Orphaned Owlet Raised to Be WildYou'll love this story that teaches us how a wildlife expert treats an orphaned baby owl after its nest was destroyed. To keep it from imprinting on humans, the infant is fed by a stuffed owl! It also sleeps with a plush owl toy that has a heartbeat. It's not mom, but it's better than nothing. And Raven Ridge Wildlife Center has more tricks up their sleeve- a foster father! Pharaoh has proven himself to be attentive and gentle with baby owls, and this chick is in good hands with him. His influence is important, because this is how an owlet learns how to be an owl. Check out more owl stories from Raven Ridge Wildlife Center at Instagram.
Theo Is Very Much Attached to His BowlsMost pets love their bowls for the simple reason that the bowl is where to food is. They don't like empty bowls. But Theo the bulldog is different. He really loves his bowl. Or your bowl. Or that other bowl. He carries bowls around like some dogs (and children) carry security blankets. Theo had several metal bowls that he carried, played with, and even slept with. But it was a glorious day when his human Andrew received a shipment of twenty new metal bowls of all sizes! That's a whole universe of new games to play with bowls. Andrew must be a very patient man, to put up with the racket all those bowls make, but he loves Theo, and we make sacrifices for those we love. You can keep up with Theo and his bulldog buddies Rosie and Mortimer at Facebook and Instagram. -via Metafilter
Snake Crawling inside a Bicycle WheelMy first thought was to repeat the old rhyme:Red and black, friendly jack.Red and yellow, kill a fellow.This snake has red and black stripes next to each other and is thus a harmless king snake and not the very deadly coral snake.

He Turned His Bathroom Into a Disco for CatsLook at all the pretty lights in this bathtub! This is for the cats, although you get the idea that they are more interested in the moving objects than in the colors. But why would you go to all this trouble to entertain your cats in the bathroom? Johann Rosenberg had a reason for every facet of this bathroom redo. When you hear the story, it all makes sense. What's wrong with dedicating one bathroom to the cats? Nothing, except we learn that Rosenberg only has one bathroom, and all this stuff has to be portable so he can use the room himself. This project may remind you of the old woman who swallowed a fly, in that one project leads to side effects, which leads to another project, and so on. But in this one, he ended up with a cool video with both pretty light effects and cats. You can't go wrong with that combination!
Kitten Teaches Herself to Ride a SkateboardPuka is a curious kitten, and apparently has no fear. At the tender age of three months, the gorgeous ragdoll encountered a skateboard and immediately climbed on it.
