What a gift animals are to humanity! They are the essence of purity and wholesomeness. 

Can you imagine a world without them? Nah, I didn't want to even try to imagine a world like that either. Our world would be so empty without their love and beauty. On the other hand, mosquitos can kindly disappear and I don't think a soul in the known universe would mind its disappearance. 

Getting off-topic again, these following adorable gifs have nothing to do with mosquitos and that's just another reason to love it so! 

Oh boi, oh boi! These are some serious joyful expressions! You remember that feeling you used to get at the start of Autumn, and you come across a specially crunchy-looking leaf that you just need to step on? Maybe that's how dogs feel but with all leaves!

Ah, Autumn. Don't fight us on this but Autumn might be the best season of all. Hear me out on this, first:

1. It finally gets cooler but not too cold

2. Halloween

3. Cozy sweaters, warm drinks, overall sense of happiness

4. HALLOWEEN

Oh, and if you live in an area where the leaves change colors, that would be on the list too. But we don't, so it's not up there. 

We hope seeing these joyful dogs frolicking in the leaves gets you pumped up that Autumn is nearly here! Get excited people, these dogs sure are! 

Apparently, there's a theory that being groomed with a toothbrush reminds cats - kittens and older cats alike - of the way that their mothers groomed them when they were babies. The internet put it to the test, and... it seems like the theory is accurate. 

So, take a look at these videos and pictures of cats enjoying this strange activity. Some are hesitant at first, but all seem to warm up to it after a few tries at most. Incredibly, even the ones that really don't like being petted regularly take to it. Try it too if you have a cat. I know that I will. Maybe your cat will react in the same way. For more animal cuteness, we have some tiny baby dik-diks that'll just melt your heart.

Bringing you the best of this week's cat twitter! Check out the tweets that people have been interested in throughout the week that are all. about. cats. Because we know that there's nothing to better end the week with than puuurfect twitter cat content. There's something for everyone, that's the beauty of the craziness of twitter.

It's time to relax and forget the difficulties of the past week for just a moment. So, make a cup of tea, sit on the couch, try to get your cat to cuddle with you and fail, then try again and and - if you're lucky - succeed, and enjoy this cat-tastic collection. And if you're interested in more of what twitter has to offer, take a look at this week's collection of the most popular tweets about animals. 

We all like to think we know everything there is to know about our favorite animals. The truth is, we'll never fully know everything about them and we will always be learning new facts. 

You might know all of these cat facts listed below, or you might not. You might learn a new fact and that's always exciting and fun. 

Either way, we can all agree that we love cats and their facts only make us feel that much more closer to them. 

Animals on skateboards. Something that you probably haven't seen before. An adventurous human transportation tool that even most humans don't use. From little turtles on mini skateboards to fully grown cats and dogs on human-sized skateboards. Somehow, these pictures manage to be ridiculous, adorable, and kind of amazing all at the same time. To the point of making us want to somehow get our pets on skateboards. 

Most importantly though, these genius pics are so out there that they are the absolute perfect distraction for when you need something to not think about too much. This, and also a collection of dogs who behave suspiciously like cats hmm...

We're always in need of a pick-me-up and our go-to is animals. 

Animals bring a monumental amount of positivity to our lives, it's simply immeasurable. They provide us with comfort, with laughter, with so much happiness. We try to capture a small portion of that magic and deliver it to you. Sure, it's not the exact same as having animals in your life, but it does a good job of reminding us that there's still positivity in this world.
