Let's talk about cat hair. It is literally everywhere. If you have a cat (or some other pet), then you already know that you can't escape the hair. Sure, you can fight it and have a 'no pets on the furniture' rule, but in the end, those hairs will be there because they are everywhere. Cat hairs are on your clothes, even clothes you have yet to wear. They are on you the second you leave the shower, and sometimes, they're in your food. Cat hair is in the air you constantly breath -- cat hair can find its way ANYWHERE. 

What can be done about this neverending hair attack? Well, you're in luck! In collaboration with popular Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we bring you this creative and funny take on what you can do with all that cat hair floating around!

And if you more cat enjoyment, be sure to check out Ilana's questionnaire on how spoiled your cat is! 

Another brilliant comic by the creator of 'Pixie and Brutus,' Ben Hed! Ben Hed, commonly known as @PetFoolery on Instagram, is constantly providing the world with hilarious and wholesome comics. 

This time, the artist has reimagined a classic, 'Clifford the Big Red Dog,' as 'Clifford the Big Red Cat.' And that's already has a ton of golden potential. A giant cat? Sign us up for the mayhem! 

If you're behind on your PetFoolery comics, we can get you up to speed with the new 'Pixie and Brutus' and all the recent Halloween comics. 

If you're in need of more crafty activities to do at home, welcome to the club. Today's activity is tie dyeing: it's super simple, only requires a few materials, and makes plain old clothes unique and fabulous. Check out our tutorial below for the crumpled style, or see the spiral style. Happy tie dyeing.

At this point we're all aware of the cursed nature of medieval cat art. Their strangely human painted faces are the stuff of bad trips, or for the innocent, nightmares. While we've learned to accept their demonic yet depressed vibe, Twitter user @DannyDutch has clued us into some more fascinating (and slightly freaky) medieval animal art. His thread boasts 17 examples of medieval artists saying "f*ck it, i think this is what xyz animal looks like." And while sometimes the artists hit the nail mostly on the head, some have left us either laughing at their absurdity or feeling slightly disturbed. However these artifacts make you feel, we can be sure of one thing: art and world travel have both come a long way since the Middle Ages.

Feeling tired of normie humor? This batch of memes is for you.

Sometimes teachers misjudge their students, like this teacher who underestimated their students during a social experiment. Other times, the powers that be can be mistaken and disrespectful, like this staff who made a student wait to report a fire. In this case, it was an art teacher who was soundly put in their place after handing down some harsh criticism. Art is subjective, anyway.

If there was a better way to troll entitled folks and their frustrating demands, well we'd have to see it. As for artists who deliberately make bad art to mess with people who want free stuff, we're all for it.

Ben Hed, commonly known as Pet_Foolery, has done it again! Besides his famous 'Pixie and Brutus' comics, he also creates any animal-related comics, and seems to really enjoy including dinosaurs into that animal-mix! 

And what's a better dinosaur film than Jurassic Park? If you have yet to see Jurassic Park (for some unknown and truly confusing reason), you may not understand just how "clever" this comic truly is. If you have seen the film, then you'll get it without question or a doubt. 

If you're looking for more dino-related comics by Ben Hed, we've got you covered! 

Many of us may not be able to visit museums due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we're happy to report that we've got the next best thing. Art memes. They combine the creativity and skill of our favorite eras of art with dumb and relatable humor. What more could you want? 

Boredom be gone! It's time to banish those cobwebs and the monotony and check out some funny memes. These memse will keep you busy and kick ennui to the curb.

Need an excuse to not do something? Is an essay due, the laundry needs to be hung, or you're hungry but can't be bothered to get up? Here's the perfect excuse. You must look at these GIFs now. Heh heh. 

A photo that can convey so much emotion, thought, and simplicity. Those photos are worth more than 1000 words. 

All of the following images below capture those elements, some beautifully, and others in a surprising, yet funny way. Even humorous images can say 1000 words without saying anything at all. 

If you want to be left even more speechless, check out last week's photos. 

Memes make it better. No matter how woebegone and morose you might be, you can always turn that frown upside down with some funny memes. What better way to waste away the day and forget about your strife, memes are one of the bare necessities of life.

Meet the talented Em Paquin, an animation student who desperately wanted a cat. We came across some of her lovely re-created digital paintings of popular cat images online and reached out to ask her to explain the meaning behind this project and the goal of painting 100 cats. 

Em explains that the project was originally titled, "Day __ of drawing cats until my parents let me adopt one." Em continues to reveal her longing for a cat of her own, "I wanted so desperately to adopt a cat, and being home for quarantine was the perfect time to introduce a new furball to the family. The only thing in my way was my parents who I've been living with, now that my college courses are online."

"These daily illustrations were a subtle way of voicing my wish to adopt a cat."

On day 21 of the project, Em brought home a new kitten named Beanie. However, Em realized how much she enjoyed drawing cats and wanted to push herself but taking it further, thus setting the goal of drawing 100 cats!

So, what will Em do the moment that goal is reached? Seeing as how she's already on Day 68, the 100th drawing isn't too far away. 

"After that goal is reached, they will probably continue, maybe for a year, or maybe I won't ever stop." 

Well, we're glad to hear that because we love them! Keep up the beautiful drawings, Em! Follow Em on Instagram for daily cat drawings!

The world has its unfair share of entitled folks and their frustrating demands. Sometimes people make such jaw-droppingly laughable "offers" that it's probably best to run away. For another wild piece of entitlement, here's an entitled parent who demanded a public artist make a piece just for them.

An ekans doesn't seem nearly as imposing when it looks like it could crawl out of a tailpipe. Many of us grew up with the global phenomenon of Pokémon searing its mark into our childhoods, and a lot of time has been lost on those games for good reason. This Tumblr Thread explains how the Pokémon probability system is madness. Also, here's a thread on why Mr. Mime is the creepiest Pokémon.
