4,000 Miles Between Them, Couple Connects Over ‘Chonky’ Cats

Cats can close the widest of distances…

Making connections can be a tough thing, but the modern miracle of the internet helps the wide world shrink to just the right size for perfect chances. Anna Hosey and Adam Lawrence learned this to be true thanks to a Facebook group titled “THIS CAT IS C H O N K Y”.

It all began when Adam posted a couple photos of him with a friend’s fluffy feline. Adam beamed while the cat was, of course, adorable. Scrolling through posts on the group’s page, Anna came across the cute pair. While Adam wasn’t a hefty cat, Anna liked what she saw, commenting, “Both v v cute”.

In an interview with MetroUK, Anna said, ‘I had just recently joined the group and immediately noticed Adam, so I made a comment in regards to how cute him and the cat both were.”

Connecting Over the Chonk

Little did she know this was the beginning of something special. All thanks to her love for her tabby kitten Kidden and the chonky cats of Facebook.

“Adam sent me a private message after I had made the comment and we immediately hit it off based off our massive similarities in music taste and learned we had much more in common after that.”

From then on, Adam spent much time in communication with Anna and Kidden. Between near daily video chats and phone calls, the 4,000-mile distance separating the two shrunk as they connected further. Anna hails from Chicago, Illinois, while Adam resides in London, UK. But, physical distance can’t stop connections that were meant to be.

“We were wildly curious on what would happen if we saw one another in person. We both felt things had become romantic via phone and wanted to know if it would be the same,” said Anna.

Kidden Meets Adam, But Will He Approve?

In December, the pair met in person for the first time. Adam flew from London to Chicago to meet Anna and Kidden. There were surely nerves involved beforehand, but Anna related their meeting was “very natural, like we weren’t strangers at all and there was no awkwardness involved. It was all so… simple.’

As for Kidden’s feelings regarding Adam, “They took a shine to each other from the get off. Kidden normally doesn’t immediately interact with others, but this time it was not the case. Those two together has been a lovely sight to see!’

With things “somewhere between dating and a relationship”, Anna and Adam are planning on seeing each other again in February. This time, Anna will make the trip the London to visit Adam. Here’s to hoping their love of chonky cats will unite them furever!

Anna posted on Instagram, “Ever met an English boy on a Facebook cat page who’s wild enough to fly from the UK to Chicago?”

On Facebook, Adam joked about their unusual meeting, “It sounds a lot more weird than it actually was I promise.”

Can Dogs Have Breath Mints?

Image
Bad breath can lead to embarrassing situations and breath mints are used to prevent this from happening. The problem of bad breath is extremely common among dogs but can they have breath mints? The answer to this question is a YES only if the mints have been made specifically for dogs. You can find a lot of dog breath mints in the market. Generally, artificial forms of mint use Xylitol (an artificial sweetener) that is toxic for dogs. Due to this reason, it is highly recommended to avoid all kinds of mint products that may contain this ingredient. Basically, it causes a sudden release of insulin in the body that leads to hypoglycemia. According to VCA Hospitals , even the smallest quantities of Xylitol can cause seizures, liver failure, or even death. Help! My Dog Ate a Mint If your dog has eaten a mint leaf, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if he/she has ingested a breath mint with Xylitol in it, you need to move quickly. Despite the fact that xyl...

Can Cats Drink Tea And Other Caffeinated Beverages?

Image
Watching your sneaky cat inch towards your morning brew, you’ve probably wondered if cats can drink tea, coffee, or other morning musts with caffeine. The answer is complicated when it comes to sharing tea with cats, but one thing’s for sure: coffee and felines should never mix. Chock full of caffeine and other stimulants, cats should never drink coffee as caffeine is toxic to cats . This includes decaffeinated coffee since the beans also contain theobromine , another stimulant that can sicken felines. In protecting your cat from caffeine, don’t let her drink caffeinated sodas or energy drinks either. Also look out for guarana, mate, and cacao when checking food labels. All three are natural sources of caffeine. Also, according to the Pet Poison Helpline, caffeine may go by the alternate names   methylxanthine and xanthine . Did you know you can also find caffeine in diet supplements, weight loss products, and over-the-counter medications? If your cat manages to steal a sip ...

7 Fall Hazards All Pet Parents Should Be Aware Of

Image
Fall — i t’s here and beautiful as ever. The foliage is starting to change, the air is getting crisper, days are becoming shorter, and the festive feelings of Halloween and Thanksgiving are in the air. But, along with the beauty of the season come some potential fall hazards that all pet parents should be aware of.  1. Rodenticides As the days are getting shorter and cooler, mother nature’s little outdoor critters will begin looking for some temporary fall and winter housing to call home. Mice and rats are notorious for trying to get inside garages, basements, attics, and sheds as they search for a cozy place to call home. To avoid unwanted little tenants, many households put out rodent poisons. If you use these poisons anywhere in your home, make sure to keep them hidden and far out of the reach of your canine kids. These chemical formulas are toxic and potentially deadly for your pooch. 2. Mushroom Poisoning Mushrooms have a habit of popping up around this time of the year...
