This poor cat had a fungal infection

So her owner applied a turmeric scrub to cure it

Supamas was worried about her cat’s infection so she asked her mother for advice. She suggested applying turmeric—an Indian spice and medicinal herb used to treat infections. “My cat Ka-Pwong had ringworm, we did everything to cure it, but nothing worked. That was when my mother had the idea of using turmeric. At first, she painted it on the ringworm but as there was a lot left, she decided to paint the whole body to prevent future mycoses,” said Supamas to Bored Panda.

Unfortunately, the turmeric scrub changed the color of her fur but seemed to have worked

However, once this Indian spice was applied to Ka-Pwong’s distinct white fur, it immediately turned it yellow. Moreover, the problem appeared when it came to washing the distinct color off as it wouldn’t wash off. As her whole body was covered in turmeric to prevent the infection from spreading further, the poor cat turned into a yellow creature. Much like Pikachu from the animated series Pokemon. “My cat may not even know it turns yellow now. Now the cat is cheerful and eats a lot as usual.”

However, the poor cat turned yellow

To everyone’s concern, the owner reassured people that the Indian spice helped to cure Ka-Pwong’s infection. It “reduced itching and not licking the wound area.” However, the treatment shouldn’t be repeated without consulting a vet. Supamas says that she hopes that the color will fade away in 3 months and her fur will change. “I hope the fungus is cured, I still have to hope that my cat will turn white as well.”

Here’s how she looked before and after the turmeric scrub

The owner thought that she looked like Pikachu so she photoshopped a few features onto her photos

Parrots are smart and mischievous animals that are known for their ability to speak and mimic voices. This is also what makes them adorable pets but can also get them in trouble if they learn the wrong words. And this happens with Five African grey parrots adopted by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. They have recently been removed from public view and separated after starting swearing at customers. These parrots taught each other to swear during the quarantine. Luckily, everyone saw it a hilarious situation and nobody was offended.

The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park adopted 5 parrots namely Billy, Elsie, Eric, Jade, and Tyson in mid-August. However, these newcomers began encouraging the others to curse like sailors while in quarantine together. And this ends up with bad language at customers.

According to Steve Nichols, the CEO of Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, the parrots are doing very well after being separated and fit in very quickly as highly social creatures.

These five African grey parrots began swearing at customers, so they were separated and removed from public view. Luckily, nobody felt offended.

Nichols confirmed to Bored Panda that the swearwords the parrots uttered were “very strong”. He added that he’s yet to meet someone who doesn’t regret teaching their parrots to swear.

Nichols said that it isn’t difficult to make parrots forget certain words or phrases: “They will eventually be integrated into a flock of over 200 African greys and hopefully they will have way too much on their minds.”

The staff had hoped that being outside would help the parrots learn to mind their words. Whenever they got a response from someone, this just encouraged them to keep swearing.

“We saw it very quickly—we are quite used to parrots swearing but we’ve never had five at the same time. Most parrots clam up outside, but for some reason, these five relish it,” the Nichols told PA.

Now, these parrots are separated and placed in different areas of the zoo so they don’t encourage each other to swear. Even though nobody complained about the mouthy birds, their separation is essential. This helps protect young visitors and hope that the parrots would pick up the natural calls of other African greys.

“People have come to us but they think it’s highly amusing, we haven’t had one complaint. When a parrot tells you to [eff] off, it amuses people very highly. It’s brought a big smile to a really hard year,” Nichols said.

The five African grey parrots aren’t the renowned birds at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. The zoo also has Chico, a parrot who made headlines earlier in September after learning to sing pop songs, including Beyoncé’s 2008 single, ‘If I Were A Boy.’

The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park spreads over 650k square feet of Nature Reserve and is the United Kingdom’s premier Animal Rehabilitation Center. It has over 2k residents and is home to The National Parrot Sanctuary which is the largest of its kind in the world. The park has rescued more parrots than anyone in the United Kingdom.

We all know sleep is a fundamental part of life. You need it, your pet needs it, and even wild animals need it. Sleep helps animals consolidate memories and learn, which is why animals with larger brains need more sleep than others. Some animals even spend way more time asleep every single day than humans do. However, animals, especially animals in the wild, don’t have sleeping masks or safe and comfortable places to help them get the sleep they need. Therefore, they have to find some ways to help them sleep better in their environment.

Our pets are luckier than other animals because they have happy houses where they can sleep soundly beside loving owners. And if you are a pet owner, we are sure that you really love to see their fluffy friends when they are sleeping. They sleep on their side are very comfortable with their environment and trust their owners completely. For this reason, we have collected the most adorable photos of sleeping animals that will warm your heart and make you want to join them. Scroll down to enjoy!

Meeting someone for the first time can be an extremely nerve-wracking experience, so some of our most memorable moments often come from these meetings, and animals are no exception.

Nature gives life to animals and plants with enviable colors we are used to seeing colorful furs, butterflies with peculiar shades, peacocks with colored tails like a rainbow. But even animal species can be born with peculiar albinism. It is a genetic pigmentation disorder that changes the color of the skin or hair, which turns white or pink. Eye color also changes often. While animals with albinism are at greater risk – as albinism means poorer eyesight and a greater chance of being seen by predators – their beauty is unmistakable and these 15 photos prove it.

#1. This little turtle swims with the others, and in the midst of its companions, it is distinguished by its color.

It’s a heartbreaking reality that many dogs are abandoned by their humans. A beautiful dog was tied to a tree in the middle of a deserted area of Argentina, in Merlo. He had been left without food and water for days, and showed signs of having suffered physical abuse.

For the local residents, who luckily found the puppy in time to save him, there was no doubt. They had left him there with the intention that he would lose his life in total loneliness.

He didn’t allow anyone to come and help him for fear of receiving more mistreatment from humans.

But helping the furry one was not easy. That’s because, after his bitter experience, it was impossible for him to trust humans. So the neighbors contacted an NGO in the same area, lead by Macarena Medina, who coordinates the animal shelter called Zaguates.

By then, the puppy had been tied to the tree for about 4 days. Social networks, under the hashtag @zaguatesrefugio, mobilized to help him and managed to transport him in a car, even though he behaved aggressively to protect himself.

He was so affected by what he had been through that they had to sedate him to help him.

It was then that the former Argentinean soccer player Juan Sebastián Verón, known as “La Brujita Verón”, contacted the animal shelter. He wanted to adopt the puppy, whom he affectionately named Ramón.

To confirm that he was in good hands, Macarena made sure that Sebastián had no children or other pets at home, as well as having previous experience with Ramón’s breed. The former player met each of the adoption requirements and looked forward to the arrival of the puppy in his new home.

The followers of “La Brujita Verón” voted on the name the dog would have.

Great was everyone’s surprise when, upon arriving at the former soccer player’s home, the puppy’s behavior changed immediately. Sebastian received him as if they had known each other forever, and the canine responded to his friendship. He was the right person!

“When he arrived at the apartment, Sebastián received him as if he had known him forever. I was a little tired, but then they went out for a walk and the dog behaved perfectly on the street”, said Macarena.

The relationship between human and dog has not stopped getting better and better. Being the clearest evidence of the pure heart of animals, regardless of the breed in question.

“The gratitude of a dog can be seen in this bulldog. A dog that was mistreated, thrown away to die, now you see how he fills Verón with kisses”, said Macarena.

Now he can finally be happy.

Share this touching story with a happy ending with all your friends. And help raise awareness about animal adoption.
