Karen Jones, a 48-year-old woman from the UK, was left in tears after her missing cat turned up dead on the side of the road.

Or at least she thought he did.

Turns out it was all just a case of mistaken identity!

Karen was looking for her missing cat Norman and when a passer-by told her family that there was a cat matching his description that had been hit by a car, she went to investigate.

Morrissey is a big fighter for animal rights.

So of course he slapped his name on a petition that was demanding an independent probe into a vivisection lab at Imperial College London.

If you're unfamiliar with the term, vivisection is a surgery performed on a living creature for experimental purposes.

That means these animals are ALIVE when scientists begin cutting into them!

Ronnie the bulldog is a little cutie pie who was abused by his owner.

We have no idea how people can be so cruel.

Ronnie wasn't fed a proper diet when he was young. The diet was so unhealthy that Ronnie could only crawl around!

His tendons didn't grow properly so he couldn't support his own puppy weight.

Thankfully, he was handed over to vets at Croeso Veterinary Hospital in Cardiff, in the UK.

Instead of putting him down, they started giving him water therapy.

In the UK, scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have been doing an inneresting experiment.

They're looking to measure the moods of goats at a sanctuary in Kent, trying to see how well the animals can recover from neglect and abuse.

What they did was test the goats in a special enclosure that had hidden food surprises.

They studied how optimistic or pessimistic the goats were as to whether or not they'd find food.

The best part about this study, other than showing even farm animals have a complex emotional life, was that it showed mistreated animals can still be fully rehabilitated!

That's so ahamyzing!!

Check out the video (above) to see the scientists in action with some cutie goats!

Chester Zoo in the UK became the proud new owners of two adorbz Asian Small-Clawed Otter pups back in the end of January!

The two little pups, Wallace, a boy, and Dill, a girl, have been spending time exploring their enclosure with their mama Daisy and their papa Robbie.

Just recently, it was time for their first check up!

The little otters were weighed and checked all over for general good health.

Oh em gee!!!

Why is it that small versions of big things are always so impossicute??

At Chester Zoo in England a brand new baby Dik-dik Antelope was born!

She is seriously the cutest little thing ever ever ever!!

The newborn is so tiny and Bambi-looking we're losing our minds.

This little cutie could ask us to do anything and we'd have to do it because we're hypnotized by the cuteness.

Thankfully this little baby just wants to be bottle fed and hugged!

A zoo keeper said:

"Our little one is growing stronger and stronger by the day and, all being well, it shouldn’t be too long until she'll be able to really hold her own. For the time being though her feed times are staggered through the day and she has her first bottle in my living room at home at around 7am. I then pop her into the car and bring her to work where she has another three feeds in my office. Finally, her last one is at 10pm back at my house. She’s already pretty quick on her feet and gives us quite the run around in the office. That’s why we’ve called here Aluna which means ‘come here’ in Swahili. It’s rather apt!"

Ha! That's a cute and fitting name!

She's so precious we don't know what to do.

We guess we'll stare at all the extra pics (below)!

English rocker and former Oasis band member Noel Gallagher has called out Justin Bieber!

Noel, and tons of other Brits, were upset when the Biebz showed up two hours late to a London concert!

Then he passed out at another show last night as we previously mentioned!

Noel doesn't find any of this very "rock n' roll" saying:
