There's been a bit of doom and gloom lately with regards to animals on this forum, and so I thought I'd start a nice and positive thread for our furry or not so furry friends.

Hello! I have a really lovely, beautiful and friendly animal, her name is Chloé and she is a British marbled shorthair cat!

She's lovely. Sorry, Keyser_Soze1, but I can't say the same about the beetle.

Another collection to melt the heart.

I just found out there is a big cat sancutary in Tenterden, which isn't far from me so I know where I'll be going for a visit soon!

That's more like it. Lovely pictures, especially the first one.
It is a very famous story, one wild Polar bear once befriended some huskies and then over the years brought all of his mates along to join in the fun.

They could so easily kill a dog with one swipe of their paw - but they enjoy playing with their canine friends instead.

There is tons about it on the net.

I've been there, some beautiful pussycats in there, I suggested to my wife that we steal a snow leopard.
She said that our cat-flap would have to be seriously enlarged, and the spring relaxed in case the snow leopard's tail got caught in it.

Ducklings and kittens float my boat when it comes to cuteness. I'll see if I can find some YT vids.

I'm excited to go! I'm hoping to stay in that area for a two day break later next month. Big cats are my favourite.

I'll never forget when I was going to airport during the late 1990s in a coach. We were going along the motorway when every car started stopping to let a mother duck and her ducklings cross the road. I will never forget them waddling by our bus. It was the most brilliant sight!

I suppose this is more about the humans than the animals but it's still quite heart-warming.........Brazilians rally to save beached dolphins and drag them back out to sea.....

She's gorgeous!

Here's one of my rescue cats - she's deaf and brain damaged and if she were human, she'd have gained several ASBOs by now. Her name is Weeble (because her brain damage makes her wobble) but she's also known as the Ginger Ninja or Naughty Torty. There are other names, but they're not polite...

Thanks for posting those pictures. Lovely to look at on a dreary, rainy morning here.

That has to be one of the cutest and hilarious (by the ducklings) vids ever, but they all made it in the end uninjured, which is good.

Another, but jumping down this time.

Thank you. She really is quite striking for a mongrel and she is super photogenic. She's a German Shorthaired Pointer crossed with a Jura Hound. They were actually going to put her to sleep at the pound when she was just a few weeks old - because they thought she was some kind of banned breed

Luckily a woman from a dog rescue charity paid for a DNA test for her.

So, cute. I love how baby ducklings follow their mothers everywhere.

Indeed. My favourite duck is the Mandarin duck. I've seen a few at Slapton Ley in Devon and at Paignton zoo.

I've also seen a Cirl Bunting. You'll be unlikely to see one anywhere in the UK unless you've been to south Devon. They are very rare in the UK.

My favourite member of the crow family is the (European) Jay.
