Leave all that negative energy elsewhere because, from this point forward, there's nothing but good vibes allowed. Let the goodness run through you as you shuffle through the following collection of pure happiness curated into memes. 

Each week, we deliver you the most wholesome animal memes we can get our hands on because it's the beginning of the week and we all know how much that sucks. At least with wholesome memes, we can embrace the day a bit easier, and hopefully, it'll start our week off on the right now! 

Have a great and wholesome week, everyone! 

Extra! Extra! Watch all about it! 

Once again, we have gathered up the heckin' cutest and silliest cat videos on Instagram and we never ever get tired of such adorableness. If you do, this might not be the place for you. However, we have a slight suspicion you're like us and can't get enough of cat-related pics and vids either. 

Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, to begin with! OK, time to dive into this week's top vids, we've got some real gems this week that need your undivided attention. Starting right... now. 

Baby giraffes are so darn cute, it's hard to think straight whenever you come across a picture of one! With those giant eyes surrounded by long, long, extremely long eyelashes, a beautiful spotted coat, and their ridiculously cute disheveled hair-covered horns!

Obviously, they haven't grown in those horns, called ossicones, but we need to formally address them because they do deserve our attention. 

Get ready to fall in love with some (if not all) the following baby giraffes: 

Cats and dogs are very different, that's true. They may spend most of their day sleeping and cleaning themselves, but all of us cat owners know that sometimes, our cats have very dog-like moments. We love them no matter what, of course, but the level of energy that they have sometimes can be straight-up shocking.

Sprinting in circles and falling off chairs in the process, here is a list of cats forgetting that they're not dogs and also that their tails are indeed attached to their bodies and going for a chase.

Silly, wholesome pups! These dogs don't quite realize how much they've grown! 

When you're a pup, and you're constantly on your human's lap -- I guess you'd figure you'd be able to be on that lap forever. And then all of a sudden, the things you once fit inside so easily don't quite feel the same... and the regular things (and humans) you laid on top of have suddenly shrunk tremendously. Yet, you still try because it fit once, it'll fit again, right?

Check out these overgrown pups who will forever be puppies at heart: 

Good morning, lovely readers! We hope you have a fantastic day ahead of you but before that, we want to treat you to some fresh animal memes-- to really get the day started off right. 

There's really nothing like a good dose of animal humor and a touch of wholesomeness in the morning. It really brightens up the day, even if it's only slightly. 

We hope you've got that hot cup of joe and you're in comfy pajamas for this cozy treat! Enjoy! 

What a lovely day -- the sun is shining and the birds are chirping! That can only mean one thing... it's time for some ridiculous birb memes to really set the mood! 

And, truth be told, it's been a hot minute since we've heard that the bird is the word. 

Get ready to spread those wings and dive into this scrumptious feast of bird memes! 

We always want to spoil our pets. 

And let's be real, we do just that! So we put together some great finds happening right now on the internet that your pup will love and you will enjoy! 

From matching masks, and toys to even a fashional poop bag! 

It's always fun when you come across something that usually looks a certain way and all of a sudden, you see a new shape within it. Remind us of staring up at the sky and coming up with shapes out of clouds. 

Except, these items really do look unusual to everyone and you don't have to explain what part of the cloud looks like what. Here are 16 different fruits and veggies that somehow grew to look like animals or mythical creatures. We have no idea how they came to look this way but we are grateful for it because they are all delightful. 

ICanHasCheezburger? is proud to present and partner with The Waggle Foundation, in a Pet of the Month initiative. 

Each month, we will be featuring a pet in critical need and needs financial help to survive. We will share their story, their adorable photos, and their journey with the help of unbelievably kind strangers. 

The Waggle Foundation is a unique crowd-funding platform. Their mission is to help reduce economic euthanasia in pets. Unfortunately, because of financial struggles families cannot afford to help their beloved pets. That is where the Waggle Foundation steps in. They strive to help each and every pet in need, and just as their motto says "No pet parent should lose their best friend because of financial hardship."

And we couldn't agree more.

100% of donations to pets on the Waggle crowdfunding platform go directly to the veterinary providers administering care and never to the pet owners. This way, Waggle provides the safety and security for all donors in a way that other crowdfunding platforms cannot guarantee, and is reassured that the pet gets the help it needs.

And with that, we would like to present August's Pet of The Month: (Drumroll Please!) 

Chloë!

Bears. Beets. Battle Star Galactica. 

Okay, maybe just bears. However, bears might be the most interesting subject out of all three things listed above. Sorry to offend, beet lovers of the world. 

Bears are dangerous animals, but they're also one of the cutest animals around. Yes, if you encounter one out in the wild it would be downright terrifying but what is about these animals that make us drawn to them? It could be that they're obviously fluffy, or how funny they look when they're standing. Or, maybe it's just instilled into our minds at a young age when you get your first stuffed teddy bear. 

Also, there's the obvious fact that they hibernate for about 7 months, which just sounds like a dream for anyone of us. Ah, sleep, we love it so much.

Bear with us here while we dive into the wildest bear memes we found scattered across the web. 

Welcome to another purrfect Caturday madness! With fifty delicious and fresh cat memes to roll around in, you'll be in Caturday bliss! 

Another week completed and we need to celebrate the only way we know how -- cat memes. And so very many cat memes. 

After taking in this wonderful dish of memes, you can continue the Caturday celebration with last week's hot batch! And after all that meme ingesting, it's probably a good time for a long catnip. 

Happy Caturday, everyone! 

Sea otters! The pup of the sea! Did you know that sea otters can live their entire life without ever leaving the water? What the what. 

They also have the densest fur of any other animal on Earth! Unlike most marine animals, otters don't have any blubber to keep themselves warm. These aww-tterly adorable animals are so cute and cuddly, it makes sense that they would make an excellent meme!
