Baby Lions at the Tulsa Zoo

These two baby lions weigh about 15 pounds each -- that's the exact size of my cat, Pimp! One big difference though: These little guys are going to get real, real big. (Pimp is big, too... big pimpin'!)

I love seeing baby zoo animals, and these cuddly cubs are some of the best. Watch out for the belly rubs -- extreme cute!

More great lions, please.

The Best Part of Waking Up... is Folgers on Your Butt!

Good morning from Cute!

I personally need a cup of coffee before I can start my day (Fair warning: Don't talk to me before I have it.), but usually I drink it. Wonder what would happen if I sat on it instead...

Probably not the same.

Pet Tricks: Odie Says "I Love You"

In today's episode of Talking Pets, we feature Odie the pug. (It seems like pugs are finding their way onto the Cute a lot these days, doesn't it?)

Odie loves him momma -- and we love Odie!

Cute Kitten in a Lunch Bag

It's no secret that kittens love bags and boxes, but this kitty is especially cute in his lunch bag. Don't you just want to eat him up?!

Also, it seems like at times he may be trying to have the bag itself for lunch...

Now, a cat in a box, please.

World's Ugliest Dog Winner 2009

The annual World's Ugliest Dog competition was held Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, Calif. Tons of, um, cute contestants competed -- and here are some of the big World's Ugliest Dog winners for 2009.

Honestly, I think the winner is actually really, really cute!

Here's Pabst, a 4-year-old boxer mix -- he was crowned the 2009 World's Ugliest Dog winner!


I think Pabst is smiling in this one...


And this lovely lady down here is Miss Millie. She's a Chinese-crested (they always win... wonder why) who took first place in the Pedigree category. I wonder who does her hair?


What do you think of these World's Ugliest Dog winners? Personally, I love this competition. It's so nice to give these special cuties a chance to shine, too!

Bunny Flight Attendant Instructions

It's summer, so Cute knows a lot of you will be doing some traveling. When you do, please keep these important airplane instructions in mind...

It's way more fun to get them from a bunny than those boring flight attendants, right?

Kitten Drinking From a Bottle

Awww... Look how thirsty this little kitty is, chugging away from her little bottle!

Have you ever seen anything so precious?

Panda Dog?

I know people dye their dogs' hair... I've seen pink poodles before. But this is one of the cutest dye jobs I've ever seen!

I suppose if you can't have a real panda, you can always just make your poodle look like one. Maybe this is a new mix breed: a poodanda!

Remembering Michael Jackson: Cat Does "Thriller" Dance

Today is a crazy day, people. First Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson?! Someone on CNN actually said, "It's like the president died..."

Cute appreciates Michael Jackson's work, even if he was a weirdo. And today we remember him in the only way Cute knows how, with a cute video.

Check Out This Cool Meowhawk!

Sure, you see mohawks everywhere -- even Angelina Jolie's kid sported one -- but have you ever seen a meowhawk? Didn't think so.

Lucky for you Cute spotted one! Here's our Twitter pal @toby_cat looking all cool in his spiky 'do!


Thanks to our other Twitter pal, @CircusKitty for sending the cute pic our way!

(You'll remember her because she's the star of our Driving Miss Kitty post!)

Meet Derby the Pygmy Goat

This is Derby. Derby likes to jump. She jumps on boxes. She jumps on bags. She jumps on garbage cans and feet and all by herself in the air -- she's a bouncing bundle of cute!

Derby lost her mommy when she was only one day old, and this woman is raising her to be big and healthy and strong. Yay, Derby!

More little goats, please.

Precious Pug Pushing a Stroller

So, your child has a "baby" -- why not your dog, too? He can feed his baby, sleep with his baby... even take his baby for walks in a baby stroller!

I mean, seriously. How cute is it that these people taught their pug to do this? I only wish I could see him walking down the street with his stroller in person!

More cute puggies, please.

Pimp Picks the Winner of the Snuggles Giveaway! (drumroll please...)

Attention Cuteheads! My cat, Pimp, just picked the winner of our latest giveaway!

As usual, we used the very scientific method involving Pimp and his favorite treats, Greenies. This time we cut out all the comments and laid them side by side (in no particular order). Everybody got a Greenie on their name.

Then, we unleash Pimp (this is the tamest unleash you'll ever see... don't laugh at him!), and whoever's Greenie he noms first is the winner!

The lucky person wins Snuggles, a handcrafted, genuine Italian, super plush, cute stuffed doggie (worth $109!) -- courtesy of CatsPlay.com! We named his Snuggles, but of course his new owner can rename him.

Are you ready to see who wins? OK, Pimp... let's go!

Congrats to the winner... Tia (@xerulean) whose favorite Your Daily Cute post is the Cat in the Box!

Didn't win? Oh, boo... Too bad we could only have one winner! Why not trot on over to CatsPlay.com and see what else they've got going on over there? They've got tons of cat toys, furniture, collars... you name it! It's not Snuggles, but Cute thinks you'll find something you like. :)

Mommy Duck and 12 Baby Duckies

Happy first day of summer, everyone! To celebrate, Cute's got some cute baby duckies for you (Hey, these ain't no spring chickens, OK?)

See how Mommy Ducky walks along with her 12 fuzzy ducklings. Nothing like a nice stroll through the garden on a nice summer day...

More fuzzy duckies, please.

A Whole Herd of Cow Cats!

I'm partial to cow cats (My Moo is one, these best one.), so it's no surprise that this video caught me eye.

What I was surprised about, though, is how many of them there are! I can't really tell if this is a house or a farm with all these spotted things around. And the pile of them is too cute for words...

Pug vs. Laser Pointer

Now, I knew that kitties like laser pointers (I mean, that crazy red dot -- don't want to give the secret away here!), but I didn't know that doggies were laser-lovers too...

This pug (His name is Dude! How fun is that?!), though, is cuckoo for his!

Then, now about a moonwalking pug, please.

How Cats Get High on Catnip

There's something about catnip that is completely irresistible to cats -- bring home a catnip toy layered in three grocery bags, and they'll still know it's in there. And once they get a good whiff of it...

Do not get between a cat and his nip!

A Day in the Life of a Floofy Puppy

What a cute puffball of a puppy this is! This video is a roundup of a bunch of precious moments... My favorite is bath time (How does he just lay there?! So cute!)

Enjoy! And don't forget to enter Cute's latest doggie giveaway!

This Monkey's Got the Sneezes!

Not sure exactly why I think this sneezing monkey is so funny... maybe it's just the randomness of it.

Anybody got a hanky for this little guy? Or maybe someone could teach this sneezing monkey some manners and tell him to cover his mouth! :)

More monkey business, please.

Kitteh Haz a Wedgie

Ahhh! The wedgie monster strikes again!

More funny lolcats, please.

Kitty Exercise Wheel

I'm thinking these bengal cats think they're hamsters...

What a great kitty exercise machine, though! I love how they take turns jumping on and booting each other off -- reminds me of jumping rope Double Dutch.

Then, how about some fat cat exercises, please.

Otter Plays the Piano!

First there was Nora, the piano-playing cat... now here's Dua -- a talented otter that plays the keyboard!

The nice people at the Monteray Bay Aquarium in California taught Dua this cute musical skill to give him different and interesting to do, and also make his feeding time a little more fun!

And now, without further ado... Here's Dua!

Cute Dog Expressions (15 cute pictures!)

Got this in an email today and had to share! These doggies are making some of the cutest faces I've ever seen! (Click on any of the pictures to biggify them.)

Do you have a cute doggie picture? Email it to me at dorian at yourdailycute dot com and you could be on the Cute!

















Attention doggies and doggie-lovers! Cute has a giveaway contest just for YOU! Click here to see what we're giving away!

Cat in a Suitcase

This cat in a suitcase is a lot like a Jack in the box!

Any cat owner who's ever tried to pack know the cat WILL go in the suitcase. It's mandatory. I'm pretty sure it's written in the Rules of Cat somewhere.

And then it just gets even cuter when he does the Jack in the box thing...

Helmets on for Safety! (even if you're a doggie...)

We all know you're supposed to wear a helmet before hopping on your bike or motorcycle... but did you know they make helmets for dogs, too?!

Until seeing this cute Welsh Corgi sporting his helmet in the video below, I never knew they made dog helmets! What a great idea -- cute and protective at the same time!

More animal hats, please.

You Know You're a Cat Person When...

<< #2 Cat | #4 Cat >>

Sometimes you just find one of these LOLcat things that really hits home...

More cute LOLcats, please.


Thanks to our Twitter pal @grpetsupply for pointing this one out!

Meow-Meow Massage Special!

Thinking about spending a bunch of money on a professional massage at a spa?

No need! Simply find your nearest kitty and let him go to work. Purr vibration for deep tissue treatment bonus at no additional charge!

More kitty massages, please.

Moo Eats Lying Down

You've meet my cat Moo before. Well, here he is again in another starring role on the Cute... showing of his eating skills -- again. (For his last eating trick, see here.)

His only two jobs around here are eating and sleeping -- not much to ask, right? And yet, here he is lying down on the job! I'll have to talk to that (cute) slacker.

More Moo, please.

Driving Miss Kitty?

Annabelle loves baskets -- so why not go for a bike ride in one?

Personally, both of my two cats would jump right out of that thing and dart off, but Annabelle looks so relaxed and calm about the whole thing. I don't think she's sure yet that she likes it, but she doesn't not like it either...

(Oh, and the music in the background is perfect!)

Squirrel and His Smurf House

This little rock squirrel has a cuter, comfier house than most of the kitties and doggies I know!

It kind of reminds me of one of the houses from The Smurfs -- remember them? It's the smurfiest!



Here's a Smurf house for comparison... It does look like it, right?

Cat Evicts Doggie

You can't come in, I say! No... no doggies allowed!

(Not that I think that dog could ever possibly get his whole self through that cat door -- I'm not even sure he how got his head in! -- but this kitty sure is determined to keep him out...)

And stay out!

3-Week Old Beagle's Squeaky Howl

Ah-ooooh! Ah-ooooh!

As a follow-up to this morning's Kitten Meowing Like a Sheep, here's a baby puppy trying his hardest to make big sounds, too...

This little guy is trying to squeak out the biggest howl he can. He seems to have a pretty good coach, so he should be a howling machine in no time at all!

Kitty Meows Like a Sheep (you'll see!)

As soon as this little kitty let out his first little mew, I let out a huge awwww. Out loud. To myself. Couldn't help it, and I'm pretty sure I awwwwed at least three more times before the video was over.

What a sweet little meow! He sounds like a sheep, doesn't he?

More cute meows, please.

Scandal in the Cat House?

Uh oh. Someone's been a bad kitty...

More bad cats, please.

Boing Boing Bouncing Doggie

The wonderful thing about doggies
Is doggies are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about doggies is
I'm the only one!

Remember the Tigger song from Winnie the Pooh? I may have taken a few "Cute" liberties with the lyrics up there... ;)

More bouncy doggies, please.

More Kitties at the Door!

Yesterday I posted the door-knocking kitty. Today we have another kitty at the door... but this one gets a little help from his friend.

Oh hai, kitty. Come on in!

Top 10 Cute Cat Video Moments

A sweet round-up of some of the Top 10 Cute Cat Videos -- all in one glorious compilation!

I can't even pick which one is my favorite... #4 The Talking Cats is a super classic, but #6 The Techno Kitties is super cute too...

(And here's a link to the translated version of the talking cats video! It's great, too!)

Kitty Knocking on the Door... with the Door Knocker!

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Kitty.
Kitty who?
Are you kitty me?! Let me in already!

Who needs a cat door when you can just teach your cat to knock when he's ready to come in? Brilliant (and oh so cute...)!

Baby Leopard, Baby Rarr...

This little baby leopard was being raised by a woman for a wildlife rescue in Zimbabwe.

Listen to his cute little leopard rarr... He's still learning. :)

More baby big cats, please.

An Engineer's Guide to Cat Yodeling (with cat polka!)

From the same people who brought us the brilliant An Engineer's Guide to Cats video, here's their latest -- a how-to guide to cat yodeling.

Cat yodeling is apparently very tricky, but if you follow these two crazy guys' guide, your cat can be an expurrt yodeler!

Ginger Kitty Plays Patty Cake

Pretty sure this is the cat version of Patty Cake. Either that or some kind of hokey pokey -- you put your right paw up, you put your right paw down...

Either way, looks like a fun game!

Funny Cat Squishes His Face in a Water Glass

Not satisfied with just lapping a few drops off his paws, this kitty goes for broke -- and I'm surprised the glass isn't broken after his amazingly squishy attempt.

My cats like to drink the water from my glass, but this is something else!

More smooshy faces, please.

Do the Hustle -- Kitty Dance Party!

It's like Soul Train, but for kitties!

These two crazy cats have all the moves to make the ladies swoon. Forget two-steppin'... these funky felines are four-steppin'!

(Note from Cute: The first 20 seconds are a little dull, but don't give up -- it gets good!)

More dancing kitties, please.

Kitty on the Hunt (with extreme closeup!)

Oh, how I love extreme closeups of extremely cute animals! Extreme closeup = on Your Daily Cute for sure!

This latest one is suuuuper cute -- a kitty on hunt. Somehow, his human gets him to hunt the camera lens... so he's sniffing your computer screen! So cute! Enjoy.

Shameless Use of a Cute Puppy to Get Views? OK.

There's a new show starting tonight, and apparently the PR person for them is passing this video around, asking all the "cute" blogs to post it to get the word out. It's not a bad trick...

You see, there's a cute puppy in the video, and you know how we feel about cute puppies (more, more, more!). So, you want us to post the video for you? OK, we'll buy it. The cute doggie deserves the attention. :)

Tosh.0 and the Cutest Puppy EVER!
Uploaded by wiredset. - See more comedy videos.

The show is Tosh.0, and it's on Comedy Central tonight at 10pm EST if you want to see, presumably, more cute puppies. It's a show about the Internet, fun blogs, sites and more. We'll see how it goes.

Lab Walking his Mini Dashchund Buddy

We've seen dogs walking dogs before, but this one is super cute!

First of all, it's a miniature dachshund, and we all KNOW how much I want one. Second, this lab is really walking his little buddy -- when he stops, his buddy stops. When he walks, they start walking again.

What a good doggie walker he is!

Are These Gorillas Flirting?

A couple days ago, Cute showed you some cute penguins smooching. Today, we've got an even bigger love story... gorillas!

These two are very flirtatious -- a little *wink* action, some manly posing, possibly a shy sideways glance from the (lovely?) lady... Rarrr, indeed.

Persian and a Parakeet are BFF!

This floofy Persian kitty and spunky parakeet have an unlikely little bond... they're the best of friends!

No one ever told the kitty that she's supposed to want to chase and eat the birdie, but let's keep it that way! It's way cuter to see them sleeping and cuddling with each other anyway... Aww!

More kitties lovin' birdies, please.

Forget Coins in the Couch... I Found a Kitty!

For my next trick, I'll make this cute kitty disappear. On the count of three...

1... 2... (squeeeeeeze) 3... Tada!

And now I'll make him reappear...

Thanks for Entering!

Thank you for entering Your Daily Cute's camo cat collar contest! Winner will be chosen on Thursday, July 30.

Good luck!

The Dog Ate My Bills

Ooh! Ooh! The mailman's coming! The mailman's coming! Yippee skippee yummy mail!

At least if this person is ever late paying their bills, they can have a halfway decent excuse -- the dog at their bills. Eating homework was so last decade...

More jumpy doggies, please.

Kitty Defends His Melon

That is MY melon! You don't take it from me, you let me eat it all up and you don't interrupt me while I'm nomming it! MY melon!

Oh, and you don't put a pencil or any fingers in my face while I'm trying to enjoy MY melon. It's delicious, and I'm going to eat it all up -- no matter what pokey, bothery thing you stick in my way...

More kitty food fight, please.
