Unusual Animal Facts: Part 1
Just naming this post, “Unusual Animal Facts”, will result in it getting tons of hits.
People are fascinated by animals.
This, of course, will explain why we are so fascinated with what goes on in each other’s lives.
Humans are, after all…animals.
To that end, the “Unusual Animal Facts” I’ve written about in this post are inclusive of all the natural world’s animal kingdom.
Unusual Animal Facts #1:
Look at the popularity of the blog LOL Cats on http://www.icanhascheezburger.com. Millions and millions of people, from all over the world, log on to the site to view millions and millions of pictures and videos of millions and millions of…animals.
Marc and I spend as much time as the next guy “Ooo-ing and awww-ing” over the videos and pictures on www.icanhascheezburger.com…maybe more. We love the site and so does everybody we know!
Unusual Animal Facts #2:
In my blog post, “Start Your Own Animal Shelter”, I share with you a bit of the personal responsibility I’ve taken on pertaining to the animal portion of our natural world and ask if you will make the commitment to do the same.
The creators of LOL Cats, Eric Nakagawa (Cheezburger) and Kari Unebasami (Tofuburger) have, albeit unwittingly, started their own animal shelter…for all animals (
humans included!).
First, the love, humor and heart shared by the millions who visit the site, share the files, talk about what they see, hear, and feel manifests SUCH enormous amounts of positive energy it’s incredible
Second, the shared experiences millions have while shooting the pictures and videos (both with other humans and interacting with the animals) again, manifests colossal good will directed toward animals as they are the central subject matter. The Universe does read that energy and pass it on.
Unusual Animal Facts #3:
Your love is making a making a difference…somehow…some way.
Unusual Animal Facts #4:
As an animal shelter, LOL Cats is responsible for social change in a way that can never be measured.
How many people having an awful day look at that site, laugh at something they see and it turns their day around entirely? Now, that turnaround affected how many other lives? Maybe they didn’t snap at their child or co-worker but, instead, greeted them with laughter and lightness of spirit. Maybe the turnaround gave that person the extra energy and drive to do something special “just because”.
How many people who do not have pets will look at that site and adopt a cat, dog, bunny, etc.? (Hopefully AFTER careful consideration as to the real commitment of doing so)
How many an office environment where there may have been tenseness is brought back to a state of balance and harmony by the sharing of ”Ooos and Awws” while viewing the site?
Unusual Animal Facts #5:
How many of you have never heard of the site but will go there now and giggle, sigh and…LOL?
Unusual Animal Facts #6:
LOL Cats started as a funny picture sent from one friend to another and for no other reason than to cheer them up.
Unusual Animal Facts #7:
My explanation of why LOL Cats is so popular is simple.
We’re all interconnected.
That and LOL Cats “could” be considered Animal Totem Central.
What are the spirit messages we take away from watching a video about an elephant? What power do we connect with when we’re inexplicably drawn to a picture of a hawk? What magic happens when a child learns about the natural world via LOL Cats?
Unusual Animal Facts #8:
This is the last fact of this post. I deliberately chose to stop with number 8 because it is the number of eternity and perfect balance.
It’s also my favorite fact from this post.
Early on in the creation of www.icanhascheezburger.com, the site got so popular and so big so fast, the creators had to ask the internet community for monetary donations to keep it going.
The money flowed.
Go out of your way for someone today. It can change the world!

Now I see why you were so positive when I recommended this website in the forum on your previous website! rofl These cats and other animals start my day off with a laugh or an “Awwww, how cute!” every day! Its companion site with the loldogs is pretty cool, too. Love to all!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of this website and the need for people to do what is right rather than follow trends. I have a pedigree dog, he’s a rescued greyhound. He is a wonderful spirit in our home and I feel good in my heart for saving his life. You see he would have been destroyed at 4 years young if we didn’t step in, he was lucky,he’s 11 now- so many are not. Keep spreading the positive, we make changes one by one.
The website http://www.icanhascheezburger.com. is not working :0(
It seems to have been hacked or something. Thank you for sharing your site with us.
Cat and animal lovers should check out this website:

Curt LoGiudice does great work in Florida! Not only is he a caretaker to many beautiful animals, he also works hard to educate the public.

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comObviously you'd rather make decisions on your own than have to bow to the questionable views of others. However unsure you are about the wisdom of their plans, they're actually far more knowledgeable than you imagine. Ask them for explanations. The resulting discussions will be as informative as they are reassuring. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that Neptune has joined your ruler Venus in the visionary sign of Pisces, you'll find that suddenly your intuition is amazingly clear. While this may not last forever, explore the resulting feelings and perceptions. The resulting insights will come in handy, especially when dealing with impossible people or situations. By Shelley von Strunckel
Often issues are best discussed frankly and openly, and as soon as possible after they arise. However, many pivotal facts are either unknown or misunderstood. That being the case, take it slowly. Say what you must but no more. And remain silent until all the necessary information comes to light. By Shelley von Strunckel
Every once in a while it's important to review what you do with your time and to consider what and who you put first in your life. While you might think you've got your priorities right, give some thought to these matters and you'll realise you're short-changing some and wasting considerable time on others. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes challenging situations involving already rather uptight individuals are best approached with a light touch. While you may think there's nothing funny or humorous to be found, the actual process will cast the proceedings in a fresh perspective. You might even stop taking things quite so seriously, which alone is an achievement. By Shelley von Strunckel
Don't mistake the suggestions made by others that certain once important ventures might need to come to a conclusion as criticism. The fact is, you've been thinking exactly the same yourself, but have been unwilling to acknowledge it. The real problem is your own pride. Tackle that and everything else will be easy. By Shelley von Strunckel
Arrangements you've struggled to organise are falling apart. You can't help but feel that if they matter, you should battle for them. Take a look at the changes going on around you and, as a result, in your own life. These make it inevitable that some of those long-standing arrangements must go. By Shelley von Strunckel
One of the most challenging things for you to admit is that you've been outsmarted. It makes no difference whether the situation in question involves certain individuals or it's the circumstances you're dealing with. Still, not only must you admit that's the case, you're urged to let go of the reins entirely. By Shelley von Strunckel
Being a fire sign, you're superb at surmounting the kind of obstacles many regard as overwhelming. However, one particular situation has thrown even you. Frustrating as this is in the short term, what you learn from the actual process of figuring out ways around these will serve you well in the future. By Shelley von Strunckel
Yet again you've made the mistake of trusting somebody else to do a job for you. Actually, that isn't the problem. They did what was necessary, but not with the care or thoroughness you'd have employed. Which is why you didn't mention it. You unwisely assumed they would be as conscientious as you are. By Shelley von Strunckel
As an Aquarius, although you don't notice it, you're far more interested in what others are both thinking and doing than most. This means that often you understand them better than they do themselves. Bear this in mind now, as you discuss sensitive matters and you'll realise why they seem so lacking in self-awareness. By Shelley von Strunckel
At times progress is marked by new experiences, exciting encounters or achievements. However, the kind of progress you're making could just as well involve recognising that you really must say farewell to certain alliances, activities or even goals. This may seem unfair, but they part of the past and would be a real distraction. By Shelley von Strunckel
