Most pet cats like boxes. Some would even rather squeeze themselves into an impossibly small one than forfeit an opportunity to spend time in a cardboard container.

But what about really big cats?

A new video from Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Tampa, Florida, proves that domestic cats aren't the only felines to enjoy quality time with cardboard: tigers, lions and leopards like boxes too.

They destroy the boxes. They tug at the boxes. And a caracal named Rusty just wants to play in his.

Watch the cats discover boxes below:

They rescued each other.

Xena the Warrior Puppy found a loving home with the Hickey family in Johns Creek, Georgia, after a rescue group restored her back to health from near death.

Xena immediately bonded with the Hickeys' 8-year-old son, Jonny, who has autism.

The inseparable pair are now both thriving, with Jonny's progress being called a "miracle" by some.

"I really believe God had a plan," Linda Hickey, Jonny's mother, told TODAY. "These two were destined to be together — to save each other at a level that humans just can’t understand."

"He is non-stop chatter now!" Linda, 44, told TODAY of her previously quiet, withdrawn son. "He has so much to say about his math, about what he did in P.E. He is the happiest child that I’ve ever seen him be in eight years."

The Hickeys adopted Xena the Warrior Puppy from Friends of DeKalb Animals, an animal rescue group. When the group posted photos of the pup on Facebook, Linda fell in love.

“Yes, I fell in love with a dog on the Internet!” said Linda

Gus Dorman is only 5 years old.

His IQ: 147.

To qualify for admission into Mensa, an individual needs to score 135 on an IQ test. Gus is now one the exclusive high-IQ society's youngest members.

The kindergartener can recite the periodic table of elements and list every American state and every country in the world from memory. While his peers are just learning to read, Gus read the newspaper and Wired magazine while potty training.

"He started reading when he was 18-months-old," Gus' dad, Rob Dorman, told the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "He was sitting on the porta-potty reading a newspaper. I noticed that he liked to look at maps so I put one up. In about a week's time, he had memorized everything on it. He's just always been very clever."

"He got into an argument with me because I told him that the capital of Alaska is Anchorage," Dorman told ABC News. "But it's not, it's Juneau."

The Collinsville, Illinois, youngster is obsessed with black holes and astrophysics — and is struggling to

In 1990, Jeri Cox Chastain or Reidville, South Carolina had her wallet stolen.

Last week, she got it back. It was in mint condition.

On Wednesday, an officer in the nearby Spartanburg called her:

"He said he had some property of mine that had been recovered, and I could not imagine what had been lost," Chastain told NBC News. "He said, 'I have a blast from your past. I'm holding your navy blue—' and I said, 'My wallet.' And he said, 'Yes, ma'am, your wallet.'"

In the 23 years since, Chastain says she's gone through "a whole lifetime of changes."

A single mother working two jobs at the time of the theft, Chastain is now remarried. She owns her own business. Her young son is now grown up.

The returned wallet, found in the ceiling of a second-storey women's washroom in a building a few miles from the now-closed hospital when Chastain once worked as a medical transcriptionist, now serves as a time capsule of sorts — complete with her son's birth certificate, her old driver's license, their

Twin toddlers can be a source of endless entertainment.

They fall asleep in unison. They laugh in unison. They fight over the pacifier. They rock out to daddy's guitar playing. They even speak their own language.

And sometimes they just really, really like their Ke$ha-playing monkey.

YouTube user Twinmama8111's youngsters get their groove on when their toy monkey starts playing their favourite age-inappropriate song.

When it stops? "Uh-oh."

Kids are amused by the darnedest things.

"Hear my voice, Alexander Graham Bell."

For the first time in history, we can hear the voice of the man who brought us the telephone.

The Smithsonian recently released a restored 1885 wax-disc recording from Bell's Washington, D.C. laboratory in which the inventor recites a bunch of numbers.

"Identifying the voice of Alexander Graham Bell—the man who brought us everyone else’s voice—is a major moment in the study of history," says John Gray, director of the museum. "Not only will this discovery allow us to further identify recordings in our collection, it enriches what we know about the late 1800s — who spoke, what they said, how they said it — and this formative period for experimentation in sound."

In addition to the identification of Bell, the Smithsonian also identified the voice of Alexander Melville Bell, the famous inventor’s father.

The Verge reports that the wax disc was initially deemed "unplayable" when Bell donated it to the museum. But thanks to a technique developed at the

Get ready to have your heart melted.

The Pet Collective recently posted a video of adorable 14-day-old rescue puppies feeding from a bottle.

MSN describes the cuteness:

"The breed is undetermined, unless adorable is a breed. Look at those paws the size of pinkies, listen to that slurping, watch that cuddling and try to look away. We dare you! It’s virtually impossible."

Warning: you'll want to adopt them all.

The puppies were rescued by Best Friends Animal Society.

"These are orphan puppies. Mom was injured and unable to take care of them, they were rescued from one of the Los Angeles City Shelters," Ellen Jannol, a volunteer with Best Friends Animal Society, writes on YouTube.

In the video, Jannol is feeding the puppies a homemade formula made of goats' milk, goats' milk yogurt, an egg yolk and Karo syrup.

"They will be available for adoption this weekend here in the LA area!" she adds.

"Let's pray these rescued little babies all get adopted to loving homes. They deserve it! Pure innocence

On Saturday, more than 140 corgis congregated at California's Huntington Beach Dog Park for what was likely the cutest beach party in history.

Organized by the appropriately named Corgi Nation, the third "Corgi Beach Day" saw 70 dog owners and more than 140 corgis convene by the water for some seriously adorable — and fashionable — playtime. (First everyone went for a 30-minute walk.)

Some dogs arrived in bikinis, others wore lifejackets, one donned a marijuana-themed bandana — it was 4/20, after all — and one even showed off in a multicoloured tutu.

The sartorial choices were all strategic ones: on a beach filled with pups that look nearly identical, identifying fashions helped owners keep track of their furry friends.

The next Corgi Beach Day is in July.
