The post Vlogger Founds Abandoned Baby Boar and Adopts Her appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>The Chinese vlogger currently lives in Sri Lanka with her boyfriend, four dogs, and a wild boar named Yezhu. The wild baby was placed in a box and found by Ngai’s gardener. She and her boyfriend took the critter under their wing.
“We read online that she would need to be fed every hour, my boyfriend and I took turns sleeping in the living room with her for almost the first four weeks. Feeding her every hour when she wakes up and starts crying. It was really like taking care of a baby for us,” the vlogger said in an interview for Bored Panda.
Although they had some difficulties in the beginning the couple managed to bring up their new family member. Now Yezhu is a grown boar, who loves her dog siblings, has a little home and swimming pool just for her. You can see beautiful photos on the vlogger’s Instagram account, where she has gained more than 20,000 followers.

]]>According to Birch, she knew she wanted a Daschund early on, and later begged her parent to get one. Her first sausage pup, Missy, came into her life over 10 years ago.
Missy then went on to have two litters, and Birch kept a dog from each—Button and Duke. But then Duke found a girlfriend and they had their own litter, with Apple completing the squad.
Now all five dogs—Missy, Button, Duke, Ivy, and Apple—are living the life. Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, they amassed a huge following online, with fans who have grown obsessed with the cute pups and their journey.
But having a pampered squad comes at a price, and Birch admits to spending £800 a month on clothes, accessories, photoshoots, treats, toys, beds, blankets, food, and insurance: “They are worth every single penny,” she told Metro. And we can see why!

]]>Most famous for his horn-rimmed glasses, Remix is the Dumbledore of Dogdom and the beard to the hipster. He’s also a frequent flyer, having traveled around the globe, anywhere from Israel to Puerto Rico.
“His collection of Hawaiian shirts work well in the Miami weather,” reflected his owner, Chris Ha, in an interview with Django. “He is sort of known for sporting sunglasses. When I put them on his head, he freezes in place, which is actually perfect for taking photos.”
But according to Ha, Remix (like most fashion divas) is also kind of a diva, in terms of attitude: “Remix is super grumpy,” admits Ha. “His nickname is ‘Grumpy Pup’ because he makes this grumbling sound whenever he is doing anything. When I want him to do something, it always has to be on his own terms. Though he is always attached to us in some way and needs to cuddle.”

]]>Indeed, when it comes to notoriety, it’s hard to compete with Nala Cat. Sporting more than four million followers on Instagram, Nala’s legacy will likely trample ours. Her photos showcase the cat in all her glory: her lush gray coat, piercing blue eyes (albeit sometimes cross-eyed), and quirky personality will have you sold in an instant.
“The story of one kitten, Nala, starts off at a home where the owners could no longer take care of the cats and kittens because there were too many,” shared her owner, Varisiri (Pookie) Methachittiphan, on the Instagram sensation’s personal website. “Nala was then taken away to the shelter where she was separated from her original family.”
And while Methachittiphan doesn’t know what happened with the rest of the cats or kittens, Nala’s journey to stardom began on that fateful day. Aside from being a top earner on Instagram, Nala won the TikToker of the Year award at the 11th annual Shorty Awards and was even interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.
But at least according to Methachittiphan, the cat’s fame came as a total surprise. “I just started Instagram without actually thinking that she was going to be so famous,” she admits. If you’re not following her yet, now’s the time!

]]>Known for his hilarious Instagram posts, he’s often sporting cute outfits and costumes, highlighting is tiny frame. With just one tooth and his tongue proudly sticking out, Cedric is too pure for this world.
“I was the last puppy left in the litter that no one wanted, because I have a severe overbite,” admitted the pup in a mock interview with Dog Whisperer HQ (for the time being, his owners choose to stay anonymous). “My humans knew my biological father and that’s how they learned about me. They had been wanting a small dog that they could easily travel with.”
It was when his owners saw a video of the pup playing with his siblings that they fell in love immediately and made the decision to take him in. “When they first saw me in person, they were surprised. I had seemed much bigger in the photos and videos. They were terrified that they would accidentally step on me or hurt me. We got to know each other over a few weeks and they stopped worrying as they saw I was very smart and careful.”
Don’t take this tiny pooch for granted. With some 60k followers on Instagram alone, and some viral videos comparing him to different-sized fruit and vegetable, Chihuahua Cedric is the next best thing on the internet. You’ll have to trust us on that.

]]>Her designs feature mainly Vizslas but not exclusively. “We do love creating gorgeous illustrated dog collections but more importantly support people who work to rescue and re-home Vizslas,” reads Trotting Dog’s website. Her products might feature Spike, her Hungarian Vizsla, or Milo a rescue Vizsla cross who joined the pack last year after being rescued from the streets of Cyprus. “As a result, we want to give a little back to help other gingers find loving homes too,” she writes.
Her business was founded in 2017 after Marianne crowdfunded and self-published a children’s book featuring illustrations of Spike. Her drawings became so popular she decided to create lots more cards and personalized gifts for dog lovers. Now, Marianne hand prints her designs herself on mugs, bags, cushion covers, and prints.
“The beauty of being a creative today is that I really can personally connect with my customers and design things using their feedback and ideas,” she shared with the Printed blog. “I love that I am part of a global pack of dog lovers which the internet and social media has opened up. As a bit of a late starter, I am 47 and solo parent my kids, working in the creative industry from home with an online business has been completely accessible.”
Take a look at some of her adorable designs in the gallery below:

]]>The post Bean is a Cat Who’s Obsessed With Bananas appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Bean’s owner says that her pet tasted bananas for the first time when he was about 9 months old. He wanted only a sniff and ended up liking this fruit very much. Now, cats shouldn’t be eating too much fruit, including bananas, so, unfortunately, Bean doesn’t get to eat his favorite treat too often.
“His vet knows about it because we’ve seen her several times this last year or so for his bouts of uveitis that he’s had a small problem with but he’s doing great and it is unrelated. She got quite a kick out of his photos. Banana would be unhealthy for a cat if consumed regularly though. So it’s definitely not a diet staple for him,” Bean’s owner told Bored Panda.
Bean’s other favorite snacks include Noosa Yogurt, scrambled eggs, veggies, and cheese. His unusual taste in food and adorable photos gained Bean more than 11.3k followers on Instagram.
Check out his photos below.

]]>The post This Cat’s Journey to her Forever Home Will Leave You in Tears appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Nala spent her first months in a hoarding situation – meaning her owners had too many cats. Pet hoarders aren’t bad or cruel people but are usually folks who don’t know how to care for the animals they love and take on more than they can care for. Eventually, they can’t keep up and at least some of the cats become neglected.
When Nala was six months old, she and her cat siblings were surrendered to a shelter, where they waited for somebody to adopt them. It took a while, but eventually, a special family came in and took her home.
It wasn’t easy at first – Nala had never been in a “normal” home before, and didn’t know how to act. She had to learn how to trust humans and to feel at home with her new family. But little by little she opened up. She turned into a funny, cuddly little kitten, and her parents started sharing photos of her on Instagram. Soon enough, she turned into an IG star, with 4 million followers!
Nala’s parents never expected her account to blow up the way it did, but are now using that for good, by raising awareness to shelters and rescues that are full of cats just like Nala.

]]>Almost two years ago, cat lover Mike Wilson and his girlfriend Megan Hanneman decided to adopt a new cat. They already had two cats and wanted to add a new member to the family. When they got to the local shelter, they immediately fell in love with a gentle giant named Bronson. Bronson was a ginger cat who loved to play with humans and to cuddle. But he had one small problem – he was huge.
Bronson’s inactive lifestyle and fondness of food had resulted in an incredible weight increase – he weighed 33 pounds at the time, about three times more than average! Luckily, Mike knew exactly what to do. He makes his living building cat furniture design to promote activity for indoor cats. He wanted to help Bronson live his life to the fullest, so he and Megan took him in and immediately started working to get him to his goal weight, with physical exercise and a special diet.
Today Bronson is down to 21 lbs, and is becoming more active every day! his new physique allows him to move around more easily and enjoy life to the fullest. He still has a long way ahead of him, but with Mike and Megan’s support and dedication, he is sure to reach his goal and be the happy, athletic cat he can be!
