Cats

Sometimes, even in the animal world, unlikely interspecies families come to be. And Bertie the Labrador became one such father to no less than 7 orphaned kittens. 

As reported by Metro, Bertie is a rescue pup himself. He was given a forever home by head nurse Rachel, and Rachel, being the amazing animal momma that she is, did not merely stop once she had one pet in the house. Suddenly, after she had fostered these 7 kittens, Bertie found himself surrounded by itty bitty fluffy bundles of joy, and incredibly, he became they mom that they lost.

Not every kitten is born the same as the previous one. Some cats are born blind, other cats are born with extra toe beans, and this kitten was born with a few issues in his legs. Meet JD, the three legged kitten whose back left foot was curled under and who couldn't walk. 

As reported by Love Meow, JD was a three year old tabby cat who was found abandoned alongside his siblings. A Good Samaritan who came across them on the street could not help but pick them up and try to help them, but unfortunately, she soon realized that she was not equipped to give them the kind of special care that they needed, especially JD. 

Not giving up on them, she reached out to people who could help. Today, JD is happier than ever, adopted and living with another "impurrfect" cat with three legs.

Calling all cat lovers! Come around because it is time for this week's cat celebration where we give love to everything feline. From the cutest to the funniest to the most wholesome kitty stories. This cat medley is nothing but cat appreciation, and only cat lovers are allowed. 

In these weekly kitty committees, we appreciate everything about cats. We appreciate cats being jerks, we appreciate the moments in which our aloof cats finally choose us and give us love, we appreciate cats' crazy moments of running across our faces in the middle of the night as well as leaving fur on every piece of furniture that we own. We love cats and all of their sides, and the kitty cats in this medley are just a few examples of just how purrfect cats are. 

Get ready for one of the most incredibly heartwarming adoption stories ever. A family with no less than 9 cats has come across a 10th, and even though some would say that 9 cats is quite a lot, for this family, 9 cats are fine, it's number 10 where the line is finally crossed. So, with a sad heart, the kids in this family realized that the 10th kitten needs to go to someone else, and the person who adopted it got a letter from these kids that is so heartwarming, we challenge you not to smile while reading it. 

Adoption stories are always wholesome, but this one is something special. Not only is this family happy to adopt so many cats in need, when they give one away, it is with the hope of making the adopted happier as well. Get the tissues, folks, and say thank you to this momma for raising some amazing kids. 

Most times, adopting a pet is a conscious decision. You make plans, you go to shelters, you choose your new lifelong companion. True, you may change your mind and adopt a senior pet instead of a baby pet at the last second, but it's your choice. Except when it isn't. Sometimes, it's the animals who adopt their humans, and we can do nothing but give them the love and affection that they ask for. The following story is one of those times. 

A guy who had no plans whatsoever to have a cat could not help but give the cat food when he saw that the cat needed it, and the rest.. is history. Now, this beautiful stray cat has a forever homeof its own with the man who rescued it, and we are so happy for both of them. 

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the cutest thing that you will see all week long. That's right, if you're feeling the need for some extra positivity, cuteness, and wholesomeness in your life, you have found yourself in the perfect place. It is indeed time to take in this week's dose of cute. 

From awwdorable baby animals being their tiny little selves to senior pets living their best lives and ruling their kingdoms to stories of animals being adopted and rescued and falling in love with their new families. You will get nothing but cuteness and wholesomeness here, and goodness know that if there is anything that we need more of in our lives, it's cuteness. Enjoy!!!

When animals are pregnant, they do what they need to do to keep their babies safe, even if it means asking for help from the scary huge humans. This cat momma is the purrfect example of that. Even though she was totally feral, she found herself in a situation where she needed help, and she was ready to take it, reluctantly trusting her human with her tiny kittens, because that's what loving animal mommas do. 

Amazingly, this totally feral cat slowly but surely fell in love with her new human and became a total cuddle monster. Now, she's a cuddler and loves attention, and her insanely adorable babies are in safe hands. It's a wholesome story all around of love and acceptance, and we hope you enjoy reading about it as much as we did. 

We love our pets more than anything in the whole wide world, that's a fact, and we want to keep them happy and healthy for as long as possible. We wish to see them grow with us, dogs and cats who are calm and contented, until they are the most distinguished and gorgeous senior pets. Well... bring the tissues and get ready to wipe away some happy tears, everyone, because the following is a collection of cats who have reached these ripe old ages and are still going strong. 

These kinds of animal posts bring us hope. Seeing our seniors happy makes us happy in turn. We celebrate each of our senior pets' birthdays unsure if there will be a next one, and therefore cherishing each and every year more. At this point, it's about making them as happy as possible for as long as we can and about making every moment the best moment. 

If your cat is an outdoor cat, then you, as the owner, know that shenanigans are on the horizon. Your cats will annoy you mildly when they come back and scream by the front door for you to open it. You know that sometimes you'll find your cat in the weirdest places, sitting at some restaurant or visiting their other families outside. You don't know what is going on in their lives outside, and you accept it. But, if your cat is an indoors cat, and it runs away... that's grief right there. 

The cat doesn't necessarily see it that way though, and this hilarious and viral twitter thread about a cat that ran away and was found the same day proves it. Not only did this little cat hooligan have the gall to run away with no warning, when it was found 12 hours later, it had the nerve to make faces and act all sassy. 

Welp, at least we got a funny cat picture out of it and some absolutely hilarious viral tweets.
