shameless animal video of the week

Rupert the cocker spaniel/poodle mix loves attention just like any other pooch. But unlike other dogs, he gets seriously ticked off when he doesn't get it. Easy, pal. You won't be getting any hugs with that sort of attitude.

While 'Star Wars' is darn near perfect, we've always thought it could use more cats. Imagine our glee, then, when we discovered this video of a space-faring kitty meowing the theme from the 1977 classic film. It's the best of both worlds!

We could offer an explanation of this. But we really don't have one, and do you really need one? It's just an adorable Corgi puppy and an equally adorable kitten snuggling, and arguing in their sleep over who gets the most pillow. Oh, and chewing on each other's feet...

Campers at Jenks Lake in California's San Bernardino National Forest got an unexpected visitor when a bear sauntered into camp and stole a backpack containing an iPad. Not that we blame him, of course. Those things are expensive!

Aside from being ridiculously adorable, our pets offer up some pretty funny entertainment. For starters, they casually hang out for photo shoots and sneeze to the beat of Dubstep. Basically, if there's a cute behavior to be documented, you can be sure we're on it!

This video is just the right amount of heartwarming and sad. Some men who were out boating in Alaska came across a pod of killer whales. Then things got dramatic when a mother sea otter and her pup made the scene and were hunted by the whales.

APEril is a six-month-old white handed gibbon ape. Up Chuck is a middle-aged cat. They both live at the Monkey Island Rescue animal sanctuary and, as you can see in this adorable video, they are playmates.

People please, let sleeping dogs lie, and then record it, upload it to YouTube and wait for somebody to put it in a video with others of its kind.

This video "Cat, Have a Coin" tries to answer a question that haunts our dreams and troubles our waking life: Just how easy is it to get a cat to hold a coin? The answer? Very.

We still can’t quite decide if ‘Gangnam Style’ is hilarious or slightly nightmare-inducing. One thing is for sure though--the mega-hit is straight up addicting, although we’re not exactly sure why.
