This is one of the cutest Twitter threads we've seen in a while! Cat beds that are actually being used by cats? What is this dark magic? 

As a cat owner, we know cats generally don't sleep in whatever bed you tend to buy for them but will spend countless hours inside an old cardboard box. Yet, for some reason, the cat bed from IKEA is changing things up! 

Twitter user @MaudFeijt recently created an adorable little bedroom for her two cats, complete with two beds from IKEA. She shared the photos on Twitter and the tweet soon went viral as others began sharing their IKEA beds for their pets. 

We have a theory, stick with us on this one. What if cats are so intelligent that a regular cat bed is an insult to them? What if the fact that the IKEA bed is a miniature version of our beds is the reason they like it so much? They see themselves as our equals and therefore deserve the same style bed as we have. But then again, the whole cardboard box thing sends this theory into the garbage. 

The people have spoken! They don't want much in life, all they want is Djungelskog. 

Djungelskog is a giant, jolly-belly stuffed bear found in IKEA. And people are in love. Which, we totally understand, who can resist that face? That teddy-bear size? Or that extreme fluffy belly that looks so perfect to sit against. 

Everything about Djungelskog screams love and comfort, so we get it. And we also now desperately want one...

Thank you to Twitter user @stargazeridiot for bringing this to our attention and starting this beautiful thread of tweets.

Perhaps you can recall the popular Blåhaj (Blaha), the shark plush, IKEA had been selling a year ago or so?

Well, IKEA discontinued the insanely popular plush. 

And it wasn't until a fan-made petition pushing for it's return -- that the Blåhaj plush was officially relaunched and back at IKEA! And with its return came the countless social media posts! There has even been separate Instagram accounts created for the popular shark plushy. 

The whole fun behind this plush, is going to IKEA and finding the hiding sharks in human-like situations. There's even a given map at the entrance on where you can find the sharks (and baby sharks).

After seeing these pics, we're eager to join the scavenger hunt! Look out, IKEA! We're coming! 

For the first time ever, IKEA has added an Aussie animal to their soft toy range and it is Awesome! 

One more great idea from furniture manufacturers, IKEA: few days ago they have launched its "Wildhomes for Wildlife" project, which asks local artists to create a series of animal homes, crafted from upcycled Ikea furniture. As part of the project, tables, lamps and chairs have been transformed into plush pads for blue tits, bats and bees. "Now," Ikea says, "all of our new neighbours can enjoy an amazing home. Even our furry, feathered and flying friends." Big like from us! Via: It's Nice That

Did you think only human have to deal with Ikea's taugh requirements? Well, apperantly animals too, as you can see from the following photos.   

One IKEA store is opening its doors to more than just shoppers looking for a bargain. In Catania, Italy, IKEA is allowing stray dogs to come inside so they can stay warm during the winter — and the internet is loving it.

The new IKEA's shark toy (with the strange name of Blahag) is going viral as people put it in various (and often funny) situations, snapping and sharing photos on Instagram. Scroll down to see the best examples for yourself.

IKEA has released 'LURVIG'—a collection of pet-friendly furniture that is likely to set tails wagging. 'LURVIG'—which means "hairy" in Swedish—is put together by pet-loving designers and supported by veterinarians. The series, which has been elaborately thought out, includes specialized houses, toys, and even beds. The collection has started making its way to stores in the US, Canada, France, as well as Japan.
