animals

This year (more than ever) it feels like we're struggling to find a smidgen of good news in a fiery garbage pit of tragedy. Every once in a while we get lucky, and today is one of those days. Over a year ago, Tumblr user gallusrostromegalus shared an incredibly wholesome (and incomplete) list of animals their grandfather brought home to their grandma during their 67 year marriage. The list is comprehensive, funny, and reminds us that kindness does exist in the world. 

It's also not the first time that gallustromegalus has gone viral for animal-related content. The hilarious antics of their parents dog, Arwen, caught the attention of many media outlets such as Buzzfeed. They're currently working on a book of family lore, but if you enjoyed this thread (and maybe the one about Arwen), consider donating to their Patreon. You'll receive more heartwarming content, and will be supporting a disabled writer who depends on their creativity to pay the bills.  

These are probably the deep philosophical thoughts crossing Their mind right now. 

There are a lot of weird animals that we don't see often but that doesn't mean they aren't adorable. Many of these animals are unfamiliar because they are rare or endangered. Others simply don't fit the typical cute and fuzzy mold.

You can see more comics over here.

Cats can usually give off the vibe that they don't need you, want you and just don't care...But deep, deep, we talking like really deep, they really do care and love you! Just like these cuties! 

A good friendship, we all know, transcends all boundaries. 

They may look like angry little lambs that are constantly judging you but they're still the cutest little poodle kittens (#SelkirkRex)and our hearts are screaming! You can meet, see and stay up to date with the kittens via their adorable Instagram page and even on Facebook! Oh, and did we forget to mention that these adorable curly-haired kittens are Gina and Gepetto (The name of the Instagram page comes from, Gina is the name of the 4 babies which are Tony, Sosa, Manny, and Elvira, and Gepetto is an old Ocicat cat (color grey spotted) also referred to as the "Godfather" ;). Oh and that they are from Switzerland! 

Get ready to fall in love with these baby lambs kittens! 

We are crying here...

Timing is indeed everything...

Oh, sweet, sweet doggo thoughts. Is there anything in this world purer than the Twitter handle, "Thoughts of Dog?" The answer to that question is no. 

Thoughts of Dog has been a beacon of light in these unsure times, it's something we can always count on to provide us with some smiles, and some laughter. All we can say is, thank goodness for Thoughts of Dog...  and for dogs everywhere. Dogs truly deserve the world.

If for some unexplained reason, these newfound thoughts aren't providing you with enough wholesomeness, we can always venture back in time for previous tweets! 

And we "Gotta Catch Them All!"
