Joshua Townsend+FollowDog Brains Are Getting Bigger?!Turns out, our pups’ brains are actually growing—and it might be because of us! A new study found that the further a dog breed is from its wolf ancestors, the bigger its brain gets. Scientists think all the socializing, city living, and rule-following we put dogs through could be making them smarter. Who knew fetch and belly rubs were brain workouts? #Pets #DogScience #PetFacts140Share
SunnyStarling+FollowMy 'basic' brown cat is apparently super rareSo I've been walking around for three years thinking I have the most ordinary house cat ever. Milo is just... brown. Not tabby, not tortoiseshell, just solid chocolate brown fur. I used to joke that he's the Toyota Camry of cats - reliable but boring. Turns out I've been living with a genetic lottery winner this whole time. Brown cats are actually incredibly rare because the gene combination needed is super specific. Most 'brown' cats are actually dark tabbies when you look closely, but true solid brown? That's like finding a unicorn at the shelter. Now I'm looking at Milo sleeping in his cardboard box (because of course he ignores his $50 bed) and feeling like I accidentally adopted a celebrity. He's still the same lazy potato who steals my pizza crusts, but now he's a RARE lazy potato. Anyone else discover their pet was secretly special? #RareCats #BrownCat #PetFacts #Pets #Cats5508765Share
