Last week the world wept as A-listers Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris ended their 15-month relationship.

But it turns out no one was quite as upset as Calvin – although it was less for the loss of Taylor and more for the potential loss of her cats!

The famous felines often feature on their owner's social media accounts and back when Talvin was a thing, they even appeared on the DJ's Snapchat story.

Fortunately for Calvin, Bad Blood singer Taylor was feeling generous and has granted him visitation rights for her beloved pets – who are named Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson.

Last week Calvin informed the Twittersphere that the pair ended their relationship on good terms – despite a host of rumours which suggested otherwise.

 

My cats are always coming up with new, innovative ways to sit around.

Taylor has yet to comment publicly on the split – but in the meantime at least she has her cats.

If you have a pet, it's safe to say you often wonder what they get up to when you're out of the house.

So much so, some people even set up cameras to record their fluffy friends.

Well, The Secret Life of Pets is hitting Ireland on June 24 and it's everything we could have possibly imagined.

The animated flick is all about our mischievous little pals, and it's pretty similar to what we think they get up to in our heads.

This film follows Max, a Jack Russell Terrier, who adores his owner, Katie, but when a sloppy mongrel named Duke enters the picture the two dogs have to go head to head to gain Katie's affection.

And if that wasn't bad enough, disaster hits when Max and Duke are captured, and their friends will do anything to bring them back home.

This movie is seriously everything you think it will be and more. And if you love animals, and feel your pet is part of your family, then this is certainly the movie for you. 

And if you love your pet loads, just like they do in this movie, we are giving away a PET-friendly family break to the Twelve Hotel. Here's more info for you to enter our competition!

The weekend is nearly here, but just to make your day that little bit better (thank us later), we have some exciting PUPPY-RELATED news.

If you’re a fan of all things cuddly, cute and generally squeal-inducing, you better make a big space in your diary for March 11, 12 and 13.

Dublin is set to become a cat and dog playground for that weekend only, as Whiskas and Pedigree team up for Pawsitivity In The City, a three-day event promoting #PawsitiveLiving for pets and their owners.

Whether you’re a pet owner, looking to give a pet in need a new home, or simply just want to give and receive some oh-so fluffy puppy love, then head along to Merrion Square to check out the action.

Activities lined up so far include a doggy disco, professional pet grooming and dog training services, plus advice from expert vets including Ireland AM star Pete Wedderburn.

The ISPCA will also be there to help some dogs in need to find their new forever home through their Rehoming Programme.

Now, to tide you over until March 11, here’s the most adorable puppy/kitten GIF we’ve ever seen:

Recently, a cat that looks like Star Wars and Girls star, Adam Driver, totally broke the Internet.

It was so like the actor that we couldn't help crack up… But that was so last week.

Now, Reese Witherspoon has found not one, but two cat doppelgangers and we completely love them.

The blonde bombshell took to Instagram to share with the world her cat look-a-likes, and she already has more than 85,000 likes on the pic.

"I see the resemblance. Do you? #catwinning," she captioned the snap.

We see a new celebrity trend coming on!

We kinda can't deal with this because it's just TOO cute. 

Rosie, the kitten, was only three-weeks-old and when found, she was abandoned and close to death. 

Lilothehusky wrote on Instagram: "She almost didn't make it through the first night.

"She was lethargic and limp. So we decided to go out on a limb and let her cuddle extensively with Lilo.

"By some miracle… Lilo went full 'mom mode'." 

And since then, Rosie has been healthy and well, and has made new husky friends. She even goes on ski trips with the gang.

"Lilo has never had puppies of her own, and never will. But motherhood may just be her calling."

We can't handle the cuteness here, guys!

Manny the cat might not have a glam squad or a reality TV show, but he still gives the Kardashian-Jenners a run for their money.

Why? Well, his selfie game is 100% on point.

Manny's owner, Instagram user @yoremahm, has a collection of GoPro cameras which the cute feline is apparently "fascinated" by.

So much so that he can't resist reaching out and pushing the buttons every once in a while, resulting in a hilarious collection of cat selfies, often featuring Manny's pals – a motley crew of dogs.

"He is the boss of the dogs," Manny's owner told per site Love Meow. 

Amazing.

Here are a few of his best snaps:

 

 

Loving your work, Manny.

Move over J Law and Amy, because Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are our new fave celeb BFFs. 

And Blake seems to really know her best friend, giving Taylor a brilliant birthday surprise. 

 

Blake wins at birthday pies. @blakelively I honestly can't stop laughing rn

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Tay posted a snap on Instagram yesterday of a very delicious-looking pie. And sitting on top were two cats made of icing, which resembled her cats Olivia and Meredith. 

The feline lover named her furry friends after her favourite TV characters, Olivia Benson from Law & Order: SVU and Meredith from Grey's Anatomy

“There's a reason ‘#friendshipgoals’ was invented because of her. Thank you @taylorswift for the happiness you bring to not only everyone that knows you, but also to those who don't — you're the real deal. Happy Birthday!” Blake captioned another IG post. 

The gal pals recently spent some time together in Australia, and looking at their pictures, we WISH we could join in with the fun.

But even though Taylor celebrated her 26th birthday, it wasn't all sunshine and roses.

A new claim has been made that Taylor stole another artists work. But a spokesperson for Ms Swift made a statement to Cosmopolitan today:

"At no time during these postings did Ms Burguieres contact our office directly. Notwithstanding the huge publicity this has generated for Ms Burguieres and her store, in early November Ms Swift's office made a fair offer of payment well above a reasonable licensing fee for the short time the fan art was posted online.

"Ms Burguieres' lawyer acknowledges Ms Swift's action was unintentional, but rejected the offer. She promised to get back to us with an explanation of why she felt Ms Burguieres was entitled to more money, but she never did that and the next we heard as Ms Burguieres' new posting.

"We have tried on multiple occasions to address Ms Burguieres' concerns, but these actions make it clear to us that this is just an unfortunate effort to extract ore money and more publicity."

Some of us may save some leftover food for our beloved pets on Christmas, but one animal food company has taken it to the next level. 

Freshpet made this video as a spoof on your family's Christmas dinner which includes 13 dogs and one cat, and they just about nailed it. 

We see the drunk uncle who is well on his way to getting locked, the bulldog-granddad who sneaks sips from his hidden flask and of course, the unruly teen who won't stop texting during dinner. 

If only all Christmas dinners could be as funny as this one:

As a general rule, for every fashion forward blogger we follow on Instagram we must balance things out with any account involving pugs, cats, or delicious food.

So naturally, when we stumbled across @berkavitch we were absolutely delighted. It is comedy gold. 

Also, it features cats. Many cats.

All of which are mostly one shape and size, but that is in fact what makes it so fantastic. 

Let us all take a moment to appreciate the expression on that feline's face. It is the face you make when you wake up and look at all the texts you sent the night before. 

John Berkavitch is described as a “Rapper, vandal, educator and surrealist” on his website. He is also a “human beatbox”.

Last year his gig in Edinburgh featured “three breakdancers with umbrellas who stand in as Berkavitch's subconscious and sometimes his conscience.” 

His Slam Poetry champion has toured across the world at literary festivals.

John also managed to find the time in between all of these appearances (which included a TEDx talk) to discover his other passion. Photographing giant cats from around the world.

Ok fine, these are not actually super-sized cats, more like a nifty camera trick. 

He uses the hashtag #MeAndCats, so now you know what to look for the next time you’re in the market for some giant cat pictures. 

We did wonder though, are these cats really giant cats or is John just a very tall man?

While we were unable to get an measure of John's height, it is safe to say these cats are probably not cat-giant hybrids. 

One time he held kittens and made us question everything.

However, his website also has the complete collection of his cat photos, to be found in the section cleverly titled ‘Me and Cats’. 

He describes it, quite neatly as “basically me and various cats from around the world.”

A description that hides the true majesty to found hiding in the #MeAndCats collection. Just look at that fetching manbun and ginger cat ensemble.

Dogs might go along with their owners putting them in ridiculous animal costumes, but cats, no; cats don't like it at all.

Spider glasses

 

 

The pumpkin

 

The dinosaur

 

The peacock

 

The green devil

Don't get us wrong, we love our pets. 

They cheer us up when we're sad, make us laugh with their funny gestures and even cuddle us when we're cold. But when a pet becomes more fashionable than you could EVER hope to be, it's probably time to start rethinking a few things.

These chic fur-balls have better clothes, better accessories and probably better hair than we will ever have.

Here's a look at the fashionable life of the fluffy elite: 

Marni and Chubby Beckerman (@beckermanblog)

These chic pooches share an IG page with their owners, Cailli and Sam. Expect to see a lot of funky fashion from these two. 

 

Cecil Delevingne (@cecildelevingne)

Cara Delevingne's bunny has her own Instagram account and probably has better accessories to wear than any of us.

 

Trotter (@trotterpup)

Trotter poses in everything from floppy hats to six-inch heels – and looks totally fierce while doing so.

 

Menswear Dog (@mensweardog)

He dresses better than your boyfriend. Fact. 

 

Asia (@ladygaga)

Lady Gaga's new dog Asia wears Alexander McQueen. Yes – we're jealous too. 

 

Choupette Lagerfeld (@choupettesdiary)

This IG account follows the life of Karl Lagerfeld's cat – and it includes very fancy jet rides and endless plates of shrimp.

 

Digby Van Winkle (@digbyvanwinkle)

Doggy Digby takes a mean selfie and fills his feed with very snazzy outfits.

 

Neville Jacobs (@nevillejacobs)

The ever stylish pooch of Marc Jacobs trots the world with his owner and looks effortlessly dapper while doing do.

 

Barkley Sir Charles (@barkleysircharles)

The cutest IG you will ever come across, this dog can't help but smile while wearing the finest outfits.

 

Grumpy Cat (@realgrumpycat)

He wears a hat better than Pharrell – and probably everyone else in the world. But does not look happy about it.
