cute

Most people, when going to adopt a pet, tend to go for the little ones- the baby kittens and puppies who they'll get to raise into their families. And of course, while every adoption and every rescue is to be celebrated, it's important to remember to adopt senior and sick pets too. And sometimes, it happens that this understanding comes to you as you're already in the shelter, about to pick up your tiny new baby, and then an older one-eyes cat looks at you, and finds its way right into your soul.

A tweet sharing a story like that went viral, and other twitter users with similar stories chimed in, sharing their own stories of last minute changes to adoption plans- ones that ended with them picking up the less fortunate animals and giving them a warm home too. 

So, bring in the tissues and let your heart warm with joy. 

As cat people, we must use every opportunity we have to proclaim our love for cats. That is the rule of being a cat owner: talk about cats and how amazing and adorable and purrfect they are whenever and as much as possible. Talking about them is not enough though, you must spread cat-supremacy even without speaking, and that is when awesome cat T-shirts come into the picture. 

It is a cat owner's duty to own at least one awesome cat T-shirt, and the ones we, the editors, have collected for you to choose from are unisex, affordable, and truly purrfect. We hope you love these T-shirts as much as we do. I, personally have 3 of them and just ordered another 2 to match the number of cats I have at home. 

And just so you know, 'I Can Has Cheezburger' earns an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases from the products we link to. So, by getting a cool T-shirt, you get to support the best cat website online too lol. 

If you're interested in more cool cat products, you can check out our list of interactive toys for cat whose owners are finally going back to work.

Happy shopping, cat lovers. 

Animals... They're just like us. Except when they're not.

Part of the enjoyment of animals is when they do things that are very human-like. Be it walking on two feet or shaking hands or dun dun dunnnnnn... Smiling! When animals smile like humans, it feels like they are speaking to our very souls. We can't help but think they did it on purpose and that they know what they're doing with their faces.

Below are 12 pictures of animals who took their smiles to a whole other level! They did their best and you gotta give them credit for that. Their smiles may be wonky, but the message is clear. Enjoy!

Anywhere from "Babe, Pig in the City" to Charlotte's Web, pigs have held a special place in our hearts. Ariana Grande knew what she was talking about when she said she wanted a pet pig. I can't imagine that they're too clean but who cares when they just look so cute! Look at those little ears and those fuzzy bellies! Baby pigs are, of course, the pinnacle of adorableness!

Below y'all will find 12 pictures of the sweetest baby pigs on the internet right now. Some of them are smiling. Some have their tongues sticking out. Cheeky! Some have even made friends! Peruse and enjoy the scrumptious little darlings.

What started off tragic ended up leading to a heartwarming friendship between a fox and two doggos. Cliodhna O'Leary, a 29-year-old animal lover from Cork, Ireland, used to be visited by two foxes from time to time - a brother and sister. But one day, tragically, the brother got run over and died. O'Leary, having grown attached to the beautiful smiling foxes, decided to adopt the 2-week-old fox who lost her brother into her own little family, and in an incredible turn of events, she "watched in awe as the creature befriended her pug and springer spaniel puppy."

When we think of things that are guaranteed to bring a smile to our faces and make us the happiest people in the world, we can only really think of one thing, the thing you've been waiting for all week long - meeting the newly adopted faces of the week. 

Every single Friday, we look through every corner of the internet to collect for you as many pictures newly adopted pets as possible. These little furballs finding their forever homes are guaranteed to bring butterflies to your belly and make sure that your weekend starts right - with warmth, cuteness, and wholesomeness. 

Of course, we would like to thank every one of you out there who adopted these little cuties. A special thank you goes to the ones of you who have adopted a senior pet, a sick pet, or a pet with behavioral issues - every single pet deserves love and every one of its adopters deserves an extra bit of love from us too. 

When it comes to fluff, the bigger the better. To pet and cuddle our pets or animals we see in the wild is one of the greatest pleasures one earth. I pity those who are allergic to fur. They have no idea what they're missing! Holding the fluffiest furball you can find and not knowing where the fur ends, and the bodies begin… just one of life's treasures to be honest.

Below are 12 of the fluffiest and cutest animals on the planet! Some are animals that you can find in a home. Some you can only enjoy from a distance. And frankly, I would try my luck anyway just to get a handful of that fur. So fluffy! 

Get ready for a cuteness overload, dog lovers, because you're about to see 21 of the most adorable puppies we could find on the internet. We love all dogs, don't get us wrong, no matter how big a dog is, we love it more than anything. But, puppies - puppies will always have a special place in our souls. 

Because itty bitty puppies are too adorable for this world, and no matter how many pics of them we see, we are forever smitten and in love. And considering how much love they give us all the time, we thought it was only right to give this puppy pile some more loveback. Because one can never love puppies enough. 

It is a known fact that if you want your cat not to go somewhere, that is exactly where they will go. Forever and always, cats are going to be where they shouldn't be. No matter how much you yell at them not to, how many times you spray them with water, they will keep coming back to that place that forbidden place. 

From sitting on pizzas to falling asleep on plants, cats are defiant through and through. And for some reason, the second you get your puzzle pieces out of the box, they find their way onto them as well. Gotta catch them fast if you don't want all of your hard work destroyed. At least the pictures of those disasters are funny though, so laugh away, cat lovers. 

All cats are purrefct, even the ones of them that are... less than perfect. Whether they are adorable kitties with less than four legs, gorgeous cats with only one eye, or cat who, for one reason or another, have certain behavioral issues. We, as cat lovers, can't forget to give love to these purrfectly less-than-perfect underappreciated cats as well. That brings us to today, where we're going to be giving some love to the blind furballs among us. 

They may be blind, but that does not mean that they can't see the people who love them. They can feel affection from their humans in every interaction they have, and it's precious. So, give them some love and get ready for some butterflies, because this collection of blind beauties is going to bring you all the 'aww's.

Animal rescue stories are always heartwarming, but you might not expect a fish rescue story to be. Despite people getting fish as pets so commonly, most people don't know how hard taking care of a pet fish can be. And in this story, unfortunately, the family who had the now not-so-ugly 'Ugly Ivan' not only didn't take care of him well but neglected and abused him. 

Most people probably wouldn't work so hard to rescue a fish, but NotaScientologiston imgurdid. Surprisingly, people responded with more love than any of us expected, with Ugly Ivan going viral over and over again. People wanted to know more about his story, and people wanted him to survive, and luckily, people are getting both of these things.
