Animals on skateboards. Something that you probably haven't seen before. An adventurous human transportation tool that even most humans don't use. From little turtles on mini skateboards to fully grown cats and dogs on human-sized skateboards. Somehow, these pictures manage to be ridiculous, adorable, and kind of amazing all at the same time. To the point of making us want to somehow get our pets on skateboards. 

Most importantly though, these genius pics are so out there that they are the absolute perfect distraction for when you need something to not think about too much. This, and also a collection of dogs who behave suspiciously like cats hmm...

We're always in need of a pick-me-up and our go-to is animals. 

Animals bring a monumental amount of positivity to our lives, it's simply immeasurable. They provide us with comfort, with laughter, with so much happiness. We try to capture a small portion of that magic and deliver it to you. Sure, it's not the exact same as having animals in your life, but it does a good job of reminding us that there's still positivity in this world.

You gotta love the snap. 

The beauty of a cat snap is the caption and image all in one. It's a beautiful find and it's one we much water occasionally, and harvest weekly. It's hard work but someone's got to do it! 

And with Autumn just around the corner, the harvest will be more bountiful than ever! Just you wait and see. Enjoy your fresh weekly snaps!

Be still our hearts! This sweet-faced kitten is so gosh darn adorable, we're melting right where we stand. 

Meet Penelope Fern, a kitten born was a cleft lip who was found outside all alone. She was brought into Meow Village, an all-volunteer feral cat rescue organization located in Aurora, Oregon.

Meow Village told Love Meow, "A TNR (trap-neuter-return) rescuer spotted her while out trapping cats for spay and neuter. It was obvious that the kitten would need extra assessment. A few calls were made and she was in the arms of a Meow Village volunteer within hours."

After a nice, warm bath to get rid of the fleas, the sweet kitten was feeling better and soon dozed off into a peaceful sleep with a belly full of food. 

Selina, a volunteer at Meow Village told Love Meow, "This kitten has a loving sweet spirit. She eats and drinks just great, and it took no time for her to learn the litter box."

Next the kitten was taken to see a specialist about her condition and she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus (water on the brain), blindness, and ataxia (a neurological condition). It is likely more of her symptoms will appear as she ages and she will need special care because of it. However, Penelope is just as happy as any other cat and shows zero signs of suffering. 

Desirae, a staff member at the veterinary hospital, saw Penelope and fell madly in love with her.

We share a lot of animal-related memes. A lot. 

What we don't often feature are fish memes! Why you might ask? Fish are animals, too. Truthfully, there aren't too many of them floating around but every so often, we manage to dive deep and scrap up some ocean dwellers! 

This is a small, yet humble, shoal of fish memes, with a few crustacean memes to spice it up a bit. Besides, who doesn't love shellfish? 

Enjoy this scaly gathering of memes! 

Every week, we bring you a new collection of animal pictures that are simply too incredible to describe in anything less than 1000 words. Some pictures are just like that, the stories behind them are too vast and complex. And many times, even though we may not know the story, it takes all but one glimpse to know that it's there. Something must have led to this special moment in time being caught, either something hilarious, adorable, or shocking. 

So, look at these incredible photos and let your imagination take over. Who knows? Maybe you'll see one that will inspire you and have you wanting to make something incredible of your own.

Cats are a little bit of everything. They are hilarious in unexpected ways, they are adorable always, and somehow, they manage to take up so much space in our hearts, without even trying. 

They are truly special animals and anyone with a cat will tell you so. We are truly fortunate to have them in our lives, even if they aren't there for all of it. 

This week's cat medley features the main cute cat categories; cute and funny. Yet, there's a sprinkle of life (glow ups, transformations, and fighters) and sadly but inevitably, death. It's important to us that we acknowledge a cat's life through and through. As heartbreaking as it may be, we honor the cats that have left our lives by remembering them. They may be gone but never forgotten. To those who have recently lost a pet, our hearts are with you. 

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 Princess Aurora!

Introducing the world's most royal cat... Princess Aurora! Chances are you've already heard or have seen Aurora, that's how well-known she is. With an Instagram following of nearly half a million, this princess anything but ordinary. 

She may be called "Princess" Aurora but to us, she's the Queen of Fluff. Seriously, this little beauty so so darn fluffy, you just wanna press your face into that floof all day long. Oh, and she's got beautiful blue eyes that'll have you melt and instantly offer her a Fancy Feast. 

This is Aurora's world, we just live in it. 

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Dunder Kitten! 

Oh, that Jenny Jinya. She never fails at ripping our hearts out. 

The talented artist who has a gift at tugging on people's heartstrings has returned with another heartbreaking comic. If you aren't familiar with Jinya's work, they all feature neglect to animals. It's sometimes hard to digest but there is a powerful meaning and message behind every story she tells. 

Stories of dogs, cats, birds, elephants, you name it, Jenny Jinya will tell it and leave you punched right in the feels.  This time, it's about a neglected parakeet who couldn't live up to its owners expectations and was a nuisance. Just a friendly heads up, you'll want some tissues in arm's reach. 

Follow Jenny Jinya on Twitter to keep up with the latest comics! 

Why does it still feel like Monday? We need to change that ASAP... with a dose of reality. Just kidding, we want to delight you with more animal goodness so we can forget about the outside world for a moment. 

Also, we can't get enough of fresh animal memes and tweets! 

Get ready for a high-quality dose of some exceptional new animal memes and tweets, all curated right here, just for you. Let's keep it a light and fun today, folks! Just a gathering of delightful images with some funny captions -- the essence of a quality meme. 

Where would the good days feel like, if there weren't any bad days that made us appreciate them? 

Sure, bad days suck for everyone. However, we need a little bit of drama in our lives to make life interesting, to have something to laugh about later. It may seem bad now, but it'll be a great story to tell in the future. 

And a little reminder to those who are having a bad day, week, or year -- things will get better. 

Just because they can't see, doesn't mean they don't deserve the same love and attention as other pets. 

Blind pets may not see, but they can sure feel. And what they feel is overwhelming love. So much love that we can't help but feel it over on our end, too. 

We gave a shout out in the past to one-eyed cats, senior cats, and now we wish to do the same to those who have lost their eyesight. We're so happy to see these beauties thrive in an environment where they are loved. This is a specific shout out to all those beautiful blind (or semi-blind) pets. You are beautiful. 

We've all got that one friend, or know a friend, that messes up each squad photo.

The images below of an adorable squad of Shiba Inus, all provided by Yoko on Instagram, feature 4 pups in harmony. Err.. almost. Three of the Shiba Inus seem to be in sync with each other and how to look in each photo. The white Shiba Inu doesn't seem to get any of the memos, and never really syncs up with the squad. Thus, resulting in "ruining" each group photo.

And the air-quotes around "ruining" are totally necessary because honestly, we believe the white Shiba Inu is MAKING each photo. This adorable white Shiba Inu is the star in each photo and had us continuously smiling from ear to ear. 

And we bet you anything, you'll be feeling the same. 

Week by week, we bring you the best that animal twitter has to offer - the most popular animal tweets. This week's lineup is starring: showering otters, muscular tigers, and bats with pacifiers. We know that the best way to start off any week is to dive into the mindhive of twitter and be truly amazed by the things that twitter users enjoy. Some will have you smiling, others awwing, some will have you snorting, some will remind you that Halloween is nearing, and others will make your hear flutter with gratitude. 

So, enjoy this week's animal tweets, give your pet a treat if you have one and make sure to wish for them to have a good week too. And our wish this week to you is to meet a cute dog this week and have it lick your hand.

Do you feel that? It the start of a new week, which always makes us feel so... bleh. But it's also a chance to start your week off in the right way -- and that means wholesome memes. 

Each Monday, we bring you fresh, feel-good goodies. All for the sole purpose of bringing you comfort and giving you that good energy you need to get you through today, and this week. 

We hope you all have a fantastic upcoming week!
