We love purrfect cats just as much as you do, but less mainstream mongooses deserve the spotlight once in a while. Today we're all about the tiny mongooses known as meerkats! These cute critters are from southern Africa, and they always look super curious about the world no matter what they're up to. They just want to explore everything, and it's adorable. Scroll down for awesome meerkat snapshots. 

Let's move away from the domesticity of cats and dogs, and take a walk on the wild side with none other than some crazy fun monkeys. As cute as monkeys seem, they're actually really tough, adept, and equipped to handle the jungle. They are the perfect combo of cool and cute, and that's why we love them. Scroll down for the cutest collection of monkey pics. 

Goats are just the cutest thing! My personal favorite? The pygmy goat - duh! They're known for being super friendly and don't need to be constantly tended to by humans because they're so busy making friends with other goats. If you want to be companions with a goat, the pygmy is your guy. Reddit obvi has a pygmy goat subreddit, which is the best way to hang out with these critters virtually. Scroll down for the best of the thread this week. 

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.

I personally have a soft spot in my heart for ginger cats. Redheads are rare, and they should especially be celebrated in kitten form. These redhead babies are sure to make your heart fill with joy upon first sight. Scroll down for the cutest ginger kittens we've seen on the cat-sphere this week. 

Anywhere from "Babe, Pig in the City" to Charlotte's Web, pigs have held a special place in our hearts. Ariana Grande knew what she was talking about when she said she wanted a pet pig. I can't imagine that they're too clean but who cares when they just look so cute! Look at those little ears and those fuzzy bellies! Baby pigs are, of course, the pinnacle of adorableness!

Below y'all will find 12 pictures of the sweetest baby pigs on the internet right now. Some of them are smiling. Some have their tongues sticking out. Cheeky! Some have even made friends! Peruse and enjoy the scrumptious little darlings.

The bond between mother and child is unlike no other, and that goes for animals too. Here are 11 beautiful photos of animal mothers and their babies, which show us the strength and love it takes to raise a little one. For more cute animal photos, have a look at these adorable photos of baby elephants.

The bond between a parent and child is one of the most meaningful things most people will ever experience, and the same goes for animals. These photos show the love, trust and bond that animals and their offspring have. And it is beautiful to witness. If you're in the mood for some more lovely pictures of animals, have a look at these photos of adorable wild baby animals.

There is really nothing cuter than baby animals. Nothing. Not even human babies (sometimes they're kinda ugly tbh). If you're looking for a boost of serotonin to get you through those slow afternoon hours at work, feast your hungry eyes upon these pictures of baby animals from all over the world that aren't cats or dogs (because we see them all the time). And if you want some more cute content after perusing these pics, have a look at these dogs with frankly ridiculous haircuts. 

If you're feeling sluggish and need a quick boost of serotonin, you've come to the right place because nothing brings happiness like animals! And especially baby animals! 

This little dose of insane cuteness should do the trick for that little push and boost you've been searching for. How do we know that? Well, studies have shown that looking at photos of cute animals is good for your health. Looking at images of cute, fluffy animals can reduce stress, and "can have powerful effects on attention and concentration."

If someone asks you why you're looking at adorable animal pics you can actual tell them it's good for your health! 

They really just said copy and paste. And some said copy and paste.. paste... paste... paste... you get the point. And we know what you're going to say, "please spay your pets." And you're not wrong, if you have a pet and you know you won't be able to care for their offspring, you should spay your pet. If you do have the room capacity to house some mini-versions of your pet, we don't see the harm in that either. Besides, if every animal in the world was spayed -- we would never have any baby animals! And that thought is just the worst. 

Here are just images of very proud parents with their adorable mini-mes! We love a good family photo! And animals just do a far better job at taking them than we humans do. 

It's officially the second Monday of the week and we're already feeling burnt out. Thankfully, we have our handy-dandy cheatsheet for Tuesday. Wanna know what it is? You guessed it! It's a mega serotonin boost in the form of adorable animal pics and videos! And yes, it does help in cheering us up and giving us the energy we need to carry on. 

Animals just seem to have that magic. I don't know about you, but for us, if we're feeling down about things and just so happy to see a dog out of the corner of our eyes, we feel a burst of that happiness. And even more so, when an animal seems to know you're feeling down and unexpectedly come to comfort you. If that doesn't cheer you up, you may want to look into that because that feeling is pure magic. 

We try to re-create that comforting magic once a week here with new animal pics and vids every week. We hope you enjoy it! 

The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee has returned and has returned with more itty-bittiness than ever before! Nothing quite fills the soul with all those aww's and warm feelings like a patch of insanely small kittens! Seriously, how are they so small? Each time we think about it, our brains cannot comprehend just how tiny and just how adorable. 

IFor cat owners, it's crazy to think that at one point, your cat was once this small (even though it always short-lived) and they can grow into some hefty chonkers! But all kittens are born tiny and were just here to look at them and remember our babies were once so tiny.
