Thank you for sharing these pawfect kitty cats with the world, and we hope that you continue sharing more and more of them as they continue to grow. 

Step by step, we have made it to the middle of the week, and we have been killing it all week long. At least by our standards. We've been working hard, putting in all the energy and inspiration we had into the things we've been working on. But alas, now that we have made it here, we find ourselves in need of some more motivation - something to inspire us to keep being awesome all week long. Well, you're in luck everyone, because it's time for this week's animal pictures worth 1000 words!

It's a collection of animal awesomeness that we bring you every single week, full of pictures that are guaranteed to inspire you. From funny animal pictures to wholesome animal pictures as well as the kind of pictures that will remind you just how awesome the animal kingdom is. Having an amazing rest of the week, everyone!

Now that we are finally getting into the swing of the week, doing our vest, trying to be productive and get things done, we're really starting to feel the stress of it all coming on. Of course, that's why you're here, getting ready to receive your guaranteed dose of positivity and love and wholesomeness in the form of the most 'aww'-inducing animal posts on the internet. 

Welcome to this week's dose of cute, animal lovers, where you get the extra bit of positivity that you need to get through the week successfully. We hope you have a pawnderful week and that this collection of wholesomeness puts a smile on your face. Of course, if you need some more animal cuteness, you can check out this week's collection of wholesome animal memes. 

We love cats, we feel like it's important to announce that at the beginning of this list. We know, we know, cats can be a whole lot to deal with - from unexpected bursts of energy at 3am, to making sure that your fresh laundry is covered in cat hairs instantly to trying to steal your food (and succeeding sometimes). 

But at the end of the day, these little felines bring so much joy into our lives. And you know what, as cat people with no sense of self-preservation and a desire to adopt every cat out there, we have come to the conclusion that two cats are better than one. For proof, you don't need to go any further than these picture. Double the trouble = double the love. Duh. 

Okay, be honest with yourself, in the past, you have bought or at the very least considered buying some ridiculous cat knick knack that you definitely did not need. It would be anything from a silly cat sign to some cat mug. None of it is crucial stuff for cat care, not like cool toys for your cat or healthy cat food alternatives, it's only funny and completely unnecessary stuff that makes you smile whenever you see it. 

And you know what, we've had a pretty rough week, so we've decided that it's time for some self-indulgent purchases for smiles and nothing but smiles. It's worth the money. Or at least we, the editors who've chosen all of these ridiculous knick knacks think so.

We've made it to the middle of the week, thank goodness, only half a week left. Still, even though there's not that much to go, we're already feeling tired. We've given our best in the beginning of the week, using up all of our inspiration, and now, we're in need of some more. No problem. You've come to the right place. What you're about to see are this week's animal pictures that are each worth 1000 words.

These pictures show off the most amazing parts of nature. You'll see pictures of animals showing love to other animals, pictures of the most unique animals, and even some pictures of animal hilarity and madness. There's something in here that will inspire you without a doubt, so take a look and get energized!

Monday morning has come, and that can only mean one thing - it's time for this week's animal twitter recap!

Every week, we scour through the depths of twitter to find you the best of the best. We look for the funniest animal tweets, the most wholesome animal tweets, the silliest, most ridiculous, and the most viral tweets that we can find, because we know that as animal lovers, you guys want to keep up with the twitter animal shenanigans, but you simply don't have the time. 

That's where we come in, of course. So, please enjoy this collection of animal twitter goodness, and don't forget to come back next week for more!

Time for an extra dose of dog. Because dog lovers like us always feel the need for some extra doggones. Whether it's in the form of some funny dog memes, wholesome pictures of dogs wrapped up in blankets or posts that are full of nothing but doggo madness - otherwise known as pawndemonium. 

Dogs just make us happy in every way passible. And this time, we're getting our doggo fix through some of the funniest and most wholesome dog tweets we came across this week. They're make you smile, they'll make you laugh, and hopefully, they will make your day a whole lot more pawfect than before. Enjoy!

Crocodiles are terrifying, right? Whenever you're watching movies and a crocodile comes into the frame, you know things are about to go down. God forbid you see one of them in real life - running is probably the best option if you do. Floating there in the water, not moving an inch, looking all... menacing. We've all seen these incredibly cool animals on land, but have you ever considered what they look like underwater? 

Answer: the look absolutely hilarious. And twitter has just discovered that information too, making this totally random thing about a totally random animal go viral, causing us all to laugh at something that is nothing but pure. Of course, if you want to see crocodiles being adorable, you need to look no further than baby crocodiles making cute noises that sound like laser guns.  

Even despite the fact that we look at animals all day long, nature still manages to surprise us every once in a while with something amazing . Because nature is amazing and so are animals. And this specific animal - the earless monitor lizard, otherwise known as Lanthanotus borneensis - has managed to take us by surprise, because these little guys look like tiny real life dragons. 

Lizards keep surprising us with how cool they are now that we're thinking about, and so do other super underappreciated animals. And if you know anything about us, you know that we enjoy nothing more than giving love to animals who do not get enough of it. So, enjoy this little underappreciated creature - in all its tiny but fierce glory. 

It's the middle of the week again, and we are getting tired. One step at a time, we're making it though, but to be as productive as we wish to be, we really feel like we need a little boost - some inspiration, something to make our imagination go off again. You know what we're getting at, right? It's time for for this week's collection of animal pictures that are worth more than 1000 words. 

This collection is full of amazing pictures - funny ones, weird ones, wholesome ones, and ones that just make you appreciate nature all over again. There's something in here for each of you, some picture that will inspire you reinvigorate you just how you hope it will. 

Have a great rest of the week, you guys! 

We're finally going back to work, and honestly, we're not sure what to do with our cats. It's not just us who've gotten used to spending so much time with our cats, but our cats have gotten used to spending a lot of time at home with us. Personally, I can see how much me going to work is bothering my cat now just by her behavior. 

So, we found ourselves thinking about what we can do about it, and we figured out that the best thing is to find a whole bunch of interactive and automatic awesome cat toysfor us to use. It may not keep them occupied and you calm forever lol, but it's definitely a good place to start. 

We hope you love the toys that we chose just as much as our cats seem to be loving them. They're all handpicked by us, the editors. And just so you know, 'I Can Has Cheezburger' earns an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases from the products we link to.
