gentle

Sometimes, just like you, your kitty cat just wants some space. It's nothing against you, your cat still very clearly loves you. But cats are independent beings, and they need their alone time. So, if you reach for your cat, and it pulls away, let them. Giving them space will only serve to bring them closer to you at the end, to allow them to trust you more easily. 

Take a look at the way your cat pulls away from you. If it does it anything like the awwdorable kitty in this video, you can rest assured that it loves you more than you know. Because this kitty says "no" so very gently to her toe beans being touched, it simply makes us fall in love. 

Two baby creatures meeting for the first time, could anything be cuter? This most wholesome video of a puppy meeting a baby for the first time went viral, and we can totally see why. The baby is so smol, and the puppy is so, so, so gentle with it. 

The puppy must know, somehow, that this tiny human is fragile and must be treated with a gentle paw. And the most gentle kisses and bites. All dogs seem to know that human babies need to be given extra special and loving care, but this puppy just takes over your heart without even trying. And the baby loves the puppy, because who wouldn't? 

We know this video is old but it's one of our favorites and just brings on the good feelings and lingers. 

We miss Koko, the gentle and intelligent gorilla who learned to sign and communicate with her caretakers. She was truly someone special and this video only confirms that. 

On July 4th, 2015, Koko got her birthday for not only one kitten to come visit her, but a whole litter. Koko fell in love with one of the kittens who equally returned its love to Koko. Their bond is shown in the video and it's just beautiful. 

Koko passed away in 2018 but her memory lives on forever! Watch more Koko videos here. 

He's so gentle with them!

Hulk might look like he would eat you whole, but this massive 18-month old, 175-pound pit bull is actually one of the nicest dogs you will ever meet, according to his owners.

Marlon Granna and his wife Lisa run Dark Dynasty K9s in New Hampshire, a kennel that breeds and trains pit bulls to be used as protection for a number of clients including the police and the government.

But even though Hulk and the other animals are trained to be ruthless guard dogs, he lets the couple's 3-year old son cuddle up and play with him.

"They're dogs, just like any other dog," says Lisa Grannan. "No matter what the breed, it's all completely on how you raise them."

A video of Hulk being weighed on a scale went viral last month and is now at over 7 million views, and in addition to the Barcroft TV feature above, he recently made a trip to New York to do the media rounds with "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition."
