heartwarming

Ahhhh kitten season... There are very few things in this world more precious than a litter of kittens or many of them. They have their tiny noses and tiny feet. And there is that factor where their bite is not painful yet. To see kittens with their momma is even better! The kittens start learning how to "make biscuits" and it's all just really really beautiful.

There are photos of different kinds of cat families. Whether it be in numbers, breeds, or coloring, families come in all kinds of forms. A lot of the photos brought to this post are recent so if you want to check on the progress of these babies, go ahead and follow the credit link!

There's nothing more heartwarming than the story of a kitten rescue. Reading about a person who takes time out of their day to help a helpless kitten in need is something that makes us inexplicably happy. It inspires us to want to help animals as well. Binforlife on imguris a person who does exactly that - helping little animals in need. And one of Binforlife's latest rescues is a tiny trashcan kitty who he wasn't even sure he wanted. 

Now, the tiny girl is no longer tiny and no longer helpless, sitting on her rescuer's shoulder and enjoying the new life she was given. It's important that, when you hear a kitten crying out for help, or any other animal, for you to do your best to help them - whether it's taking them in yourselves or calling someone else for help. 

Dogs with jobs are so amazing. One of the most amazing jobs that dogs have though in our opinion are helping other humans. Service dogs are so important, and they always do such important jobs. And while every dog who becomes a service dog is so, so important, not every single dog can become a service dog. Some of them are simply too good and gentle for that job.

That is the story of this gorgeous black Labrador pupper. The little guy was just a tiny bit too shy to become a service dog, so he ended up being a rescue. He still stayed the very best boy though, and the things he was taught in service dog school have definitely come in handy for him protecting his human.

Only on the internet does so many people come together and create a mini phenomenon surrounding something like cat's toes. Or in other words, toe beans. Yes, you read that right. Toe beans! Toe beans are called that because of the shape of the little pads on their feet. One thing I learned in my search for toe beans is that no matter the age of the cat, toe beans are gosh darn cute, especially if they have an extra toe bean thrown in there.

Below, y'all will find photos of kitty toes at different angles. Some are pretty standard, but some are also hilarious or artistic. Personally, my absolute favorite thing to do is to put my finger in the palm of my kitty's paw whilst their making biscuits in the air and then the beans tense around it.

Cats are kind of known to be uh cough cough antisocial creatures. Sometimes it is true, I'm not gonna lie. However, a lot of the time it very much isn't the case! For example, cats and dogs oftentimes get along swimmingly despite all the rumors. With a little getting used to and enough encouragement, a lot of animals can absolutely get along with cats! Cats just show their love in funny ways sometimes.

Some of the photos you will see here are cats with animals they are "supposed" to fight with, like dogs. Some of the photos even include photos of cats with animals they are "supposed to eat, like birds. If a cat can freakin adopt a duck as one of its own, maybe world peace is closer than we think! 

It's not just humans who suffer from the cold; animals do too and these cows can get absolutely freezing in the winter. Farmers have come up with the perfect solution to keep their precious cows warm, by crocheting earmuffs, aka moo muffs, which protect the cow's ears from frostbite. Have you ever seen anything more wholesome in your life?!

Babies and animals are some of the sweetest images on the planet because we get to witness true discovery.
