thefluffingtonpost: Arizona Cat Suffers Bad Dreams A cat named Sabean (“Beans” to her friends) from Tucson, AZ has been unable to get a good night’s sleep due to recurring nightmares. “She dreams about tuna fisheries drying up, about birds taking over the world, a laser pointer she will never be able to catch,” says Dr. Mila Horn, Sabean’s therapist. “These all point to extreme anxiety. We’re trying to get to the root of her troubles.” Submitted by Morgan Williams.

thefluffingtonpost: Researchers Pinpoint World’s Laziest Cat After years of searching, researchers at Oxford University have finally located the laziest cat in the world. “His name is Seuss. He’s five years old, and lives in Brooklyn, NY,” says Francis Wall, who spearheaded the study. Determining a kitty’s “laziness quotient” isn’t easy. According to the Oxford team, it’s a complex calculation with factors like willingness to stand up, overall productivity and Cheeto consumption. “Finding the world’s laziest cat was a daunting task, but through trial and error and a lot of number crunching, we’re about 80% sure Seuss is it,” Wall tells The Fluffington Post.

njwight: This is Toby and I’m in love. A few months ago I began an incredible experience as a volunteer. Just outside of Montreal the Fauna Foundation provides a sanctuary for chimps, many of whom were rescued from medical research facilities. In fact, Fauna became home to 8 HIV animals, the first infected chimps to be released from labs to a sanctuary. I was very excited when Gloria Grow, the founder, asked me if I would like to photograph the chimps–it was truly a dream for me. It has been a remarkable journey, and a very challenging one as a photographer–and as a compassionate animal lover. I have not spoken about or shown any of my work from this incredible place…until now. I have been overwhelmed by their stories and captivated by the moments I have spent with these great, great apes. I have also been very unsure if I would be able to capture them to any degree close to how they have moved me. I have decided to start sharing some of my photos, and encounters, over the coming weeks. I hope I do them proud. (Visit faunachimps.tumblr, or http://www.faunafoundation.org  and make friends with the chimps.)
