It’s not a surprise to pet owners that sometimes pets get on your nerves. Every pet has their own personality and can sometimes be a pain in the posterior when their quirks clash with yours. But you’re the human and the one with opposable thumbs so you adapt to their weird habits while continuing to be the one to open their treats.

Surely there are things about humans that pets probably don’t like but since they can’t talk, we will likely never know. It doesn’t make their behaviors any less annoying so one cat mom decided to get back at her cat Aurora for all of her cat behaviors–like biscuit making.

Of course it would be much more beneficial if the biscuits Aurora made were real, edible and brought in a decent income but alas they are not. They’re simply imaginary biscuits made on the soft smushy flesh of humans.

Cats “make biscuits” or kneed when they’re feeling happy and feeling secure according to Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital. It’s a sweet show of affection that can be painful for the person on the receiving end. It’s also an activity that seems to be timed for maximum inconvenience so Aurora’s mom decided to return the favor.

She waited until the cat was sleeping to make her move, sneaking up on the comfy feline to make biscuits on her belly. The pay back shenanigans didn’t stop there, though. Aurora’s human wanted the cat to get the full affect of what it was like to be interrupted with the goings on of felines so in another video, she had to get a hairball out right next to the resting cat’s head. You know, it wouldn’t come out anywhere else.

NOT SO FUN NOW IS IT #catsoftiktok #cattok

“I didn’t see her spring into action and tote you off to a safe place to expel your fur ball,” a commenter writes.

“Ugh they’re so dramatic when you do anything back to them,” someone comments.

In one video, Aurora’s mom gets random nigh-time zoomies during the day. Annoyingly running quickly back and forth, spinning in circles as the tabby cat looks unamused.

I awoken the locus outside 😂 #catsoftiktok #cattok

The cat was equally unimpressed with her mom’s hunting skills when she brought Aurora a dead bug as a gift. Maybe she thought the gift could’ve been bigger or maybe she didn’t like mom encroaching on her hunting territory. The world will never know.

“She’s like how dare you think I’m a bad hunter,” one person laughs.

“She said this is why I bring you food and not the other way around,” another person says.

You can follow Aurora and her human on their TikTok page roro.cat to see some of the latest shenanigans they’re up to and maybe join in on their fun.

I think she liked it! #catsoftiktok #cattok

It’s been around 20,000 years since dogs were first domesticated to live alongside humans as companions and helpers. But dogs’ ability to detect specific medical problems and alert people to them has only been purposefully honed in the past 100 years or so.

Thanks to social media, the incredible abilities of trained dogs to do life-saving work is becoming more visible. People who use medical alert dogs to recognize signs that humans might miss have been sharing what it looks like when their dogs are doing their job, and it’s quite remarkable to witness.

In a video that’s been viewed 2 million times on Instagram, one family shared what happened when their English lab, Spy, sensed something wrong with his family member who has type 1 diabetes. The young girl was asleep, and her parents had just done a pump change and given her insulin an hour before, so they had no reason to think anything might be wrong.

---

But Spy knew otherwise. Diabetes service dogs can tell when something goes awry with a diabetic person’s blood sugar. According to The diaTribe Foundation, Diabetic Alert Dogs (or DADs) are trained to smell compounds that are released from someone’s body when their blood sugar is too high or too low. Scientists aren’t entirely sure what the dogs are smelling, but the research indicates it’s likely ketones for high blood sugar and a natural chemical called isoprene for low blood sugar. Whatever it is, dogs can smell it, and when they do, they’re trained to alert someone.

Watch Spy get her owners’ attention and lead them to their daughter’s room where something had gone wrong:

A normal blood sugar ranges from around 70 to around 150, so well into the 300s is not good. Spy was so diligent in getting her people’s attention, taking them to where the problem was and and making sure they were attending to their daughter, and people loved seeing her in action.

“This gives me chills, good Spy! She takes such good care of her girl,” wrote another.

“Does Spy have a medical office, because I’m only trusting his medical advice from this day forward…” wrote one commenter.

“That’s cool, my dog’s special talent is vomiting when she doesn’t get enough attention,” joked one person.

“For those who don’t know, a medical alert animal will always come and find someone when their person needs help. So if you see one looking at you, follow them. You will help save a life,” shared another.

Some people shared that they’ve had or known dogs who could detect when a diabetic family members blood sugar was off, even when they weren’t trained for it, showing how some dogs seem to be made for this kind of service. It’s been estimated that a dog’s sense of smell is 1,000 to 10,000 times stronger than a human’s. Dogs also have good scent memory, which makes them ideal helpers for medical conditions that include body scent signals that humans can’t detect but dogs can.

People often say we don’t deserve dogs, and when you see a medical alert dog in action it’s hard to argue otherwise. Learn more about medical service dogs here and follow @ouronederfulboggslife on Instagram, where Spy helps her family educate people about living with type 1 diabetes, here.

Tonight (December 12), iHeartRadio is bringing its Jingle Ball Tour to Philadelphia, with a complete lineup of performers to carry the holiday cheer. The event, which is being held at Wells Fargo Center, also selected the acts to span genres, giving a wide-ranging selection for those in the audience.

Here’s what to expect.

What Is The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Philadelphia Lineup?

Tonight’s lineup for the Philly stop of the Jingle Ball Tour will feature Usher, who was previously continuing his Vegas residency. OneRepublic and Jelly Roll are set to play, too. Some other acts on the bill include Big Time Rush (who got their start as a band through a Nickelodeon show), rising rapper Doechii, K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE, and David Kushner.

The show will start at 7:30 p.m. ET, according to iHeartRadio’s website. Tickets for tonight’s event are also still available for those considering attending last-minute, starting at $46, with more information available through Ticketmaster.

For those who are attending another upcoming stop of the Jingle Ball Tour, the lineup varies from city to city, so be sure to check elsewhere to see who’s made the list for the selected show. (The final Jingle Ball Tour date is this Saturday, December 16, in Florida.)

Las Vegas residencies are all the rage these days after formerly being thought of as the realm of the washed. Adele just extended hers another several months, Usher just wrapped his up, and the Sphere’s owners are allegedly looking into the pricey proposition of convincing Beyoncé to take her talents to the Strip.

But if those big-voice singers aren’t your wave — let’s say you’re looking for something… grittier — I have some good news: Hip-hop is getting in on the action, beginning with Wu-Tang Clan, who announced a four-show homestand at Virgin Hotel to kick off (heh) Super Bowl weekend, with more dates to come.

Tickets for the residency go on sale on Friday, December 15, while the four shows will include February 9 and 10 and March 22 and 23. Future dates are expected to be announced in the coming months (presumably after receipts from the first four shows are tallied up).

The Clan has been active creatively lately, with RZA producing a symphony concert to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the group’s seminal debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and the group as a whole touring throughout North America with De La Soul and Nas. The group also participated in the BET Hip Hop Awards’ Hip-Hop 50 tribute.

New TV releases taken a bit of a breather for the holiday season, but Amazon Prime subscribers will still find some Jack Reacher under their trees. The hulking loner with massive hands will return alongside members of his old U.S. Army Special Investigations unit as the attempt to solve a new mystery together. Yep, it is officially teamwork time, so get ready for some jokes at Reacher’s expense.

Don’t worry, you don’t actually have to wait until Christmas Day for Season 2’s premiere unless you want to do so. The series has been officially set in stone for a December 15 release, which still stands, but a slight shift is also available. The season will actually bump up to “December 14, 7:00 PM ET” for those who want to get a jump on watching Reacher eat a horrible diet while still somehow staying cut. This season is based upon the Bad Luck and Trouble book from Lee Childs, and here’s the synopsis:

Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking, switchblade-wielding family man David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos) … Reacher will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect the members of his unit. If there’s one thing Reacher and his team know for certain, it’s that you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, get ready for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard.

Reacher returns on December 15 14 with three episodes and weekly followups.

Are you still looking for the perfect gift to give to your insufferable MAGA-loving relative this Christmas? Well look no further!

On Tuesday, former president Donald Trump announced that he’s selling NFTs of his scowling, internet-breaking mugshot. If you act now, you can even get a piece of the suit that he wore when he surrounded to authorities. “Due to the great Excitement and Success of my previous TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, we’re doing it again – The MugShot Edition, available RIGHT NOW,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Plus, buy 47 cards and get a piece of the suit I wore for the ‘Mugshot Photo,’ and also get an invite to a Gala Dinner with me at Mar-a-Lago! Don’t wait, they’ll go FAST (I believe!). I’m happy if you’re happy. Have fun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”

In a video to accompany the post, Trump referred to himself as “your favorite president” before describing the cards, many of which have him dressed up as off-brand superheroes. “Some people call these cards pop art or modern art. I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you. They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.” That’s the most humble thing Trump has ever said — unlike on the website for the cards, which describes the suit and tie he wore in his mugshot as the “most historically significant artifact in United States history.” Take that, U.S. Constitution.

You can see the hideous cards for yourself here.

Last spring, Jack Black was an evil singing turtle. Next spring, Jack Black will be a kung fu-fighting panda for the fourth time. This is the type of consistency that Hollywood, and the world in general, needs.

Kung Fu Panda 4, Black’s latest kung fu adventure film, will hit theaters on March 8th, 2024. Black will be voicing Poe, the titular panda, as he embarks on a whole new journey. This time, Poe needs to train a new Dragon Warrior to take over his place when he retires, so he enlists some new friends. But you can’t have new friends without making a few enemies. Here is the official synopsis:

Po is gearing up to become the spiritual leader of his Valley of Peace, but also needs someone to take his place as Dragon Warrior. As such, he will train a new kung fu practitioner for the spot and will encounter a villain called the Chameleon who conjures villains from the past.

To celebrate, Black posted a TikTok to announce the “newest member of the Kung Fu Panda family,” none other than Viola Davis. Davis will portray a new shape-shifting chameleon who is bound to have some tricks up her scaley sleeves. Black also announced that Awkwafina will portray Zhen, a new fox character in the Kung Fu Panda universe.

The stacked cast also includes Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Ke Huy Quan, Dustin Hoffman, Bryan Cranston, James Hong, and Ian McShane. You can catch the movie in theaters on March 8th.

Slow Horses, the Apple TV+ spy series starring Gary Oldman, has been racking up rave reviews, and that’s particularly true with Season 3, which arrived with a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The show centers around a group of disgraced M15 agents who are unceremoniously dumped in a dead-end department known as Slough House where they’re led by Oldman’s frumpy and disgruntled Jackson Lamb. While they’re not the sexiest agents around, they do get the job done despite being looked down upon by their superiors and colleagues.

With Season 3 now entering the back half of its six-episode run, fans of the Gary Oldman spy series are curious to know when Episode 4 will start streaming. We got you covered.

When Will ‘Slow Horses’ Season 3, Episode 4 Come Out?

Slow Horses Season 3, Episode 4 will be available for streaming on December 13 at 12 AM EST. Only two episodes remain, which will wrap up the new season by the end of the year as the series continues with its weekly release schedule.

Here’s the official synopsis for Season 3 that’s based on Real Tigers, the third book in the Slough House series by Mick Herron:

“Slow Horses” is darkly funny espionage drama that follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes. In season three, a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatens to expose a buried MI5 secret in London. When Jackson Lamb (Academy Award winner Gary Oldman) and his team of misfits are dragged into the fight, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.

Slow Horses Season 3 streams new episodes Wednesdays on Apple TV+.

With Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign hosting a listing for their upcoming joint album Vultures, fans have begun speculating about whether or not the album will be accompanied by a tour. Ever since Kanye’s antisemitism scandal, he hasn’t exactly had potential sponsors leaping at the chance to work with him (especially with the contemporary political climate). But that hasn’t stopped a variety of profiles on Twitter (which still says “Twitter” in the URL so shoo with all that “X” talk) from posting screenshots of a purported “merch site” listing concert tickets for a Vultures World Tour.

The site has supposedly been deactivated, but at this point, premature announcements and half-baked ideas are par for the course for Kanye, who gave a quarter-hearted attempt at running for president in 2020, slapped together the last few rus of his YZY Supply fashion line, was apparently a terrible business partner at Adidas, rarely showing up for meetings and playing porn for other attendees if he ever did show up, and announcing a “worldwide listening event” for Vultures, only to scale it down to a “rave” in Miami when he finally realized that no venues at the scale he envisioned want to work with him anymore. Because, again, he’s said some truly wild stuff — like “praising Hitler” wild — in his efforts to be an “edgy” artiste. Welcome to the edge, I guess.

If you’re one of those people who is only too happy to get scammed by Ye — again — in the interest of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy nostalgia, keep an eye out. I’m sure there are still some backyards or skinhead rallies or something he can book.

Nicki Minaj announced the North American tour dates for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, in support of her recently-released album. However, some fans have some questions about the possibility of a Gag City tour — or if the two are the same thing. The internet has been buzzing about Minaj’s Gag City over the past few days.

Thankfully, we’re here to help clear things up. Here’s what to know.

Is Nicki Minaj’s “Gag City” Tour The Same As The Pink Friday 2 World Tour?

Right now, Nicki Minaj’s tour dates for her latest album are simply known as the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, including what is listed on Live Nation’s website. This doesn’t mean Gag City as a phrase has been completely ruled out, though. Instead, Minaj used it to title one of her VIP packages. The Gag City Headquarters package gives a bunch of exclusive perks, including access to a Minaj-themed lounge.

Fans online have also just started dubbing the Pink Friday 2 World Tour as the “Gag City Tour,” partially as a joke online — which has resulted in a bunch of memes. So, basically, they are the same thing if you do encounter it.
