In a story that’s recently gone viral, an orange cat has truly mastered the art of the sneaky snack heist, and it’s an Oscar-worthy performance. Posted by Caitlyn Davis, the feline mastermind is seen sprawled out on a table, feigning the deepest of cat naps while ever-so-slowly inching toward a container of forbidden food. The best part? The cat throws in a "just checking" eye flutter before continuing its sly operation and sliding the lid closer like it’s pulling off the snack caper of the century.

The internet couldn’t get enough of the cat’s slow-motion heist. Fans cheered on the crafty kitty’s patience and precision, joking that this sneaky snack attack was nothing short of criminal genius. Though the owner wasn’t fooled by the cat’s catnap caper, we can all agree that such dedication deserves at least one small, well-earned victory bite.

Meet Keanu, a daring feline who traded a life of chaos in a hoarding situation for the sweet thrill of leaping into a volunteer's car and starting a new life. Now, he’s living the dream and is utterly shocked that anyone would dare ask him to leave his lofty throne atop the refrigerator.

Surprise vet bills can certainly bite. But fear not, pet insurance can be your lifeline. Some plans cover major surgeries — which can cost up to $7,000 — so you can afford the best care for your pet. Check out our top-rated pet insurance providers, with some plans offering coverage for just $1 a day, multi-pet coverage, and reimbursement options of up to 90%. With the right coverage, you could keep your pet (and your wallet) happy.

Is your cat giving you the side-eye at dinner time, acting like their kibble is a culinary insult? You’re not alone. Cats have a taste for the finer things in life—like savory, umami flavors—and their sense of smell makes them extra picky about what’s on the menu. Luckily, a team of brave scientists from Northeast Agricultural University and the Shanghai Institute of Technology has set out on a noble quest: to figure out which flavors will finally win over these furry food critics.

Armed with chicken fat, liver compounds, and a panel of ten very discerning cat taste-testers, the researchers discovered that felines go wild for kibble sprayed with flavors that have a savory, fatty punch—think mushroom and chicken-fat heaven. But throw in anything acidic or sweet? Hard pass. With this newfound knowledge, we might just be on the brink of creating the ultimate cat-approved meal. So, if your cat’s been treating their dinner like it’s beneath them, be patient. With these dedicated scientists on the job, your finicky feline might soon start treating mealtime like a Michelin-star event.
