tom Tom, one of my pigs had been put to sleep.
“I knew it was coming as he’d been diagnosed with a tumour but even so it’s awful when you lose a pet.
“He was the cheekiest of the gang and one of the other pigs who was obviously very fond of him is now depressed and gone into mourning and there’s those who say that animals don’t have feelings.
“On a lighter note I’m thoroughly enjoying playing Hannigan again after so long especially with a truly amazing and lovely cast. Next stop Edinburgh.”
Last night, Paul’s husband Andre Portasio said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.
“We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.
“He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion.
“I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years.”
Paul had been touring around the country in Annie, playing character Ms Hannigan right up until his death.
He had been booked to play the part for another week in Liverpool in June.
Born on June 14, 1955 in Birkenhead, before he hit the big time, TV star Paul performed as Lily Savage in the 80s.
He started off working the drag circuit with his act across pubs and clubs, and as he grew popular he eventually toured the country.
From 1989 to 1992, Paul performed annually as Lily at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, gaining increasing recognition for his act.
Paul followed this with a show titled Lily Savage Live from the Hackney Empire, which proved to be a sell-out.
Once he had gained national success, Paul was then asked to bring his act to mainstream TV.
He made guest appearances on TV programmes like The Bill and Brookside.
But it was when he took over from the late Paula Yates on The Big Breakfast from 1995 to 96 that he really hit the big time.
However he packed it in after one year saying that the early mornings “didn’t agree” with him.
As Lily he also hosted a reboot of hit BBC quiz show Blankety Blank.
Paul and Cilla Black were firm friends right up until she died back in 2015.
He even delivered the eulogy at Cilla’s funeral.
The Diablo IV beta let players do a lot — but not pet the dog
After two weekends of lengthy server queues, and a brief taste of the game’s opening areas and five classes, the Diablo IV beta is officially over. I personally didn’t get to play too much since I was doing other things, but I enjoyed the brief time I got to spend in Sanctuary.
I went into both weekends as a Barbarian. I played a Sorceress in Diablo II, and the ill-conceived Witch Doctor in Diablo III so I wanted something with a bit more in-your-face brutality. As a relative newcomer to the series, Diablo IV seems like a perfect “no thoughts, head empty” kind of game. Spam various attacks as your focus, mana, or spirit meter allows against enemies that really like to group up for maximum area-of-effect damage. Even bosses require no…

Still sitting at a record-low $360, the Samsung Bespoke Jet cordless stick vacuum with all-in-one Clean Station is an aesthetically pleasing, fancy stick vacuum with an auto-emptying dustbin that keeps you from inhaling a cloud of dust after each clean. We’re not huge fans of its absurd $900 price tag, but with this 60% discount on the misty white version, the juice is definitely worth the squeeze.

Why every pet owner needs this Roomba with a robotic mop arm
I tried grooming my pet cat – but it didn’t go to plan & it’s one of the worst haircuts in history
WHEN TikToker Elizabeth decided to give her pet a trim, she was left in complete hysterics after an utter failure.
Her Persian cat went from a fluffy ball of fur to being completely unrecognisable.
Her pet Persian was absolutely gorgeous before the cut[/caption]
Elizabeth often posted videos of the cat playing[/caption]
The pet cat had a very thick coat, and needed a trim[/caption]
Elizabeth shared some before videos of her gorgeous feline, showing his long white, grey and brown coat.
The elegant cat can be seen lying on the floor, basking in it’s fluffy glory.
She said: “Wait for the results… bad hair cut.”
The after photos are shocking – her cat was left with an uneven haircut and did not look pleased.
Elizabeth’s DIY solution to trim her cat did not end well, but users found it hilarious.
One TikToker tried to make Elizabeth feel better: “Its cute!”
In recent videos, her pet seems to have grown back it’s coat a bit, but has not fully recovered from the horrific haircut.
Lucky for Elizabeth, one cat groomer shared the six tips which can help her groom her feline friend a little more smoothly next time.
The experts suggest to begin grooming when your feline is a kitten, and brush them regularly.
Make sure you bathe your cat when they’re calm, and pay attention to the ears – if there’s discharge or redness, see a vet.
Clip your cat’s claws every few weeks, and make sure to reward your furry friend for their patience with you.
Another cat owner was left in hysterics after their pet came back completely bald – except for it’s face.
After his latest shave, pet Jin Jin did not return with his usual lion-style cut but instead was completely bald aside from his face.
One cat mum loves her pets so much that she got them their own £300 bedroom.
Pet lover Hannah Whitmore, 24, says she spends £100 on cat treats each month and admits her furry friends “own her.”
They have their own bedroom fit for a king, complete with a full-sized double bed and crown-shaped cat beds.
Some think one pet owner took things too far after she paid £19,000 to clone her beloved cat.
Kelly Anderson, from Texas, spent £19,000 to bring back a version of her beloved Chai who died at a young age.
But she admitted that while they look the same, cloned cat Belle’s personality is “completely different”.
Kelly insisted to haters that she does in fact also foster cats – and has homed over 100 in the past.
Defending her decision, she told This Morning: “I did adopt one after she passed.
“Because Chai was young, I felt like I didn’t have that time with her, so wanted a piece of her to carry on.
The poor cat was left with an uneven coat[/caption]
He looked ashamed of his new hair do’[/caption]
Elizabeth did leave the edge of his tail alone[/caption]
