How pure and wholesome is this friendship! We always have a soft spot for unlikely animal friendships. It just goes to show that animals are so accepting and pure.
An owl is hitching a refreshing ride in the lake on the back of this calm and happy German Shepherd. What could you possibly see today that'll top that?
Enjoy this adorable friendship going on an adventure!
Is there anything better in this world than your cat letting you rub their belly? We don't think so. The amount of trust and love that they show by doing nothing more exposing that soft, soft, floofy belly of theirs makes us feel honored. Morning, evening, middle of the night, whenever it may be, if the belly is up and your kitty is asking for you to pet it, you must do so. Take the opportunity while it lasts and hope to impress that little feline enough so that they offer you this honor yet again in the future.
May this awwdorable, heartwarming collection of cats who love getting their bellies petted give you luck and encourage your kitty to do the same. And if you're in the mood for any other kitty fluffiness, check out these cats with chubby and squishy cheeks.
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!
We're not crying -- you're crying!
This is beyond heartwarming! Imagine growing up, feeling/looking different than others, and the moment you go to an adoption center to find your new best friend - they look like you.
That's exactly what happened when sweet 2-year-old Bentley meet his new puppy. Bentley had already had surgeries for the cleft lip and it isn't even noticeable today. Yet, he came across a puppy that reminded him of himself, and they instantly fell in love with each other.
The Jackson County Animal Shelter, Michigan, shared this beautiful moment between Bentley and his new puppy on their Facebook, which went viral and racked up 33k shares.
We wish this perfect pair all the best and many years of love and joy ahead of them!
My, oh, my -- it has been HOT lately! Unless you're coming from the other side of the world, we just gotta say this heatwave is no joke! And if we're feeling the heat, we can only imagine how hot it must be for our furry friends in this world.
SaveAFox Rescue, the largest fox rescue in the US that allows the most space for foxes to 'feel wild,' is providing some refreshing treats to all their foxes! And just like kids, some will be picky about which slice of watermelon they decide upon!
It's adorable to see how different each fox's personality is!
At just about 15 inches tall, Dik-Dik's might just be the cutest animal around! Dik-dik's are actually the world's smallest antelope species, a "dwarf" antelope, as if they couldn't be any cuter -- these animals are fun-sized forever.
They are commonly found in southern Africa and have tiny tufts of hair that are small horns, much like a giraffe. The males have the horn and the females don't, just like deer.
Dik-dik's seem to be a mix of everything we love and combined into one insanely cute animal.
Tuesday's are basically an extension of Monday's. We know it, you know it, we're positive everyone feels this way. And because of Tuesday's being just as blah as Monday's, we needed to come up with a dose of cuteness to help us all through it.
The weekly dose of cuteness is very vital to our nutrition. If you skip a week, please take the other dose as soon as you remember. The best part of this prescription is that you don't need any referrals, and you never have to wait. Each and every Tuesday, you can count on us to provide you with the cuteness you need to get through today and the rest of this week.
There's always some concern when it comes to leaving your baby with a cat. It's a fair thing to worry about since we know, as cat owners, that no matter how much our cat loves us, accidents happen, and sometimes we get scratched. Despite that, you might have noticed that cats have a tendency to want to be around a baby - smell it, sleep snuggled up next to it, lick its head. It might be because a lot of times babies smell like milk. It might be because cats are just curious creatures and babies are new and interesting additions to their homes.
There's no obvious explanation for the care cats show to babies, but one thing that we do know is that it is omg so adorable. To show you just how sweet cats and babies can be together, we have gathered 24 pictures of just that to warm your heart and make your stomach flutter throughout the day.
If you're in the mood for some more animal baby adorableness, here are some pets showing love to their pregnant hoomans.
Three weeks ago, an adorable 5-week-old kitten was brought into Albuquerque Animal Welfare for emergency surgery with her face and jaw crushed. The kitten - Mittens - had to go through multiple surgeries, but unfortunately, in the beginning, they weren't enough. Since multiple surgeries were too expensive for the shelter to cover, the veterinarians that were treating Mittens offered to do the rest of the treatment for free and, in the process, came up with a new, innovative way to help Mittens, using... buttons.
We love the boops! If there is a snoot in our eyesight, our immediate reaction is to boop it. No matter what animal, and no matter whose!
But, please don't go around boop-ing snoots of those who don't belong to you... could be weird. It's simply hard to resist such boop-able snouts, especially when they get all in your face, like the images shared below.
If you have a pet with a boop-able snoot, share a picture in the comments below!
It should be illegal to be so small and so adorable! I guess that's why there's an 'Illegally Smol' subreddit! Cats already dominate our hearts and when you introduce us to some smol, smol, very smol kittens... well, our hearts pretty much just explode into a million pieces and scatter around the room. And there is no one to piece it back together.
Just too much cuteness in one post can be detrimental. If you dare to continue, proceed with caution.
You have been warned.
The Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles is getting plenty of kitty attention this summer! According to the National Park Service, 13 kittens were born to 5 different mothers between May and August.
It's the biggest mountain lion baby boom to occur in the past 18 years within such a short timeframe! National Park Service such a short period of time for the past 18 years!
Jeff Sikich, a wildlife biologist, said in a previous statement, "This level of reproduction is a great thing to see, especially since half of our mountains burned almost two years ago during the Woolsey Fire."
When the story was shared on Twitter, a few users were wondering if this new kitten boom was in any way related to the pandemic and vanishing foot traffic. There's no way to know for sure but if so, we're glad to hear of another happy outcome from this year's madness.
Check out some of the insanely adorable kittens below!

Once again, we have gathered up the heckin' cutest and silliest cat videos on Instagram and we never ever get tired of such adorableness. If you do, this might not be the place for you. However, we have a slight suspicion you're like us and can't get enough of cat-related pics and vids either.

Baby giraffes are so darn cute, it's hard to think straight whenever you come across a picture of one! With those giant eyes surrounded by long, long, extremely long eyelashes, a beautiful spotted coat, and their ridiculously cute disheveled hair-covered horns!
Obviously, they haven't grown in those horns, called ossicones, but we need to formally address them because they do deserve our attention.
Get ready to fall in love with some (if not all) the following baby giraffes:
Cats and dogs are very different, that's true. They may spend most of their day sleeping and cleaning themselves, but all of us cat owners know that sometimes, our cats have very dog-like moments. We love them no matter what, of course, but the level of energy that they have sometimes can be straight-up shocking.
Sprinting in circles and falling off chairs in the process, here is a list of cats forgetting that they're not dogs and also that their tails are indeed attached to their bodies and going for a chase.
