Nothing against goats, but I’d prefer puppy yoga.
I saw the octopus article this weekend and wondered if Mr. Octopus was returned to the same area or a different area? I don’t know if octopi are territorial. Oh well, regardless so far a happy ending!
I looked at all the pics, and then my eyes froze in shock. The way the stories and images were set up on my screen had the cat story right beside Mr. Octopus, and my initial reaction, based solely on the pics, was that Mr. Octopus had been adopted by the man eating cereal, and the octopus was engaged in acts not appropriate for the dining table.

akward.
Reminds me my favorite line from Uncle Buck:
– (c’mon , get in here!)
– Who left the cat outside?!?
– We don’t have a cat!!!
– (go on, get out. shoo)
I’m pretty much blissed out 24/7 with my Millie dog.
Rats, no sound with the banjo-strumming horsey!

Puppies are about the only things that would get me to do yoga ?♂️
Animal stories and videos give me life. I need a place that has only happy stories and videos (not just happy endings).
Just got ambushed AGAIN by a horror story (NOT HERE) of a lovely, totally-terrified-at-the-shelter dog being put down because his owner was sick, and nobody stepped up and fostered him.
I’m distraught for a (now RIP) dog I know only from a heartbreaking photo, and a desperate plea.
I really reeeallly appreciate, Mike, more than I can ever express, that many-to-most of your stories and videos fall into the happy, funny, silly, wonderful category. It would make my life exponentially better if that ratio could be inched still further toward 100%.
Feel free to ignore completely. I know it’s mostly just me…
Not just you. Sometimes this is the only site I want to visit because everything else is just too much.

Definitely not just you! Frequent visits to Cutetropolis keep us all sane and healthy! NTMTOM is providing a public service!
Definitely not just you – sometimes the world seems like a very dark place. And I know what you mean about the ambushing. I used to get part of my cute animal fix (and a needed emotional boost) from Pinterest – but lately, I have seen some horrible pictures on my Pinterest feed of animal mistreatment that I never wanted to see and would never wish on any living being. It makes me cry to look at them. I am so grateful for this site and the chance to see animals that are happy, loved, and enjoying life – thank you Mike!
