Simon The Pit Bull Has Amazing Eyebrows And An Important Message

It isn't unusual for perfect strangers to ask if Simon the pit bull-boxer mix came by his amazing eyebrows by unnatural means.

"During a visit to the vet with him, I was waiting to be brought back to the exam room with him. A lady walked in from outside, looked at him, stopped in her tracks, looked at me, back at him and said, 'Did you put those on him?,'" says Simon's owner, Stephanie Williams. "I felt like saying, 'That's why we're here; they won't come off.'"

Unlike Dogs, Are Not Small Furry Humans And Do Not Like To Be Petted

“Being held or stroked for too long can be very stressful for some cats,” Cats Protection behavior manager Nicky Trevorrow said. "Space and peace is often what they need. They are not small furry humans."

Those results echoed findings published last year by British researchers that found that cats in homes with multiple felines will often arrange their behavior so as to avoid each other.

However, that study also suggested that cats who live in multi-cat homes are probably more tolerant of petting.

Also, if you die alone in your house, your cat might eat you.

Just get a dog already.

Not convinced? Here a few more reasons why your cat is evil.

Shark Vs Shark: Giant Great White Attacks Another Great White

A vicious great white shark bursts from the water to rip into another shark.

The sensational moment was caught on camera by Adam Malski, 33, as the fish proved why it has the reputation of the ocean’s most fearsome predator.

The 4.8m shark, named ‘Gilbert’attacked the rival fish 50 miles from Australia’s shore. The larger animal survived the encounter but the smaller shark has not been sighted since.  Isn’t this incredible?

Florida Cat Receives Life-Saving Blood Transfusion From Dog

Who says cats and dogs don't mix?

A Florida Keys cat is back on its paws after receiving a life-saving blood transfusion from a dog.

Buttercup underwent the risky operation at Marathon Veterinary Hospital after vets warned it would take too long to ship cat blood over from the mainland.

The anemic orange tabby, found to have a 7% rather than the usual 35% red blood cell-count, received the so-called xenotransfusion on Sept. 16.

The 4-hour procedure, which has been carried out on just 62 cats in the U.S., saw blood from a West Palm Beach dog blood bank infused into the pained cat.

Trixie and Texas: Black Labs Found at Landfill - Looking for Their Forever Home, As Time is Running Out

In Orangeburg County Animal Control and Shelter in South Carolina, all of the kennels are full. Trixie and Texas were both picked up as strays a few days ago at a local landfill; no one even knows if they are related, but volunteers provide the following heart-wrenching information about these two black Labrador retrievers:

"We don't know if this is even the mama to this little guy. They were both found at the land fill. He cowers behind her...like she is his protector. Both of these are beautiful dogs. She is really friendly. Texas is still a little scared but certainly is handsome."

The kennels at Orangeburg County Animal Control are currently being occupied by dogs involved in court cases; therefore because of lack of space, strays and surrendered dogs are only allowed the minimum time limits before they are euthanized.

Man Accused of Starving Dog Faces Charge of Aggravated Animal Cruelty

According to Friday's My News 13, a man near Winter Park, Florida, is facing a charge of aggravated animal cruelty for allegedly starving a pit bull.

An emaciated dog named "Zola," was rescued from 22-year-old Aaron Dennis' apartment on Thursday; authorities noted that the home was covered in urine and feces and the skeletal dog was unable to stand when they arrived. According to the Orlando Sentinel, a concerned neighbor contacted the authorities to report that a dog had been abandoned in Dennis' apartment.

Dennis told investigators that he had been out of town for a few days and did not know that the dog was sick.

Zola is currently in the custody of Orange County Animal Services and her prognosis for survival is unknown. Dennis was booked into jail.
