While most cats like to be left alone and are aloof, this 5-year-old cat living in Norway is the exact opposite. According to her owner, the Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest cat mix named Nala loves nothing more than seeking attention when their focus is on the television instead of her.

Owner Alexander Fredrikson decided to compile a hysterical video of all the ways Nala likes to interrupt his video game playing as she reminds him who’s boss.

The minute Alexander sits back on his couch, Nala comes running in to ruin his game time.

She even makes sure to fully block his vision of the TV by rubbing her puffy tail in his face.

Watch the entire video below to see all the ways Nala manages to disrupt her owners attempts to play video games.

Nashville actress Clare Bowen is making headlines after cutting off her long blonde hair to send a message to young cancer sufferers that hair, and looks in general, don’t define a person or make them beautiful.

Clare was diagnosed with end stage nephroblastoma, a kidney cancer, when she was four years old. After losing her hair from chemotherapy treatments, she learned that physical appearances don’t define a person.

“I was really inspired when I heard a story about a little girl who said she couldn’t be a princess because she didn’t have long hair, and I wanted her, and others like her to know that’s not what makes a princess, or a warrior, or a superhero,” Clare explained in a Facebook Post. “It’s not what makes you beautiful either. It’s your insides that count… even if you happen to be missing half of them.”

Whether by choice, or by circumstance, these 11 women prove that hair isn’t what makes someone beautiful.

In a touching letter, one young, single dad from Las Vegas opens up about the struggles he’s faced raising his 10-month old daughter, and the wonders that have kept him going.

Richard Johnson, 21, posted his letter to Life of Dad, a Facebook group for fathers, which was the first thing that gave him hope that he would be able to take care of his young daughter, Persephone. Since the letter was originally posted to the page, it has garnered worldwide attention, and received over 15,000 likes and 551 shares so far.

In the letter, Johnson explains that Persephone’s mother left a month after she was born because of suspected post-partum depression issues. In the first few weeks alone with his daughter, Johnson was terrified of the daunting task, and wasn’t sure he would be good enough.

“I had read every ‘new parent’ book I could find and clocked in over 1000 hours in YouTube videos from everything to braiding hair and painting nails to theories on how to deal with common parental issues. I then started to watch your page more closely and saw that there were other fathers out there who were in similar predicaments as me. The page started to turn into a major confidence booster and really helped me through all of this.”

Johnson explained that he and his daughter had come a long way since the beginning, and thanked the social media page for giving him examples of other great dads in similar situations.

After receiving so much positive feedback, Johnson explained in another post how surprised he was by the attention his letter is getting.

“You truly can’t understand how much everyone’s words mean to me. I am constantly criticizing myself on how I can be a better father and this was just the right medicine I needed. When I got the message from Life of Dad stating they had uploaded my message I was more than eager to see it. Never in my wildest dreams would I suspect so many of you would see it. Let alone how many of you would comment on it.

“I come from a family of divorce and was raise by a single mother. When my father left when I was 6 I didn’t know I wouldn’t see or hear from him again until I was 21. So being that I never had a father it was truly frightening to become one. Even more so when I was going to do it alone. I didn’t have time to be worried though because that beautiful little girl needed a parent who could be her rock and would love her to pieces. In my mind there was no other option.”

Johnson describes the countless nights he spent in tears as he help his little girl because he wan’t sure if he was going to make it another day. When Persephone crawled up to him one night, laid her hand on his cheek, and stared into his eyes, he decided that his days of crying were over. Instead, he would fight everyday for the both of them to be happy, and has kept true on his promise.

Whether you love them or hate them, the Kardashians – and all their drama- are addicting. Go to the comment section of any article written about the family, and you’re guaranteed to read complaints about how people are sick of seeing and reading about them. However, this begs the question, if you can’t stand them, why click on them?

Because people can’t seem to understand that in the world of online media, what you click on is essentially what you’re voting to see more of, apps like KardBlock and Kardashian Filter are trying to instigate a widespread Kardaishian withdrawal.

Last may, 21-year-old marketer James Shamsi set out to block all things Kardashian with his browser extension KardBlock. In an interview with The Daily Beast Shamsi explained:

“Basically, what was happening was that there were Kardashians everywhere, and I wanted to do something about that. But for me, when I follow pages, I am not doing it to get a constant stream of updates on the Kardashians.”

Shamsi was frustrated that Kardashian news crushed the deeper, more important issues he actually cared about on practically every platform. However, the Kardashians are just the start for these topic blocking browser extensions.

“Our ultimate goal is even bigger than just that. We are looking to disrupt the entire digital advertising space. We want to replace all advertising with donation links and important news widgets,” Shamsi explained.

Unfortunately, in the few months following KardBlock’s release, the app received terrible ratings, with users complaining the extension didn’t work. Yet those who still want to silence all the Kardashian noise, are now turning to chiralsoftware’s Kardashian Filter browser extension.

With the Kardashian Filter extension applied, a website would look like this:

Bella Burton was diagnosed with Morquio syndrome when she was just 2 and a half years old. The rare genetic condition makes normal childhood activities like bike riding and running.

The syndrome occurs in about 1 in every 200,000 births, and can lead to organ damage, abnormal development of the bones and spine, paralysis, and heart issues. Bella mobility was already deteriorating, but then she met a 2-year-old Great Dane named George, and she was suddenly able to do all the things other kids could do easily.

Before George came along, running, riding bikes, and even walking was a challenge for Bella. She often needed crutches and even a wheelchair to get around.

“I had wheelchairs, walkers, Canadian crutches, regular crutches, and then we got George and I dropped my crutches and started to use him,” Bella said.

11-year-old Bella weighs jus 44-pound, and stands just over three and a half feet tall. She relies on George’s 131-pound frame as she holds onto a harness attached to his back to steady her as she walks.

Watch the entire video below to see how George has transformed Bella’s life.

Lately, social media has been called to question, as researchers express concern over the effects increased use has on people. From anxiety and depression to behavioral issues, it seems the negatives of social media might be outweighing the good.

For celebrities, social media gives them the ability to interact with fans, and set rumors straight. However, not all celebrities can see the appeal of social media when it means giving up the privacy they’ve worked hard to achieve.

See which of your favorite Hollywood celebs avoid social media at all cost:

10. Kate Winslet

“It has a huge impact on young women’s self-esteem, because all they ever do is design themselves for people to like them. And what comes along with that? Eating disorders. And that makes my blood boil. And is the reason we don’t have any social media in our house.” —​ ​The Sunday Times​

9. Jennifer Aniston

​”Kids aren’t speaking to each other anymore. I was with friends of ours from Vermont and their two kids don’t have an iPhone or an iPad. They were 9 and 12 and were the most interesting young adults. Seeing other kids on their [phones] all the time, it makes me sad.” ​— ​People

8. Johnny Depp

“I just don’t like phones. I just don’t like them . . . being reachable all the time.” – Access Hollywood

7. Jennifer Lawrence

“I will never get Twitter. I’m not very good on [a] phone or technology. I cannot really keep up with emails, so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me. If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it’s me, it most certainly is not. I had that one locked and loaded. Because the internet has scorned me so much.’”​ —​ ​BBC Radio 1​

6. Angelina Jolie-Pitt

“Brad and I were on Amazon.com for the first time a week ago. But we got lost. After an hour, we just shut it off. My brain is too scattered, and the wires go in different directions. I’ll stick to catalogs.”— USA Today

5. Daniel Radcliffe

“There’s certain things you can do to make it a lot easier on yourself . . . I don’t have Twitter and I don’t have Facebook, and I think that makes things a lot easier because if you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you’re doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, then no one is going to take that request seriously.”— Sky News

4. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

“[Twitter] gives me so much anxiety.” —Ashley Olsen, Vogue.com

“We’ve spent our whole lives trying to not let people have that accessibility, so it would go against everything we’ve done in our lives to not be in the public.”​ —​Mary-Kate Olsen​, ​Vogue.com​

3. Keira Knightley

“If you are on social media and if you do put anything out in the public, you are opening yourself up now to a lot of criticism and a lot of people telling you they hate you.”

2. Julia Roberts

“I have too much potential for collapse . . . There’s an anonymity that makes people feel safe to participate in hatefulness. I like a good old-fashioned fistfight if people are pissed off at each other. I just feel like if you’re really mad and want to have a fight, then put your dukes up.”— ​Marie Claire

1. George Clooney

“I’d rather have a rectal examination on live TV by a fellow with cold hands than have a Facebook page.”​ — at the Tortonto Film Festival

Alex and Brittney spent most of their childhood bouncing back and forth between living in foster homes and living with their abusive and neglectful mother. Yet, they were together through it all, and Alex did everything he could to protect his sister, despite being a child himself.

Unfortunately, siblings who enter foster homes tend to get split up during adoptions, but luckily Alex and Brittney found a forever home together. After taking just one look at a picture of the brother and sister, the family knew they had to adopt Alex and Brittney together.

Alex still remembers life with his birth mother, and explains he “saw her doing a lot of smoke and not paying attention to me and my sister.” Despite their situation, Alex would make sure Brittney didn’t see everything their mother put them through.

“I remember my old mom wasn’t treating me nice when I was little,” Alex said. “She was having fights. She wouldn’t see Brittney, so I’d pick her up and I’d take her to a place where the fighting isn’t happening.”

In 2010, Alex and Brittney spent their first night with their new family, and while scary at first, Alex new it felt different than their other foster homes.

“I didn’t have grown-ups that would take care of me like this — love me so much,” Alex explained when asked about his first night in his new home.

Watch the entire video below to see how far Alex and Brittney have come since finding a loving family.

Veterans show their courage in many ways. This veteran showed his as he helped an injured marathon runner cross the finish line.

As Saturday’s Rock’n’Roll Marathon started in Savannah, Georgie, it became clear that the already arduous event would be even more difficult due to the extreme humidity and warmth. Medical officials implemented a comprehensive heat plan, and inspiring servicemen like Sgt. John Cain were prepared to help any way they could.

Because of the extreme heat and humidity, medical officials decided to divert many runners, however many were still able to cross the finish line.

Race day has kicked off in the sinfully Southern Savannah! #RnRSAV

Some runners, like this man needed some assistance with the hazardous conditions. Sgt. John Cain saw this runner fall about 100 yards away from the finish line. The runner was devastated when paramedics told him he had to stop running, which is when Cain stepped in to help.

“My heart started bleeding for him,” Cain said, “so I asked the EMTs if I could walk him to the finish line, would that be OK, and they said OK and followed behind.”

According to the 28-year veteran officer, “I helped pick him up and tears were coming from his eyes and we walked towards the finish. You could almost feel the happiness coming from him.”

In a later press conference, Cain explained that he wanted to help the man because he knew how much it meant to him. He also went on to explain how police and service men do things like this everyday, but are just never seen.

Although the recent attacks in Paris, which left at least 129 dead and 352 injured, happened hundreds of miles away, you can do more than just change your Facebook profile picture. No matter where you live around the world, there are a number of ways you can make a positive difference.

Here are the top 5 things you can do to actually make a difference for everyone affected by last week’s attacks.

5. Donate to the Croix-Rouge

 Since the attacks on Friday, the French Red Cross has sent out over 300 volunteers to help survivors, and have established help centers.

To help the emergency organization, which has an active presence in Paris, donate directly to the French Red Cross here.

4. Offer your home

Whether you’re in Paris, or you’re in the United States, you can help those that have been displaced since the attacks. Not only are people stranded in Paris, but French tourists have been left stranded abroad after flight cancelations and border closings.

If you’re in Paris, use the hashtag #PorteOuverte, and if you’re in the U.S., use the tag #StrandedInUS to give someone temporary housing.

If you or someone you know is in need of a place to stay, Airbnb has set up a disaster relief tool to connect hosts and visitors in need. The company is also waiving service fees through November 17 for those affected.

3. Help Locate Missing People

While Facebook’s safety check feature has helped locate loved ones, many people are still missing.

Spread the above photo to share the information for embassies in Paris for travelers in need of support and to report missing persons after the attack.

2. Donate Blood

In the wake of the multiple attacks across the city, hundreds of people were hospitalized, and left in critical condition. If you’re in the area, donate blood to help all the hospitals that will have a higher demand than normal.

The Don du Sang à Paris app can help provide information on donation locations, and ways to help.

1. Donate to Emergency Support Organizations

The best way to make a difference in the area, if you’re thousands of miles away, is to donate to local emergency relief programs. Currently, the top organizations that have poledged to provide relief in Paris are Secours Catholique-Caritas and Secours Populaire Française.

While some of these organizations are not processing American cards, you can donate through Friends of Fondation de France, Inc. They accept American cards, and also allows you to designate a specific program and fund. Click here to donate.

Unfortunately, Doctors and Nurses receive lawsuits today more often than a ‘thank you.’ Many of these life-saving workers dedicate their entire lives to others, however, only a few have every been contacted by a patient and been thanked for their tireless work.

Which is exactly why so many were taken off guard when this mom reached out to all the people who worked to save the life of her 14-week-old son who had been in a deadly car crash.

In 2004 Kellie, her husband, and their 14-week-old son were in a deadly car crash. Her husband was killed instantly, and Eli was in critical condition. Doctors told Kellie that if Eli even survived, he probably would never be able to talk, walk, or show emotion.

But just a week later, Eli was taken home where he grew up healthy and strong just like any other kid.

Kellie never forgot the medical team’s service, and 10 years later, she wanted to find every single person who saved her son and thank them for all that they did.

“You were just such an important part of saving his life,” Kellie told Suzy, a women on the medical team.

“I’ve never been thanked after the fact,” Suzy said. “This is really special. This is really nice.”

Watch the entire video below to see how touched these people were after being thanked for saving the life of this mom’s baby.

Firefighters risk their lives everyday when they selflessly run into burning buildings to save complete strangers. For Patrick Hardison, running into burning buildings was just part of the job.

However, in 2001, the then 41-year-old firefighter from Mississippi suffered horrific burns when a burning roof collapsed on him, and melted through his face mask.

After the fire, doctors used skin from his leg to cover her face and head, but the burns were so bad that he lost his ears, lips, most of his nose, and pretty much all of his eyelids. Despite the constant stairs from people, Patrick continued to live his life.

This past August Patrick was admitted to New York University’s Langone Medical Center to undergo the most extensive face transplant surgery ever. A team of surgeons works for 26 hours to cut the scarred facial tissue off of Patrick, and replace it with the face of a brain-dead man named David Rodebaugh:

100 people worked in two teams throughout the complicated surgery, which the team now considers a success. Three months later, the lower part of his face is still swollen, but with more time and a few more surgeries, it will go away.

It’s been years since the accident, but Patrick will finally regain a normal field of vision, and for the first time in years, he is able to go out in public without all the social anxiety that had become almost normal to him.

Occasionally someone will notice that something is off with his face, but Patrick explains “I used to get stared at all the time, but now I’m just an average guy.”

Watch the video below to see this brave man’s incredible journey:

Blind people cannot see with their eyes, but those without sight depend on their other senses like touch, smell, taste, and sound to ‘see’. In order to see someone’s face, many blind people rely on their sense of touch to get a sense of someone’s facial features.

In the video, 30-year-old Tatiana, who lost her sight at 17, is 20-weeks pregnant, and explains that she can’t wait until her son is born so that she can finally ‘see’ him by holding him, and feeling his little face.

However, her doctor has other plans, and figures out a genius was to allow Tatiana to ‘see’ her son before he’s born.

Tatiana’s doctor asks her what she images her son looks like, she says “I imagine him… well… his nose like a little potato. A small mouth… like that… a chubby little hand.”

Even with her imagination, Tatiana knows she won’t actually be able to ‘see’ her baby until he is born. However, this clever doctor used a 3D printer to make a relief of the baby’s sonogram picture, which allowed Tatiana to feel all his features

Children see the world through their parent’s eyes, and the way a parent looks at the world will shape how their child looks at the world- and its tragedies- for their entire life. When faced with the impossible task of making his small son understand the horrors of the recent attacks, this father gave the perfect explanation.

In the video, a reporter from Le Petit Journal asks a young boy if he understands what happened, and why the attackers did what they did.

“Yes, because they’re really really mean. Bad guys are not very nice. And… we have to be really careful because we have to change houses.”

The adorable boy was afraid that they’d have to move because the bad people were in Paris, but his dad explains that France is their home, and that there are bad people everywhere. And when his son says that the mean people have guns that could shoot them, this incredible father had the perfect response.

“It’s ok, they might have guns but we have flowers,” the father explained. When the boy said that flowers couldn’t do anything, the father points to all the people putting down flowers and lighting candles. “It’s to fight against guns,” he says.

Once the boy understood that the flowers and candles would protect them, his face lit up, and told the reporter that he felt better.

Watch the entire video below to see a perfect example of what it means to be a dad in the wake of a tragedy.

Pugs might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of water-loving dogs, but Rocky the Pug is a natural in the water and on a surfboard.

In the video, Rocky spends his entire day at the Dog Beach Del Mar in California catching waves, enjoying the warm sun, and relaxing on the sandy beach.

Since he can’t paddle on the board, Rocky’s owners help him catch a wave by pushing the board forward as the wave passes by.

But that’s the only thing he can’t do himself. The minute Rocky catches a wave, he is able to balance and change the placement of his weight on the board so he can ride all the way to the shore.

We are living in an increasingly hostile world filled with loss, sadness, and tragedy. Yet, this world is also full of joy, magic, and love. The only difference is how you choose to look at it.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama believes that each person has the power to live compassionately, and change the future for the better. He has dedicated his life to teaching the world compassion and love, and his words are all the more important as we are faced with the choice of love or hate every single day.

15. What’s inside is far more important than the outside.

I often tease young people about their concern for how they look; more important is inner beauty – compassion, affection and respect.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) May 23, 2014

14. Anger is never the solution.

It would help if there were greater understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) January 28, 2014

13. You decide what the future will be like.

The future is in your hands, but for it to be peaceful and happy requires a sense of compassion and concern for others’ well-being.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) October 5, 2015

12. Prayer alone won’t change the world.

It's unrealistic to think that the future of humanity can be achieved through prayer or good wishes alone; what we need is to take action.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) September 8, 2015

11. Loving yourself and others is the most important thing.

Loving is of even greater importance than being loved.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) August 27, 2015

10. Compassion is the key to inner strength.

Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) August 18, 2015

9. The truth is stronger than guns.

The gun may seem more decisive in the short term, but in the long term the power of truth is stronger.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) July 10, 2015

8. Being strong means being compassionate.

A truthful, compassionate attitude is a sign of strength. It’s lying and anger that betray weakness.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) June 19, 2015

7. You have the ability to make the world a better place.

Ask yourselves now and then, "How can I contribute to human beings being happier and more at peace?"

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) June 1, 2015

6. Happiness depends on you, not circumstance.

Our potential for positive and negative emotions is the same, but intelligence is our special quality. Use it well; be successful and happy.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) April 20, 2015

5. Compassion is a commitment.

True compassion isn’t just an emotional response, it’s a firm commitment founded on reason, which doesn’t change if others behave badly.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) February 16, 2015

4. Finding fault in others is useless.

Being aware of a single shortcoming within yourself is far more useful than being aware of a thousand in someone else.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) January 30, 2015

3. Your happiness depends on others.

If you make others happy, you’ll be happy. If you make others unhappy, you’ll be miserable.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) October 31, 2014

2. Forgiveness is the cure to anger.

If you’re angry and resentful it’s like being part of a chain reaction; forgiveness puts a stop to anger, ill-will and a desire for revenge.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) September 29, 2014

1. Turn the negative into a positive.

If tragedy strikes, don’t lose hope. Transform it into an opportunity to make things better.

— Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) April 8, 2014

Even with all the ways technology helps couples communicate in long distance relationships, it can be hard to feel connected with the physical distance between you.

One creative Korean couple found themselves frustrated by the 6,863 miles between them, and decided to keep their connection alive through a project called ‘Half&Half.’

Despite the 14-hour time difference and location differences, Danbi Shin, currently living in New York, and Seok Li, currently living in Seoul, simultaneously took photos of what they were doing, seeing, and eating while on video calls and later merged the two.

 The merged pictures show that their were still similarities in their lifestyles despite living in two vastly different cities.

Despite being only 10 months old, this baby koala named Imogen is already a pro in front of the camera. She can even make eating look adorable!

In honor of her approaching first birthday, the Symbio Wildlife Park outside Sydney, Australia decided to give Imogen her very first photoshoot.

During the photoshoot, they gave baby Imogen eucalyptus leaves to munch on to keep her occupied.

Imogen seemed more interested in the food, when they tried to replace the green leaves with a fuzzy stuffed animal.

UN Water has officially marked November 19th as World Toilet Day, an event that raises awareness of all the people around the world who don’t have access to toilets.

According to World Toilet Day “Of the world’s 7 billion people, 2.4 billion people do not have improved sanitation. One billion people still defecate in the open. Poor sanitation increases the risk of disease and malnutrition, especially for women and children.”
