It's been the Monday-est week ever. And the fact that it's only Wednesday is certainly upsetting but we are choosing to look on the bright side of things and remember that we are halfway through this long week and the weekend is within reach once more. 

It's officially humpday and we need something to boost our spirits, something to give us the energy to get through the rest of today, and hopefully, the rest of this week at ease. That's where we come in and deliver this lovely gathering of fresh and hilarious animal memes in the middle of the week. It's all for you. 

When the week feels particular difficult we feel the need to bring some laughter and smile to the mix, it helps us so we figured it may help you as well! 

Us humans take months, sometimes over a year to take our first steps, while many animals only ever take a couple minutes. But some animal babies are capable of even more than that, like these tiny totally safe-to-cuddle bear cubs who have already perfected the art of climbing trees at their tini-tiny age. 

It's an experience every tiny bear cub will go through at some point in their lives, and not only is it insanely impressive, it is also incredibly cute. So, take a look at these pawdoable bear cubs taking their first steps (up a tree) with their mommies there to help and protect them and enjoy your heart melting of cute. 

Cats, cats, and more cats. We adore our cats, from the first moment we see them to the moment they leave us. They are a part of us, our families, our lives. 

We're there for their weird antics, late-night zoomies, early morning cuddles, all their vet trips, and sadly, for the moment they cross the rainbow bridge. We celebrate the life of humans and cats. Once a week, we honor all the cats, in this cat medley of different emotions. Some of these cat moments beautiful are silly, some are 'aww' invoking moments, and some are heartbreaking moments. There's a whole lot to take in but they're all cats and they are all beautiful. 

For those who have recently lost a loved one, our hearts are with you. They may be gone but never forgotten. 

Anyone who has ever walked a dog knows that dogs are absolute magnets of attention. People stop, people wanna pet, sometimes you'll even start up a conversation with another dog owner and well, since your dogs are friends now, you kinda have to be friends too. Maybe you'll even find your future lady companion through one of these dog-initiated meetings.  

Basically, dogs are the best chick magnets, but this time, we mean it literally. Dogs are total BFFs with chicks. Tiny yellow chicks. And it's so adorable it hurts. So, yes, even literally, dogs are better chick magnets than all of us. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Bubby, the 3-legged cat.

Bubby hasn't had the easiest life. According to a Facebook post by Exploits Valley SPCA Adoptables, the year was 2012 when Bubby first emerged in a stranger's kitchen. By then, he was already full-grown and already missing his arm and half of his tail. Bubby had begun to form a friendship with the man whose house he randomly showed up in. Bubby would come often to play with the man's cat, Seson, and when Seson passed, Bubby still came around to visit. 

The man loved Bubby and wanted to keep him but was unsure if Bubby already belonged to anyone, as Bubby was constantly trying to get outside. He determined that Bubby could not be contained. 

In 2017, the man sadly passed away and Bubbly entered the house once more after his death but never returned. The man's family knew just how much the man cared for Bubby and wished for him to be cared for after his passing, but without Bubby's return, they assumed he had passed on himself. 

From 2017-2019, life had been undoubtedly difficult for Bubby. In the summer of 2019, a man by the name Ray Pinsent, who knew the man and Bubby's close relationship, happened to spot Bubby once more. Ray knew Bubby wouldn't be able to survive long on his own, so he set to catch him. Ray went to the man's house, there were new people living there who were afraid of cats, and he pleaded with them to please open the door should she see Bubby and call him. 

The followed day, Ray's phone rang and he was told the cat was in the kitchen. Ray took Bubby's lifeless body to the shelter and the vet claimed that Bubby began to purr while laying on the exam table. As Bubby was recovering, his picture was posted online for any information and that is when the man's daughter came forward, emotional, and brought Bubby the dishes he used to eat out of when we would come for visits. She told the story of Bubby to a rescue volunteer at the shelter. Bubby was then adopted by that same rescue volunteer Sarah MacLeod

Bubby's new owner, fell in love with his sad human eyes and couldn't part with him so she took Bubby home writing, "Bubby purrs the minute he wakes up in the morning and as he goes to sleep every night. He's never asked to go outside once. He must know that he's home now, for good."

We're over the moon that Bubby has found the purrfect family that will love him forever. You can follow Bubby's journey on Instagram!

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Eric And Ollie, the Persian cats!

Oh doggos... sometimes, we look at their little faces and just know - we just know - exactly what they are thinking. We've known them for so long, we know exactly what that 33 degree angle ear twitch means. It's part of what makes us love them so much- they just come off almost human in how expressive and obvious they are. 

Twitter user @BlairBraverman definitely thinks so. A twitter thread she made of the most expressive pictures of her doggos has gone viral, and so much love adorableness is pouring out of those pics, it makes our hearts warm. And it will do the same to yours.

The perfect cure for those tough days - Loffy Llama Comics. 

Meet the talented artist behind these adorably wholesome comics -- Chris Yang! We were lucky enough to get in contact with Chris and find out more about him and how 'LoffyLlama' came to be, "My name's Chris Yang, the creator of Loffyllama - a wholesome comic series featuring a blue llama. The comic's themes range from friendship, kindness, love to happiness, anxiety, self-motivation, and much more that are related to our daily lives."

Chris continues, "I started this comic series to help to spread positive vibes around the world. After going through some of the worst moments of my life, I've learned that happiness can be really simple. We often complain about how bad our lives are, but sometimes a good friend can really make our day a little brighter. This is why Loffy was created as a heartwarming and cheerful llama who always try to bring happiness to his friends.

Through simple illustrations that contain little to no text, I hope my cute characters can bring a smile to someone's face when he has a rough day."

We can confirm that these comics have brought a smile to our faces, we can only hope they bring a smile to yours, too! Follow LoffyLlama Comics on Instagram for more uplifting llama comics!

And each week, it's filled with surprises in the best way possible. This week, we have a handful of 'aww' moments, some moments that amazed us and moments that had us laughing. We believe this week's video collection is absolute purrfection -- a little something for everyone.

It's been raining cats and dogs lately and we're in the mood for an abundance of cats and dogs in the form of tweets! In the spirit of Thanksgiving weekend, a tweet dump full of cats and dogs is the ice cream on top of the pumpkin pie, the delightful topping to a wonderfully long weekend, which, we hope, you were able to see family, unwind and relax. 

Soon, it'll be time to head back into the real world once more but don't worry, we'll be here to cheer you with endless cuteness and neverending cat memes. 

We've an update about one of the most positive stories to come out of 2020, and the update is just as wholesome as the original story. The (tiny) giant panda cub that was born at the Smithsonian's National Zoo three weeks ago has finally gotten a name, and it is the most appropriate and cutest name of all. Xiao Qi Ji is his name in Chinese, but it translates to 'little miracle' in English. 

The little giant panda has gone absolutely viral in the past couple of weeks after a video of his miraculous birth was released by the zoo, and since the world fell in love with the cub, the zoo decided to let the world participate in naming him. Of course, the internet does not disappoint when it comes to baby animals. 

We were given a choice of 4 names, and after three weeks and nearly 135,000 votes that have been cast, the adorable name 'little miracle' was chosen. The long waiting period was not an accident, it is part of Chinese tradition to wait 100 days before naming the cub. We wish the little cub luck and prosperity, and for his mother, Mei Xiang, to have many more adorable healthy cubs in the future!
