cute

Nom nom nom... it's everyone's favorite time of the day-- time to eat! 

If there's a definite common interest between humans and animals, it would definitely be our interest in delicious noms. 

Let's chow down on some animal gifs enjoying their chow 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 the beautiful blind angels, Cassandra and Omero! 

Even though Cassy and Omer are both white and orange cats, they are actually not related. Cassy was born in 2017 and Omer in 2018.

You might be asking how do they manage around the house both being blind? In a Q&A on their Instagram page, Cassy and Omer's owner explained that they use their sense of smell to navigate and have no problems to adapting to the layout of the house (even if she moves furniture around!).

Pretty impressive! What's even more impressive is their overwhelming love they have for their human. Check out these sweet pics and vids! And follow the adorable duo on Instagram! 

We've been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that's exactly how we feel about cat pics, memes, tweets -- you name it. 

If you share your morning with some delightful and uplifting cat pics -- what could possibly go wrong? It's essentially taking in your daily nutrients in the form of happiness. 

So, eat up folks, and have a wonderful day! 

Once a week, your cuteness prescription will always be automatically refilled for your viewing pleasure!

Nothing -- and we mean nothing brings on those warm mushy feeling like a huge dose of animal cuteness! We scoured the internet to bring you the cutest animal pictures of the week! Bringing you cuteness every week - stay tuned for next week's dose! If you missed last week's dose, and you need a cuteness overload, check out last week's here.

Okay, maybe not all of these stuffed toys are animals but it doesn't really matter, what matters is how much these pets love their toys and just how adorable they are with these toys!

Sometimes, pets have a really special connection with a certain you -- their favorite toy. You know what I'm talking about! Whenever you pull it out you get those dilated eyes and the wiggle butt! 

Now, that's love. Here are pets with their mini pets (who they sometimes chew and destroy).

Or as Twitter user, @bitterbleue, calls it "a thread for cats sitting in that really specific way on their asses." 

The thread went viral with nearly 300k likes and that means a ton of comments and pictures of users' cats sitting in a "really specific way on their asses."

Thank you, @bitterbleue, for this wonderful gift you've bestowed on us. 

The purrfect way to end the purrfect day! 

We all hope you had a wonderful weekend, it's always hard to see them end. Hopefully, we can change that a bit with these uplifting and frankly, quite adorable cat gifs. 

We know it helps us whenever we're sad about the end of the weekend approaching so much more quickly than it arriving. 

At least, for the most part. 

Enjoy the overwhelming cuteness! 

Summertime, and the living is easy! That is, if you're a pet living in a home of loving pawrents! These pets don't have a care in the world, just sleep, eat and gobble up all the love (whenever they feel like, that is).

Ahh, to be carefree! These animals are living their best life -- doing what they want, when they want. 

It's the start of another really weird work week working from home! It's purrfectly healthy to take a mental health break and reward yourself with some of the funniest, cutest and plain bizarre cat videos on Instagram! 

Enjoy!

If you missed last week's top 5, you can find it here. There are few things in this world better than scrolling through cat hashtags on Instagram. 

But we can't think of any. Nor do we want to. 

Kyla King, from Portland, Oregon, woke up on Wednesday to check in on her pregnant cat to discover a litter of 6 newborn kittens.

She picked up each kitten, and when picking up the last kitten, she found herself face-to-face with two tiny noses and two pairs of eyes tightly shut.  

Kyla said she sent a picture to her husband, BJ King, with a text that read: "We have 6-1/3 kitty cats now!" BJ shared the news on their local community page, Albany Happenings.

"I said we'll probably get a little bit of reaction out of this and it took off really fast," BJ told Koin. Kyla reached out to their vet to learn more about their surprise kitten(s), and how to properly care for it. Unfortunately, there isn't much that could be done for the kite(s)n medically. All Kyla could do is make the kitten(s) comfortable and make sure the kitten(s) eats.

"It doesn't really know how to nurse properly because it has two mouths so I've been trying to feed it," Kyla said. 

The two-faced cat isn't the first of it's kind, it's actually known as a "Janus" cat. Named after the Roman god Janus often depicted with two faces in mythology. They suffer from a rare congenital defect called disprosopus, or cranial duplication. Most Janus cats don't live longer than a day but one defied the odds. His name was "Frank and Louie" and he passed away in 2014 at the age of 15. 

The kitten(s) appear to be doing well and taking it day-by-day. The King's do have a realistic outlook. 

"We're not super optimistic but it does seem pretty lively and has an appetite and seems to be doing pretty well," BJ said.

"It's smaller than the other kittens but it could be the runt, too, on top of having two faces," Kyla said.

They've named their kitten Biscuits and Gravy—"Biscuit" for short. There has been many requests to take in Biscuits and Gravy but the King's are planning on keeping the special kitten(s).

We wish Biscuits and Gravy and a long and happy life!

UPDATE

We are sad to report that Biscuits and Gravy did not make it. The kitten born last week has passed on Saturday night, Kyla King tells CBS affiliate KOIN-TV.

Biscuits and Gravy lived about four days. We are heartbroken over the news and wish the pair a peaceful rest. 

Black cat magic is back! Our last special feature on these gorgeous house panthers can be found here! 

Each month locked up feels like 6 months rolled up into one sad month. So we need to break through the sadness and celebrate with our own little black cat party extravaganza! 

So, we welcome all our black cat lovers to unite because we found the perfect Instagram page! 

@Blackcatsrrock features a variety of photos and videos -- all black cats, all day long! 

Thank you to the ICHC fans on Facebook for participating in our weekly challenge! The challenge was to share an image of your pet preventing you from your work at home. The results were amazing. 

We loved seeing all your furry co-workers hard at work! And by hard at work, we mean working hard at keeping you from working or just working overtime trying to get that beauty sleep they're so deprived of. 

But alas, we couldn't share them all here as much as we would love to. So if you would like to see more than the list provides, you can find the challenge here. 

These past few weeks months have been weird but luckily we can always rely on Caturday to deliver the smiles! 

Welcome, everyone! Another blessed Caturday is upon us and we all know what that means! Naps! Wait, no -- memes! 

Actually, why not both? Enjoy these purrfect Caturday memes and then treat yourself to a nice long catnap!
