Imagine: it's the middle of the week, nighttime, you're sleeping, everything is lovely, then suddenly BOOM. Something crashes in your house. If you're first reaction, instead of fear of an intruder, is a resigned sigh and muttering the words: "3am... again..." congratulations, you're a cat owner, and your cat is having some zoomie time. 

We don't know precisely why our little crazy furballs have these intense fits of energy at the absolutely worst times, but they do. And though when they wake us up from our precious sleep in the middle of the night on a workday, we might want to cry ever so slightly, but... at least we have a little cat demon to cuddle.

When it comes to rescued animals, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it takes a while for them to get used to their new environment, to learn to love and trust the humans that saved them. But once it does happen, once you see your gorgeous rescues with their bellies up and their eyes closed, you are filled with such love and joy it's hard to contain. 

And even when it's not your own rescue, that uncontainable joy is spread to everyone. So, when twitter users decided to share stories of them rescuing their pets and how happy those pets are now, we knew that we had to share some of them with you too - to bring some of that joy into your day as well. 

If you have your own wholesome rescue stories to share, come talk to us in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

You know how you're in love with dogs? And by extent, any dog-looking this is also something that you want to pet? Yeah, we love wolves too, but... how big and dangerous are wolves actually? Because as far as we see, wolves are super affectionate, and they're the biggest goofballs, and yes, to us, they are basically dogs. 

Well, tumblr is about to give you a reality check by showing you just how big wolves are... But if you're anything like us, them being totally dangerous, enormous, and not always dog-like in behavior is... not going to stop you even slightly from wanting to cuddle them.

Hands up if you have a mini house panther! We have a deep love for black cats. Mostly because black cats tend to be misunderstood and underappreciated when it comes to the variety of different cats out there. For centuries black cats have been getting a bad rep but recently things are starting to change. We feel more people now than ever are seeing black cats in a new light, and it's so wonderful to see. 

Black cats are the least likely to be adopted from a shelter but we're here to tell you, scratch that, we're here to show you why you'd want a black cat. A cat black means you'll best friends with a mini house-panther. And who in their right mind wouldn't want a panther of their own? It's like Rajah from Disney's Aladdin, only way cooler. 

If you ever encounter someone who is considering getting a pet but is unsure, give them a link to this article and watch them be immediately convinced to get one after they read it. Because today, our amazing users have shared with us stories of ways in which their pets comfort them, and we found ourselves grateful to our own pets all over again. 

It's like they can tell when we need them, coming to us and showing us affection in the best way that they can. And if your pet has ever tried to comfort you, you know that no matter how sad you were, having them showing you love like that did manage to make you at least a little happier. 

Why, it's a horse, of course! Sometimes we just get the urge to horse around and ignore all our current responsibilities and that is essentially what this list is all about. Except, not only will we be horsin' around, but we'll be horsin' around with horse memes! Which is even better because it includes two of our favorite things, goofing off and animals. 

When it comes to animal memes, we've pretty much seen it all so it's refreshing to come across some memes we have yet to dip our toes into, and we gotta say... feels good. Strange, but good. We hope this list of horses helps you continue your horsin' around and leaves you with a smile and lack of accomplishment! 

Welcome back, fellow animal lovers! And you're right on time for your prescription refill on cuteness, which is always nice to see!

Once a week, we search through the interwebs and pick out the absolute cutest and most viral animal pics and vids currently dominating the web. It's never disappointing. How can it be? Animal pics and vids are always the cutest things on the internet and more often than not, the only things that make us feel all happy inside.

A weekly dose of cuteness is an essential part of one's diet and we're just here to help you get your weekly dose of serotonin to get you through another week!
