Cats tend to get really bored hanging around the house all day, so unless we want shredded couches and torn curtains we have to provide sources of entertainment for our feline family members.

And when our cats get bored of their trees, toy mice and little feathered things on strings we have to give them a new amusing thing to swat at, pounce on or rub themselves against, like this self petting station made from toilet brushes.

The best stuff you can give your cat is the stuff you make yourself, because you know your cat well enough to know whether hanging (or swinging) around in a cool kitty trapeze all day will be a lifestyle upgrade.

You'll also be able to make toys both you and the cat can enjoy, like this treat dispenser puzzle that makes your lazy kitty work for their vittles while you laugh at their futile attempts. There ain't no treats in there, ya dumb cat!

Punk Panda by Ronn Kools

As animals like pandas become more comfortable with human contact they become familiar with our habits, idiosyncracies and lifestyles as well, and as expected many animals are going punk as a result. The punk lifestyle just makes sense for most animals, since they already make a mess of their homes and bathing is not required, and they really enjoy tearing it up in the mosh pit. Plus they're constantly tearing their clothes with their nails, so they're always gonna sport a punk style whether they like it or not!

Get dressed up for fun with this Punk Panda t-shirt by Ronn Kools, it's the fun way to show the world you're an animal lover without losing your edge.

TotoroooOOOooo by Vinny Palmer

Some people get geared up for Halloween earlier than others, but every day is Halloween for Totoro so this pic was taken on a Tuesday in April. Totoro does get really excited about the Thirteen Days of Halloween though, because it's a special time when he and the rest of the spooky critters who hang out in the forest can walk among humans as themselves. So if you see someone in a Totoro costume look for a zipper- because you might be looking at a real life forest guardian instead of a costume!

Get ready for Halloween the fun way- with this TotoroooOOOooo t-shirt by Vinny Palmer, featuring a spook-tacular design that will make people smile wherever you go!

Many of Walt Disney's early movies feature a common theme of the main character losing, or having already lost, their mother- Bambi's mother was shot, Dumbo's mom was locked up and Cinderella's mom died before the film's storyline began.

These themes, like many others present in Disney films, weren't included simply to cause an emotional reaction, they were included as a nod to Disney's own life.

Walt Disney was doing so well with his animation studio by the 1940s that he bought his parents a new house, allowing them to share in his success.

But when it was discovered that the home's furnace was in need of repair Walt sent one of his studio hands over to fix it rather than calling a professional, which would prove to be a fatal act of frugality.

The housekeeper arrived one day to find Disney's parents unconscious on the floor, poisoned by a gas leak. She pulled Walt's parents outside as quickly as she could, which saved Elias Disney's life, but sadly his mother Flora was already dead.

Disney never forgave himself for making such a terrible mistake, and the theme of a dead or missing mother became a common tragic thread that connects most Disney films.

Wine was considered an everyman's drink for centuries, but somewhere along the way the elitists in the world decided wine was an upper class quaff and unsuitable for broke folks.

But, as the number of wine makers grew and the drinking of wine became a daily affair once again, the prices came down and good wine became affordable for all as it should be...and then things got weird.

Now from the makers of Forty Ounce Rosé comes Forty Ounce Red- 40 oz. bottles of red wine for people who want to drink like an OG but don't like malt liquor.

Each one holds about 1.5 regular bottles of wine and costs about sixteen bucks, but if someone asks you to play Edward Fortyhands with these 40s just say no!

According to pop culture pirates love parrots, and even though real life pirates kept all kinds of birds as feathered status symbols the parrot will always be associated with pirates thanks to Long John Silver from Treasure Island.

So now that parrots are eternally connected to pirates it's about time someone opens up a parrot shop that caters to pirates, one which is on an island so they can sail right up, grab a bird and go.

Just make sure the shop appeals to gross and grimy pirates, because ugly parrots need love too!

Parrot Away was created by third year animation students at The Animation Workshop in Denmark, but it seems like it was made by veteran animators- because it's entertaining from beginning to end!

It helps to add a bit of humor to your presentation if you want to make it more memorable, and adding funny slides and sayings will definitely make your speech go over better with your audience.

Just make sure the audience is laughing at your jokes and not cracking up at your dumb slide full of stupid work phrases spelled out in hideous fonts.

Making sure the joke matches the subject matter is always a good way to get a laugh, and college professors truly excel at creating Powerpoint slides their students will never forget.

But Powerpoint presentations aren't just for high school and college students anymore, check out this howling good slide created by a third grader for a presentation on wolves:

Serene-ity by Truly Madly Geekly 

Captain Mal realized there was something wrong with Serenity the minute he got his ship back, and he didn't even have to look her over to realize she was not the same gal he'd been flying through the 'verse for the last twenty years. But that was to be expected, since the Reavers don't steal ships without modding them all to hell, and Mal had taken his sweet time getting her back so they had time to do some pretty deep mods. And yet hearing Serenity talk to him in her own sultry and smoky voice, and having her stare at him with big ol' cartoon eyes and smile at her with that newly installed cheesy grin of hers, well that was too much for Mal to handle! Wash, on the other hand, saw the mods as a dream come true...

Show your unique love for the greatest cancelled sci-fi show of all time with this Serene-ity t-shirt by Truly Madly Geeky, it's sure to make your fellow fans smile wherever you go!

Many Scottish people speak three different languages at home- Gaelic, English and Scots, a Germanic language spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster.

Since English is the newer of the three languages spoken by Scots they often have trouble pronouncing English words, a fact which the Brits love to tease them about incessantly.

YouTuber WeeScottishLass bravely submitted her mouth to the challenge to see if she could prove the sterotype wrong by perfectly pronouncing those English words that supposedly give Scots trouble, starting with the name "Carl". Is Rick Grimes Scottish?

When our furry family members are in trouble we come to their aid just as quickly as we would if one of our human kids needed help, proving how much we value our pet's lives.

51-year-old Paul Stott was out for a stroll on a Northumberland beach with his little Chihuahua mix Dave  when poor Dave was swallowed up by a pool of quicksand.

Paul wasn't sure how to rescue little Dave but didn't hesitate either- he reached right into the quicksand pool and yanked the poor little guy out.

Paul's quick thinking kept Dave from becoming quicksand food, and now Dave's story will serve as a warning to other dog owners about the dangerous quicksand pools on the beach.

Here's Paul demonstrating how deep the quicksand pool is, and how far in he had to reach to grab poor Dave:

We're taught in school that the most important inventions created by Black people are peanut butter, blood banks and the sidewalk mailbox, but the history books continue to overlook a more recent yet equally important contributor- Jerry Lawson.

Jerry was a self-taught engineer who gave us one of the greatest, and most fun, technological leaps forward in human history- the video game console.

While working as head of engineering and marketing at Fairchild Semiconductor in the mid-70s Jerry created the Fairchild Channel F gaming console, the first cartridge-based console, which was released in 1976.

The Channel F had interchangeable cartridges so players could expand their library with new games, before that gaming "consoles" were stuck playing the one game programmed directly into the hardware.

Jerry Lawson's legacy was overshadowed by big names like Atari and Coleco, but Jerry truly deserves to be seen as one of the most important Black inventors of all time for his contribution to our entertainment lovin' lives.

PICKS...or it didn't happen! by Raven Amos

People are making all kinds of wild and crazy claims these days, claiming their feelings trump scientific findings and knowledge that was readily accepted until people decided crackpots know better than trained and educated scientists. To those people I say this- put your pick where your mouth is, in other words PROVE IT! Sciences such as geology, archaeology and anthropology have cold, hard physical proof they can show you that perfectly prove their theories and findings are correct, so what do you have to prove they're wrong? Yeah, that's what I thought...

Make sure you're looking sharp while you make your way through this world full of "alternative facts" fans with this PICKS...Or It Didn't Happen! t-shirt by Raven Amos, it's the perfect way to say you prefer scientific proof over crackpot theories!

The white supremacists who are making America hate again seem to be a mighty confused bunch, because they claim other races are inferior yet they appropriate whatever they want from other cultures without a second thought.

They carry tiki torches to Neo-Nazi rallies, pledge allegiance to an old German regime and an even older Confederate state even if they're not from the South, and yet they claim to be the most tried and true patriots in the United States of 'Murica.

These hate groups also seem to have a fetish for Asian symbols which, as this VICE News video shows, can be traced back to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the original racist appropriators of Asian symbology.

Before Players one and two are handed a newborn baby and officially begin their first quest in the strange and wondrous game called Parenthood they have to go through the longest intro sequence ever.

This intro sequence isn't much fun for the mother carrying the child, but it does prepare her for the fact that nearly every quest in Parenthood will be an escort quest- and the wee one has a very small health bar.

And, as this comic by Andy Kluthe and Andrew Bridgman shows, Parenthood is full of stealth, danger and toxic fluids, but if you're lucky you'll survive to play Parenthood 2: The Next Batch.

If you think being a parent to a human child is hard imagine raising a litter of hyperactive puppies who don't ever seem to want to cooperate, let alone give their poor doggy parent time to relax.

This is probably one of the reasons why so many animal parents stop caring for their kids as soon as they can take care of themselves, but dogs typically take care of their pups for at least the first two to three months of their lives.

So what is a German Shepherd mommy to do when her little ones seem to have an unlimited supply of puppy energy? She has to come up with a creative way to tire them out, preferably one which involves the shepherd half of her DNA.
