Your dog’s anxiety isn’t always loud 🐾

Sometimes it looks like pacing, yawning, lip licking, whining, clinginess, or those “I can’t settle down” zoomie spirals. Learning the signs = helping them feel safe sooner ❤️ #dogallergies #basepaws #dogsofinstagram #pitbulldog

From Saturday Night Live legend to cat dad duties 🐾🎬

Tim Meadows has spent decades making us laugh, from his iconic SNL run to cult-favorite roles in Mean Girls and beyond. But in 2025, his most unexpected role found him.

Enter: Weezy 🐱
Rescued from inside a rolled-up carpet, this tiny abandoned kitten kickstarted Meadows’ journey into cat parenthood, courtesy of the universe’s finest matchmaking service: the Cat Distribution System™

And because every leading cat deserves a co-star…
Helen joined the cast soon after, adopted from a barn cat colony in New York to keep Weezy company.

What started as an “I didn’t plan on this” moment quickly turned into full-on cat dad energy ✨ Meadows now regularly shares Weezy’s adventures (and a bit of Helen’s behind-the-scenes chaos too), proving that even the smoothest comedians can be completely outsmarted by two tiny roommates with paws 🐾

Do you know the types of activities that feed your dog’s instincts? 🐕

The type and duration of play can depend on your dog’s breed, age, and size. Genetics and the roles your dog was bred for play a huge part in the types of activities that are best for them.

Understanding your dog’s “job” is key to keeping them happy and fulfilled! 🙌 When dogs don’t get to express their natural instincts, they often find... creative ways to entertain themselves 😅

A tired dog isn’t just a physically exercised dog - it’s a mentally stimulated one too. Border Collies need different challenges than Bulldogs, and Beagles have completely different drives than Great Danes.

Pro tip: Start with 15-20 minutes of breed-appropriate activities and adjust based on your dog’s energy level. Senior dogs and puppies need modified versions, but the instincts remain the same!

What activities does YOUR dog gravitate toward naturally?

There’s something undeniably special about orange cats that goes way beyond their stunning marmalade coats! ✨

These vibrant felines aren’t just eye-catching - they’re genetic marvels with personalities to match their bold looks. Did you know that roughly 80% of orange cats are male? ♂️ It all comes down to that famous X-chromosome where the orange gene lives!

Research shows orange cats tend to be the most social and outgoing of all coat colors. They’re the cats that’ll greet you at the door, follow you around the house, and absolutely demand to be part of every conversation (usually very loudly!) 😹

Those signature tabby stripes? They come in four distinct patterns - and EVERY orange cat has them, even if they’re super faint! Their eye colors can range from bright gold to deep copper to stunning green, all determined by the same genetic lottery that gave them their fiery fur.

Fun fact: Orange cats also tend to be slightly larger than other cats - probably because most of them are males!

Do you have an orange cat? What’s their personality like - are they the chatty, social type or do they break the “orange cat stereotype”? 🧡

Why is your cat suddenly acting as if they’ve never been fed a day in their life? 🤔

As the days get longer, your cat’s body shifts out of winter mode and into go mode. More daylight = more activity, more zoomies, and a metabolism that’s ready to spend energy instead of conserve it ⚡

In winter, cats tend to slow down and nap like it’s their full-time job (honestly… it is). But spring flips the switch. They’re hunting shadows, chasing sunbeams, and burning more calories, which means… yep, bigger appetites.

Have you noticed a change in your cat's eating habits?

April showers = “hard pass” for most pups ☔🐶

Wet grass, loud rain, and muddy paws can make potty time feel like a full sensory overload. Try quick covered potty breaks, high-value treats, and a consistent routine to help them brave the drizzle 🌧️✨

If your pup treats your garden like a dig site, they’re not “bad”… they were bred for it 🧬

For many breeds, digging is deeply rooted in their instincts. Dogs like terriers, dachshunds, and huskies were bred with jobs that required digging, like chasing prey underground 🐇 It’s less of a random habit and more of a built-in behavior they’ve carried for generations!

That said, instinct isn’t the only reason your yard might be full of surprise holes. Dogs also dig when they’re bored, trying to burn off extra energy, or looking for a little adventure. And on warmer days, digging can even help them cool off by reaching softer, cooler soil 😌

The good news? You don’t have to give up your lawn entirely. Redirecting the behavior can make a big difference 🙌 Try creating a designated digging area where it’s okay to go wild, adding more enrichment and exercise to keep them mentally and physically satisfied, and using puzzle toys or scent games to tap into those instincts in a more controlled way.
