aww

Welcome! You've made it through the another long work week! On the bright side, January is officially over and it's time you reward yourself with some of the the funniest, cutest and plain bizarre cat videos on Instagram! Enjoy! If you missed last week's top 5, you can find it here. There are few things in this world better than scrolling through cat hashtags on Instagram. 

But we can't think of any. Nor do we want to. 

They say pets have a sixth sense and it's hard not to believe so when looking at these pictures!

These pets absolute adore their pregnant hoomans and are intend on showing them that love. 

All we can say is our hearts are melting and becoming piles of goo stuck to the floor. 

Imagine that: You enter a local book shop, looking for a good book for the weekend. Upon entering the shop, you are greeted at the door by a handful of cuddly kittens who are free to roam the space, climb on bookshelves and take cat naps on the window sills. Oh, and then you find out that the kittens also happen to be available for adoption. Sounds like a dream, right? 

Well, this Canadian bookstore offers just that. 

Otis & Clementine's Books and Coffee is located in Nova Scotia, Canada, and offers more than just compelling reads and organic coffee.

The local store owner, Ellen Helmke, started fostering kittens at her shop in May 2019: "It's a perfect fit having the cats here. It just makes space feel cozier," Helmke told Insider. "Sometimes people come in just to see the cats and sometimes people don't even know that cats are here. It's very cute. The idea for me was to have a continual supply of kittens in my shop that were all adoptable," she said. "I make sure that they've had all their shots and socialize them with people who come in and out of the store. Being around customers helps the cats learn to socialize with people, which likely makes it easier for them to get adopted. We have a 100% adoption rate, which is fantastic,' she said.

Fans and visitors of the store have started sharing and uploading adorable photos of kittens climbing on bookshelves and curling up on the chairs and couches inside the shop. They are also praising Helmke on the shop's Facebook page for making her shop a safe haven for rescue cats. This is Fantastic!  

Cat gifs are a gif(t) to the world. 

Especially a collection of them! From silly cat antics to their most adorable moments -- we're so very thankful we live in a day and age where we can see videos of cats, at any moment we want/need! 

What a time to be alive! 

Enjoy this extra-wholesome cat gif boost! And with it, the purr-fect Caturday!

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop.

Happy Friday, everyone! January legit felt like four years all rolled into one month. Now, January's reign is a day away from being over and we have to celebrate the only way we know how -- with a black cat party extravaganza! 

So, we welcome all our black cat lovers to unite because we found the perfect Instagram page! 

@Blackcatsrrock features a variety of photos and videos -- all black cats, all day long! 

Who wouldn't love that?! Here are 25 of their latest black cat posts that we know you'd just love! 

Imgur user, babsginger, just shared the cutest encounter with a new guest in her building! It was Monday when a playful kitten had entered the building, after her significant other left the door open for a minute. 

Sharing videos and pics of the adorable encounter, babsginger claims this is how all Monday's should start... and we couldn't agree more. 

In fact, yhy stop there? This is exactly how all days of the week should start! 

So even though it's not Monday (yet), here's a little cuteness to jumpstart the day!

Sometimes, you don't need dialogue to convey an idea -- just an illustration. 

Artist @niwazaekisho has done just that with her adorable comics of a small penguin, with penguin problems. 

The comics are simply delightful and will put a smile on anyone's face! Get ready to love penguins even more than you already do!

You can follow the artist on Twitter or Instagram, for more penguin-related smiles! 

Seems like there's a subreddit for absolutely ANYTHING these days! And that includes anything cat-related!

Which is A-OK with us! Actually, it's more than OK. We can drown in those cat sub forever, happily so. 

The subreddit, r/straightenedfeetsies, is a place for photos of cats, dogs, and any other floofs with straightened feet/legs. 

How does the rating system work in this subreddit, one might ask. Well, it's simple: "one straightened feetsie in a photo is enough, but two is even better! Three is amazing. And four? Four is the royal flush of straightened feetsies! Bonus points for straightened feetsies sticking out from underneath blankets."

Do you have a straightened feetsies floof you'd like to share? Post it in the comments below! 

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 Monaka & Azuki, the hedgehogs!

Azuki and Monaka are father and daughter and are simply some of the cutest hedgehogs around -- and definitely on social media! 

Sadly, Azuki passed away on the 20th January, 2019. His daughter, Monaka, born on the 8th April 2018, is following in her father's footsteps.

The famous duo have a following of nearly half a million, on Instagram and the most adorable pictures of the pair playing, baking, reading and enjoying other mini-adventures.

If you're ever in a pickle, and you're lucky enough to have these good boys and girls around you -- you can guarantee that everything will be alright! 

Enough though things can go a bit sideways sometimes, you know they had the best intentions at heart! That's just another reason why animals are the purest of pure! 

What's cuter than a cat? That's easy -- two cats!

Thoughts of Dog, the ultra-wholesome Twitter page that features thoughts from a dog, tweeted an adorable fancy-pants tweet about doggos crossing their paws.
