aww

There are pictures out there that you look at and simply find yourself speechless - too many words running through your imagination to describe them or not nearly enough words. 1000 words are definitely not enough, that's for sure. Those are the kind of pictures that we bring you today. They're the kind of pictures that get your imagination running and inspire you to be more creative. 

Every single week, we bring you a collection of pictures like that, and there's always something for everyone. Whether they're funny, weird, or just showcasing how beautiful nature can be, we hope that at least one of these pictures will inspire you and help you get through the rest of this week in a productive and chill manner. 

They most certainly are stealing all the hearts that gaze upon their insane smolness, and we, for one, are totally OK with having our hearts stolen and never having it returned. Why? You'll fully understand the moment you scroll down and look at those little faces with their little bodies... they're so little!

Almost makes us want to cry out of sheer amazement due to their itty bitty size. Ah, who are we kidding? Let those tears roll and don't be ashamed of it! 

Do you ever just feel... done with everything? Viscachas totally get you. They are cute, they are fluffy, they are soft, but my goodness, they are grumpiness encapsulated. Whoever knew that something so cute could look so done with life. 

They remind us of cats in that sense. Fluffy and cute but also really, really done with our human shenanigans. Still, viscachas take the win on this one, because at least cats are happy sometimes. Viscachas really are just... perpetually done. We understand them though. We get it. And considering not only how relatable they are, but also how painfully adorable they are, we would like to officially announce them as our spirit animals.

Whoever said that cats are not compassionate clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. Cats are incredibly compassionate, they just do it in a different way than what you are perhaps used to. 

Our amazing, animal-loving users on Facebook shared their stories about things that their cats do or ways in which they behave that are clearly loving and caring, and we thought it was only right to share these stories with you, so that you can see just how amazing cats are. These stories are insanely heartwarming but also somewhat silly at the same time. Because no matter how loving cats are, they are silly little furballs at heart. 

If you have your own heartwarming but stilly pet story to share, come talk to us on our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime.

What can really be said about kittens that has not been said before? Kittens (and photos of kittens) make our hearts squeal in joy and delight. They are simply way too cute for any of us to handle and we can't handle it, thus our overwhelming need to squeal and squeeze them. 

We seriously can't get enough of any cat, at any stage in their life. 

Right now, we can't get enough of this orange little fuzzball shared with the Imgur community by user FeistyPeachtron. The commentary below is provided by user FeistyPeachtron, as well.

Goooood morning, folks! We know how you're feeling, it's Tuesday which is essentially Monday 2.0. The weekend seems so far and we're tired from Monday so we're even more tired this morning. We're definitely there with you. 

Thankfully, you've come to the right place for a lovely pick-me-up. Once a week, we gather the cutest and most wholesome pics and videos we come across and share them all here with you. It's a weekly dose of cuteness and it is absolutely vital to everyone's diet. Looking at these photos and videos, you can't help but feel some happiness yourself and we hope that dose of happiness carries throughout the rest of the week, until it's time for another refill. 

At 9 months old, Bently's owners discovered that he was very sick. Now, you would want the story to continue with them doing everything they can to help him and save him, but these owners were not that. Having found out that the procedures the kitten needed would cost them 800$, these owners opted to leave the clinic with just the exam. Thankfully, imgur user forte10 came to the rescue, offering to take the kitten off their hands and take care of it as if it was their own. 

So, this story has a hapy ending after all. The kitten got the help that he needed and is now a happy guy who loves nothing more than chilling with his new family. 

We want to thank forte10 for helping this poor kitten and for sharing their story. We want nothing more than to hear more of those. If you have a pet story of your own to share, come tell us about it in our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime. 

A tale as old as time... The first act: dads insisting on not getting a pet. The second: dads complaining about the pet the family got and acting like they can barely tolerate it. Act three: finding your dad cuddling your new cat/dog on the couch... still acting like they can only barely tolerate them. 

Really, they should stop pretending, we all see through them. No one can withstand the power of the cute.

r/dadswhodidnotwantpets on Reddit is the ultimate proof of that, considering how many people share their stories on it. It's wholesomeness galore, heartwarming stories and nothing else, and as someone with a dad just like one of those, I love these stories more than anything.

When it comes to gorgeous animals, cats may hold the number one spot. Think about it, not only are all felines absolutely gorgeous, they are elegant and graceful (...most times). As a species, we are madly obsessed with them and literally cannot stop looking at them -- there's a reason why the most popular search on the web is all cat-related. They are truthfully quite perfect. Even cats who aren't "perfect" are also perfect. 

We believe if you were to look up the word "beautiful" in the dictionary, there should just be an image of a cat and nothing else. And not only do we happen to admire our favorite feline companions, but they obviously love themselves just as much as we love them. And why shouldn't they? Like we said -- they're perfect! 

In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we explore just how much our feline companions admire themselves above all others.

It's Mondaaaaay! The best day of the week, right, guys? No, not because you get to start a new work week or school week and be a productive human being. No, no. The reason Monday is the best day, of course, is because that means it's time for our weekly animal twitter treat segment, where we show you all the best, most talked about animals on twitter this week. 

There's something for everyone - funny, wholesome, adorable - twitter loves animals of all kinds. So yes, it may be a Monday, but at least you're gonna get to start it off in the best way possible. Enjoy, friends, and have an amazing, amazing week!

How is it Monday already? Didn't we just do this? Well, here we are again! And as always, we've got you covered for all your Monday blue needs! A lovely dose of hearty and wholesome animal memes all hot and ready to be served! 

One good thing about Mondays is that you can definitely start your week off in the right way by digesting some good feels! And hopefully, those good feels will carry out into the rest of the week. 

We wish you all a wonderful and wholesome upcoming week! 

Okay, so as animal lovers, we normally say that all animals are cute. Yes, even the weird-looking ones are cute in their own way. Of course, it's hard to convince people of that sometimes. But! There is one full-proof way that we know of to convince anyone that an animal is cute, and that is finding the baby version of that animal. 

Because there is nothing cuter in this world than baby animals. Any animal in its baby form is double the adorableness, and there is no one out there who can simply withstand such cuteness. And so, we thank apoohneicie for collecting all of these cute baby animals and and the internet for making this thread go viral. You have put smiles on our faces, and we hope to do the same for you guys!

Happy Sunday, everyone! We hope you're in the mood for some kitty goodness because we have quite the lovely little assortment of cat videos all ready for your viewing! 

Once a week, we endlessly scroll through Instagram's news feed to find the most viral cat videos currently circulating the platform. Once we come across them (there are a lot) we narrow it down into several factors. The cuteness scale, is the first factor, and probably the most useless one because all cat videos are really heckin' cute. The next factor is the level of humor and comedy, which is a fine balance. And lastly, the level of wholesomeness. Once we deem a video worthy enough, we share it here with all of you. 

We hope you enjoy these adorable kitty vids and have a wonderful rest of the day! 

Well friends, it is almost Monday again, and we are here to make sure that you start your week off right with your weekly tumblr animal treat. This week, it is all cats and nothing but funny. Because of course the most purrfect way to start a week is with cats - in all shapes and sizes - but especially when they have that unique little tumblr humor touch. 

So, enjoy these silly and pawdorable tumblr cat posts, purr your way into this next week, and may your week be filled with cats and love and purrductivity.
