animals

It's Tuesday, or as we like to call it... the second Monday. There's no doubt about it, after Monday, Tuesday is the worst. You're still not over the hump and the weekend cannot be seen from this distance. 

That is why we need to give a boost to propel us into tomorrow and into the weekend! The best way to do that? Through adorable pictures and videos of animals, of course! Your weekly dose of cuteness is back with a hearty refill! Each week, we scorn through the depth of the interweb to bring you ultra-cute animals being their ultra-cute selves.

Enjoy! 

These cats and dogs may have not quite mastered the art of hiding, but they sure are doing a terrific job by trying! We have faith they'll be experts in no time. 

There is an art when it comes to hiding, one a majority of these animals haven't yet achieved but once they do master it, they will become invisible to the human eye. If your pet has yet to master the art, you must encourage them. They will achieve their dreams but first, they need support from you.

This may have started off as a joke, but Hercule Van Wolfwinkle's "rubbish" pet portraits are being sold like hotcakes and have raised over £50k for a homeless charity. Also, we want one too. 

As BBC News reports, Phil Heckels, from Worthing, West Sussex, started working until the alias Hercule Van Wolfwinkle in 2020. Jokingly, he drew his his dog and put it on Facebook, offering paid-for commissions. He was just as surprised as anyone when genuine requests started coming in. Not only that, but his drawings have gotten really popular, and as pet owners ourselves, we can totally see why. Because the volume of requests was so big, it essentially became a lottery where Wolfwinkle decides who he draws and who he doesn't.

In addition to the drawings, Wolfwinkle writes accompanying fake profiles for each pet as well as reviews from the 'customers' - also written by Wolfwinkle. Additional merchandise, such as tea towels and calendars, has also been created. 

Initially, the drawings were marketed at the joke price of £299. Later on, that became Wolfwinkle's original fundraising target. Now, "he has ambitions to reach £75,000, and has publicly vowed to get his first tattoo - his signature on his buttocks - on reaching that goal."

Wolfwinkle told BBC: "This whole thing is absolutely brilliant. To be honest it still doesn't feel real. I remember being sat on the sofa with my wife, laughing that we would never reach £299, and now we're here. I'd love to do this forever, it's just working out how we keep it going because I've basically created a second full-time job for myself. The money and publicity for Turning Tides has been phenomenal."

Doggos can instantly lift one's spirits! And seeing as how it's no longer the weekend, we can pretty much guarantee that everyone needs this boost of pawsitive energy blasting their way! 

The beauty about dogs is that they're literally pieces of the sun, radiating with sunshine and happiness. They are also unintentionally hilarious. Seriously, some of the derpiest things you can find online are all thanks to dogs! Lucky for them, it simply adds to their untouchable adorableness! 

Welcome to 2021, friends, where things just seem to keep getting weirder. And of course, the internet is keeping up with the weird, bringing about one of the silliest yet funniest memes we've seen in a while. 

Only animal twitter has taken it a step further, deciding to use this strange 'Bernie Sanders wearing mittens' meme as an educational opportunity and teaching people about the size of different ocean creatures through it. Really, you shouldn't expect any less from animal twitter. 

Surprisingly, what you think would simply be a funny viral twitter thread, which it is,  is.. also unexpectedly and strangely educational twitter thread. So, it's time to laugh and learn at the same time. 

We humans are the ultimate servants to the superior beings, also known as cats. We pamper them, we make sure they're comfortable, we feed them, give them fresh filtered drinking water. Some of us provide them a castle in which they can perch themselves upon and judge us from above, their preference really. When they meow, we come running to make sure they're alright. When they throw up, we gently stroke their fur and tell them it's going to be alright, even though the place they've chosen to vomit is on your expensive rug. 

Oh, we also clean their pee and poop. If all that doesn't scream servant to you, then you need a hard look in the mirror and face the truth... we humans serve the cats. 

In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we learn different and efficient ways cats can properly utilize their humans in order to achieve the best results. Those results being living like the true kings and queens they are.

Mondays are always tough and that's why we're set on bringing you a weekly dose of wholesome animal memes to help lessen the blow of it all. Animal memes are always a treat but when you sprinkle that wholesome element to it, it just becomes a concoction of perfection. 

Wishing you all a wholesome week! 

Hello, fellow cat lovers! We hope you're in the mood for some major cuteness and funnies! We've got a lovely selection of Instagram's current hottest vids. All cats, some wholesome, some funny, some confusing... all wonderful. If it wasn't good, we wouldn't share it here with you! 

Every week we try to find the absolute best of the best when it comes to cat videos. It's certainly difficult to narrow it down to 5 videos because ALL cats are adorable and we obviously want them all to be featured and seen! But alas, not all hold the other elements we search for: wholesomeness, silliness, weird as heck, and overall star quality. 

We hope you enjoy this week's video selection! 

It is time to finish yet another week and start off the new week on the right foot, and this time, we're doing with tumblr animal posts that are all happy positivity, laughs, and animal shenanigans that only tumblr knows how to capture perfectly. Because there is no better way to start a week off than with funny animals, and we all know it. 

So, enjoy this animal tumblr treat and let it help you stay positive even through these difficult times. This period may be rough, but animals will always be on our side, putting smiles on our faces and brightening our days.

What's the cutest part of a cat? That's a tricky question because every part of a cat is the cutest part! 

Including their adorable fluffy kankles! Something that no one seems to care about in humans has an entire subreddit devoted to it for cats. Why? Because every part of a cat is the cutest! Cat's feet, also known as "peets" in the cat-lover community, has a new term to add to its ever-growing collection: kankles. Kankles are kitty ankles and we are just as obsessed with them as the rest of the world. And if you aren't obsessed with them... you're about to be. 

Happy Caturday, everyone! We are so excited to be celebrating this blessed day with all of you, our fellow cat lovers! Each Caturday, we carry on our tradition of devouring countless and endless cat memes. After that... yup, you guessed it! We devour even MORE cat memes. 

After digesting all those memes, we'll grow awfully tired and indulge in a lovely cat nap that will last roughly 16-20 hours. Once we've awoken from our nap, we must terrorize those who are currently asleep. Trust us, it's the Caturday way. 

If you're itching for even more cat goodies, be sure to follow our newest Instagram page, 'I Can Has Cheezburgerz' which features all adorable, funny, wholesome, and original creations!
