No pet likes going to the vet, but this cockatoo is just not having it! According to his owner, “Max knows when he sees his carrier that it’s [time for] a visit to the vet and gets pretty vocal about it.”

In the video, the bird is heard having some choice words with Dad. He doesn’t want to go to the vet. The funny pet even hides under a table. The bird speaks in gibberish, but you can tell he isn’t a happy camper.

Even though his owner tries to explain to his bird that he needs regular visits to the veterinarian to stay happy and healthy, Max the cockatoo refuses to listen! He’s like a little kid, arguing with dad. And just when you think it can’t get any crazier, he makes his crest stand up to make his point. How funny!

This cockatoo is all sass and attitude. When he starts yelling, he sounds just like a toddler. It’ll make you laugh out loud.

When you think of factory farming and dangerous breeding rings, you probably think of cows, chickens, even puppy mills. 

The cute cat above wonders– “how did I get trapped into this circle?” Easy, his owner uncovered the 3 simple steps to tricking any cat!

Cats never want to do what you say, they have their own agendas to live by. But there is one way you can trick your cat into doing what you want. On Reddit it’s being called “Trick Your Cat With A Circle,” and entitles simply crafting a circle out of thick tape, or anything else, and waiting for your kitty to come prowling on over.

It might seem odd or silly, but cat owners everywhere are finding that their cat falls for the circle trick every time. So thanks to Internet via social media cat lovers have been conducting a little psychology test on cats, sans any fancy lab.

It started with a few people and then grew, all of which note the same cat behavior. Simply set up a circle and kitty cats will come. You can bust out the masking tape and call out your own furry cat to try this experiment for yourself. Here’s how to trap your cat in 3 simple steps!

Step #1: Set up your circle, or hexagon, trap.

Have you ever noticed how much cats enjoy a nice snug space to settle in? They like to hide under beds and beneath sofas, places most humans feel downright claustrophobic hanging out. That’s because cats find comfort in tight crevices, here they feel hidden, safe to take as long of a cat nap as they desire. Perhaps this cat psychology is what makes the cat trapping trick so successful.

Step #2: Wait for your kitty cat to discover your enclosed shape. Or, if you are not the patient type lure them over.

Step #3: Take a photo of your kitty unknowingly falling for your trick.

Go ahead, allow your cat to wonder, “what’s so funny?” Then, try using a new material to craft a circle and see if your cat falls for it once again.



Allow your cat to remain completely oblivious to your picture taking and chuckles.



Good luck getting your cat to leave the comfort of the circle, especially if it’s somewhere convenient, like right by the window.


After guremike.jp posted these photos of his cat loving the circle life, many others have followed suit. The results are the same time and time again– both kittens and cats can be trapped by the appeal of a circle.

One Imgur page titled “Cat Circles” holds an abundance of photographs showing off cats from all over the globe, each one enjoying some good old circle time. As more and more cat owners embark on the fun, photos are continually added highlighting the success of this seemingly fail-proof cat trick. Here are some of the hilarious photos:


Don’t have any tape on hand, grab a hulla-hoop instead!





Some users that have tried the trick at home find cats are even more prone to basking in the circle if you place it somewhere they are not supposed to go. Typical rebel feline behavior, right?!


With our without any real cat psychologists on board it appears there is something special about circles and cats. Perhaps after the flurry of posts hitting the web, real scientists will bring this discovery into the lab and uncover just how far cats will go to hang out in a safe circle space. Although it doesn’t have to be an exact circle, a lopsided hexagon or any other somewhat round shape seems to work just as well.

Conservation workers don’t normally intervene when nature takes hold of the animals who reside there. But on this particular day, they just could not sit by and watch a mother elephant die with her baby. A baby African elephant became stuck in a deep mud lagoon in Zambia. When the calf’s mother saw her fall and struggle, she attempted to rescue her — but she also sank in and got stuck. The deeper they sank, the higher their likelihood of death became.

By the grace of God, wildlife officials and conservationists saw the pair and snapped into action. For two whole hours, they battled against the heat as the mud began to dry.

As soon as they made progress and began pulling the calf to safety, the baby ran back into the mud to be with her mother. It’s incredible to see how she risked her own life to stay by her mom’s side.

After yet another two attempts, tireless effort, and tons of strength, the heroes were finally able to pull Mom out of the mud. Exhausted but grateful, she ran back to her herd and baby.

Check out the pics of the dramatic rescue below:
