cute

Ah, yes, the five C's have gathered once more to bring you this delightful compilation of cute (and very silly) cats. Is there anything better in this world than that? Don't answer, it was rhetorical. 

Looking at adorable cats doing their strange adorable cat-like things is much more than we could ever as for. It simply brings us joy and we hope that watching the following gifs will bring you joy as well. As we always say, cat gifs are a gift and that is the gift that keeps on giving! And with Thanksgiving coming up, we just can't help the gratitude we feel when we come across such cuteness. 

If you're finding yourself in a less-than-cheerful mood after seeing these cats, perhaps you'd benefit from even more cuteness. 

Poetry about animals can truly be inspiring. And apparently a tiny little poem about a dog from the perspective of a cat, written by yours truly (hi)(just kidding, it's totally a cat who wrote that, not me) has made our Facebook users excited to show off their own cat and dog bffs, and we couldn't be happier!

A friendship for the ages between our favorite animals - kitties and doggos, and so many of them too! Whoever said cats and dogs don't get along definitely hasn't met any of these besties. Big and small, cuddling, protecting each other from storms, they're best friends, and we want to be their best friends too.

When Twitter user, @ok_girlfriend, who also happens to be a biologist, revealed that she just discovered that, "sea urchins naturally use shells as hats to make them feel safer and camouflaged so some aquarist had the genius idea to make them tiny hats." The aquarists 3D printed hats for these little sea creatures and it's indeed genius! We can't get enough of these little sea urchins donning tiny hats! 

Lately, we've been bunnies in hats, snakes in hats, and even hedgehogs in hats -- seems like we have another animal to add to the tiny hat-wearing collection! 

It's Tuesday. The second Monday, as we like to call it. Thankfully, this is the day we decided to refill the dose of cuteness prescription, ensuring you with some major aww's to get you through today, and hopefully, the rest of the week!

Once a week, we refill the cuteness prescription dose so it's overwhelmingly adorable. We do this when we sense the cuteness energy may be running low and need a good ol' boost. This week's gathering of the cutes has been quite successful. Your dose is now filled, please be cautious of the one major side-effect -- cuteness overload. 

Other than that -- enjoy!

Be sure to have your sound on to fully experience this awwdorably magical moment - a pup's awoo! What is an 'awoo' you might be asking, and good question! An 'awoo' is a replacement for the word howling, the 'awoo' is the sound of a howl and therefore has been more commonly used to describe a dog's howling instead of simply saying, "Check out those wolves howling!"

Awoo's are simply the cutest, and watching a pup really get into an awoo is too much cute for us simpletons to handle. The awoo's are all different and we're head over heels in love with them all. Truly, we have no favorite when it comes to a pup's awoo. Get ready to feel all that warmth fluff instead of you because this is guaranteed to bring up those serotonin levels! 

Let's be honest, all dogs are good dogs. But funny dogs are extra good dogs. Why? Because on top of being a good doggo, they are doing an extra job of making you laugh. Mind you, it's not an easy job for them to do, and really, their hard work has to be appreciated and admired on an additional level. 

So, when you pet them, it's important that you not only say "who's a good boy" but add "who's an extra good boy". Make sure that you know that even when they're being funny and maybe doing something ridiculous, and even if they get their head stuck in something or eat something they're not supposed to and are not having the best day, they are loved despite and for being the silliest doggos. 

Cats can be a little rough sometimes, let's be honest. When they bite us, playfighting, and leaving little tooth-mark holes in our skin, it's not the most comfortable feeling. But we love cats. And we love them when they're having their big-cat-energy moments just as much as when they're turning onto their backs and asking for belly rubs.

So, this one is for all the biggest cat fans out there who are not scared of a tiny little cat love bite. It is us who will give the love bite its full love and appreciation. And we shall wear the tooth-mark holes on our arms as marks of pride!

Week by week, twitter falls in love with another new animal. And another one. And one more. We can't blame them. Our love for animals is hard to compare to many other things - it's pure, it's fulfilling, and it's entirely unending. We want all animals to be happy, and we want to know all about them. 

Twitter is always a good place to go to to find all of your latest, most talked about animals. Whether wholesome, cute, or funny, twitter has it all. But since we know that it's practically impossible to keep up with twitter's insanely fast paced love for animals, we have taken it upon ourselves to bring you the absolute best that twitter has to offer, just as a tiny delicious treat for the start of your week.

We know how you're feeling, Monday is back and it's even harder now that it's getting colder and darker so soon. We can't really do anything about all that but we can bring you some cheerful and wholesome animal memes to ease the pain and the suffering! Memes are a wonderful source of laughter and we can literally look at them all day, but when you add wholesomeness to the mix AND animals, it's quite simply the most perfect meme that could ever exist. 

We hope this heart gallery of wholesome animal memes does what it does best, warm your heart and bring a smile to your lovely face. We understand if you need more wholesomeness to get you through the rest of the week. We could always use a boost! 

We wish you all a wonderful and wholesome upcoming week!

So, get yourself prepared for some good ol' doggo goodness with nothing but pure vibes and and even purer doggos. Because dogs are some of the most innocent kind-hearted animals, and tumblr knows it, so there are about an endless number of wholesome tumblr doggos. But these ones are some of our favorites. 

For more tumblr purity, we have some wholesome tumblr animals and specifically, some wholesome tumblr cats. 

Combine the magic of snow with the majesty of the tiger, and you get some of the most wholesome, chill pictures on the web. Because you know how chill these tigers must have been to sit there for so long and just let the snow cover them, turning themselves from stunning orange and black beauties to the most magical, majestic looking white tigers.

These pictures are the exact type of chill that we need to start our week off with. Cold but snuggly and infinitely powerful and beautiful. So, let this white blanket envelop you and imagine being as chill about it as these lovely big kitties. 

Surprise! Well, it can't be that much of a surprise. These expressive pets look as if they were just told the most shocking news -- and what's more shocking than finding out you're adopted? We're sure there are plenty of things but this one just felt right. 

Expressive animals are one of our favorite things in this world, it's so hilarious and truly makes it known that all animals carry an arrange of emotions, just like us. You can see when they're angry, scared, or happy. You can tell when they're shocked, curious, or suspicious. They wear their heart on their sleeve, their facial expressions just give them away and we're so thankful for that! 

There are cats who are more expressive than others but all cats can show some facial expressions. Here are 20 pets who just discovered the dreaded truth... they aren't the hooman's biological baby.
