f you’ve ever been around animals, you know they have a unique instinct and ability to perceive when something isn’t right. There are countless examples of this, but the story of a homeless cat named Masha in Russia might just be one of the most amazing yet.
All her life, Masha had lived on the cold streets of Obinisk, a city in Russia.
But don’t feel too bad for her, because thankfully there are many good-hearted people living in Masha’s neighborhood.
As you can see by her considerable size, she’s given food, and several residents also let Masha into their homes when it gets too cold in the evenings.
One of those residents is sixty-eight-year-old Irna Lavora, who rents a house in the area.
Irna was throwing out her garbage one day when she heard a strange noise that appeared to be coming from the basement. The more she listened, the more she realized that it was the sound of a cat mewing.
Instantly concerned that Masha might be hurt, Irna hurried down the stairs.
But what she discovered down in the chilly, damp cellar space shocked her.
There lay an abandoned boy in a cardboard box on the floor, and just next to him was Masha.
Authorities later determined that the tiny boy, estimated to be no more than twelve-weeks-old, had been lying alone in the box for several hours.
But thanks to Masha laying closely next to him, the baby stayed warm.
In other words, without Masha’s precious company — and body heat — the baby boy might not have made it.
The boy was rushed to hospital, but Masha’s motherly instincts didn’t let out when the ambulance arrived to take the boy to safety. According to the paramedics, the cat chased the ambulance after they had taken off.
Witnesses added that the cat continued to wait for hours in that same spot hoping for the ambulance to return.
“Masha is very calm and friendly, so when I heard her mewling, I at first thought she might have hurt herself. But clearly, it was just her maternal instincts taking over and she wanted to protect the child,” said Irna.
The little boy is said to have recovered well, and the police have launched a search for his parents.
And don’t worry about Masha — is being very well looked after by her neighbors and friends who have taken to “spoiling her rotten.”
A very well-deserved reward for a hero.

ou know who you are.
You’re the one who goes to the dog park because it’s okay to talk to the dogs and not the people. You establish dominance with your cat by waiting a full .03 seconds before you cave in and give them another treat.
In other words, you’ll relate to these hilarious tweets on a deeply, fur-covered level.

atherhood is no joke but, in order to survive it, you do have to keep a sense of humor. And dads, God love ’em, are normally known for their corny sense of humor.
But these guys here? They don’t mess around and sugarcoat things. They’re hilariously honest about being a dad, and thank goodness, they tweet it out.
If you ask me, they’re all vying for “Dad of the Year.”
The nightmares are everywhere.
And how fitting is that with the new IT movie coming out? Way to be topical, dad!
We can relate.
It only took 18+ years to get that damn car seat right, but you finally got it right and that’s what counts. Persistence.
Kid parties suck.
But at least have a little patience for your own kid’s party! Or at least pretend. Parenting involves a lot of pretending.
Gee, I wonder why?
Have you ever heard the phrase “nature vs nurture”..? Because this is probably the best example of that ever.
You gotta let ’em grow up sometime.
But you might just be hearing things… or your daughter has it all figured out.
Ryan Reynolds is the perfect dad.
And by perfect dad, we mean perfect looking dad.
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
Instead of “lying” most parents would probably prefer the word “pretending.” Parenting involves lots of “pretending,” like Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc…
Come to think of it, why do people lie to their kids so much?
This is a father who cares.
Also, shout out to box tops. Those are a thing I haven’t thought about in forever.
Or how many people you both hate.
It’s gotta be tricky to find a name that hasn’t offended at least one of the parents throughout their lives.
Maybe that’s why a bunch of really “unique” names have been on the rise?
The day your child realizes that you have no idea what your talking about is the day they become an adult.
The true mark of adulthood is realizing that no one actually knows what they’re talking about, and we’re all just winging it.
That’s a good saying.
“And if they have touched it, it can’t be fixed.”
Kids are like little atomic bombs just waiting to destroy.
Listen to your father, kids.
He’s a wise man. Perhaps the wisest of all the parents so far.
Sharing is caring.
It’s important to teach your kids to share. Even if it’s sharing swear words with other people.
Hopefully your baby doesn’t have a giant hole in the middle.
Otherwise, you might want to take it back to the store, assuming you still have your receipt.
Wait, babies don’t come with receipts?
Someday it’ll all make sense.
Eventually, you’ll have a few moments throughout your life that will suddenly make you understand your childhood. We call those “moments of clarity.”
Parenting will wear you down.
Much like anything else. Except parenting is worse, so if you aren’t cynical to begin with, you will be by the end of it. Enjoy.
RIP Your Social Life.
Because for the next 18 years your life doesn’t exist. Enjoy that too!
Sir, I think your kid might be a genius.
They could make the tape out of cheese or something. Protect this child at all costs.
LOUD NOISES.
At some point, yelling becomes the only way your children will hear you. So you better start busting out those vocal warm-ups, because you’ll be putting a lot of strain on those vocal cords.
That’s probably still better than some of the parents that actually “try.”
At least he’s concerned for their safety… right?
Don’t cross Santa Claus.
You don’t want to end up on the naughty list. Don’t ask, you just don’t.
Remember when we said there would be a lot of pretending?
Well, get ready to pretend your way through all of your child’s epic tales. Your kid will tell a story as long as Homer’s The Odyssey but somehow never actually finish the story.
Hope you like cliffhangers.
Sure thing, bud.
And as soon as you’re out of eyeshot… you stop looking.
Parenting is 90% faking it, 10% skill. (20% concentrated power of will.)
Savage.
Know your kid’s strengths and weaknesses, I guess.
But on the bright side, you’ll both save a ton of money!
And you’re just another bad decision.
That is some pretty solid father-son advice. The world needs more dads like this.
Unfortunately, your kids probably won’t get that.
Especially since not many normal people are charged 38% in taxes unless you make Conan O’Brien money. And not many people do, unless you’re Conan O’Brien.
Back to that whole “pretending” thing…
It’s not lying, it’s pretending with style.
Dad of the year award goes to…
Oof. More like savage of the year.
It might be in your best interests if you were adopted, kid.
Ooh, that’s a good one.
That’s like leaving little demonic bread crumb trails. Twisted, but it could work.
Story time!
Get ready, because it’s gonna be story time for a while.
You can always tune out and drop in the occasional “uh-huh”, but you always run the risk of kids asking insane questions, so be on your toes.
Once you have kids…
You’ll take “me” time any way you can get it. Even if it does involve the world’s most elaborate game of hide-and-seek.
Well… your second kid is creative at least!
Maybe he only “thinks” his toothbrush is haunted because he doesn’t want to brush his teeth! He might be trying to pull a fast one on you and ya don’t even realize!
Kiss your life goodbye.
And also kiss your money goodbye. And your hobbies. And fun in general.
Maybe your son just wants to be a DJ?
Party at DadandBuried’s house! His kid has the music and lights covered, we’ll bring snacks.
Nothing is scarier than a mother’s rage.
As a father, you know that. And as a kid, you know that.
So you can at least take solace together in the fact that neither of you wants to face that rage.

here’s a reason shows like The Office and movies like Office Space are such hits — because working in an office brings its own special, shall we say, “charm.”
While all offices are a bit different, dealing with coworkers and small talk, break room mystery smells, and paperwork — oh, the paperwork — can do a number on the soul.
But they say laughter is the best medicine — and Twitter is the best distraction — so while you’re pretending to work, have a laugh to keep from crying…

here are certain things that come along with working in an office. There are often cubicles, generic birthday cards everyone is obligated to sign their name to, and a manic excitement when there’s a fire drill and you can go outside for five minutes.
In other words, if you work in an office, you’ll relate to these pictures.
ONE person always ruins it for everyone else.
Keep calm and use Post-It notes.
You had to know that was coming.
For decorative purposes, perhaps?
They’re feeling the heat.
At least they added an artistic touch.
Make no sudden movements.
At least you can see that it’s loved.
