Meanwhile, in Mother Russia...

What does your dog fetch? Your slippers? The newspaper? Big whoop. That's bush league tricks. Why doesn't your dog fetch your drinks for you? Not to play into stereotypes, but these rugged Ruskies don't mess around on their hunting trips. We're sure that dog is great at fetching ducks or whatever game its master is hunting, but it has a more important job to do, namely keeping him warm with their country's signature spirit. Don't forget the vermouth, Fido.

Baby Owl Head Scratch

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Birds, Funny Animal Videos

Sometimes owls can be very frightening. Expert hunters, they can seem to peer into your soul with their steely gaze. With their sharp talons and all-around intimidating style, they're not always the friendliest-looking birds around.

But every once in a while, an owl lets its guard down. Every once in a while, an owl needs an old-school headscratch, and you're the only one around--you and your magic fingers. And the owl tells you, "I'm going to put away my intimidation act for a minute, and you and I are going to share the cutest experience that will ever happen to you."

Blind Kitten Plays With Toys for the First Time

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Cats, Funny Animal Videos

Here at Paw Nation, we have a special soft spot for blind cats. You may remember a video we shared last month of Oskar, a blind 5-month-old cat playing with a hair dryer. This is another, even more adorable video of Oskar--only 2 months old here--playing with his very first toys, a couple of balls with bells in them. The sound of the bells allows Oskar to play just as well as other cats. You can see his initial bewilderment grow into curiosity and then active joy as he discovers how to have fun with his new toys.

Safety First on Thanksgiving

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Dogs, Pet Health, Funny Animal Pictures

Here's a friendly reminder from Redditor Guatemeha and his/her dogs.

"Be careful what table scraps you give to your dog this Thanksgiving," says the pertinent sign in the photo. "Many are toxic to dogs. Do your research, and no turkey bones!"

That's important not just for you to remember, but your guests too. While much or most of the food on your holiday table might be OK for pets to eat, your guests might not know which are safe and which are toxic. Make sure that you (politely) instruct your family and/or friends not to slip treats to your furry ones under the table on Thursday. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry!

There's still an entire year left in America's ever-lengthening election "season." If you're feeling burned out and a little underwhelmed by your options, maybe it's time to think about a third party. Or better yet, how about a... furred party??

Keyboard Cat 2012! Let's all unite behind a write-in candidate and have our favorite feline pianist play off all of those dreary suit-and-tie politicians. Even if he doesn't win next year's election for President of the United States, he's a shoe-in for President of Paw Nation.

Shelter Pet Project Ad – “Sandbox”

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Cats, Pet Adoption, Funny Animal Videos

Even to veteran cat owners, cats can seem mysterious at times. But did you ever stop to consider that they find us just as confounding? Cats, despite moments of weirdness, are fairly predictable in their behavior, but we must seem bananas to them. This new spot by the Shelter Pet Project a a "public service ad campaign focused on spreading the word that pets in shelters are wonderful and lovable," posits just one example.

Ninja Cat Attacks from the Shadows

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Cats, Funny Animal Videos

I've often said (in life, if not here on Paw Nation) that cats are nature's ninjas. With all of the countless hours of viral videos depicting them as cute and/or goofy, it's easy to forget that cats are also natural born killing machines, the stealthiest, deadliest hunters in the animal kingdom. And when we forget that, sometimes the cats need to take it upon themselves to remind us.

Zootoo Review – 5 Pet Products to Be Thankful For

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Dogs, Cats, Pet Product Reviews

As Thanksgiving Day approaches, pet owners may be feeling more grateful than ever for the companionship and love of their four-legged friends - and they may also be feeling grateful for certain products that make pet ownership cleaner, and more convenient.

While each individual may have different opinions about which accessory is indispensable to having a pet, a few products rise to the top in making everyday life with our furry family members easier. In celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite pet products to be thankful for.

Getting rid of that dreaded cat pee smell can be quite a challenge. So feline owners can be thankful for the Natural Cat Litter Deodorizer from Planet Petco, which tackles unpleasant odors at the source. In addition to prolonging the lifespan of cat litter - another aspect of the product that may inspire gratitude - the non-toxic formula of the deodorizer features the naturally occurring mineral Zeolite to fight unwanted smells.


Dog owners who want to indulge their pets with healthy treats can give thanks for Dog Joy Treats from Freshpet. Made with real meat, these irresistible snacks help to promote wellness with a top-quality, all-natural ingredient list. The morsels, which can be broken into smaller pieces, are ideal for training sessions, and our tester canines devoured the texture and taste of the treats.


If you have a senior cat in your family, both you and your feline may be grateful for the Thermal Cat Mat from Slumber Pet. This luxurious mat reflects your pet's own body heat (a claim that was tested and verified by both human and feline reviewers), so you don't have to worry about batteries or electric cords. And the machine-washable mat can help to provide relief from arthritis or joint pain.


Most dog owners are thankful for any product that makes grooming less of a hassle, such as the Zoom Groom Brush from Kong. Ideal for both long and short coats, this easy-to-grip rubber brush is both durable and effective at ridding coats of loose hair. And the soft rounded bristles give canines the feeling that they're being massaged instead of brushed - a special bonus that skittish dogs will be thankful for as well.


Whether your cat's breath is mildly disconcerting or fully corrosive, you might be thankful for Breathies Cat Treats from Catswell. These nutrient-packed snacks feature an all-natural formula using ingredients such as rosemary, mint, and cinnamon bark to help keep your kitty's breath fresh. And our tester felines flipped for the flavor of these protein-rich treats.

Camel Race

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Exotic Pets, Funny Animal Videos

Before you watch this video, take a moment to realize that you've never seen a camel run before. Now try to imagine how a camel runs. Try to picture how it might look. Now forget it, because there's simply no way you could guess that any living creature would actually run the way this camel does.

And it's not as if this is the camel's first time taking off at top speed. "Nessie and I have been doing this since she was a couple weeks old," says her owner. It's cute and all, but what we really want to see is someone riding Nessie when she gallops along like that.
