animal pics

It's the middle of the week yet again, and we know that you're starting to feel tired right now and are looking for something to give you the inspiration that you need to get through the rest of the week. Well, you've come to the right place. Welcome to our weekly installment of one of our favorite segments: animal pictures worth more than 1000 words. 

Cute pictures, funny ones, and the kind of amazing pictures that will remind you just how cool animals are. There's something in here for everyone - one of these pictures will speak to you, inspire you, and give you that exact push of creativity that you were looking for.

There are some moments in life where we find ourselves absolutely speechless. Looking at something amazing or unique or plain beautiful, we open our mouths to try to say something and find that no words are good enough - not even 1000 words would be enough. These moments have a tendency to stay with us until the end of our life and inspire us for just as long.

Every week, we bring you a collection of pictures that encompass that feeling and that will hopefully bring you that inspiration. And all of them are starring the most beautiful subjects of all - animals. Cute, funny, beautiful, amazing, and everything in between, enjoy this week's collection of pictures worth more than 1000 words. 

Do you know those times when you catch your pet doing something really weird and just have to snap a picture and send it to your friends? No explanation, no context, just a picture of your black cat staring at your new black cat figurine and having an existential crisis. Yeah, those are some of our favorite moments too.

Week by week, we bring you a whole collection of moments such as these - pictures with no context at all that you know there's a story behind, and that their story could never be covered in anything less that 1000 words. They're funny, cute, inspiring, and totally perfectly timed, and they are the best ones we've seen this week. So, enjoy and may you be inspired. 

Imgur user, ARussianAndHisBike, has a reoccurring series of cat images and it's all for the sole purrpose of spreading joy and bringing peace to yourself. Whenever ARussianAndHisBike is feeling angry, frustrated, or concerned, looking at images of cats online really helps. 

Truthfully, we do it, too. And definitely believe it works! They say having a cat is beneficial for one's health, there are studies that having a cat can lower your stress levels, and therefore lower your risk of heart disease. According to the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, "Owning a cat can actually lower one's risk of various heart diseases, including stroke, by around 30 percent."

Not only can they lower your risk for heart disease, but their purr can help heal joint mobility after an injury! Pubmed studies have discovered "that frequencies in the 18-35 HZ range have a positive effect on joint mobility after an injury."

And there's even more and more health benefits when it comes to cats. And even though these following images aren't physically there with you, perhaps their strange magical healing properties can be delivered to you through a simple act image. 

And we're obsessed. Got a favorite animal picture? Twitter user @meetissai has probably made a mini sculpture of it! According to 'Meetissai', this all began when searching for a meme that's been brought to life. Unable to find one, decided to create them! Enjoy some of the greatest pictures on the internet brought to life!
