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.

Welcome, welcome, animal lovers! It's nearing the end of the week, and that means it's time for some extra fextra giggles. Prepare yourself. You're about to receive a healthy helping of the most refined animal memes that the internet has been absolutely loving this week. 

Yes, we know, some delicious animal memes is what we all need right now. As people who love both animals and the ridiculousness of the meme, animal memes are the perfect combo for us. Just chef's kiss. May you enjoy this humble collection of memes, and for those of you who need more, here is another delicious helping. 

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!

There are certain risks that come with allowing your cat to hang around outdoors. You can never know exactly what kind of adventures they get into before they come back home in the evening. You can only wonder about it, curious out of your mind. Except that sometimes, you accidentally find out exactly where they're going, and you find them in the weirdest of all places.

You might find them hanging out at a neighbor's when you bring something over, you might find random pictures of them hanging in restaurants or other people's apartment listings. It's absolutely hilarious. And somehow, it only makes us more curious about where they are at all times. 

Outsmarting a cat is an achievement like no other. They are little hooligans, and they think that they are so dang smart. Even when they get ridiculously stuck in our curtain and scream until we get them out, they are still doing it on purpose obviously, they are still the smartest creature in the room. But sometimes, just sometimes, we can properly outsmart them. 

These weirdly informative yet hilarious tumblr posts tell the story of such cases. I mean, you have to get your silly cat to drink sOmeHOw, and if it means having to convince your cat that it's really just being sneaky and clever and drinking from your cup, well, that's just par for the course. 

We, cat owners, know that our cats are majestic beings. They are descendants of great, dangerous, glorious felines. So, of course, we make sure to treat them in a way that is appropriate. 

We present them with water, food, snacks. We pet them when they want it and get scratched when they don't. But the first thing we do to show our royal cats the respect that they deserve is give them a name - the most regal and majestic- okay, fine, we call them the dumbest things sometimes. 

Beef Stroganoff, Green Bean Casserole, Meowgan Freeman. They're all beautiful, regal and absolutely hilarious. 

Welcome to another Monday, animal lovers! Yes, we understand, getting out of bed is a whole mission today. There is nothing that we want more than to stay under our blankets and chill with our pets, but we have to get up. But, since you're here, you know that there is something that we can give you to make the start of this week just a little bit easier. 

Every week, we collect the best of the best of animal twitter, just for your enjoyment. We bring you the funniest, the cutest, the weirdest, and the most viral animal tweets of the week, because we know that they make you smile and help you start the week off on the right paw. So, please enjoy these tweets everyone, and see you here next Monday!

Is there anything better in this world than some puppers? Probably not. But something that does come close to the true magnificence of the doggo is the magnificence of tweets that are all about doggos. They will make you smile, they'll make you laugh, they will put butterflies in your belly and warmth in your hearts almost as much as real doggos would.

And seeing that the week is ending, and we could use some of that doggo positivity, we have collected for you the very best dog tweets of the week - the cutest, funniest, most wholesome and most viral tweets, in the hopes of making you smile. Because few things make us smile as much as animal twitter does.

Cat owners UNITE! 

Let's just start off with this, we love our cats. But that doesn't mean that they sometimes have these "adorable" yet weird quirks about them. 

Like always having to let us know that their food is only 2 fourths full, or when they only show interest in you when you need to focus on work or anything else! (we know, you know, that we know, what we're talking about) 

But all in all, that's what makes us love them even more, and to know that all cat owns go through the same struggles well, and even tweet about just how much cat owners relate to one another! 

So sit back, and get ready to just scream "OMG, me too!"

Oh, cats and their obsessions with strange things.. There are so many strange things that our cats love to an unexplainable degree: lying on our fresh laundry, playing with toilet paper, sleeping on plants. Those are just a few off the top of our heads, but the main obsession - the eternal love - goes for the one and only Box. 

If you have a cat, you know that all it takes is one second - only a single moment - after you open a box for your cat to suddenly appear in it. Doesn't matter if the cat wasn't even in the room before. Get a box, look away for 5 seconds, and BAM your cat will suddenly appear in it. It's magical. And hilarious. And adorable. It's cats in boxes.

There is... something about dachshunds that is different than other dogs... Even though they're so little, they are just... so dang intimidating. We can't help it, when we walk past them on the streets, we always have to take a moment and move away - can't risk the wrath of a dachshund. 

But, unfortunately for this tumblr user, it's family must have wronged a dachshund at some point in their lives, because now they are cursed. The father has been bitten and left scarred, the girl is being followed by a dachshund in school. This curse is real, and it is terrifying. ...It's also kind of hilarious though. 

When your cat runs away, that is one of the most horrifying moments. Whether you have a GPS on it or not, seeing that your cat is not home will freak out out. But what happens if your cat's GPS tracker is is going off, showing you that your cat is zooming around the neighborhood, while your cat is... right in front of you? Well, 520-year-old Andy Kindell just experienced that.

His one-year-old cat for whom he bought a £130 collar with a GPS tracking chip, came home one day without the collar and with a nasty injury on its paw, reports Aol. Naturally, Andy was relieved, but he still wanted to find the GPS collar and get it back, so, he went on a chase. And a chase it was, because apparently, the collar was "eaten by a rat."

Read more of the story, including Andy's reaction, and check out some hilarious pictures below!

Another Friday comes and goes, and we are truly ready to take a break from this week and rest. We want to lie down, have some hot tea, cuddle our cats, and do absolutely nothing but enjoy our cat's  company - and the company of all of the cutest cats on twitter. Welcome to one of our favorite segments - this week's best cat tweets.

We know you want them, but you don't wanna look for them. Because you're resting, and scouring through the wasteland of twitter is hard. So, we collect these tweets for you - the cutest, most wholesome, funniest, weirdest and most viral. We are here to make sure that you start your weekend off on the right paw every single Friday.

It is time for this week's collection of the internet's favorite doggo memes.

Oh my god, it's been half the week already. We cannot believe that we made it.
