cute

Here, on ICanHasCheezburger, we celebrate stories of animals being rescued all the time. From rescues of stray underweight cats from the street, to a rescued bobcat who was dropped on its head by an eagle as a baby, all the way to a rescue of a sick 'ugly' fish who was abused by its previous owners. 

Each of these animals has a story, something special that caught our eye and we wanted to share with you. But, if there's one type of animal that everyone, including us sometimes, seems to forget, it's the cats without the insane stories. It's cats like ours, that were found on the streets and rescued or adopted from shelters. These cats have stories too, and we're about to give them the love that they deserve. Because every animal deserves a forever home, and every animal that has a forever home deserves to be celebrated. 

Oh my goodness, how is it possible that it is only the middle of the week? We feel like we have been working for about 17 days in a row now, giving it our all, being as productive as we could have been, using up every bit of inspiration that we had. Now, we're in need of some more. Well, you know what's coming now, right? It's time for this week's collection of animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

This is your weekly dose of inspiration, where we collect for you the best animal pictures of the week. From hilarious animal pictures to pictures showing off just how awesome animals can be. Looking through these, you will find yourself inspired, reinvigorated, stories and scenarios filing up your head, and ready to keep killing it this week. Get ready and enjoy!

It's cat tiiiiiime! Aha, get ready, everyone, because it's time for our weekly gathering of cat appreciation where we give love to the best animal ever. Yes, we said it. Because it's true. And if you don't think that it is, well, this place may not be for you. Here, we appreciate not just the moments in which cats give love to their humans but also the moments in which cats are the biggest jerks in the world. Because they're equally important to the purrfection that is Cat.

Every single week, we gather right here, professing our love and loyalty, and nourishing ourselves on all the best cat vibes. So, please, everyone, take a look and fall in love all over again with your feline overlords. 

Get ready, y'all, for the cutest collection of animals you will see all week long! Cute pictures of animals, wholesome stories of animals being their pawfect selves, enjoying life, and awwdorably funny stories that make you laugh and give you butterflies all at once - this collection has got it all! Why? Because we always need a little extra positivity and cuteness in our lives, and the animals are where we find it. 

Every single week, we bring you this extra collection of cuteness and good vibes, because although the week has only just started, we already feel the need for some extra goodness to push us through. So, we hope you have the most wonderful week, guys, and that this collection will put a smile on allll of your faces!

Time and time again, we will hear the the same thing: "Cats don't really love you! Cats can't actually show you any affection!" We hear it, and though it makes us sad that cats are so heckin' misunderstood, we ignore these comments, because we know that cats can be incredibly affectionate towards their humans. It just takes some cats a little time to warm up to their humans, that's why cats may seem aloof at first. 

But when cats love, they love hard, and they love for a long time. How else would you explain these heartwarming stories of cats showing affection that twitter shared with us? There are only so many explanations and excuses you can give before you finally land on the truth - cats are the furthest thing from being unaffectionate when it comes to their chosen humans. 

Some animals are born a little different than others - like Memphis, the cat born with two noses who's twice as beautiful or Zeus, the blind owl whose eyes look like galaxies. Being different doesn't mean being worse, these animals prove that already. The newest imperfectly perfect animal that we've come across is Aslan - the rescued cat who was born with 4 ears and has finally found his forever home.

Yep. It's Monday again, and we don't know why the world suddenly decided to hurt us by making it come so fast. We swear, it was Friday like 3 hours ago! We haven't had enough time to do anything! We missed all of the funniest meme collections that came up over the weekend, and we didn't even have time to read all the newest and most wholesome adoption stories of the week. Oh well... guess we have to get up anyway now. 

Thank goodness we have this week's collection of heartwarming animal memes to truly make sure to start the week off pawfectly. Because there's no way to go wrong on Monday morning by reading through a collection of nothing but pure animal wholesomeness. 

So, listen. We love our siblings. Yes, we do. But, there are some moments in everyone's lives when we kinda wanna throw something at them. That's fine. It's part of siblinghood. And apparently, doggos feel the same way. Hey, don't judge. Sometimes, even animals ruin family photos on purpose, and it just annoys everyone. 

Doggos can feel pretty heckin' done with their siblings too - especially when it's a new sibling that has just joined the household. They're patient, yeah, and doggos are indeed the best boys and girls no matter what. It's just that it takes some time to get used to this wiggling and zooming ball of energy that doesn't calm down until it passes out. But hey, at least the pictures are funny.
