No matter how much we love animals and know about animals, there is always so much more to learn. That's one of our favorite things about the animal world. There are always more facts about animals - more than you will ever know. The other thing that we love so much about nature and animal facts is how heckin' funny and weird facts about animals can be. 

Today, we're giving you funny yet informative facts about cat - twitter style. It's time to laugh and learn all at once, and get to know some more important stuff about our adorable little kitty cats. 

Declawing a cat is something awful. Taking away something that is natural to then, that is so necessary for their wellbeing is something that we should avoid as much as possible. Yet, we do understand the struggle of some cat owners with cats that are more feisty than most who always, always scratch their furniture. 

Still, there are other options available for preventing your cat from destroying your furniture outside of declawing them, and this twitter thread by @KikiDoodleTweet that is going viral gives you all of the alternatives- with videos to to support their statements and links to items that you can purchase.

So well, apparently, emojis can be a blind person's waking nightmare due to the "read text" function. Apparently, the phone describes each emoji in detail. This can make for quite the time-consuming process. Hopefully folks read this, and spare future conversations from the pains of emojis being vividly described.

Every cat owner has experienced that mysterious phenomenon of their cat sitting in some place that they shouldn't - from boxes to random books to whatever container they can fit in. If it fits, I sits, that is indeed the saying. We have even seen that cats will sit on flat, square-shaped objects on the floor. But have you ever thought about why they do it - what is this magnetic pull towards the square that we cannot see and do not understand? Well, scientists are now officially studying the phenomenon. 

Sure, we must learn history or else we're doomed to repeat it. But mostly we learn history so we can understand sweet history memes for the splendiferously learned. Why study anything else when there are Great Emu War and Mongol expansion references to be made? It's time for those delectable history memes to become one with time.

Every one of us will have a time in our life when we realize something too late. It may have been super obvious all along, or it may have taken some thinking. Either way, that satisfying  "aha!" moment feels the same. For dumber realizations, here are really obvious things people realized way too late.

Time to learn and laugh at the time time, because when twitter decides to teach you something about dogs, it is bound to be funny. A desperate plea for information about dachshunds from a very confused dog owner went viral, and people replied in the masses, sharing stories about not only their experiences with meeting dachshunds and raising dachshunds but also actual information that'll teach you why these small pooches behave the way they do. 

This is the perfect thread for all of us confused dog lovers out there that want to learn but have no patience for it, because with funny viral tweets like these, you will not be able to stop reading even if you wanted to. So, enjoy, and next time you'll walk past a dachshund, at least you'll know why it's attempting to kill you.

Many of us could've massively benefited from being provided some kind of lifelong instruction manual for all the speed bumps and unanticipated, disorienting hurdles that we encounter as human beings living on this strange planet. Some phases of life are certainly easier than others, but we could all use some extra life pro tips to stow away in our back pockets to make this whole life thing a little less difficult. 

For a whole lot of people, sex ed was more of a fear factory than a sober discussion of scientific facts, and it's really weird how much unverified information and questionable analogies people are prepared to hare in order to get kids to do what they want. Yeah, a lot of awkward sex questions get asked in sex ed, but at least they sometimes get answered.

This enlightening Tumblr thread seeks to break down some commonly held misconceptions about farming practices. It's pretty evident that whoever chimes in on this post wants folks to embrace local farming. But with that being said, always fun to learn some new stuff.

There is beauty everywhere in nature, even in the places you least expect it. You walk around outside, and every time you do, you see birds - some of them beautiful, some of them less so. But not many of you have probably stopped to admire the beauty of a pigeon. We're used to common pigeons, so we don't think about them too much, but when we see a special pigeon colored like the rainbow... well, that catches our eye. 

And it definitely caught twitter's eye, with a tweet about the pink-necked green pigeon going viral, people admiring its beauty. And luckily, there was a pigeon expert at hand to explain to us exactly what this rainbow-colored beauty is. 

You know how you're in love with dogs? And by extent, any dog-looking this is also something that you want to pet? Yeah, we love wolves too, but... how big and dangerous are wolves actually? Because as far as we see, wolves are super affectionate, and they're the biggest goofballs, and yes, to us, they are basically dogs. 

Well, tumblr is about to give you a reality check by showing you just how big wolves are... But if you're anything like us, them being totally dangerous, enormous, and not always dog-like in behavior is... not going to stop you even slightly from wanting to cuddle them.

If you're anything like I was before I adopted a cat, you know three things: you loves cats, you want a cat, and you don't know the first thing about taking care of them. That shouldn't stop you from adopting a cat, not if you want to give it love and cuddles and the best life it can have.

Of course, you can always go on the internet and look for information about raising cats, that's what I did, but the information is scattered, and it can be hard to filter through what you really need to know and what you don't. Thankfully, carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory on tumblr decided to collect all the information that you need and put it in one place, creating the ultimate guide to cat adoption that will answer most, if not all, of your questions and make the process of getting a cat a much less scary one.

We absolutely adore our pets, no matter what crazy shenanigans they may get into or how often they keep us awake at night. The alternative to living a life without a pet just sounds so... lonely. If you're a pet owner, you'd want the absolute best for your best friend because you love them. Well. here are some really helpful tips that may just take you from being a good pet owner to being a great pet owner. 

When it comes to animals, vets have quite a difficult job. To be a vet you must love animals, yet you often sick animals and sometimes, even have to help them cross over the rainbow bridge. It's definitely no easy task and we can't help but admire their strength.

Thanks to Redditor, u/mrktx21, a question to the Reddit community about what veterinarians wish people knew and understood about their pets has gone viral, and within the thread is a lot of valuable and excellent information. 

More and more history is being made every day, so naturally people are gonna make history memes about it. Sure, it's probably more helpful to learn about the Spanish Inquisition in an actual book, but history memes are pretty good too. They're like 90 percent as good, probably. Yeah, that sounds right.
