cute

These doggos seem a tad bit confused... they've got a whole lot of catto energy coming off of them, and coming off strong. 

It would make sense if you had only one dog who grew up in a household with cats, but there are just some positions and things cats can do flawlessly that dogs... well, they can do these things but nowhere near as flawless. In fact, it's just bizarre and unusual to find your dog perched on top of the fridge. Something that cats do so often, you wouldn't even bat an eye. 

It could be due to the large size of dogs, that seeing them in small/cat-like situation seems comical. And it's also a bit confusing to seem them behave like their natural enemy -- cats. 

I guess it just goes to show that dogs can do (almost) anything that cats can do. 

We feel a bit snappy today. And the only way we could express that snappiness is in the form of cat snaps -- of course. 

Is there anything better than a good quality dose of cat snaps to help brighten your mood? If the answer to that question is no, then just don't answer. 

If needed, there are multiple cat snap doses you can treat yourself with, we just ask that you be cautious and aware of the side-effects. The side effects being overdosed by cuteness. 

You have been warned. 

20 years ago, the Burmese roofed turtle was presumed extinct, but today, we have some good news! This huge Asian river turtle, whose face seems to be set with a permanent smile, has been saved from extinction by a group of scientists. After accidentally coming across a few of these turtles, these scientists, over the years, have managed to grow the population of these turtles to 1000 and counting, with some of the turtles even released back into the wild.

For the foxy fox lovers in the crowd, today, we are presenting some funky, fresh, ferocious fox memes! The love we have for foxes is undeniable and unending. They are funny (and have the funniest laugh), they let people pet them (as if they're puppies), and they're absolutely gorgeous. And possibly best of all, they make some absolutely great memes. 

So, to fill the fox-shaped hole in your heart, take a look at these funny fox memes and enjoy this foxy goodness. And if this is not enough fox content to fulfill you, we welcome you to fall into the foxhole.

Is there anything better in this world than your cat letting you rub their belly? We don't think so. The amount of trust and love that they show by doing nothing more exposing that soft, soft, floofy belly of theirs makes us feel honored. Morning, evening, middle of the night, whenever it may be, if the belly is up and your kitty is asking for you to pet it, you must do so. Take the opportunity while it lasts and hope to impress that little feline enough so that they offer you this honor yet again in the future. 

May this awwdorable, heartwarming collection of cats who love getting their bellies petted give you luck and encourage your kitty to do the same. And if you're in the mood for any other kitty fluffiness, check out these cats with chubby and squishy cheeks.

Cats, cats, and cats. Nothing but cats and that's how we like it! Each week, we love to collect the best cat pics and stories online and present them here. 

Each cat picture, or video, tells a different story and has a different set of emotions behind it. That's what makes this gathering a medley of a variety of things, number one being adorableness (which, granted, all cats naturally have), the second is the much-needed balance of humor, and the last being anything that tugs on the heartstrings (good or bad).

In this case, we have both. We have heartwarming stories of glow-ups and transformations. Yet, we also have heartbreaking moments of mourning and loss. We wanted to take a moment and send love to those who had recently had a pet cross the rainbow bridge. Your pet may be gone physically, but never emotionally, and never, ever forgotten. 

Oh, sweet, sweet doggo thoughts. Is there anything in this world purer than the Twitter handle, "Thoughts of Dog?" The answer to that question is no. 

Thoughts of Dog has been a beacon of light in these unsure times, it's something we can always count on to provide us with some smiles, and some laughter. All we can say is, thank goodness for Thoughts of Dog...  and for dogs everywhere. Dogs truly deserve the world.

If for some unexplained reason, these newfound thoughts aren't providing you with enough wholesomeness, we can always venture back in time for previous tweets! 

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 Dunder Kitten!

Calling all Office fans -- we've got the ultimate cat account you should be following! 

If Michael Scott were a cat... he'd be Dunder Kitten. Meet the cat version of Michael Scott, named Michael Scott, or "Meowchael Scott," if you prefer. He is a very handsome black cat who manages 4 other cats. I guess you can say he's kind of a top dog in a fairly large pond. 

Michael Scott may not seem like a good manager at first, but give him around 7 seasons to help you change your mind. 

At just about 15 inches tall, Dik-Dik's might just be the cutest animal around! Dik-dik's are actually the world's smallest antelope species, a "dwarf" antelope, as if they couldn't be any cuter -- these animals are fun-sized forever. 

They are commonly found in southern Africa and have tiny tufts of hair that are small horns, much like a giraffe. The males have the horn and the females don't, just like deer. 

Dik-dik's seem to be a mix of everything we love and combined into one insanely cute animal. 

Tuesday's are basically an extension of Monday's. We know it, you know it, we're positive everyone feels this way. And because of Tuesday's being just as blah as Monday's, we needed to come up with a dose of cuteness to help us all through it. 

The weekly dose of cuteness is very vital to our nutrition. If you skip a week, please take the other dose as soon as you remember. The best part of this prescription is that you don't need any referrals, and you never have to wait. Each and every Tuesday, you can count on us to provide you with the cuteness you need to get through today and the rest of this week.  

Chinese artist, Mai Mai, has perfectly summed up what life is like after you get a pet and the little day-to-day things that will change because of it/

Photos of landscapes and selfies will be replaced with nothing but your pets. Maybe a few selfies with said pets. Have clean clothes? Not anymore. Pet hair gets everywhere, and it gets everywhere fast. Extra money? Will go to taking care of your pet because they come first. 

It may sound unpleasant but it's honestly the best. And all pet owners can attest to that. There is nothing compared to having a best friend by side, always loving you. Truly, it's unmeasurable. 

Thank you, Mai Mai, for opening up our eyes and showing up the beauty of what having pets in our lives accomplishes.

There's always some concern when it comes to leaving your baby with a cat. It's a fair thing to worry about since we know, as cat owners, that no matter how much our cat loves us, accidents happen, and sometimes we get scratched. Despite that, you might have noticed that cats have a tendency to want to be around a baby - smell it, sleep snuggled up next to it, lick its head. It might be because a lot of times babies smell like milk. It might be because cats are just curious creatures and babies are new and interesting additions to their homes. 

There's no obvious explanation for the care cats show to babies, but one thing that we do know is that it is omg so adorable. To show you just how sweet cats and babies can be together, we have gathered 24 pictures of just that to warm your heart and make your stomach flutter throughout the day. 

If you're in the mood for some more animal baby adorableness, here are some pets showing love to their pregnant hoomans.

Three weeks ago, an adorable 5-week-old kitten was brought into Albuquerque Animal Welfare for emergency surgery with her face and jaw crushed. The kitten - Mittens - had to go through multiple surgeries, but unfortunately, in the beginning, they weren't enough. Since multiple surgeries were too expensive for the shelter to cover, the veterinarians that were treating Mittens offered to do the rest of the treatment for free and, in the process, came up with a new, innovative way to help Mittens, using... buttons. 

A terrifying story with a happy ending. Three years ago, a six week old Bengal tiger cub was rescued from a wildlife trafficking attempt at a San Diego area border crossing. Today, the fully grown tiger, Moka, is living happily with another rescued tiger named Nola.

Moka was discovered in the floorboard of a sports car driven by an 18-year-old man who was attempting to smuggle the tiger from Tijuana through the U.S.-Mexico border. As reported by the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy and Border Report, the passenger under whose legs the cub was hidden had at first said that it was "just a cat." The driver, Luis Valencia, when questioned, claimed that he had bought the tiger in Tijuana after seeing someone walking it on a leash and wanted to keep it as a pet. Later, of course, it was discovered that both statements were false, and Luis was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges.

The cub was taken to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and had a surgery that saved his life. At the time, his weight was less than that of the average house cat - just 6 pounds. His name, Moka, means "chance" in Bengali and was given to him as a way of commemorating the story of his discovery. There, he got to meet Rakan, "a Sumartan tiger cub whose mother was unable to care for him," and together they grew up, played, wrestled, and pounced, becoming stronger and happier.

After a few months of care, still only a few months old, Moka was moved into an animal sanctuary called Lions, Tigers & Bears east of San Diego where he met Nola from Louisiana - another now fully grown tiger who was rescued as a cub.

The founder and director of Lions, Tigers & bears, Bobbi Brink, told Border Report that "[Moka and Nola] were both the same age, so they made great roommates, now they're best of friends," as well as that "[h]e's kind of shy but Nola is his strength. She'll be the first one to go out and check out something then slowly but surely he'll be right behind her," and no ending could make us happier.

Take a look at pictures of Moka from three years ago, over the first three months at the safari (with Rakan!) and today below.

We love the boops! If there is a snoot in our eyesight, our immediate reaction is to boop it. No matter what animal, and no matter whose! 

But, please don't go around boop-ing snoots of those who don't belong to you... could be weird. It's simply hard to resist such boop-able snouts, especially when they get all in your face, like the images shared below. 

If you have a pet with a boop-able snoot, share a picture in the comments below!
