cute

As cats got more and more domesticated, there became more and more cats that never set a paw outside the air-conditioned home. At some point, a lot of these cats simply get so used to this environment that they can find themselves really stressed out if they go outside. This is why these cat backpacks have become so revolutionary! I swear this is not an ad. It's just that I also have indoor cats and this could be a great solution that won't stress them out too much and allow them to enjoy the great outdoors! Or the supermarket like in one of the photos....

Below there are 13 photos of cats in their cat backpacks. These cats are chillin and enjoying being carried around like kings and queens whilst their owners introduce them to new sights far beyond the home. It's so exciting and so safe! Love it!

There's nothing more heartwarming than the story of a kitten rescue. Reading about a person who takes time out of their day to help a helpless kitten in need is something that makes us inexplicably happy. It inspires us to want to help animals as well. Binforlife on imguris a person who does exactly that - helping little animals in need. And one of Binforlife's latest rescues is a tiny trashcan kitty who he wasn't even sure he wanted. 

Now, the tiny girl is no longer tiny and no longer helpless, sitting on her rescuer's shoulder and enjoying the new life she was given. It's important that, when you hear a kitten crying out for help, or any other animal, for you to do your best to help them - whether it's taking them in yourselves or calling someone else for help. 

Dogs with jobs are so amazing. One of the most amazing jobs that dogs have though in our opinion are helping other humans. Service dogs are so important, and they always do such important jobs. And while every dog who becomes a service dog is so, so important, not every single dog can become a service dog. Some of them are simply too good and gentle for that job.

That is the story of this gorgeous black Labrador pupper. The little guy was just a tiny bit too shy to become a service dog, so he ended up being a rescue. He still stayed the very best boy though, and the things he was taught in service dog school have definitely come in handy for him protecting his human. 

Despite how common they are as pets, parrots are one of the most interesting animals that we've ever encountered. Parrots speak, parrots are jerks, parrots have zero sense of self preservation, and they show quite a bit of affection for an animal that you wouldn't think would do that. We love parrots, but that doesn't stop us from being amazed by them, and twitter, over the weekend, has experienced that exact amazement. 

Because not only do parrots talk, they talk in different accents. And parrots are not the only bird who speaks, some crows speak as well, and sometimes, one bird will try to imitate another bird. Birds are not only hilarious but they are absolutely amazing as well, and you're about to see just why that is.

Only on the internet does so many people come together and create a mini phenomenon surrounding something like cat's toes. Or in other words, toe beans. Yes, you read that right. Toe beans! Toe beans are called that because of the shape of the little pads on their feet. One thing I learned in my search for toe beans is that no matter the age of the cat, toe beans are gosh darn cute, especially if they have an extra toe bean thrown in there.

Below, y'all will find photos of kitty toes at different angles. Some are pretty standard, but some are also hilarious or artistic. Personally, my absolute favorite thing to do is to put my finger in the palm of my kitty's paw whilst their making biscuits in the air and then the beans tense around it.

Cats are kind of known to be uh cough cough antisocial creatures. Sometimes it is true, I'm not gonna lie. However, a lot of the time it very much isn't the case! For example, cats and dogs oftentimes get along swimmingly despite all the rumors. With a little getting used to and enough encouragement, a lot of animals can absolutely get along with cats! Cats just show their love in funny ways sometimes.

Some of the photos you will see here are cats with animals they are "supposed" to fight with, like dogs. Some of the photos even include photos of cats with animals they are "supposed to eat, like birds. If a cat can freakin adopt a duck as one of its own, maybe world peace is closer than we think! 

There are so many things that make us go: "wow, animals are so amazing!" It can be coming across some criminally underrated animals online, it could be seeing the abnormalities of nature - animals with super unique color mutations - or it could be just looking at one of our pets and finding ourselves amazed by things they do and grateful to have them in our lives. But, there is so much that we do not know about the animal world!

So, it' s time to get awwducated. Thanks to Reddit's r/Awwducational, we can always learn some amazing new and adorable facts about animals. It's wasting your time looking at cute animals on the internet while also learning something at the same time. Guilt-free procrastination, that's what we're all lookig for. 

Dogs are the most adorable animals ever, yes, we agree. And we can also agree that dogs are the biggest goofballs and that they are such big drama queens sometimes. They're too curious for their own good. They'll stick their nose everywhere. It's these moments - where the madness and shenanigans take over - that make us love dogs even more than before. 

Moments of true pawndemonium are moments of simply dogs being dogs. And r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog on Reddit definitely knows how to appreciate the madness. Thank you, beautiful subreddit, for always providing us with the hilarious doggo content that we always, always need.

Any cat-parent will tell you that the nature of cats is that they never come when you want them to, and they will always want to cuddle when you are at your busiest. Even as I'm typing this article, I have one cat spread out over my laptop and another cat under my chair asking me to pet him. Therefore, cats are notorious for laying across our keyboards, gnawing on our pencils, and not allowing us to turn our pages. Basically, cats are always sitting where they shouldn't.

Below, you all will find recent pictures and stories of this wild and consistent phenomenon. But truth be told, no matter how annoying a cat can get, it is endlessly cute and will always raise a chuckle. However, you will never have a say when your cat does this.

Wombats are one of the most underrated cutest animals ever. They have an internet following, kind of like the love that sloths have received over recent years but less trendy. Wombats are a strange mix in that they look like what would happen if a kangaroo and a koala and a pig got together and had a baby. Only in Australia, I tell ya. One of my best friends is obsessed with wombats and the moment I told her I was making this list, she was already blowing up my phone with some of the examples you will find below!

Wombats are clearly a very cuddly bunch! They were born for hugging and digging, basically. Unlike kangaroos, wombats have their pouches on their backs so that they can dig in the ground without harming or dirtying their young. Unique and sweet creatures, you will find below 15 pictures that show why wombats are completely underrated!

There is nothing more wholesome and heartwarming than some pet adoption stories. So, when our animal-loving ICanHasCheezburger users decided to share their pawdorable kitty cat's stories, we absolutely had to share them with you - so that your hearts melt of joy just as much as ours had.

Reading each and every one of them is a guaranteed way to make yourself smile. Each is heartwarming and beautiful and makes us so happy that there are people adopting animals in need all the time. 

We love cats just as much as the next cat lady, but sometimes we gotta show our love for the other fluffy animals of the world. On today's agenda, we've got the cutest bunnies in all the land to melt your hearts! No matter what they're doing, bunnies are always cute, and that's a fact. Scroll down for sunny days with the bunny rabbits below. 

What's better than one cat? That's right, two cats! Double the trouble, double the fun, double the mess to deal with, but also double the love to give for these adorable special cats. 

You can't argue with the logic of it. If one cat brings you joy, two will bring you double of it. They will also be friends with each other, and we know that seeing our cat BFFs cuddling each other when we get back home from work or school will definitely be the most wholesome thing in the whole wide world. Two cats cuddling us would be double the love as well.

Really, there's no downside to having two cats, and these viral cat tweets are about to show you exactly why you should get an extra cat too. 

TGIF, everyone! It's time to finish this week strong and finally start winding down and getting ready to enjoy the weekend. Of course, we want our weekend to be as productive and calm as possible. And for us, dog lovers, that requires a little extra dose of doggo pawdorableness and positivity.
