If you haven't been following the munchkin sibling volleyball-stars on Instagram then what have you been doing? Munchkin cat siblings, Chataro, a 7-year-old male, and Kinako, a 6-year-old female, are both masters of playing invisible volleyball. 

Their movements and expressions are so animated that in these action shots they actually look as if they're about to set, pass, and even spike the invisible volleyball! 

In the past, cats have mastered the art of disguised as food or mastering the art of camouflage, but we have never seen cats purrfect a sport, such as this. 

Good morning, lovely readers! Boy, are you guys in for a lucky treat! We don't know about you but this past week's animal memes have been on fire! So many wonderful fresh memes out there, it's got us excited to share them all with you! 

Week by week, we gather up the top, and freshest, animal memes and bring them here to serve you on a silver platter. And this week's silver platter might as well be a gold one, that's how confident we are in serving you this meal. 

So, tie on that bib nice and tight and dig in! 

So wholesome it hurts

Wholesome stories do the heart good. It's important to see the good in the world since we're constantly surrounded by the opposite. The news these days don't really provide us with any sort of hope and uplifting stories. Luckily, animals will always have wholesome stories and we're here to share these stories with you. 

From wholesome stories to wholesome tweets and memes, we've got the loveliest little gallery to bring you some feels. 

There are features of cats we often like to shine on a spotlight on; toe beans, ear tuffs, teefies, more toe beans, loaves, and again, toe beans. What we have yet to shine a spotlight on is their glorious whiskers! And nowadays, there seems to be a subreddit for literally everything because we stumbled into one called r/whiskerfireworks. 

A subreddit filled with giant, long whiskers and we're in love. They definitely look like a firework explosion in the sky and we're completely enchanted! If you have a cat with some glorious whisker fireworks, share a pic in the comments below! 

When it comes to Halloween, we absolutely love to feature the Halloweeniest cat there is - the black cat! And to break the superstition that black cats are unlucky. Because, frankly, how can something so sweet and adorable be unlucky? Statistically, black cats are the least likely to be adopted and we need to fix that. 

Black cats are magic. For those of you who own a mini-house panther, you already know. We're here to spread that magic! Each week, during October, we will be featuring a segment solely on black cats! Be sure not to blink, or you might miss it! 

Do you feel that electricity in the air? It's dangerous and exciting and it means Caturday is finally here! With the hottest and newest cat memes of the week, we are proud to present you another delicious round of the purrfect Caturday! 

How will you be spending your Caturday? For us, it's a bit of a tradition to first digest these memes, then reminisce about last Caturday extravaganza. From there, we often like to indulge in a 20-hour catnap, followed by pure madness come 3 am.   

The purrfect recipe to ensure you have the purrfect Caturday, You're welcome. 

It's Friday and we're in a good mood after lolcats and seeing all these lovely adopted faces from this week! 

Last week's adopted faces was a doozy, there were so many beautiful adoptions! This week isn't as large but just as powerful! We would like to thank all those who have recently adopted, adopted in the past, or will adopt in the future. To all you adopters out there -- you guys rock. And of course, a huge mega shout-out those incredible individuals who adopt a senior pet or an animal in need of extra attention and care. We'd be lost without people like you. Truly. 

Now, let's get to the good stuff! Get ready for a goofy grin to be plastered on your face! 

Huzzah! We've officially made it to Friday once more and as always, we need to celebrate the occasion appropriately - with I Can Has Cheezburger user's original memes! 

For those of you unfamiliar with our Friday tradition, it's called Lolcats and it's the world's largest gallery of original cat memes! Each week, we gather up the most upvoted 25 memes and feature them here for all to see. If you want to join in on the fun, check out our meme builder and meme away! 

Enjoy the adorableness and funnies, and have a wonderful Friday! 

We often share images of squirrels but this time we decided to dedicate some love to their adorable look-a-likes -- chipmunks! Sure, chipmunks don't have that bushy tail we're all in love with, but they're so stinkin' cute, and small, we love them just as much! 

Chipmunks are smaller than squirrels and they come with some distinct stripes. Both chipmunks and squirrels are part of the same family of rodents but they actually have so little in common with one another than they never really are seen together. 

Chipmunks can fit into the palm of our hands and these following images of that will melt anyone's heart... no matter how cold and frozen it may be. 

Cat snaps! Come get your cat snaps while they're still hot! 

Cat snaps have wiggled it's furry behind into our lives and we're not letting it go anytime soon. It is what the people want and the people will have what they want! Last week's cat snap harvest was a celebration of the beginning of Autumn, and now we're starting to witness some spooky/Halloweenie snaps slipping through... and we could not be more excited! 

The only thing better than cat snaps is a Halloween version of cat snaps! 

The daily life of cats. Sometimes, there are a lot of crazy shenanigans that are simply hilarious. Other times, it can be difficult. It can be difficult to watch your cat grow and then one day, no longer have a cat.

But at all times, it is magical. Cats simply give us so much love and happiness inside. It's hard to sum up into words how much our furry friends mean to us but fellow pet owners will understand. They are special and bring endless joy to our lives, and even afterwards, we can't help but appreciate them for being a part of our lives. 

This medley has a little blend of all that cat magic we all love, some funnies, some sadness, some birthdays and all cuteness, all the time. 

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 Charlie, the heart-eyed Dalmation! 

Charlie's Instagram follows him and his liver Dalmation brother Cash's adventures. Charlie is a long coat Dalmation with some very unique 'spots,' in fact we wouldn't say spots at all! Charlie just so happens to have two heart-shaped 'spots'  right on both of his eyes, giving him a heart-eyed appearance that sent him into Instagram stardom! 

I mean, who wouldn't fall in love with such love looking back at you? We're goo goo eyes about Charlie! 

Charlie's owners have created a Charlie shirt with all funds being directed to ChildFund International, in hopes of stopping child trafficking. Check out the adorable shirt for a great cause here!
