Man finds out that his breathing problems while sleeping are thanks to his cat sitting on his face

You know about the Internet phenomenon of picturing cats sitting on things, right? Well, it’s about to go to a whole new level. Cats sitting on boxes, laptops or whatnot else are a thing for sure, but this cat goes the distance and sits on his owner’s face while he’s asleep. It’s funny and terrifying at the same time since it caused breathing problems for the guy.

For months, Twitter user @stluis_htx has been talking about his weird breathing problems during his sleep. He’s not a smoker nor did he have such problems before. He thought he suffered from sleep apnea, but the truth was something a bit stranger. As it turns out, the obstructions were caused by his cat sleeping on his face overnight!

The guy put a camera in his bedroom to see what happens overnight and he was stunned to see his beloved pet enter the room and settle on his face. The post went instantly viral and is another proof of how weird cats are.

He’s not the only person to have experienced it. Other Twitter users have posted pics of cats sleeping on their faces. It’s funny, yet terrifying at the same time considering the fact that they can block your breathing. But, hey, at least they stop you from snoring, right?

It’s not like they’re trying to suffocate you or anything (probably). They just want to cuddle and it’s so sweet!

Mom Tells Boy He Can Pick Any Animal at Shelter. He Picked This Elderly, Overweight and Shy Cat

One young boy recently was told to pick up any animal in the Canadian region of Exploits Valley. It was reduced to a puppy dog and a cat — his choice, and the internet swooning in the Facebook post.

A young boy in the Canadian area of Exploits Valley was recently told he could pick out any animal he wanted from the shelter. It was narrowed down to a puppy dog and a cat — his choice, and the Facebook post afterward have the internet swooning.
Easton went to the shelter to pick out a new pet — he ended up leaving with giant, orange, elderly cat.
The shelter is called the Exploits Valley SPCA, and they recently took in two cats named Tiny and Trinity. Due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances — their owner needed to drop them off at the shelter so that they could find new homes.
The Exploits Valley SPCA quickly took to Facebook to try and find these two kitty cats a forever home. It was going to be tough, though, because they were a bit older and Tiny was quite large and a bit overweight.
Tiny and his sibling Trinity weren’t bonded, so it was okay if they were adopted into separate homes — it was just a matter of when they’d be chosen.
When Easton walked into the shelter with his mom, he had an instant connection with the huge, orange, senior cat. It was at that moment that it became official — Tiny was going to a new home.
When Easton, his mom, and Tiny were driving back home — Tiny was let out of his cage, and he immediately went to snuggle and bond with his new owner. It was clear that he was incredibly grateful to be heading home with a new family.

Easton’s Mom told him he could adopt a new pet. He had the choice between a puppy dog or a cat. He chose to adopt Tiny, a 10 year old cat who had just lost his home. On the ride home Tiny got out of his cage and cuddled in with his new owner and has been stuck to him ever since. Great job Easton, Tiny is one lucky cat!

Researchers say that liking cats is a sign of very high intelligence

Pets are an absolute blessing for humans. They can cheer you up when you’re feeling sad or come home tired from work. It happens to everyone, but then you open the door and meet that little ball of fur that just emanates love and happiness.

Animals are more intelligent than we think. And I claim that both my dog and my cat realize when I’m happy or sad. That’s how it feels, at least to me. They’re also best friends and seem to understand and care about each other.

However, the question is what does it says about yourself if you are a pet owner. I’ve never really thought about that, I’ll admit – but earlier today I encountered research that shows that most people who like cats, in general, are very intelligent.

Dogs and cats are the most commons animals when it comes to choose a pet. But, the question of which of the two animals you prefer is a real classic. And while most people have an answer to that question. I belong to the few who don’t really know. At home, we have both a dog and a cat – and I could never choose between them.

However, a recent study conducted

by researcher Denise Guastello reveals the differences between the people who like dogs and the people who like cats, according to Unilad.

Psychoanalyst Steve McKeown, who founded both the MindFixers organization and the well-known McKeown Clinic, says:

– The study was conducted on 600 students. It was found that dog people are more social and extroverted whereas cat lovers are more sensitive and open-minded. It also turned out that those who prefer cats are more neurotic.

He continues:

– Furthermore, cat people tend to stand for what they think – no matter what the environment says, which may indicate that they are more independent. The survey also reveals that those who like cats, in general, have a higher intelligence and are more educated. They have a greater chance of completing university studies, says Steve McKeown.

The study states that cats are usually more independent than dogs, which can be a major factor to cat owners having more time available for other things – like studying and working.

Exciting conclusions

The question is now what happens if you love both cats and dogs? The study doesn’t cover it, but you can think that you have both social skills and high intelligence! Jokes aside – This study, of course, has to be taken with a grain of salt. There is clearly no definite truth.

At the same time, I think it’s fascinating and exciting to reach these kinds of conclusions – and in any case, I think this was really fun to know!

Truck Driver Refuses To Let [Cats and Dogs] Drown During Hurricane, Turned Bus Into ‘Noah’s Ark’

His name is Tony Alsup but you could call him Noah.

Instead of an Arc, he drives a bus.
Alsup refuses to see anyone left behind during natural disasters, especially animals.

That’s why the Greenback, Tennesee man transformed a bus into a mobile animal shelter to pick up all the “leftover” pets that animal shelters were unable to place before they evacuated for hurricanes like Florence and Harvey.

He recently travelled from his home in Tennessee to South Carolina to save more than 60 animals during Hurricane Florence, 53 dogs and 11 cats as of Sept. 16, according to The The Washington Post.

Alsup started rescuing animals when Hurricane Harvey hit Texas after seeing reports of animal shelters that were overcrowded.

“I thought, well what can I do?” he said. “I’ll just go buy a bus.”

This way he could transport the animals to shelters that were vacant or had space. He went on to rescue animals during hurricanes Irma and Maria.

During the most recent hurricane, he put out a blast on Facebook asking to be pointed in the direction of where pets needed help most in South Carolina.

“It’s all true. Tony swooped in at 4 a.m.Wednesday morning to pick up our ‘leftovers’ — the dogs with blocky heads, the ones with heartworm,” the Saint Frances Animal Center wrote on Facebook. “The ones no one else will ever take. And he got them to safety. Not the most conventional evacuation, but surely the one with the most heart.”

That’s because when Tony means no one left behind, he means no one.

“It’s so easy for people to adopt the small pets and the cuties and the cuddly,” Alsup told Greenville News. “We take on the ones that deserve a chance even though they are big and a little ugly. But I love big dogs, and we find places for them.”

Once Alsup rescued the dogs from Hurrican Florence, he drove them to his friend’s shelter in Foley, Alabama.

It was there that Angela Eib-Maddux gave them all baths and fluffy blankets.

The animals would stay with EIB-Maddux until she could find shelters for them or foster homes. And all that was done in a day.

Some of the animals were adopted on the spot. Alsup brought other dogs and cats to Knoxville, Tennesee where he handed off about 40 animals to shelters and volunteers.

He rested up a bit and then headed back toward Wilmington, N.C. to save some more.

He wasn’t sure if it was possible for him to get there with all the flooding but he was sure going to try anyway. No one left behind.
