(@nala_cat)Naturally, her success on Instagram translated to other social media pages, and Nala has even won Tik Toker of the Year at the 11th annual Shorty Awards. Over the years, she also gained international success outside of social media. So much so, that at one point she was even interviewed by Oprah.
Proving you don’t have to come from wealth in order to be wealthy, Nala is a classic “from rags to riches” kind of case. “The story of one kitten, Nala, starts off at a home where the owners could no longer take care of the cats and kittens because there were too many,” explained her owner Varisiri (Pookie) Methachittiphan on Nala’s personal website, where she shared how the now Insta-famous kitty began her life in a shelter.
“Nala was then taken away to the shelter where she was separated from her original family,” explained her momager. “Sadly we don’t know what happened to the rest of the cats or kittens, but when adopted, Nala was the only one left.”
“I went to my friend’s cousin’s house and we just wanted to go see some animals at the animal shelter and so I just went there without thinking that I was going to adopt a cat that day,” she further relayed. “Then, I saw her and I just couldn’t leave her, I had to take her home.”
At the time, Nala was just about five months old. But it didn’t take long for her cuteness to win over not only her new mom but what seemed like the entire internet. “I just started Instagram without actually thinking that she was going to be so famous,” admits Methachittiphan.
If you still don’t follow Nala on Instagram, it’s time you should!

]]>The post Look At That Face! Tuna the Chiweenie Will Capture Your Heart appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Don’t take it from us. His 2 million followers on Instagram have sworn allegiance to his Derpiness. “If you could use a little bit of joy & laughter, you’ve come to the right place!”, reads his Instagram bio.
“This unconventional-looking dog is being used to bring joy and make people happy,” Tuna’s mother, Courtney Dasher, went on to say in an interview with Vice. Indeed, some followers have gone as far as to tattoo Tuna’s face on their bodies. Others, send in photoshopped images of the dog, showcasing his best angles.
According to Dasher she was actually taken aback by some of the reactions her pup got. “One woman showed up to a book signing who had agoraphobia—she hadn’t left her house in years,” she shared. “This woman got over her fear, just to meet Tuna!”
Tuna also makes the case for “adopt don’t shop”. The strange (albeit lovely) looking dog was adopted by Dasher at a Farmers Market in LA in 2010, when he was but a four-month-old puppy. According to Dasher, she opened his Instagram page a year later, with no real expectation for it to soar the way it has. “I felt like this was my opportunity to make a positive difference in the world, so I took a leap of faith,” says Dasher.

(@thelifeofqueso)“Queso is great at posing (if treats are involved) so it doesn’t take too long to get a good picture,” shared his momager, Sarah McVey, in an interview with Swooft. “I like to consider the timing of the post and if there’s a good holiday or trending topic to partake in, but for the most part it’s all about his normal life and activities.” Those activities include digging at the beach, eating treats (with an emphasis on cheddar cheese), and kissing strangers.
Being a rescue dog, Queso has one of those “rags to riches” sort of tales. According to his now-owner, Queso was first housed in an Alabama shelter, but was lost after a flood hit the shelter. After the flood, a rescue mission carried by the Almost Home Foundation had brought Queso, alongside other stranded dogs, to Chicago.
“We first met at a foster’s home who was watching Queso while he was up for adoption,” shared McVey. “He had rashes on his belly, kennel cough, and an ear infection, but he was still smiling and happy to see us!”. Luckily, those sad days are long over and done with.
His celebrity status means that Queso has quickly outgrown his humble beginnings. These days, he is gaining fans by the hour, and McVey admits to being excited. “Queso was recognized at the airport by a stranger and it was the most exciting day ever!” she shared.

]]>Here to inspire our summer outfits is Remix the dog, AKA the Stylish Bearded Pupster. With a nickname like that, you can expect the most fashionable of attires to pop up in his Instagram feed. And indeed, recent takes on summer trends include Remix sporting Hawaiin shirts (a vacation staple) and an incredible collection of shades, ranging in shape and color.
“His collection of Hawaiian shirts work well in the Miami weather,” his owner, Chris Ha, shared in an interview with Django. “He is sort of known for sporting sunglasses. When I put them on his head, he freezes in place, which is actually perfect for taking photos.”
Based in Toronto, Canada, the Miniature Schnauzer’s sense of fashion has taken him around the world—from Israel to Puerto Rico. He has also been featured time and time again in fashion magazines like ELLE, Glamour, and Mr. Porter—getting the official stamp of approval from the fashion scene.
“When I first started Remix’s account, I spent a lot more time on it,” says Ha. “Now, I spend 3 to 4 hours a week on it. I shoot a lot of content ahead of time. Whenever I am, I take photos or videos in a few different ways. Then I post it as I go, so I do not have to focus on it constantly.”

]]>The post Merlin the Cat is a Rare Beauty appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Adopted from the Lynchburg Humane Society in 2017, Merlin has outgrown his humble beginnings fairly quickly, attracting a massive fanbase, both online and offline, thanks to his charismatic character and unique features. A Napoleon cat, a rare mixed breed of a Munchkin and a Persian cat, he’s relatively small and very much fluffy. Being blind, his eyes are milky blue, which makes for a rather striking combination.
“It’s a pretty new breed–by new I mean 20 to 22 years,” explained his owners. “Napoleons are pretty small, but they’re able to move around as easily as normal-sized cats. For the most part, they inherit the Persian’s physical characteristics.”
According to the Greens, Merlin is an affectionate cat, and loves being acknowledged and held. “He’s never destructive or petty, either,” they say, adding that he doesn’t hide or avoid people and runs up to the door to greet his owners. His preferred sitting place? Someone’s lap.
Scroll down to see some regel photos (and videos) of Merlin.

#lockdown #shelterinplace #flattenthecurve #stayhome #wegotthis #saturdaymorning“It always fun to run into people who recognize them,” said their owners in an interview with Hello Bark. “We ran into a fan jogging in Chicago who stopped us on the street. We occasionally see fans who obviously recognize them but don’t want to bother us. They should know we’re always happy to stop for a photo. Almost everyone says we look smaller in person. They also tell us that following them brightens their day. That means a lot to us.”
According to their owners, despite being litter-mates, Minnie and Max have quite distinct personalities. While Minnie is said to be very smart, focused, energetic, and self-confident, Max is sweet, devoted, and relatively reserved and shy. “One of the great things about having two pugs is they always have each other, even when no humans are around,” they note. “Minnie and Max are very bonded. They usually hang out together and use each other as pillows. Plus, it’s always nice for each human to have their own pug next to them at all times.”
You can follow their antics on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.

]]>The post Bert the Pomeranian Has Much Heft to Him appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>We’re hardly the only ones. An NYC celebrity, Bert amassed well over 400k followers. But life wasn’t always easy on the pooch. When he was only 5 months old, he was dumped at a shelter by a breeder who deemed him too big to sell.
It was then that art gallery owner Kathy Grayson swooped in. “There was just something about the look in his eyes,” Grayson told The Dodo. “I think that next day in NYC we had an opening at my art gallery with hundreds of people and a dinner and after-party. From day one, Bert was ready to join the art world!”
Now the official mascot of the NYC art gallery, The Hole, Bert gains as much attention as the artists showcased in the gallery. And sometimes… even more. “He is so calm and like… introspective,” Grayson relayed. “He’s been to dozens of openings, scores of art fairs in NYC, Miami, L.A. and the Hamptons even. He’s been to Canada and Seattle and D.C., to clubs, restaurants, bars, even the opera once! His motto is ‘Happy to be included!’”
