Top 10 Cats Who Don’t Need a D.N.A Test


Have you ever watched morning TV and seen those reality TV show that feature some man wanting a DNA test done to determine if the child is really his? Well just like those TV shows sometimes they don’t need a test, you can just see the child is theirs, and the same thing happens in the cat world…

Cat and Identical Kitten


10 – This is my step Son


While the image looks a little staged the parent and son resemblance is both very real and very uncanny! Maybe it is a parent guarding the kitten from someone or thing.

9 – Spot The Difference


Sadly cats are not ladybirds, you can not count the spots and hope to know you are the parent of any kitten. But markings are still a dead giveaway.

Cat and Identical Kitten


8 – Multiplicity Family


While I do think this is one of the best images of adult cats and their cute mini counterparts I can’t help think that the odds of both parent and child being down with the exact same eye defect is a little too far-fetched and might be a Photoshop job. But I could be wrong, and if so its amazing!

7 – Nice and Steady Son, Nice and Steady


I would imagine it is a joy for an adult cat to teach their off-spring the way to hunt. Passed down from generation to generation it is a right of passage.

6 – …and this is how we stretch until it looks like it hurts!


Doing exercise with your little ones is important for bonding as well as health reasons. And I suppose in the cat world that means lots of stretches.

5 – My Ticks are getting bigger every day!


As a parent I know that face well. Climbed over, used as a trampoline all day! Yep, these are the joys of parenthood and this cat knows them well.

4 – This is how we beg son


I can handle how cute the little kitten looks and how much it looks like its parent, what I can’t handle it just how long that adult cat is!!!

3 – Mini Me


The same Santa beard and the same Elf ears, but it is the eyes that tell the story of separation. Cats are often very close to their children and never venture far away from each other.

2 – He Looks Nothing Like me!


It is often the case of getting people to look in the mirror when it comes to asking if the child is theirs. This cat can just look at his kitten to know the truth.

1 – Play Time


Having a child myself I understand that having a child can also mean having someone to play with, all those rough and tumble games that mums definitely don’t approve of. And it seems this cat father and son tag team have been caught red paw’ed.

Being a kind of root beer I would imagine a barbecue sauce made from it would taste very nice indeed. Apparently it gives the sauce a full, fruity flavour


Top 10 Best Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipes

Blueberry Barbecue Sauce Recipes


9 – Blueberry Barbecue


This sauce looks more red than blue but the colour is a warning for the powerful list of other ingredients inside of it. JalapeƱo peppers, Dijon mustard and Tabasco sauce are just the start of this powerful sauce.


Top 10 Best Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipes

Watermelon Barbecue Sauce


8 – Watermelon


There are loads of fruit based barbecue sauces, but as I like watermelon so much this was one of my favourites. With a very gentle taste it captures all those big summer sensations all in one sauce.

Top 10 Best Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipes

White bbq sauce recipe


3 – White


While the white colour is not going to give you the impression of a good BBQ sauce don’t know it until you have tried it. This mayonnaise-based sauce with a tangy after taste is mild yet rich in both taste and ingredients.

South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe


2 – South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe


Mustard sounds like a weird ingredient to add to the otherwise strong but mild tasting BBQ sauce but that is what makes it stand out from the crowd. While the colour might scare some people away I’m going to be it tastes delicious.

Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture


I have heard and read a lot of people saying that VW made some of the best cars and campervans in the world. Everyone loves the Bug and the Bus and while they do make other cars it is these 2 vehicles that inspire the furniture in today’s post…

Volkswagen Coffee Table


10 – Coffee Table


This coffee table is all about recycling. From the wood made from pallets to the genuine VW splitscreen part! It is not furniture, it is a celebration of Volkswagen vans.


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Bed


9 – Bed


This is one of the best VW beds I have ever come across. Sure there are bunk beds and even flat-pack VW beds, but this one is the best.


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Baby Cot


8 – Baby Cot


Many children in the 70’s grew up inside Volkswagen buses, but now you can do away with the whole sleeping in a motorhome option and make the baby one of these!


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Desk


7 – Desk


It is the classic desk made from the bottom half of a VW campervan. Best of all is this office desk is located in a VW sales office!


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Wardrobe


6 – Wardrobe


Available in both blue and yellow these VW wardrobes are perfect for a 70’s style bedroom. I think I would have to pick the yellow one because it would make the room look a little brighter.


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Toy Box


5 – Toy Box


Bearing in mind the fact that the front of a VW bug car was the storage compartment  it seems rather fitting that it would also make a great toy box for kids. Just remember to make sure they can open it from the inside because they will lock themselves in it one day.


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen TV Cabinet


4 –  TV Cabinet


As long as the lights work and the DVD and sky box go into the grill compartments I think this is an awesome idea! Provided you have the skills to make it. It is always a shame when you can’t even dream about buying things like this. (Well that’s what I think anyway.)

Volkswagen Drinks Bar


3 –Drinks Bar


You have the room and the time to make your own drinks bar from a Volkswagen camper then you are very lucky indeed. But is it drink and driving if you fall drunk onto the bar?!?


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen Sofa


2 – Sofa


I remember riding in the back of a VW beetle when I was young and there definitely wasn’t a sofa there. But design wise it looks amazing and would make a great car!


Top 10 Volkswagen Campervan and Beetle Furniture

Volkswagen chest of drawers


1 – Chest of drawers


This amazing set of 3 are going to make someone very happy. While they are indeed hand made and one of a kind you can normally get this sort of thing from Etsy. Or maybe learn to paint it yourself.

Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs


My dog is always angry. Angry at the postman, cyclists, other dogs, just about everything really! But it is not his fault, he’s had a bad upbringing and old habits die hard. The truth is if he wasn’t a weedy, tiny dog he might well makes it as one of these Hulk dogs…



Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Chihuahua Mix


10 – Chihuahua Banner


This is what my own dog would look like if I dressed him up to look like the hulk. Needless to say this image is the reason I don’t do that, more mussel on a budgie.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk French Bulldog


9 – Le Banner


The original Hulk series might have been translated into 40 different languages, but this French bulldog only speaks in extreme anger.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Bull Terrier


8 – Bruce Bull


The strong bodied Bull Terrier would have made a great hulk, but it is those low quality ripped shorts that let this pooch down. Go denim or go home I say!


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Staffordshire Bull Terrier


7 – Staffordshire Banner


Staffies always have that big ‘n’ angry look going on, so what better costume for them than the hulk! But just like with the hulk there is a softer side no-one sees.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Pug


6 – Bruce Puppy


Some pet costumes leave a lot to be desired, but I think this pug would still look cute in any costume.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Terrier


5 – David Highland


This cute West Highland terrier might well be the David Bruce Banner of the dog world. Pet him not because you wouldn’t like him when hes angry.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Weimaraner


4 – Bruce Weimaraner


They are more commonly known for their sniffing ability, but never make a Weimaraner mad, in fact don’t even look them in the eye for too long as this cameraman found out.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Pug


3 – David Bruce Pugger


Oh, No! Something has set this Hulk dog onto his transformation and he is starting to grow his superdog strength and size, run for your life! …or the dog snacks to calm him down again.


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Bulldog


2 – Bulldog Banner


With a flair muscular build and not a sign of gamma radiation or the army trying to chase him down. Those denim shorts are the best!


Top 10 Scary and Angry Hulk Dogs

Hulk Pug


1 – Pug Banner


If the costume doesn’t make you smile the Lou Ferrigno wig definitely will. This might well be my favourite pug costume..EVER!

Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs


The world of art and furniture design is always merging and criss-crossing over, but now and again you get something so special it stands out like a sore thumb. That is where Maximo Riera comes into it, as he has been making some very special chairs for a while now and all of them have to be seen to be believed…



Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs


..


PLEASE DO CLICK ON ONE OF THE IMAGES BELOW TO SEE THE REST OF THIS ARTISTS WORK



Maximo Riera: Whale Chair

Maximo Riera: Whale Chair


10 – Whale


These chairs as you will soon realise for yourself are more about art than comfort and convenience. But that is what makes them worth talking about over every other chair ever made.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Frog Chair


9 – Frog


there is something a little weird about this frog seat that features just the back of the amphibian rather than the front like most of the artist other pieces of art.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: 3D Printed Rhino Chair


8 – Micro Rhino


Yes that really is a 50p coin. Not only does the artist make the full size works of art, he also makes little micro versions of them, all 3D printed!


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: 2015 Whale Chair


7 – Whale


I know we have already had the whale chair but this one featuring natural colours and tones seems to make the chair even better than the artistic and often moody black ones.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Rhino Chair


6 – Rhino


Some of you might have noticed how Maximo often uses the animals own legs or body features to create the legs and make the chair stable. Well I thought it was a nice (if predictable) touch.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Elephant Chair


5 – Elephant


This is apparently the heaviest from the artists animal chairs collection. But this one as with all the animal chairs are just 1 of only 20 limited edition art projects he will ever make, but he is a artist who uses many forms and styles to make his art so it might not be chairs, but maybe tables next!


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Walrus Chair


4 – Walrus


Then the feel of these chairs is luxurious. Made with rich leather upholstery they might not look like it, but each one is said to be incredibly comfortable! But then again how uncomfortable could it feel resting on a giant walrus?!?


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Octopus Chair


3 – Octopus


All of these chairs is said to be biologically accurate in every way. From the look of the animal to the feel of it, and even the weight (if they were the size of the chair.) Some of these chairs weigh 300lb+! Not one to be moved around the house very often then.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Beetle Chair


2 – Beetle


Definitely one of my favourites in this animal kingdom furniture collection. I could imagine this in the managers office of a zoo, or wildlife reserve.


Top 10 Amazing Maximo Riera Animal Chairs

Maximo Riera: Hippo Chair


1 – Hippo


Who doesn’t need a Hippo chair / sofa in their lives? Well with an average price of £50,000 I think I will have to write a lot more animal posts before I can afford one.
