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. 

The stories here are incredibly diverse - from people adopting tiny newborn itty bitty kitties to people adopting pets who no one else wanted anymore. 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. 

If you're a cat owner who allows its cat to go outside and just hang out, have you ever wondered about where your cat goes? What kind of adventures does it have? Perhaps it has a whole life away from home that you know nothing about. Except that sometimes, entirely on accident, you end up finding your cat in the most unexpected places. 

And other times, like the hilarious Facebook comments from our amazing ICanHasCheezburger users that you're about to read, you end up finding your neighbor's cat in some weird places - i.e. your own home. Cats do whatever they want to do and go wherever they wanna go, that's their nature, and all we can do is accept it and laugh at it when appropriate - like now. 

Anyone who says cats don't love their humans doesn't know what they're talking about, and these heartwarming cat Facebook posts from our amazing cat-loving ICanHasCheezburger users prove just that. Cats have their own way of showing love - cats show love differently than dogs, they show love differently than humans, but they love hard nonetheless. 

You just need to know how to appreciate their love, even if it takes a while for them to warm up to you. Eventually, you will learn to understand the exact ways in which they love you, and nothing will be more gratifying and fulfilling than that. So, enjoy this collection of wholesomeness and may your heart warm with love. 

Every single one of our pets has its little quirks and difficulties, let's be honest. But, some pets are more difficult than others. Pets' behavioral issues can stem from many things, but regardless of why they have them, some families simply cannot handle them. That happens. We can understand situations where a family cannot give a pet what it needs. The most important thing is making sure to not simply abandon a pet like that, but find it a forever home that will give it all the love and care that it needs. 

Prancer is one of those more "difficult" pets, so difficult that writing up his adoption ad was difficult. But this amazing ad about this amazing dog has gone viral, and thanks to that, many potential owners are already showing up for this little boy, and we know that one of them will be the one for him. 

Giving a name to your pet is something sacred. It is like naming a child. It's the name you'll be using when you ask them "who's an adorable little baby?", it's the name you'll be yelling when they inevitably do something that they know they're not supposed to do. The name must be chosen with care and with the future in mind... 

Oh, we're kidding, the best pet names are the silliest ones. There is nothing funnier than walking your dog outside and yelling "Beef Stroganoff, don't eat that!" It's perfect. And apparently, our lovely Facebook users have given some of the silliest (strangely food-related) names to their pets, and we just had to share our favorite ones with you.

All cats have their little quirks and issues, but one thing that they all have in common is that they looove being hooligans. They love sitting where they shouldn't, knocking things off shelves, and chewing cords. It's true, not every cat does it, and some cats grow out of eating your cables, but some don't, and our ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared some of these hilarious stories with us. 

All jokes aside, remember though, if your cat is one of them delinquents who chew on cords, do your best to hide these cords rather than leave them dangling. We wouldn't want out little babies to be hurt during their playtime. And now, onto the laughs!

This post is for the people in the crowd who truly believe that cats are not affectionate. We, cat owners, know that they are wrong of course, but the stereotype prevails. It's true that cats show love differently than humans and differently than dogs, but they still show it. You just need to know what you're looking for. 

Sometimes, a cat will show you love by blinking slowly while looking into your eyes, other times, they'll do it by showing you their bootie. And sometimes, it's a lot more straightforward than that - when they come to you, asking for physical affection in the form of cuddles. And our amazing Facebook users shared stories of just that which were so adorable we had to share them with you too. 

Is there anything in this world better than your pet? Anything at all? We would argue that there isn't. Our pets - cats, dogs, parrots, even fish - are our little rays of sunshine, bringing joy, energy and calm into our households. Nothing makes us smile harder than they do, nothing worries us more than when they're hurt, and nothing warms our hearts faster than when they show us that they love us back.

So, today, we and our amazing Facebook community are going to shower our little sunshine pets with the love that they have earned. It's wholesomeness and love galore, mixed with some hilarity. Prepare yourself. 

Sometimes, a tweet going viral is more than just mere entertainment. Sometimes, it does some good for animals as well. This is one of those times. When one of your friends runs a wildlife rescue and has rescued a bobcat kitten who is and "apex predator with two working brain cells," and that bobcat just so happens to be one of the cutest bobcats ever, twitter will take notice, will make that bobcat viral, and highly earned and needed donations will start coming in. 

Heartwarming tweets about animals make a difference sometimes, and twitter does indeed have its bright and selfless moments. So, we want to say thank you, and we hope that this wonderful, awwdorable kitten got all the dill it could have ever wanted!

Admit it, you too have a habit of talking to your pet. There's no shame in that. As pet owners, we can proudly say that we talk to our pets too. Why? Well, sometimes we do it just because it feels natural - they're part of the family after all. And other times we do it because we know they like it too - feeling involved, being treated as an equal. 

Of course, they don't understand us (as far as we know), so the things we say to them can be... kinda ridiculous sometimes. And when we asked our amazing Cheezburger Facebook users to tell us the funniest thing they've ever said to their pet, they sure as heck did not disappoint, sharing some of the funniest things we've ever seen.

What is the one thing that your cat does that never fails to mildly annoy you? Only first thing that comes to your head, because we can think of about twenty seven things that our cats do to annoy us in about thirty seconds. We love them, yes, it's true. We would do anything for them to make them happy, but my goodness, they are such little demons sometimes.

There are things that they do that annoy us that we feel absolutely have to be intentional. There is no way that they are not. There are only so many times that my cat will come sit on my face in the middle of the night and I wake up to scold it until I start thinking that the little hellion is doing it on purpose. 

Imagine: it's the middle of the week, nighttime, you're sleeping, everything is lovely, then suddenly BOOM. Something crashes in your house. If you're first reaction, instead of fear of an intruder, is a resigned sigh and muttering the words: "3am... again..." congratulations, you're a cat owner, and your cat is having some zoomie time. 

We don't know precisely why our little crazy furballs have these intense fits of energy at the absolutely worst times, but they do. And though when they wake us up from our precious sleep in the middle of the night on a workday, we might want to cry ever so slightly, but... at least we have a little cat demon to cuddle.

If you ever encounter someone who is considering getting a pet but is unsure, give them a link to this article and watch them be immediately convinced to get one after they read it. Because today, our amazing users have shared with us stories of ways in which their pets comfort them, and we found ourselves grateful to our own pets all over again. 

It's like they can tell when we need them, coming to us and showing us affection in the best way that they can. And if your pet has ever tried to comfort you, you know that no matter how sad you were, having them showing you love like that did manage to make you at least a little happier. 

There have been times before where we've been asked, by people who don't have pets: "how do you know that they love you back and don't only love the food you give them?" And in our hearts, the answer is obvious - we can feel it. In every interaction, strange and unique as it may be - we feel the love that our pets have for us. 

Today, we're bringing you some proof. Our animal-loving ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared with us strange ways in which their pets show them they love them, and they were all so hilariously adorable, we simply had to share them with the rest of you guys. If you love your pet and treat it right, it will show you love back. 

If your pet has some weird ways of showing love too, come tell us about it in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime. 

If you have a cat, then you know that no matter how much money you spend on them, they will always find the cheapest, most ridiculous "toys" to play with. From crumpled up pieces of paper to uncooked pasta. Honestly, it's their fault that you keep spending so much money buying them cool things, they never asked for it lol. 

Our awesome cat owner users definitely know the struggle, trying to pamper their kitties by getting them the most expensive things only to then have them go crazy over their hair tie. It's inevitable. And hilarious. So we thought you should enjoy laughing at this too. 

Have a great weekend, and come share your cats' weird quirks in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Every person who owns a cat knows that they are an incredibly affectionate animal. They just get a bad rep for some reason with others. People do not understand the ways in which they show love, but that doesn't mean that they don't do it. And Cheezburger users, animal lovers like us, know that better than most. 

So, when our awesome users share their stories on Facebook and make our hearts flutter with love, we only think it's right to share their stories with everyone else as well. And if you're one of our users and have a story worth telling of your own, come talk to us in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.
