adorable

Oh cats... is there anything funnier than them? They are the biggest derps in the whole wide world, running into walls, zooming in the middle of the night, falling from random places. They're hilarious, we all know it, and we all love them despite it and exactly for it.

Now, take the hilarity of cats and match it with absolute perfect timing, and the hilarity quadruples. And from that, we get pictures of cats who are juuust about to sneeze. Purrfection. We cannot help but giggle at these silly faces. And you know what, this only makes us love cats that much more. 

Have you ever kissed your cat on the forehead and thought: "Cats don't do that to each other, right? What does my cat think I'm doing when I kiss its head? Does it think I'm trying to eat it or does it understand that it's affection?" You're not the only one. We all wonder whether our pets understand us or not, considering how incredibly different we are. 

Today, tumblr is explaining to us one of those behaviors that we wonder so much about and - spoiler alert - they don't think we're eating them. Other than being hilarious, tumblr is also good at explaining things about animals, and the explanation tumblr gives for this one is an incredibly cute one. They also explain what cats think when we accidentally step on them, and it is somehow even more wholesome. 

Turns out, even our pets can have bad days, too. And here we are just constantly thinking about ourselves and our own problems. We can vent to whomever we feel like but who do our pets vent to? Poor furbabies. We oughta take a moment and ask them just how THEIR year is going! With us constantly in their space, in their homes, it can't be easy for them.

We hope you know that we hear you and understand! Everyone has bad days, pets included. You can let out your anger and frustration on us, we'll continue to love you unconditionally. 

In New Jersey, when coronavirus cases were high and most of the state was sheltering at home, a little one-room NICU Kitten Nursery that has saved hundreds of little kittens had to close its doors. 

nj.com reports that, since "[t]he space was too small to safely social distance," a veterinary technician with St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center named Friedman who was also the manager of the nursery and a vet tech called Nick Eckert "took the animals into their own homes to care for them." Dozens of kittens, many of them badly injured and desperately in need of help. 

"It was very depressing that when we should have been celebrating our one-year anniversary, we were moving our nursery into our homes," said Friedman. "I was terrified that we would lose the program because of COVID-19. And I knew that because of COVID-19, it was critical to keep the program going." No one was popping in to help, and there was no team of volunteers coming in and out to help the kittens.

"I literally had kittens being dropped off at my house at midnight almost every night," Friedman tells nj.com "It was the hardest work I ever had to do because I was by myself."

Now, not only was their operation in their homes successful and they are able to keep helping the kittens, their nursery is expanding, so much so that they had to move the make-shift nursery out of their homes and into a bigger location - "three times the size - complete with 28 cages and multiple rooms to provide separate spaces for healthy, sick, and critical kittens."

The problem is that, even with more space, the nursery can't take in many more new kittens since they do not have the volunteer support that they need. "We can't run this program without volunteers," explained Friedman. So, now, they are looking for volunteers, and we hope that if you are in the area and are able to help, you would lend a helping hand to this wonderful operation and help them help these incredible kittens.

We could all use an energy boost of wholesome goodness! Honestly, we could use this boost every day. The days are getting shorter and it's getting colder. We're already missing the Summer that barely existed. 

However, we have to hold on and remind ourselves of happiness and good in the world. In our case, that means everything animal-related. And when it comes to animals, there's nothing quite as satisfying as a wholesome gallery of precious animal gifs. Their movements, their overwhelming cuteness, it does the heart good to take it all in.

It's National Hug A Bear Day! And we here at Cheezburger are celebrating! Now, it's important to remember that you should actually go out and hug a bear. That is a bit dangerous at the end of the day, no matter how cute and cuddly bears may appear. 

No, National Hug A Bear Day is actually a day that refers to teddy bears and is meant to celebrate hugging! Yeah, you heard right. On this day, you aren't supposed to go out and hug actual bears. The way to celebrate National Hug A Bear day is by hugging your teddy bear, or by hugging your friend's teddy bear, or giving a big ol' 'bear hug' to one of your friends or family members. 

That doesn't mean that actual bears shouldn't be celebrated, of course, since bears are unbearably awesome. So, since we can't come give y'all bear hugs right now, as a compromise, we've decided to give you an adorable collection of some of the most teddy bear-like looking bear cubs instead.
