It’s Official: This Is The Coolest 10-Year-Old Boy Ever

The hero! | Source: City Kitties

In my experience, 10-year-old boys are interested in a few things: grossing people out by doing weird stuff, playing video games, staying away from girls’ cooties and generally being a teensy bit annoying but making up for it by being cute. I have a godson this age guys, so I’m kind of an expert.

So imagine my surprise when I read about the seriously adorable 10-year-old Evan from Philadelphia, who spends his allowance on helping others rather than on toys or snacks or stuff like that. What is he donating his money to? A local cat rescue called City Kitties. I mean, seriously… could this story get any sweeter?

Apparently, Evan and his family adopted a beloved cat from City Kitties in 2009. Evan must have been really touched by what he saw going on in there, because after that, he started donating his allowance to City Kitties. He didn’t just give them his precious money, though – he sent handwritten notes along with the cash. One note goes like this (if you haven’t been smiling yet, you will definitely smile after you read this):

Dear City Kitties: My name is Evan and I am 7-years-old. And guess what? I LOVE cats! They are my favorite animals and I got my cat at City Kitties as well! THANK YOU for letting me get my new cat! I get an allowance every week and I chose to make a donation to you. I love that you help cats find homes. I saved this money to help you save cats.

UM. Is it weird that I want this kid to age about 10 years or 15 years overnight and then come be my boyfriend? Don’t answer that. This is the most heart-warming story I’ve read online in a while and I just can’t get enough of it. I mean, how many kids do you know who would willingly give away all of their money to a charity? I love all the kids I know, but I’m not sure they could be so committed.

The story gets even cuter, if that’s possible: after months of saving, Evan donated $46.75. City Kitties posted the note on their Facebook page, which went viral and inspired hundreds of people to match Evan’s donation. In 2010, he went a step a further by selling figs from his family’s fig tree to raise even more money. In 2011, Evan donated $97 and in 2012, he donated $101.

I realize that $46 in one year isn’t going to do a lot for a cat rescue shelter, but the amount of money isn’t the point here. The point is that this 10-year-old should be inspiring everyone at every age because of how selfless and thoughtful he is. He’s doing his best to save kittens and cats who have been abandoned and it’s awesome to see a boy this young do something so mature. So basically, this kid is my hero.

What do you think about this story? Have you ever donated your allowance to some kind of charity? Would you? Tell me in the comments.

Pawsome: Proof That Cats Inspired Emoticons

Jessica Booth — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 20:00:27 +0000

Here’s a question I’ve always wondered: where did Internet smiley faces come from? I mean, who decided to start combining different keys to make little faces, otherwise known as emoticons? I’m not complaining about them, because I might use them in every text I send, but I’m just wondering.

Well, my question has been answered… sort of. I don’t know who started this awesome trend, but I do know what inspired it: cats! Duh. Cats inspire pretty much everything. In case you’re not convinced, Buzzfeed has helpfully put together a little guide to show you the true inspiration behind some of our favorite emoticons. You’ll never look at a simple little smiley face again without thinking of these pictures, I promise:

If you’re anything like me, you’re going to be up most of tonight waiting to see the election results. I mean, this is a big deal! Whomever wins the presidency for the next four years will have a huge say over our rights, our money, and what kinds of services we have available to us.

That said? Watching political pundits blahblahblah about President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney for hours on end when they don’t even have much to say yet can get super boring AND frustrating. That’s where I come in with a brilliant solution for all you political-minded-but-easily-distracted ladies: Here’s A Live Stream Of Kittens! Kittens Playing! Kittens being cute! Kittens NOT running for president!

I found this live streaming kitten cam earlier today and have maybe had it going in the background on my computer ever since. I mean . . . how cute are they?!

Are you watching the election results tonight? Do you love this kitten cam as much as I do? Tell me in the comments!

Paw-Some: Angry Cats Are Still Really Cute Cats

Jessica Booth — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:00:13 +0000

"RARRRRR!"

Angry Cats
It’s no secret that we have a total love for cats over here at gURL.com. One of the best things about them? They have some pretty hysterical facial expressions, and for some reason, it’s really funny to see them get angry. And regardless of what they’re doing, they still manage to look totally adorable the entire time.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite GIF’s of angry cats. Take ‘em and use ‘em on your own Tumblr (GIF’s might be one of the best ways to show your emotions online, ever), or just look at them to get a quick laugh.

Sure, this cat looks harmless… until it strikes ninja-style.

This cat is a combination of bored/miserable/just plain angry. Definitely needs a hug.

“What did you just say to me?”

This fluffy little guy gives new meaning to evil eyes.

Does this kitten not remind you of a celeb being stalked by paparazzi?

“Can you get the camera out of my face? I just want to go sleep.”

Okay, well, no one can blame this cat for being angry… Just sayin.

Doing his best impression of a lion? We think so.

Honestly… we can’t tell if he’s mad at the blow-dryer, or actually enjoying it.

“What. Were. You. Thinking?!?”

Gurl — Thu, 19 May 2011 21:12:19 +0000

cute kitten, or cutest kitten?

Meet Pink Panther, a tiny little kitten who has totally stolen our hearts.

|Talk about the things you <3 on the Shout Out Boards!|

According to The Daily Mail, Pink Panther was “rescued by workers along with her two sisters and a tom cat – called Clouseau, Dusty and Cerise. It is thought that they came into contact with red pigment used in concrete manufacturing which had caused their unusual appearance.”

She’s currently getting nursed back to health and doctors say they’re hopeful that this kitty and her siblings “will fully recover and be able to enjoy a bright, but preferably not pink, future.”
