A cat is really easy to have as a pet and here are the reasons why I think having a cat-friend is relaxing.
1.The purring sound
Some people listen to “white noise” before going to bed. I listen to my cat’s purrs. The purrs create an interesting vibe, a deep rythme which I find very relaxing.
2. The massages
Receiving massages from a cat is really funny and, of course, relaxing.
The downside is that sometimes she stings me with her claws, but mostly she is gently and gives a nice massage.
3. Having always someone to talk to
This one sounds awkward, but it’s true… My cat is very-very talkative. I am pretty sure that she thinks we speak the same language but
4. All play, no worries
The cat gives a positive vibe. She is always optimist and happy and she comes at me and asks me to play with her. It is really funny.
5. A true friend
Although people consider that dogs are man’s best friend, cats are also best friends. If you respect it and take care of your cat, it will definitively consider you its friend.
P.S. Some people find it so relaxing to have a cat that they got a very-very big cat: Puma Messi đ
6. A good help in kitchen
With a cat, you never get bored when you cook. Either the cat wants to watch you and learn your skills, or it helps you taste the products, or keeps your feet worm just in case. Anyhow, it is fun!
For instance, look at this Japanese guy cooking with his cats (JunsKitchen):
This is the list of all cartoons for grown-ups that I’ve watched. I liked all of them (otherwise I wouldn’t have watched them). They are not in a particular order, although I could say that I especially liked Futurama and King of the Hill.
1. South Park
Very funny and fresh. I remember tons of funny moments from it (from instance, when Stan gets vaginitis from being vegan and tiny vaginas appeared all over his skin, until he could become a giant pussy).
Some seasons were better than others, but all in all they did a pretty good job. I am glad they still produce it.
2. Simpsons
First I liked it, then I hated it. Now I just find it boring. One of the best parts I remember is the real life couch gag. Pretty cool.
3. Futurama
From Simpson’s creators, but a much better job. I loved it for its original ideas. I remember dozens of funny and interesting moments. There also are a lot of mems from Futurama – and it is not a coincidence. The show really provides with funny stuff.
There are some funny lines that remained in the public’s memory. Like these ones for instance:
“I am going to build my own theme park… with blackjacks and hookers”.
Or:
“Death by snu-snu”
Or:
“Good news, everyone”
And there are a lot of funny characters and situations… I surely hope they will make other seasons, even though it ended in 2013…
4. Family guy
Not my favorite, and not my least favorite. I like watching it, but sometimes it gets boring. Has tons of jokes, but most of them aren’t very funny. All in all, it is a relaxing show. I hope they will continue to produce it, even if it’s not the best.
5. American Dad
Seth MacFarlane strikes again đ
I don’t know why he did American Dad. The first season was good, the others were less interesting. Eventually, it ended and I can’t say I crave it.
6. The Cleveland Show
Another Seth MacFarlane show. This one was funnier than American Dad. It lasted only a few seasons, but I liked it. I would still watch it if it would still exist.
7. Bobâs Burgers
After I watched the first episode from Bob’s Burgers, I thought to myself: “Why would anyone watch such nonsense? People screaming, flat jokes, uninteresting characters…”. Then I watched some more and I was entertained. Not all episodes are great, and in fact most of them are boring, but some of them are really-really good.
Even though a lot of people like Louise’s character, I find it very annoying. Maybe because of the hat…
8. The critic
This is not your average sitcom. It is about a boring film critic. And the cartoon is kind-of boring, but it is ok, since it doesn’t aim to be super-mega entertaining. If you just want to watch something nice before falling to sleep, you can watch The Critic.
9. Corner Gas Station
This Canadian cartoon was made after a real tv-series. It hasn’t great jokes, but it is relaxing. I wouldn’t watch tons of seasons though.
10. F is for Family
A little bit too hysteric for my type, but I did enjoy watching it. It lacks good jokes. I don’t know if I would watch all the seasons.
Maybe they should tone it down. It is unnecessarily aggressive.
11. King of the Hill
Propane… and propane accessories.
Loved this show. It is more serious than the others and it is very well made. It also has good jokes, although they are different from what people expect.
Also, unlike in other cartoons, in this one the characters evolve. It is still a sitcom, things still tend to get back to “normal” at the end of the episode, but something will always be a little bit different because no situation leaves the characters unchanged.
I loved its sarcasm. Unfortunately, I don’t think people “got” it, otherwise, I guess that the show would have been more popular.
It is also one of the very few shows that actually has a beginning and an end, which makes it satisfying.
P.S. One of its creators, Mike Judge, also wrote and directed Idiocracy (2006). Good movie.
12. Brickleberry
Brickleberry and its spin off, Paradise PD, are the craziest cartoons from my list. And this is why they have a special place in my heart. It was so so refreshing to watch them. Unfortunately, people didn’t appreciate them and they got canceled. I still hope that there will be a revival.
13. Paradise PD
Brickleberry wasn’t successful enough, so they changed it a little bit and created “Paradise PD”. I liked them both, although I prefer Brickleberry because it takes place far away from the everyday city life and its characters are more powerful. The only thing that I liked more in Paradise PD was the dog that replaced the bear. I didn’t like the bear in Brickleberry.
There is also this meme, but I don’t remember from which one of the shows it is.
I so hope that these 2 guys, Roger Black, Waco O’Guin, will create some more Brickleberry, or at least Paradise PD. The world needs something as fresh as these shows.
14. BoJack Horseman
This cartoon is a little bit different. It isn’t as funny as the others and it is more of a dark-comedy / drama animation.
It is smarty and relaxing to watch, although sometimes it gets a little bit too depressing.
All in all, I did enjoy a lot watching it and I hope they will continue to produce it for a long-long time.
It also had some really interesting episodes, especially the one when BoJack goes in the underwater world.
15. Bordertown
Not very funny, but kind of nice. Good too watch when you have nothing else to watch. Unfortunately it only has 13 episodes because it got canceled.
16. The Goode Family
From the creators of King of the Hill.
I don’t know what this “Goode Family” was supposed to be.
Boring show and boring plot, but it is not annoying to watch.
17. Fugget about it
This canadian show is about a family of retired gangsters. The show is non-conformist, has a few very good jokes and it is a real pleasure to watch it. I particularly liked the originality of the family type.
18. Crash Canyon
Simple and only a few jokes.
But I enjoyed watching it. It is chill and relaxing.
You can watch the whole series here:
19. Hoops
A little bit too ADHD for me, not very funny either, but I somehow liked it.
Messi is a rescued puma (cougar) who lives with his loving family in a flat in Penza city, Russia. He was born on 30.10.2015, so now (oct 2019) Messi is almost 4 years old.
There are two things that make this big cat very special: its extremely loving family and the way he looks at you, so gentle – right in your soul.
Messi and Alexandr
The couple who takes care of Messi (Alexandr Dmitriev and Mariya Dmitriev – such sweet people) are very dedicated and you can clearly see, following their social media, that they ADORE Messi and Messi ADORES them too. These people have beautiful souls and so has their big cat (and also their other small cat).
Funny Messi taking a bath
I am in love with Messi’s beautiful way of looking at his parents. He is so so gentle!
My message to all the haters
Listen to Messi
There are people who demand that Messi should live in a sanctuary for wild animals, but I strongly doubt that he would have a better life. There he would be alone, torn from his family. Who would love him, who would brush him, who would pet him, who would listen to him (well, as you can see and hear from the Youtube videos, Messi is very talkative)?
I am extremely glad that the family will move to a house with yard, where Messi will have plenty of space, but I don’t think this was really a issue. Even if the cat lived in a flat, Alexandr and Mariya Dmitriev walk him at least twice a day and even play with frisbee.
The only thing I disagree with is an appearance in Russian TV. I think Messi was stressed and I think there are other ways to make people know about him besides taking him in a TV studio… Anyhow, it was only one time and I hope it will remain the only time.
Even though I completely agree with the way Alexandr and Mariya Dmitriev take care of Messi, I certainly don’t agree with the idea to own a wild animal. Messi is a very special case – he was ill (he even has smaller legs than normal cougars) and he was rescued AND his owners certainly don’t joke around. They even take Messi 4 times a week to a dog training facility.
Messi at the dog training school with Mariya
They really, but really devoted all their time and interests to Messi. There are not many people who can do this. So, please, don’t own wild animals!!! Messi is a wonderful exception and please understand this fact.
Making life better for millions of people
Alexandr and Mariya post very often to their social media: on Youtube (I_am_puma) and Instagram (I_am_puma). You can also follow Messi’s Facebook Page. I literally wake up and check Instagram to see a cute photo or a lovely Instagram story with Messi. It really warms my heart!
On Youtube, in the comments of one of Messi’s videos, I once read that a woman showed her paralyzed mother these videos and when she saw them it was the only time she smiled.
I strongly believe that these clips and images bring joy to the people. It’s something really hard to find in this stressful world. Messi’s innocent eyes are a kind of promise to a better world…
He already had this look when he was just a little cub…
Messi as a cub
Also, the love that the couple shows towards Messi, their truthful way of behaving and living their lives represent a hope that nice people still exist.
In this world, with all the plastic and twerking and greasy foods, loathsome reality shows, people who are desperate for money and fame and all that cultural, political and social garbage, Messi is a ray of light. And I mean it.
So, if you have the possibility, give a gift to Messi!
There are two options: a donation website (for I_am_puma) or via Paypal (PayPal e-mail: JIEHNH@yandex.ru).
Learn Russian with Messi
Reading with Messi
Some videos have subtitles, but mostly don’t. I really hope in the future Alexandr and Mariya will add English subtitles because I would really like to learn a few words by listening them talk while watching Messi.
Although that I love Alexandr, Messi’s gentle owner, I also hope that Mariya, his beautiful wife, will appear in more videos.
I hope Messi will live a long happy life and Alexandr and Mariya will have a wonderful life as well! Thank you for sharing Messi with us!
P.S. Messi made me think that pumas come from Atlantis, so I wrote this post:
Today I came across an original thing on the internet and I am very excited about it. An artist that works in video editing field uses his cat to “improve” some famous movies and tv series. Besides the fact that the final result is amazing, I also enjoyed watching the “behind the scenes” videos. The cat absolutely loves it and it is a good example against those who think that cats are hard to be trained and are stubborn.
So, here is an example of “cat in the video”. The movie is John Wick.
The cat’s name is Owl. The owner’s name is Thibault (Tibo) Charroppin. I think these videos show that he is really talented and also that he is a very patient and creative person.
Here is the behind the scene video. Amazing!
If you would like to support them, they have a Patreon account.
Also, you can follow them on Youtube or Instagram. They continue to create these super cute videos.
“If a labrador was given three wishes it would be eternal supply of food, eternal stomach, and more food”.
LOL đ
There is also this clip with a dog competition and a Golden Retriever…
Well, this is why Labradors and Golden Retrievers are definitely not my favorite dog breeds. đ
Some people like these naughty and food obsessed dogs, but I definitely not like them. It is a mystery how these dogs got to be guide dogs for blind people (in movies at least, because in real life I saw that blind people use German Shepherds).
The 2 breeds I dislike most are the Retrievers because of their low intellect and I also dislike the French Bulldog because it has so many health problems and I can’t really believe the fact that people are still allowed to breed these poor dogs that will lead a life of pain.
Anyhow, The German Shepherd is my favorite dog breed. It is a very beautiful dog, very smart, obedient, healthy, has pretty good life span. I really like them!
Another dog breed that I like a lot is King Charles Spaniel. These are really cute dogs, but they are not as intelligent as the German Shepherd. They are indeed very beautiful and one day I would like to have such amazing companions.
I also absolutely love Border Collie. If you take your time to search Youtube you will see how amazing they are herding sheep (they will also herd your toddlers… LOL). They are truly wonderful dogs. Some say that the average dog has the intelligence of a 2 years old human, but the Border Collie is as intelligent as a 4 years old human being.
Yeap, these 3 are my favorite dog breeds: Â King Charles Spaniel, German Shepherd and Border Collie đ
Today is Earth Day so I though I would like you to meet one of my furry friends that helps protect our planet. His name is Lemmy and we’ve been friends for quite a while.
If you’ve been reading my blog, you might already know him. He appeared in some of my posts and even has his own “Lemmy Approved” mark (he approves only the best products).
He is part of YooHoo family. This is a big family of furry friends, very cute and funny.

There are a lot of Lemmees anywhere in the world. For instance, some of them are at the beach:

My friend’s “official” name is Lemmee, but he told me he prefers to be called Lemmy.
This is Lemmy on a pile of books.
There are even cakes and cookies with Lemmees.

I don’t know how tasty they are, but they surely look very funny.
This one is actually a DIY Halloween ideea. I find it very cute. It would be a little bit complicated to actually wear something like this in rain because the plush cats and dogs would soak. And it would be difficult to carry it around. But if you are a really funny person who would go to extreme… maybe you could use for real this kind of umbrella… I know I would LOL
