Babies

When animals are pregnant, they do what they need to do to keep their babies safe, even if it means asking for help from the scary huge humans. This cat momma is the purrfect example of that. Even though she was totally feral, she found herself in a situation where she needed help, and she was ready to take it, reluctantly trusting her human with her tiny kittens, because that's what loving animal mommas do. 

Amazingly, this totally feral cat slowly but surely fell in love with her new human and became a total cuddle monster. Now, she's a cuddler and loves attention, and her insanely adorable babies are in safe hands. It's a wholesome story all around of love and acceptance, and we hope you enjoy reading about it as much as we did. 

If there is one thing that we have observed over our time reading animal stories is that animal mommas will do absolutely anything to save their babies, and that includes going up to the scary human predators who can hurt them in the hopes that these humans will help them instead. And this cat momma is no different - pregnant, hungry, and alone, she came up to the porch of some random person and begged for help. 

Thankfully, the human she approached saved her and her babies.

Imagine coming back home and finding your place trashed - the fear of a break-in, an intruder overtaking you. And then... you hear a small rustle coming from your closet and the funniest most ridiculous trash panda comes out and precedes to judge you. What would you do? Make a twitter thread about it of course. 

Because twitter is a place for occasional animal madness, and this raccoon and her babies falling through the roof into this person's house is just one example. Other people on twitter rescue a brain damaged bobcat whose favorite toy is fennel and others run out of food and attempt to feed their stray cats sunny-side-up eggs, causing them endles confusion. 

BTW, the raccoons have been taken and are totally fine, so feel free to laugh as much as your desires with no guilt lol. 

No matter how much knowledge we have about nature, every once in a while, something will shock us and remind us how amazing nature actually is. Whether it's the incredible bonds between animals, whether it's coming across a list of beautiful animals with unusual color mutations, or whether it's something as simple yet as amazing as seeing the way pregnancies look like in nature. 

Even thought every birth of an endangered animal is something that we celebrate, the actual is something that we, for whatever reason, haven't thought about very often. But, this viral thread on imgurhas opened our eyes, and has made us have a whole new appreciation for the heartwarming relationships between animal mommas and their babies.

Babies and animals are some of the sweetest images on the planet because we get to witness true discovery. As babies learn the softness of fur and the sensitivity of tails, we get to feel their excitement alongside them! Sometimes the interactions aren't always super smooth.. but the experiences themselves are so enriched with love and curiosity that this is a topic that neverrrrrrrrrrrrr gets old.

Below you will find photos of tiny babies with giant dogs, newborn kittens with babies, babies with guinea pigs, and more! So many smiles and giggles, my heart can barely take it. The ultimate sweetness in such a post can give you a cavity.

Welcome to the world, new itty bitty kitties! You should know now, kittens, that your birth had some ups and downs, some worrying moments, some medical scares, but you got here, and you're in good hands - with one of the most adorable, derpiest, and cutest cat mommas in the whole world. 

The whole internet was enthralled by this birth, watching every step of it, rooting for the kitties and their mom, and finally - finally - KittensForDays's perma-blep momma gave birth. And yes, it was just as adorable as you imagine. So, thank you for sharing your story with the internet and making us smile, and we hope sharing it with more people will bring smiles to them as well. 

There's not a single more heartwarming thing that shows you how much your cat trusts you than when she brings you her babies. You get her, it's tiring to have and take care of babies. Momma cats need breaks just like any other mommas do. And while for them, it's a moment of reprieve, for you, it's a moment of the greatest honor, and you will make sure with everything that you have to not disappoint you baby while taking care of her babies. 

Our amazing ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared some of their stories of their baby momma cats trusting them with their baby kittens, making our hearts melt with joy, and yours will too. 

We love reading and showcasing your heartwarming and adorable animal stories any chance we get, so if you have a story of your own, come share it in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime!

Is there anything that makes you happier than when your pet shows you love, trust and affection? Personally, it's one of the things that makes me the happiest in the world. One of the best ways to see that love and affection, of course, is when your kitty comes to sleep in your bed at night. It's a show of trust not just from the cat but from you too, closing your eyes next to each other like that, and that only brings the two of you closer. 

Having your cat curl up next to you is one of the purest, most wholesome things in the world, but seeing your baby curled up with your cat might be even more cuter. Prepare yourself, the cat tweets you're about to see are so cute and heartwarming you might just get an inexplicable urge to immediately go hug your cat.

One of our favorite things in the animal kingdom is the obvious, heartwarming love between mothers and their tiny little babies. And the bigger they are, the more adorable we find them. There's a tendency to think of big cats as dangerous and heartless, but we know better than that, we know that they are just as loving as any cat once you earn their trust and love. 

Cheetahs are no different. They are known to be one of the most affectionate big cats when it comes to their relationships with humans. But when it comes to their babies, their little cheetos, their love and adoration is clear as day, and it's so adorable and wholesome, it makes our hearts flutter. 

We know that dogs are some of the nicest, gentlest creatures, but there's always some worry about the reaction the family pet will have to the new baby. It's hard, we're worried about both the baby and the dog - don't want the baby to be hurt or scared and don't want the doggo to be getting jealous of the new human in the house who will be getting endless attention. 

There's no reason to worry though, not with dogs, because dogs are absolutely amazing. More often than not, dogs become best friends with the tiny new humans, and we get to watch them grow up together and be each other's best friends. And it might be one of the most wholesome things we ever get to see, our gorgeous little gentle giant doggos growing up with our little tiny human babies. 

This is so adorable and we're amazed at how incredibly zen this cat is! If only all cats were this chill...

A Vietnamese grandpa-to-be whose video of demonstrating bathing a baby is going viral! A creative video, taken by Vinh Quang Phạm, and shared on Facebook, shows how to hold and position a baby for a bath while using what we're now believing to be the most relaxed cat of all time. The cat in the video is so at peace while being held like an infant and gently placed in an empty basin, it's almost as if the cat understands the role it's been given. The cat stays still and obedient for more than 2 minutes as it received free rubs. 

This video is so precious and helpful, we're sure his son will be a natural father, and if not, there's always grandpa who has purrfected his baby-bathing technique! You can see more videos of this adorable cat on TikTik!

We all know that there's something special about being held in your mother's arms. It's a unique kind of soft and warm. It makes us feel protected even now that we're older but especially when we were little babies. 

It's the same for animals. For them too, there is something special about being held and carried by mom, whether it's dogs or cats or swans. And since we all feel like we could use a hug right about now, and there's nothing better in the world than a big strong hug from mom, we've brought you some of the most wholesome and sweetest pictures we could find of mother's love in nature in the form of little tiny baby swans getting carried around and being sheltered by their mommas. 

There's always some concern when it comes to leaving your baby with a cat. It's a fair thing to worry about since we know, as cat owners, that no matter how much our cat loves us, accidents happen, and sometimes we get scratched. Despite that, you might have noticed that cats have a tendency to want to be around a baby - smell it, sleep snuggled up next to it, lick its head. It might be because a lot of times babies smell like milk. It might be because cats are just curious creatures and babies are new and interesting additions to their homes. 

There's no obvious explanation for the care cats show to babies, but one thing that we do know is that it is omg so adorable. To show you just how sweet cats and babies can be together, we have gathered 24 pictures of just that to warm your heart and make your stomach flutter throughout the day. 

If you're in the mood for some more animal baby adorableness, here are some pets showing love to their pregnant hoomans.
