Cheetah Births Five Tiny Cubs
images via : youtube.com
When practically any wild animal gives birth, they are extremely protective of their newborn babies. Mothers are renowned for going above and beyond to keep their little ones safe and cheetahs are no different. When Milani, a cheetah at the Metro Richmond Zoo in Virginia, gave birth to five tiny cubs, all of her caretakers were on high alert. This is her story.
Milani was a first time mother and had been through a lot in her three years on Earth. Born in Namibia, she had been captured by poachers who planned to sell her in the illegal exotic animal trade. Thankfully, she was rescued before they could profit off of her misfortune and sent to the Metro Richmond Zoo for rehabilitation. The zoo is known world-wide for their cheetah conservation and research center, where teams of experts collaborate to focus on maintaining the health, population numbers, and overall well-being of cheetahs. Through the center’s work, the number of cheetahs has recovered from all-time lows after dropping 90% and stabilized. However, it took years to accomplish this and back when Milani arrived at the center, the situation was still dire.
Milani was healthy and in the prime of her life, so the conservation center was eager for her to have cubs with one of the six male cheetahs who lived alongside her. However, she showed little to no interest in any of them and was more of a loner who preferred to explore and be on her own. Despite the expert’s best efforts, she shunned all her male suitors, until a new cheetah named Beau arrived. Beau was also from Namibia, and it was believed that Milani knew him from her time in the wild. When they were introduced to one another, it became clear that she liked him as she accepted him into her territory and even rubbed up against him! Her caretakers were ecstatic at the development and waited to see if the pair would mate.
It didn’t take long before Milani’s stomach started to grow, and an ultrasound confirmed that she was carrying five cubs. The elation at this news was soon replaced by worry and fear because Milani had suffered from a large wound to her tummy when she was in captivity that ran down her chest. She likely had internal damage from this and as her cubs grew, they pressed up against her intestines interfering with their function and making for a risky and difficult pregnancy. At this point in time, the cheetah population was at record lows and so a decision was made to see out her pregnancy despite the risks involved.
Now heavily pregnant, Milani was moved into a special enclosure where she was monitored 24/7 by experts. Despite all the care she received, she slowly grew weaker and at times even refused to eat anything. Her attitude changed as well, she became much more aggressive, weary, and seemed on edge, even charging at a zookeeper who went to feed her on one occasion. This led to her being classified as a high risk animal who had to be handled with added caution. It also meant caring for her was going to be much harder, as what little trust she had towards humans seemed to be rapidly dwindling.
The more pregnant she grew, the more nervous she became, and special arrangements were made to keep her as relaxed and happy as possible. A small wooden enclosure was built in her area, giving her a comfy, dark, safe space to give birth in. Just days later Milani began having contractions and silently entered the box, with experts watching over her from a live video feed. The birth of her cubs was long and stressful, but she came through it with all five cubs being born.
The moment everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived and now they had to check on the cubs and Milani. A young vet who had a good relationship with Milani was chosen to enter the enclosure and he was extremely nervous about what might happen. There was no way of knowing how she’d react to someone approaching her newborn cubs while she was in such a vulnerable state. The vet slowly made his way towards her and surprisingly Milani rolled over, showed him her cubs, and allowed him to handle and inspect them.
Once he’d checked on Milani, who appeared healthy yet obviously exhausted, he began running tests on each cub checking their vitals, weight, and eyes. When he got to the fifth born cub, he could tell it wasn’t ok, it had a larger than usual head and wasn’t a heathy weight. He left them to rest, and later tests confirmed it suffered from a birth defect, but soon afterwards the cub began having trouble breathing. Not wasting any time, the young vet went back into the enclosure and scooped up the baby, rushing it to an adjoining medical tent. The cub was fading rapidly and despite all possible measures that were taken, its prognosis was dire. The defects were too severe, it was suffering, there was simply no way it would have a normal healthy life, and a decision was made to humanely euthanize it.
Thankfully, Milani and her other four cubs were healthy. She turned out to be a great mother and her cubs grew up quickly. She even started to trust some of the zookeepers, bonding and growing close with the one who first checked on her cubs. Three years later, it turned out she was pregnant again!
For her second pregnancy, she was one of three cheetahs at the center who were pregnant. Two others, Vaila and Waiy, were first time mothers and Vaila was turning out to be aggressive towards her keepers as her pregnancy progressed. Being the oldest and largest female, Milani demanded respect and used it to help out the zookeepers. When Vaila acted out and snarled menacingly at a vet, Milani loudly yelped, bared her teeth, and put the younger cheetah in her place.
Other more pressing issues faced the vets, as they needed to prepare for the 3 births and more than 10 expected cubs. Enclosures had to be built, surveillance set up, checkups performed, and round the clock monitoring was put in place. The vet who had first approached Milani after she gave birth was in charge and was personally overseeing Vaila because she was expecting seven cubs, making her the most at risk.
Over eleven days, the teams oversaw the birth of thirteen cubs. Milani had 3, Waiy had 5, and Vaila had 5 that survived. Sadly, Vaila ended up losing two cubs to similar breathing problems that Milani’s cub had suffered from. These new additions are crucial to cheetah recovery, as only some 7,500 remain in the wild. The greater genetic diversity, the healthier the numbers will be. Not to mention all the publicity that the thirteen baby cheetah cubs brought to the conservation program, enabling their efforts to grow and continue on.
In the past 10 years, over 90 cheetah cubs have been born at the center. This led to the change from their designation as endangered to vulnerable, so there are still a lot of pressing issues facing them. However, their recovery can be attributed in major part thanks to Milani and her cubs.

Vinegar is arguably one of the most useful substances on the planet, at least when it comes to making life in your home easier, less expensive and safer! Why use nasty chemicals that cost an arm and a leg when you can use something that has been proven by time and countless mothers and grandmothers? I personally use vinegar for more things than I can count, and I have known about the wonderful liquid since before I can remember because my mom used it for literally everything. We are going to thoroughly run through some of the best little known vinegar life hacks that will make your life so much easier.
Is your drain clogged? Try pouring baking soda, followed by vinegar, down the drain and watch the magic. Something gooey sticking to your wall? Grab the vinegar and give it a squirt, then easily wipe it away.
Does your trash can smell like garbage, even when it’s empty? Soak a piece of bread in vinegar and leave it in the garbage can overnight, and voila, no more stank. It can also be used as an all-purpose cleaner: just fill up a spray bottle with one third vinegar and two thirds water.
Too many fruit flies? Fill a glass with apple cider vinegar, cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes. The flies enter, but cannot escape. It can even be used to straighten clothes if an iron isn’t available. A few other uses include keeping cats off the furniture, helping cut flowers stay fresh longer, getting tough stains out of pots and pans and cleaning glasses for a smudge-free sheen. Let us know what you think in the comments.

This video, from YouTube channel Outdoors and Gear Review highlights a helpful trick for dealing with a common and difficult problem you’re likely to encounter when tidying and cleaning your bathroom up; hard water deposits and stains.
Hard water can be a real pain in the neck and the nasty looking stains and blemishes that it leaves behind on bathroom and kitchen surfaces can be extremely hard to fully remove. The ugly spots and stains are caused by water that contains large amounts of minerals such as limestone, calcium, and magnesium.
These metals and minerals are naturally occurring, most often in areas with low water tables and mountainous regions, and water that contains them is perfectly safe to use and drink. The biggest downside to it is the crusty, whitish colored mineral deposits and stubborn stains it leaves behind. Over time these gradually build up on stuff, especially faucets and shower heads.
Many people struggle to remove these stains and often think that they need strong, harsh chemical cleaners to get rid of them effectively. However, there’s a better and more affordable way to go about cleaning a shower head with crusted on mineral build up. All you need is apple cider vinegar, a Ziploc bag, and a rubber band.
Simply pour some apple cider vinegar into the plastic bag and place it over and on the shower head. Use a rubber band to secure it in place and then leave it on overnight. Remove the baggy the following day, wipe the shower head clean, and it should be restored to its former glory!
Check out the video for more information and to see just how shiny and spotless looking it turns out. This may be the fastest, easiest, and most natural way to clean hard water stains. It requires minimal effort or exertion on your part so try it the next time you’re stuck cleaning the house!

Check out These 5 Awesome Vaseline Life Hacks Everyone Should Know:
image via – facebook.com
While you may only think of Vaseline as an integral part of your grandmother’s home remedies and go to solutions, it actually really is a product that can seemingly do it all. People use the petroleum based, gooey, slippery substance for all sorts of things. There are countless household and beauty tricks that involve it, whether it’s loosening stuff up or smearing some on minor cuts and burns to help them heal. This article and video focuses on several beauty related uses for the product that may prove useful and come in handy, and will definitely save you time and money.
If you love to paint your nails then you likely have encountered polish bottles with their tops stuck on them. It takes almost superhuman strength to loosen and get them them of when they dry on and stick like that. To prevent this, take a cotton swab and dab some Vaseline around the base of the bottle opening and on the threads where the cap twists on, now it won’t stick the next time you go to open it.
Another nail polish trick is to coat the skin around your nails with some Vaseline before painting them. This will keep the polish from sticking to your skin, cut down on the clean up, and make your paint job look all the more professional.
If you have rough, dry skin on your feet rub a little Vaseline on them before you go to bed. Slather some all over your feet, then put on a pair of socks, and wake up to smooth soft skin. For those of us with sensitive ears that act up and become sore when wearing earrings, try rubbing Vaseline on the metal stud part that goes through your ear.
By coats the earring it helps them slide through and lessens any negative reaction or sensitivity you may have. If the scent of your perfume disappears way too quickly take some Vaseline, apply a thin coat to the area where you plan to spritz it on, then spray the perfume over that area. This works great at holding the fragrance and makes it last much more longer, plus it won’t alter the perfume’s scent.
If you haven’t already, toss a small jar of the wonder product in your bag so it’s always on hand close by. Use it to touch up makeup, soften rough skin, loosen stuck tops and lids, or as a lip gloss/chap-stick stand in when you inevitably lose or misplace them.
Besides being versatile, it’s also widely available and can be found in practically any pharmacy, health, convenience or grocery store around the world. Best of all, Vaseline is relatively cheap and costs only a few dollars, with a jar of it easily lasting a year or two before running out. With Vaseline, the possibilities may just be endless!

The Next Batch of Life Hacks are some incredibly useful winter life hacks that will make your life so much easier this winter:
image via : shutterstock.com
Along with the cold weather, there are a number of special challenges that winter brings along with it, and we all have to just deal with them! Dry skin, chapped lips, stuffy noses, darkness at 4PM, winter storms, the list goes on and on. One of the most annoying things by far is clearing walkways and driveways of snow and ice. The same goes for cars, but while you can often drive through a little bit of snow, you can’t with an ice-covered windshield. Not only is it illegal to drive with an obstructed view, it’s also insanely dumb and extremely dangerous!
While defrosting the car and scraping ice off the windshield seems like a necessary evil, it doesn’t have to be. You really don’t need to wake up extra early just to stumble around in the freezing cold darkness so that you can drive to work. Instead, you can save yourself some time and energy by doing the following:
In a spray bottle container mix together 2 parts isopropyl alcohol with 1 part water and then add in 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. Shake it up, spray it directly onto an icy windshield, and watch the ice literally melt away right before your very eyes!
This rubbing alcohol spray is the perfect thing to have on hand for freezing cold mornings and icy windshields. You can leave the bottle in your car and it won’t even freeze, unless it gets well under zero. That’s because the freezing point of isopropyl alcohol is -128.2 degrees Fahrenheit, so when you spray it on the ice, it doesn’t freeze up. Instead, it helps to melt the ice and keeps it from re-freezing. Since all you have to do is mist it on, it’s by far the quickest and easiest way to clear a windshield that’s coated with a thick layer of ice.
Don’t forget to check out the video to see exactly how well this works in action and be sure to pass it along to those who could use the smart tip. If it can make someone’s life a little bit easier this winter, then it’s worth it!
This is super helpful for those rough winter months.

Winter is tough. Along with the cold, dry weather comes a number of challenges that we all have to deal with. Cars need to be cleared of snow and ice and the same goes for walkways and driveways. Traveling often becomes way more difficult than usual and to top it off our health also takes a tumble for the worse.
Many of us are plagued by dry itchy skin, sore chapped lips, and stuffy noses that just won’t go away. These things quickly add up and can make it seem like winter is dragging on forever, especially when problems pop up outside on top of the health issues we may be facing.
Which is why these simple winter hacks, covered by the Millennial Moms YouTube channel, are perfect for right now. The video features some of the most clever ways to solve common winter woes and it might offer a solution to a problem you’re currently dealing with. These are some of the best hacks shown in the clip, but there are a total of fifteen, so be sure to check it out for all of the rest.
1) Winterize Boots- This trick does the job to keep feet warm and dry inside of boots that aren’t waterproof. After putting on your socks take two large plastic Ziploc bags and stick a foot in each. Grab a couple of rubber bands and slide them on over the bag to secure it in place and seal the top off around your leg. Pull on your boots and say goodbye to cold, wet feet.
2) Prevent Static Build Up In Hair- Pull a dryer sheet on over the bristles of your hair brush so that they poke through. Brush your hair as normal to eliminate the static, plus it’ll smell clean and great.
3) DIY Boot Inserts- Maintain the shape of tall boots by cutting a foam pool noodle into thirds or fourths, then stick a piece in each boot and they’ll stay upright, making them easier to organize and wear later on.
4) Stop Wipers From Freezing to a Car Windshield- Take an old pair of long cotton socks and slide them over each wiper, puling it down as far as it can go or reaches. This will prevent wipers from freezing and/or sticking to the windshield, and makes life all the more easier.
5) Organize Winter Gear- Hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, hand warmers, neck warmers and all other winter accessories can be neatly stored in one accessible place with a shoe organizer. Hang it over a door and never search for lost gloves again.
6) Windshield Treatment- This one is the best! A combination of vinegar and water works wonders at preventing frost and ice from building up on car windshields and windows. Mix the two liquids up in a spray bottle, spritz it on car windows, then wipe off with a soft cloth.
7) Boot Tray- Keep floors safe, clean, and dry by making your own boot tray. This one is much more appealing than commercially available ones and works even better. Fill a large metal cookie sheet with a layer of decorative rocks and put it near the door so that when people enter they can immediately place wet boots on the rocks. The water will drip through the rocks to the bottom and soon evaporate. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the tips covered in the clip and be sure to pass it along to those who could use these smart hacks to make their own lives easier.

Clean air vents with small foam brushes. They can easily fit in even the smallest vents and pick up all the dirt and dust inside them.

Get streak free windows by cleaning them with newspaper. It’s the cloths and paper towels that leave streaks when you clean your windows so don’t even bother using them. Instead, spray down the window with cleaner and wipe it off with a piece of newspaper as you normally would.

Watch This Kitty Have His Daily Morning Conversation With This Baby.
image via : youtube.com
Babies love to babble and make adorable noises. What, if anything, they may be trying to actually say is anyone’s guess because the sounds that come out of them are usually impossible to understand! In a similar sense the same goes for cats and the different meows, growls, purrs, and chirps they make. There’s no real way to truly interpret the meanings behind them. But that won’t stop us from trying and continue to talk to all of our pets and in turn have them talk to us. There is an amazing bond between humans and their pets even if they can’t understand exactly what they are trying to say respectfully..
While grown ups may be in the dark when it comes to what their pets and infant children are voicing, that doesn’t stop the two different species from having a little chit chat every now and then. Nothing could be more adorable than a baby and kitty have a full on interspecies chat! Maybe this baby truly is a real cat whisperer and understands exactly what this adorable kitty is talking about.
A YouTube user named Lenny noticed that his young baby daughter and the family tabby cat were always having their own full length conversations. He captured one of their interactions on video to preserve the memory and thankfully shared the interesting and adorable clip online.
According to Lenny this doesn’t occur randomly, instead his daughter and the cat hold mini conversations regularly. Every day the pair happily babble back and forth, just like how you see them here in the video. They seem to get lost in their strange conversation and are oblivious to the world around them.
What’s most surprising about this clip is that the adorable tabby actually seems to understand exactly what the little girl is saying. The cat responds to her in kind with soft meows, making it seem as if they’re really engaged in an intelligible conversation. The kitty also stays close by Lenny’s daughter rather than walk off or stop replying, and follows her around as if it wants to keep chatting with her!
Check out the adorable pair to see just how cute and sweet their mini-conversation is. You’re guaranteed to smile and will really enjoy this short video if you happen to love both cats and babies!

Dry skin, chapped lips, stuffy noses, darkness at 4PM, winter storms, the list goes on and on. One of the most annoying things by far is clearing walkways and driveways of snow and ice. The same goes for cars, but while you can often drive through a little bit of snow, you can’t with an ice-covered windshield. Not only is it illegal to drive with an obstructed view, it’s also insanely dumb and extremely dangerous!
While defrosting the car and scraping ice off the windshield seems like a necessary evil, it doesn’t have to be. You really don’t need to wake up extra early just to stumble around in the freezing cold darkness so that you can drive to work. Instead, you can save yourself some time and energy by doing the following:
In a spray bottle container mix together 2 parts isopropyl alcohol with 1 part water and then add in 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. Shake it up, spray it directly onto an icy windshield, and watch the ice literally melt away right before your very eyes!
This rubbing alcohol spray is the perfect thing to have on hand for freezing cold mornings and icy windshields. You can leave the bottle in your car and it won’t even freeze, unless it gets well under zero. That’s because the freezing point of isopropyl alcohol is -128.2 degrees Fahrenheit, so when you spray it on the ice, it doesn’t freeze up. Instead, it helps to melt the ice and keeps it from re-freezing. Since all you have to do is mist it on, it’s by far the quickest and easiest way to clear a windshield that’s coated with a thick layer of ice.
Don’t forget to check out the video to see exactly how well this works in action and be sure to pass it along to those who could use the smart tip. If it can make someone’s life a little bit easier this winter, then it’s worth it!
This is super helpful for those rough winter months.

Winter is tough. Along with the cold, dry weather comes a number of challenges that we all have to deal with. Cars need to be cleared of snow and ice and the same goes for walkways and driveways. Traveling often becomes way more difficult than usual and to top it off our health also takes a tumble for the worse.
Many of us are plagued by dry itchy skin, sore chapped lips, and stuffy noses that just won’t go away. These things quickly add up and can make it seem like winter is dragging on forever, especially when problems pop up outside on top of the health issues we may be facing.
Which is why these simple winter hacks, covered by the Millennial Moms YouTube channel, are perfect for right now. The video features some of the most clever ways to solve common winter woes and it might offer a solution to a problem you’re currently dealing with. These are some of the best hacks shown in the clip, but there are a total of fifteen, so be sure to check it out for all of the rest.
1) Winterize Boots- This trick does the job to keep feet warm and dry inside of boots that aren’t waterproof. After putting on your socks take two large plastic Ziploc bags and stick a foot in each. Grab a couple of rubber bands and slide them on over the bag to secure it in place and seal the top off around your leg. Pull on your boots and say goodbye to cold, wet feet.
2) Prevent Static Build Up In Hair- Pull a dryer sheet on over the bristles of your hair brush so that they poke through. Brush your hair as normal to eliminate the static, plus it’ll smell clean and great.
3) DIY Boot Inserts- Maintain the shape of tall boots by cutting a foam pool noodle into thirds or fourths, then stick a piece in each boot and they’ll stay upright, making them easier to organize and wear later on.
4) Stop Wipers From Freezing to a Car Windshield- Take an old pair of long cotton socks and slide them over each wiper, puling it down as far as it can go or reaches. This will prevent wipers from freezing and/or sticking to the windshield, and makes life all the more easier.
5) Organize Winter Gear- Hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, hand warmers, neck warmers and all other winter accessories can be neatly stored in one accessible place with a shoe organizer. Hang it over a door and never search for lost gloves again.
6) Windshield Treatment- This one is the best! A combination of vinegar and water works wonders at preventing frost and ice from building up on car windshields and windows. Mix the two liquids up in a spray bottle, spritz it on car windows, then wipe off with a soft cloth.
7) Boot Tray- Keep floors safe, clean, and dry by making your own boot tray. This one is much more appealing than commercially available ones and works even better. Fill a large metal cookie sheet with a layer of decorative rocks and put it near the door so that when people enter they can immediately place wet boots on the rocks. The water will drip through the rocks to the bottom and soon evaporate. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the tips covered in the clip and be sure to pass it along to those who could use these smart hacks to make their own lives easier.
These are just really helpful.

Having your car professionally detailed can easily end up being quite expensive. While it’s always nice to have a sparkling clean car, it’s even better when you can have it without spending a small fortune.

They can do the job just as well, if not even better, than what professional cleaners use.

Clean your headlights with toothpaste. Use regular toothpaste, not the gel type, to polish up car headlight lenses by rubbing it on evenly with a cloth. Move in quick circular motions to then buff it off and you should notice the grime and fogginess disappear.
Remove stubborn old bumper stickers cleanly and completely with WD-40. Simply spray the sticker with WD-40 and let it sit for a while, the sticker will absorb it, then you can peel it right off.
Remove pet fur from carpets and seats with a spray bottle, water, and a squeegee. Spray the water on the seat and then move the squeegee over the area, it will gather and lift up the hair so you can easily pick it up.
Clean air vents with small foam brushes. They can easily fit in even the smallest vents and pick up all the dirt and dust inside them.
Use coffee filters to dust your car dashboard. Unlike cloth towels and paper towels, coffee filters won’t leave behind lint or just push dust around. Instead they work great at picking up dust and you can toss a few in the glove compartment for whenever you might need one to freshen up the dash.
Get streak free windows by cleaning them with newspaper. It’s the cloths and paper towels that leave streaks when you clean your windows so don’t even bother using them. Instead, spray down the window with cleaner and wipe it off with a piece of newspaper as you normally would.
Get rid of stubborn, lingering odors by sprinkling baking soda on car seats and carpets. Let it sit for a couple of hours before vacuuming it up. The baking soda should absorb the foul odors, leaving your car smelling fresh and clean.

Watch This Cat Have His Daily Morning Conversation With This Baby
image via – facebook.com
Babies love to babble and make adorable noises. What, if anything, they may be trying to actually say is anyone’s guess because the sounds that come out of them are usually impossible to understand! In a similar sense the same goes for cats and the different meows, growls, purrs, and chirps they make. There’s no real way to truly interpret the meanings behind them.
While grown ups may be in the dark when it comes to what their pets and infant children are voicing, that doesn’t stop the two different species from having a little chit chat every now and then. Nothing could be more adorable than a baby and kitty have a full on interspecies chat!
A YouTube user named Lenny noticed that his young baby daughter and the family tabby cat were always having their own full length conversations. He captured one of their interactions on video to preserve the memory and thankfully shared the interesting and adorable clip online.
According to Lenny this doesn’t occur randomly, instead his daughter and the cat hold mini conversations regularly. Every day the pair happily babble back and forth, just like how you see them here in the video. They seem to get lost in their strange conversation and are oblivious to the world around them.
What’s most surprising about this clip is that the adorable tabby actually seems to understand exactly what the little girl is saying. The cat responds to her in kind with soft meows, making it seem as if they’re really engaged in an intelligible conversation. The kitty also stays close by Lenny’s daughter rather than walk off or stop replying, and follows her around as if it wants to keep chatting with her!
Check out the adorable pair to see just how cute and sweet their mini-conversation is. You’re guaranteed to smile and will really enjoy this short video if you happen to love both cats and babies!

Our Second Kitty Story Features a Brave Cat Who Snuck Into The Bear Exhibit In The Zoo and soon instead of disaster ensuing they would became the most unlikely of friends..
For The Full Story Read and Watch The Video Below:

Bears and cats seem like they’d be natural enemies rather than natural friends. Based on size alone, any bear easily dwarfs a cat and while they both have claws, a bear claw can be anywhere from 1-4 inches long. If the two were to meet in the wild, one would assume the cat would run away while the bear would either pay the cat no mind or possibly chase after it. But as with most things in life, things usually don’t turn out how you would think they should..
When a little black cat wandered into Mauschen’s, an Asiatic bear, enclosure at the Berlin Zoo, everyone was naturally very concerned for the kitty’s health and wellness. The cat, named Muschi, was spotted sitting up in a tree sitting on a branch inside the bear’s habitat by an employee who went in to feed her. Soon zoo visitors noticed Muschi as well and it was only a matter of time before Mauschen caught wind of the little cat’s presence.
Everyone looked on helplessly when the 800 pound bear slowly began to make her way towards the tiny little cat. When Mauschen was close, the cat suddenly jumped down from the tree. What happened next defied the laws of nature and everyone’s assumptions about bears and cats, instead of attacking the kitty, Mauschen appeared to have welcomed her as a new friend!
The two furry black animals quickly became best friends and formed a very close relationship. For the next seven years they were never far from one another, so when the zoo decided to expand Mauschen’s enclosure and had to separate them, they didn’t take it lightly.
Zookeepers had to keep the cat out because other bears were being brought in and they might not like having her around. However, it soon became apparent that the best friends were not handling their forced separation well.
All night long Muschi would cry outside the bear enclosure and both animal’s health declined. They were depressed and it was heartbreaking to see how visibly upset they were. Rather than risk stressing them anymore, the animal odd-couple were reunited and free to live together again in Mauschen’s newly renovated enclosure. They quickly went right back to their old ways and were playing and cuddling in no time at all.

Our Third Feline Story Features a Man Who Just Completed The Job Of Installing a Cat Door. The Cat Decides However Has Other Plans and Opens The Door The Old Fashioned Way Like a Human.
For The Full Story Read and Watch The Video Below:

It’s a well known fact that cats are hard to please. They can be quite finicky at times, especially when they come across something new. They often have to sniff out and inspect everything that catches their kitty eye and quickly make up their minds in regards to whether they accept or reject whatever it is they’re scoping out! Honestly cats will probably remain a mystery till the end of time. The way in which the feline mind works is in my opinion something humans will never truly understand or comprehend.
This picky and choosiness has left countless feline owners frustrated and more than just a little bit exasperated! Lots of cat lovers have gone to extreme lengths in all but vain attempts to please and accommodate their fur babies. In the end it never really matters what you may assume or think they’d enjoy, it ultimately comes down to what kitty decides..
One man lost sight of this feline quirk and his cat named Philo reminded him of it in such a way that only a cute little kitty can! Brian had picked up a cat door at the store in the hopes that his little buddy’s life would be made easier and happier from it. Philo absolutely loves to go outdoors and roam around so one would think the easy access to the outside and having his own door would be something he’d welcome. So his owner purchased a cat flap and set about installing it.
After gathering all his tools, and cutting a hole in his door to properly install it, Brian was finally done a couple hours later. He was excited about the new pet flap and made sure to grab both his camera and the cat so that he could capture Philo’s reaction upon seeing it for the first time. As Philo makes his way towards the new opening Brian enthusiastically urges him to try it out.
As the cat nears the door he barely even glances at the new flap. You’d think he’d at least check it out and sniff around or paw at it but he he doesn’t, it’s like he could care less about the darn thing! Instead, Philo decides to use the actual door rather than his new cat door. The clever kitty stands up and balances on his hind legs then uses his front paws to pull down on the handle and crack open the door. Moments later he’s inside the house, leaving Brian behind wearing what’s most likely a look of disbelief on his face!
It appears that Philo never even needed his own door to begin with because he already knows how to open the actual door all by himself! Dad made the all too common mistake that cat owners are prone to, he failed to properly anticipate whether or not his cat would actually like or use the cat door. The only thing that makes all his hard work and the time and money he spent on the cat flap worth it is that if the door is ever locked, Philo can use his new cat door.
In the end, some cats are simply hard to impress. Note: If Video Doesn’t Play On Mobile Device, Tablet or iPad Turn Device Horizontal!

THIS Is How You Can Boost Your Wifi Signal Using A Beer Can. I’m So Glad I Learned THIS
image via – youtube.com
There is nothing more annoying than going to the other side of your house, and losing your WiFi connection, or having to constantly reboot your device every time you get further away from your router. I, personally, have been really irritated with this occurrence after spending money on a supposed WiFi booster.
There is still some mystique around the workings of a WiFi signal, despite the fact that it works exactly the same way that our cell phones and TV do…through radio waves. The video you are about to watch below is one of the coolest and most useful DIYs I’ve come across to date!
Not only does it explain in an easy to digest way, how information from the internet gets converted into a radio signal that allows us to access it on our devices, but provides a HACK to boost your WiFi with ZERO COST!
All you will need, for this easy-to-follow tutorial, is 1 or 2 empty beer or soda cans, a scissor or knife and some sticky “blue tack”. I’m not the handiest person in the world, and this was actually simple to do!! Best of all, after placing this over the antennas of my router, VOILA!
The signal away from the router was amplified so well, that all my devices get the same strength of WiFi connection, no matter where I am in my house!

Have You Been Seeing 11:11 All The Time? It Means THIS!
image via – shutterstock.com
When you see a clock displaying the time 11:11, do you make a wish, or at least a mental note of it? Many people do exactly that and claim that they tend to remember and notice the time most often when it strikes 11:11. The reasons given for why this is so vary widely and you’ve likely heard of a few explanations, some of which may be explored below.
Part of the allure of 11:11 is that it’s the only time of day when all four numbers on a clock are the same. They appear uniform, clean, neat, and parallel respective to one another. This makes them pleasing to our eyes and mind, especially for those with a slight preoccupation with organization or numbers.
This may help explain why so many people say that they seem to always be looking at a clock when it’s 11:11. The sight of the number just sticks in their heads longer. In relation to that is the concept of synchronicity that may help shed light on the mystery and fascination surrounding 11:11.
Synchronicity is the belief that seemingly unrelated things, which in and of themselves are not that important, gain meaning and significance when they occur randomly at the same time. These events are often called “meaningful coincidences” as they have no apparent effect on each other, but are nonetheless meaningfully related in some way. We give meaning to 11:11 by ascribing it a sort of magical, special value.
That value stems from the most popular and common belief surrounding 11:11, which is that whenever you see it you should make a wish and your wish will come true. While this may or may not be true for everyone, it does give the numbers a special and meaningful sort of value. That’s because every time you see it and make a wish, you’re thinking of the things or events that you most want to happen or come true.
Within the practice 11 is regarded as a master number, which represents spirituality. In addition, it stands for increased awareness and perception by offering us a channel to our inner subconscious self. Thus, the number is a direct link, or a sort of doorway, to our soul and the desires, thoughts, emotions, feelings, and ideas hidden there. Some people even choose to look at 11:11 as a sort of glitch in the matrix.
Then there is the theory that if you notice 11:11 and stop to think about it, you’re taking time off to acknowledge the moment, and that is important. By simply stopping to fully realize and focus on what’s in front of you, you’re re-setting your own clock and rhythm. In the end, no one truly knows what real or absolute significance 11:11 may actually hold and that’s okay.
