Is there anything in this world more precious than animals? The answer is no. When it comes to delivering the feels, and the happy-haps, no creature on Earth can do a better job than animals. Not only are they adorable, which they are, but they can also be smart, and they can definitely be loving, and mostly, they can be funny. They are the entire package. 

A package that we have decided to gift wrap for you and place a giant red bow on top! That's right, folks, we have gathered here the cutest and silliest animal gifs that are currently circulating the web! Animal gifs are always a gift. 

You may unwrap your gift! Enjoy!

Cats and dogs, dogs and cats. Some people may say you can either be a cat person or a dog person, we say that cats and dogs complete each other. They are the yin and yang of animals, opposites but strangely fit together in a beautiful way. We can't help but love both cats and dogs, and we wanted to make a lovely collection dedicated to dogs and cats. 

Together, cats and dogs help the world spin round. Without them, we'd be totally lost and most definitely lonely. Thank goodness for them! Thank you cats and dogs of the world for bringing us so much joy! 

Let us all take a moment to appreciate them with this large and in-charge collection of cat/dog memes 

Animal gifs are a gift, the short snippets of wholesome animals doing their wholesome things just lift our spirits immeasurably! 

There is just something about animals that fills our souls with glee and warmth, and when we get to see them in a video or gif that really amplifies their overall cuteness and wholesomeness! 

2020 is officially over and we need to start the year off right with all the wholesomeness we can get our hands on, and yes, that includes the treasure trove of animal gif goodness! There's honestly nothing quite like animals for that pick-me-up, they just seem to hit you right where you need it most -- in the feels. 

We wish you all a wonderful animal-filled and wholesome New Year! 

Ah, yes, the five C's have gathered once more to bring you this delightful compilation of cute (and very silly) cats. Is there anything better in this world than that? Don't answer, it was rhetorical. 

Looking at adorable cats doing their strange adorable cat-like things is much more than we could ever as for. It simply brings us joy and we hope that watching the following gifs will bring you joy as well. As we always say, cat gifs are a gift and that is the gift that keeps on giving! And with Thanksgiving coming up, we just can't help the gratitude we feel when we come across such cuteness. 

If you're finding yourself in a less-than-cheerful mood after seeing these cats, perhaps you'd benefit from even more cuteness. 

Wholesome interspecies animal friendships is one of everyone's favorite things, and today, tumblr is giving us a look into one of the cutest ones - cheetahs and doggos. It's a classic tumblr story, where one meme leads to an entire legendary thread that began with simple wholesome and adorable facts about how sweet cheetahs are and somehow turned into an appreciation post for cheetahs an puppies. 

It's a thread that gets better and better the more you read it, and it's so heartwarmingly good, we had to share it with you. May this bring as much joy into your day as it always does to ours and as much as these doggos bring to these cheetah cubs. 

Congratulations, you've struck gold! Gold in the form of wholesome animal pics and gifs, not just a little flake of gold either, oh no, you've got the treasure chest of animal goodness! It's rare and extremely valuable so be careful who you share this information or gold with. 

However, consider this, all this animal gold would mean nothing if you didn't have people to share with it! 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. We can't believe it's nearly the end, it flew by with a lot of drops and lows, and more lows, and maybe a little high here and there. Regardless of everything, we are in need of a mega wholesome boost to remind us of happiness.

And nothing delivers happiness like animals. Go make yourself some popcorn and get super comfy for this enjoyable ride! 

There's a reason that people love bears as much as they do. The myth of the cuddly bear runs strong in our society. I mean, look at them. How can these huge bear-hugging animals be in any way dangerous? They were obviously designed for hugs. Cleary. How can you even argue with that? 

They're the cutest, the sweetest, and they're infinitely polite. Look at them waving! Just look at them, we dare your heart not to melt. It's impossible. It's a total dream to have a bear wave at us (and also give us a hug, but we'll settle for a wave for now). The cuteness is simply overwhelming. 

What is it about animals that bring us so much joy? Sometimes, they're the only thing in our day that can actually cheer us up and make us smile. They have this wholesome power that is rare and hard to find amongst humankind. It does exist but with animals, it's almost a 100% thing. 

Animals bring us joy. And even though this tough year is nearly at its end, we can always use another burst of happiness to help us feel OK. We don't know what the new year will have in store for us, but one thing we can guarantee is that animals will always be there for us to make us smile, laugh, and feel heartwarming joy. 

Days are getting shorter and darker and we need some light to guide us through, if you're in need of extra light, you've come to the right place. 

We could all use an energy boost of wholesome goodness! Honestly, we could use this boost every day. The days are getting shorter and it's getting colder. We're already missing the Summer that barely existed. 

However, we have to hold on and remind ourselves of happiness and good in the world. In our case, that means everything animal-related. And when it comes to animals, there's nothing quite as satisfying as a wholesome gallery of precious animal gifs. Their movements, their overwhelming cuteness, it does the heart good to take it all in. 

Take some deep breathes and let this treasure trove of animal goodness flow through you. 

Animal gifs are a gift from above! So much cuteness in just a small amount of video, no more is needed and no less. Animal gifs are simply complete purrfection. 

Here's a challenge for you, try to get through this entire list of animal gifs without having a smile break out onto your pretty little face. We're going to tell you right now, it's physically impossible and we're loving every second of it. For even more added good feels, our wholesome animal memes will only lift you higher. And how wouldn't want to feel like they're on cloud 9? 

Enjoy this delicious gathering of all things cute! 

It's time for another excellent installment of Behind the Gifs, by the funny and talented Kat Swenski!. Kat Swenski is the artist behind KatRaccoon Comics and has helped create a form of storytelling called, 'Behind the Gifs.' Behind the gifs is a comic/gif hybrid narrative. You ever come across a gif with no context and you end up wondering, "what in the world is going on?" These comics dive into that missing context in strange and unexpected ways to help explain a gif. 

There's an entire community on Reddit, r/behindthegifs, filled with artists whose duty is to bring context to those context-less gifs and complete the mystery. 

We're huge fans of Kat Swenski 'Little Purrmaid' comic/gif hybird, if you have yet to see that adorable comic -- check it out! You can see more artwork on Instagram or on KatRacoon Comics!

Animals having fun is something that always brings us joy, seeing them all excited, tails wagging, jumping around. It's always the most wholesome thing ever. Their silliness makes us laugh and smile. And since it's almost the weekend - not quite there yet but getting close - we know that you need a little wholesomeness boost right now. 

So, we bring you animals having the time of their life - on trampolines. Yes. Dogs, foxes, (the cat might not look like it's having fun, but it's not leaving, which, in cat language, means it's having a blast), goats and more. They're all just so incredibly adorable, and we cannot help but smile at how much fun they're having. 

It's been a stressful week, and now, it's time to take a breath, relax, and go cuddle your kitty. The cuddling is the most important part of that, of course. To get you started on your mission of relaxation, we have collected a bunch of gifs of the most relaxing thing of all - adorable cats and kittens blowing kisses at you by slow blinking.

There's nothing that makes us happier than when our kitties blow kisses at us like that, saying "I love you" in their wholesome cat way. It really gives us butterflies, and we make sure to slow blink right back at them, saying "I love you too." It's rare enough though, to catch such moments in picture or in video, so these gifs are few and far between, but they are gifs, so we get these "I love you"s on a loop, over and over again, as many times as we need to see it. 

They may be slow, but oh my god, they are so quick to get right into our hearts and stay there. Sloths are just such unique and interesting creatures. Being so slow in nature has to have its downsides, but sloths persevere, surviving, not going anywhere (mostly literally), making tiny little baby sloths to continue their slow-building legacy.

They're the best creatures to remind you that it's okay to sometimes take a break and rest, that even if you're not the fastest, that doesn't mean that you're not strong (and totally adorable. We love sloths. Who doesn't love sloths. And today, were appreciating their tiny legacies together. 

Every cat owners knows that the second the laundry comes out, the cat comes out too. Really, it's enough to look away for one second, and once you turn around, your cat is already sitting on the fresh laundry, leaving their lovely lovely fur all over the place. 

Maybe it's because sometimes the laundry is warm, maybe it's because they just wanna spread their scent everywhere, and maybe it's because their tiny little scoundrels who just wanna sit where they aren't supposed to sit. Regardless, they sure do have the strangest fascination with laundry, and much as cat hair on our clothes can be frustrating, seeing them in the laundry pile still kinda makes us laugh. So, enjoy these silly little creatures and their love for laundry, but don't get distracted if you just took your laundry out! Oh, well, too late, kitty is already in there. 

Times are tough and we're always in need of a cute and wholesome compilation of animals! Either it is in the form of memes, tweets, or just photos and gifs, it's always very much needed and very much appreciated. 

It's Sunday and we can take this time to relax and dive into a bunch of animal gifs that'll have our hearts melting in the best way possible! There's honestly nothing quite like animals for that pick-me-up, they just seem to hit you right where you need it most -- in the feels. 

Thank you to all the animals in the world, we would be so lonely and lost without you all.
