aww

Happy Friday, fellow animal lovers! We know you've been waiting for this moment, just as much as we do each and every week! But the waiting is officially over and your original weekly segment has arrived once more -- the newly adopted faces of the week! 

Once a week, we search through the web to bring you all the newly adopted faces, and each and every week it's filled with feels! The sight of all these adopted animals just fills our hearts with so much joy.

We would like to take a minute and express our gratitude to all those who have recently adopted, to all those who have adopted in the past, and to those who will be adopting in the future. And, as always, a mega-heartfelt thank you to all those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra love and care. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. Rescue animals know they're being rescued and they are beyond grateful and show that gratefulness with so much affection. 

Happy Friday, loyal cat lovers! And it's a happy Friday indeed because Fridays are when we share the original 'I Can Has Cheezburger' weekly segment you all have been waiting for... Lolcats!

Lolcats is the world's largest cat gallery! We have incredible users who are constantly creating wholesome and hilarious cat memes and it's because of them that we can carry the title of 'largest cat gallery!' So a huge shout-out to our talented users! If you want to join the fun, head over to our meme builder and meme away! Who knows, it could be your meme featured here below!

And while we're on the top of original cat memes, did you know that ' Can Has Cheezburger has a new Instagram account where we feature daily original memes, comics, graphics, videos, and more? Be sure to check it out!

We're in the big leagues now! We've gathered up some of the greatest cat gifs of ALL TIME. They're all waiting for you right below! But first, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is cat gifs. They are truly a gift to us all. Whenever we're feeling down or just in need of a pick-me-up, we turn to cat photos. And they provide us with a lot of joy. The only thing slightest better than looking at photos of cats is watching gifs of cats. A photo will always look wonderful but gifs can really show a cat's personality, and we think that, sometimes, that's what we really need. 

Let's enjoy this big bowl of happiness together! Dig in, fellow cat lovers! 

Giving a name to your pet is something sacred. It is like naming a child. It's the name you'll be using when you ask them "who's an adorable little baby?", it's the name you'll be yelling when they inevitably do something that they know they're not supposed to do. The name must be chosen with care and with the future in mind... 

Oh, we're kidding, the best pet names are the silliest ones. There is nothing funnier than walking your dog outside and yelling "Beef Stroganoff, don't eat that!" It's perfect. And apparently, our lovely Facebook users have given some of the silliest (strangely food-related) names to their pets, and we just had to share our favorite ones with you.

Happy morning to all! We're happy because how can you not be when it comes to dogs? Do you know when people call other people a ray of sunshine? Yeah, no, DOGS are those rays of sunshine and they shine brighter than anyone or anything. They are so pure that their ray of sunshine is practically blinding, but it's worth it. 

Once a week, we search for the newest and best doggo memes to bring you a premium experience! Dogs can make us smile with a single glance and we're hoping these memes will provide you with some smiles, as well. Thank you to all the dogs out there who make the world a better place, please never ever stop being just the way you are.

Get ready to dig into this scrumptious dog treat we worked so hard on! 

Cats are weird. They're total oddballs and we can't help but love them for it. Sure, sometimes it's super annoying and inconvenient, like when they decide to wake you up at the crack of dawn for literally no reason. Probably because they're bored. Or how they chew up your new plants. Or how they will use the litter box but for some reason, a single poop nugget is found outside the litter box. Why? We have no idea. 

Cats do what they want to do and sometimes they can be sweet and other times... just the weirdest heckin' creatures. Yet, we wouldn't have it any other way. We guess that saying is true; Cats: can't live with them... can't live without them. 

Cheers to all the cats out there and all their owners who put up with their constant sh*t! 

In this slightly old but most definitely gold Twitter Thread, we are being yelled at by Twitter user, @youthfvlly, for interrupting their kitten's focus willing studying. Quite honestly, we couldn't help ourselves and we definitely deserved to be scolded. And while we want this little kitten to have the best education out there, we really can't say we wouldn't do it again. 

But before you judge us, you just need to scroll down and look at this calico kitten studying hard on a big desk. It's too precious and even talking about doesn't do the images justice. We have a feeling you're about to be scolding too. And probably us too. 

Worth it.  

Let's talk about turtles for a moment. Turtles are one of the oldest living animals on Earth, these beauties date all the way back to the time of the dinosaurs over 200 million years ago! Turtles also have an incredibly long lifespan, according to National Geographic, the oldest turtle ever recorded was named Tu"i Malila and that turtle passed away at the very impressive age of 188! 

Dear turtles, what is your secret for living so long? Sincerely, everyone in the world. It's no secret that turtles are amazing creatures. And it's important to know that these beautiful animals, regardless of how long they CAN live, are also on the endangered list. There are approximately 129 of 300 species of turtle and tortoise on Earth currently. Of those numbers, they are either vulnerable, endangered, or even critically endangered. Why? Loss of habitat, poaching, and illegal pet trade. And while these are the main reasons listed by the IUCN, we're sure all that plastic waste in our oceans isn't helping them out either. 

Let's take care of these incredible old reptiles. And let's begin by celebrating their awesomeness with a meme's list purely dedicated to them! 

Hey again, animal lovers! You have managed to get though half of the week, and that means you only have one more half left. You're tired, we know, you want a nap so bad. You're hoping that maybe sleep - maybe dreams - will give you the energy and inspiration that you need to get through that second half of the week. Don't fret though, because we have something even better than that!

Every week, we collect for you some of the most amazing animal pictures that we can find - the kind of pictures that could never be covered in any less than 1000 words. They are funny, beautiful, cute, showing just how amazing nature is. And we're hoping that they will give you that boost of inspiration that you're looking for to get through the rest of the week calmly, productively, and with a whole lot of fun!

We're in a cat state of mind! When you think of cats, what comes to your mind? Their cuteness, right? How about how weird and wacky they can be? Or how they can bring joy into one's life, or joy from one single unexpected action. For example, say you have a cat who never seems to want anything to do with you or a cat who is often skittish and hides most of their day. Then, suddenly, it's just a random day but they have decided to come to greet you, or perhaps they've even gone so far as to even sit on or near you! Such a small and simple gesture really shows us their love. 

Cats bring us so much comfort and happiness, we're just here to return to favor! A little cat appreciation for all things cats. 

"Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, it's off to work we go!" What is that work, you might be asking? Well, dear reader, that work is us preparing some classic and hearty memes for all of you to enjoy. Tuesdays are probably the blandest days. Nothing too exciting happens on Tuesdays (unless you have the day off, of course. If you don't have the day off and do have to work, the only thing we can think of that's even worse than Tuesday is Monday.

So what do we do now? We'll tell you what we're going to do! We're going to laugh as much as we can, today, thanks to all these wonderful memes listed below. 

Attention seeking... we've all been there. But do you know who is constantly there and constantly milking it? Pets. Pets have totally perfected the art of seeking attention, and they do it flawlessly. How does it work so well? Well, we think their adorableness comes into play here quite strongly. You cannot resist a cute face when it's asking you for some love. That's way too difficult for any living being. 

Next, most attention-seeking pets often get in your way when you're trying to focus or just taking a moment that doesn't involve petting your pet (we know, we know, anyone like that is obviously a monster). In the end, they will triumph, because when it comes down to it... we are weak. At least when it comes to our beloved pets. 

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  -- Winnie, the showering kitty! 

Meet Winnie, an adorable and quite unusual kitty who was adopted from a shelter in London, Ontario! What's unique about Winnie, you might ask? Well, she loves to shower. She also loves to chow down on veggies, walk on a treadmill, AND actually enjoys being vacuumed! All these common things we believe all cats hate but here's Winnie defying them all! 

Be sure to follow Winnie on Instagram for more shower time adventures!
