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.comThere are several interpretations for the current alliance between Venus and Uranus in your sign, all of which involve surprises. While some might be welcome, others could seem worrying, at least at first. In every case they're worth exploring. The more you learn, the more the resulting developments will delight you. By Shelley von Strunckel
It was only a week ago that the planet of vision, Neptune, moved into its own sign, Pisces. This triggered a period of questioning about certain values and objectives you've regarded as unchanging. Once, perhaps, they were. But this is bringing changes in the world around you and, in some way, in everybody's life. By Shelley von Strunckel
While you'd admit to flaws in your character, stubbornness is not one of them. You are, however, urged to examine several situations in which you've simply refused to consider making changes, if not letting go of plans. True, you regard these as essential. Ask a few questions, and you'll discover they're not. By Shelley von Strunckel
Logic will get you a long way. It eliminates confusion and enables you to discuss plans with a clear mind. However, certain tricky individuals require a very different approach. Central to this lighter touch is humour. Once you're able to view the proceedings with humour, you'll realise you've had a very real breakthrough. By Shelley von Strunckel
You sometime stick with a plan or a passion more out of ego than because of logical reasons. Think of this now, before you become so involved in certain arrangements you'd have trouble disentangling yourself from them. Out of character as taking it slowly may be, it's your best option. By Shelley von Strunckel
Don't make the mistake of thinking that there's honour in fighting for certain arrangements that once meant a great deal to you. Not only would keeping these in place be a distraction, once you say farewell to them you'll be free to focus on far more promising, if unexpected, ideas or offers. By Shelley von Strunckel
It's time to acknowledge the only way you'll resolve one especially tricky matter is by standing up to somebody who's a bully. You've tried to satisfy this particular individual, but nothing's worked. That's because you still haven't acknowledged the only thing that has an effect is a simple, head on, confrontation. By Shelley von Strunckel
Only days ago you were battling against the idea of potential alterations in elements of your way or living or activities out in the world. However, you've finally recognised just how much these changes are needed, enough you're actually considering others. This is wise. There are many areas where similar changes would be timely. By Shelley von Strunckel
There's a difference between showing interest in new ideas, which you are, and actually committing to them. You know this but others don't. Bear this in mind, or certain individuals could easily mistake your rather enthusiastic response to these developments as a commitment, when you're doing no more than asking questions. By Shelley von Strunckel
To you, trust is fundamental to any close alliance, personal, professional or otherwise. So when you witness events that raise questions about that trust, you worry, if not become suspicious. While at other times that might be merited, the odds are good there's a rational explanation. You need only ask. By Shelley von Strunckel
Only a week ago, after over a decade there, Neptune departed your sign for good. While you may not be able to describe any discernable change, you'll begin to notice your thinking is clearer and your convictions stronger. Soon this will be joined by a return of feelings of confidence you thought gone forever. By Shelley von Strunckel
If you think an idea is good, that's enough. In the past you've allowed others' questions or even the opposition of certain individuals to keep you from pursuing something you regarded as worthwhile, and to your regret. Now that a similar situation has arisen, ignore others and do what you think is best. By Shelley von Strunckel
