Raise your hands if you like Monday…what, there's no one? 

Yeah, we're no fans of Mondays either. Monday is probably the most hated day of the week and no amount of cat memes (or kitten memes) can ever fix that, but it might make it bearable for a little while. 

While funny kitten memes and adorable pics of kittens with milk mustaches have taken the internet by storm, teacup kittens have gained popularity for being one of the cutest and most adorable animals that wins the heart of anyone they come across just by the way they look and their tiny size. They are small cats in form of dwarfs with miniature look. Here are some facts you probably didn't know about them.  

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! The spotlight this week goes to a tiny, but adventurous, kitten named Gracie! Gracie may be small, but her sense of adventure is huge!

If you'd like your pet to be featured, reach out to us with some insight as to who you are and the story of your beloved pet! 

What could be better than someone taking care of your beloved cat while you're away? Getting professional photos of your beloved cat! When Miranda McDonald asked her friend Josell Mariano to take care of her blue tabby cat Jade, he went above and beyond with an impromptu photo shoot of the beautiful Jade! 

According to Best Ten News, Mariano explained how he captured the magic below, "I used a 6Dmk2 with an f/2.8 24-70LII, and an f/1.4 50mm. Lighting is an Einstein strobe with a 24-inch beauty dish." But it also helps when your model is so darn photogenic! Mariano said, "Jade was a better model than I thought but was still super wiggly. She was distracted by treats and her favorite toy (which is a broken string on a stick)."

Sounds like the perfect cat sitter to us! These are almost as good as kitten memes, but nah, nothing beats those.

What a beautiful little family! When the mother gave birth to a litter of kittens, the dad was right there to help groom and comfort her! If there was ever a picture to make you squeal and go, "awwwww!" this is it. 

Mochi, the 'Kitty Frog' is about to become your new favorite account! Mochi and her brother Choco were adopted at 8-weeks-old when they found abandoned by their mama in a parking lot. Both cats, named after delicious Asian treats, are 3-years-old and currently residing in Portland, Oregan. 

We got an inclusive inside peek at the story behind 'Mochi vs. the Frogs,' and it began sweet and playful. Mochi's hooman told us, "When we went out of town, our friends who were catsitting got the kitties some toys from Ikea. One of those toys was the frog toy. Mochi first started playing fetch with it. She would bring it to our bed and then we would toss it down the stairs, and then she would bring it back to the bed. Then one time we put it on a ledge in the apartment thinking she would play fetch with it but instead, she knocked it over. Then she kept knocking it over wherever we placed it."

Eventually, the stuffed frogs were discontinued by Ikea, so Mochi's pawrents ordered 7 of them from eBay, just in case. Then, last year, Ikea brought them back in stock and they have gathered over 100 toy frogs! "We put about 50 of them in a big bin, and then Mochi started bringing trails of frogs to us every night. When she only had seven frogs, she would sometimes bring 3–4 to our bedroom, but now she sometimes brings up to 30 of them to our bed at night!"

Since then Mochi's hooman has hysterically captured all the moments between Mochi and the toy frogs that haunt her. Watch the shenanigans below! You can follow Mochi and all her toy frogs on Instagram!

Ryzhik (which translates to Ginger), unfortunately, lost all four of his paws back in January in a -40C storm in Tomsk, Russia. When he was found, all his paws had been so badly frostbitten and with gangrene developing at lightning speed, there was no choice but to amputate. 

Luckily, Ryzhik's new owner truly cares for this cat who has overcome such great odds. The owner took Ryzhik to a special clinic in Novosibirsk that specializes in artificial limbs.
