kitten

Have you ever heard of the Vampire Cat? It's an elusive, terrifying creature of fluff that comes out only during the month of Halloween. It's the spookiest vampire of all. It jumps and flies, it bites and hisses, and while it is terrifying, it is also a cat. 

Vampire cats may be scary, but they are still as cuddly and wholesome as any other cat. One must not hesitate when they meet a cat with adorable toofs that peek out like fangs. Adopt them, love them, pet them. Even vampires need love. At least the ones of the cat variety. Especially now, during the month of Halloween, go give the vampire cats and black cats and all other underappreciated animals the love that they deserve to get. 

Order! Order in the court! The itty bitty kitty committee is in now section! The first topic, itty bitty kitty with itty bitty pancakes!

We adore itty bitty kitties and especially when they eat itty bitty things -- such as itty bitty pancakes! We've seen users prepare tiny pancakes for their kittens in the past, but it's always nice to see some new faces enjoying tiny meals! And by new faces, we're talking about this adorable fluffy kitten below! An adorable fluffy kitten who has tiny fluffy pancakes placed right in front of her. 

According to her owner, Imgur user ARussianAndHisBike, "She had a long and tough day so she gets her favorite pancakes." How incredibly sweet is that? What a lovely treat for a lovely girl. 

Thank you for sharing these photos with the internet, ARussianAndHisBike, it's just the kind of content the world needs right now. 

Sweet wholesome goodness! There's nothing like it! It's definitely our favorite way to start off a new week, and we hope it's your favorite way too! When it comes to animal memes, they're always a delight. Whether it's our Caturday memes, or lolcats, or itty bitty crab memes. Memes have a way of bringing us happiness, and we all know, animals have always brought happiness into our lives. So the combination of the two truly makes something magical. 

And then you sprinkle on the wholesomeness and it takes it to new heights. As if animal memes weren't good enough, they just somehow get even better with wholesomeness added to the mix. Each week, we prepare for you the ultimate wholesome list to go along with your hot cup of coffee, and each week it's nothing but happiness galore. 

We wish you all a wholesome week! 

Sweet love is in the air! And no, we don't mean Valentine's Day, we're talking about just how utterly adorable and lovely these viral cat videos are! Seriously, this week's videos may just take home first place 'wholesomeness and awwdorable' video trophy! 

Each week, we venture through Instagram and find the best cat videos we can find. We look for amazingness, cuteness (which all cat videos have automatically), funniness, and of course, that special something that makes you smile all big and goof and go "awwww."

We believe we accomplished just that with this week's round-up of vids. Don't believe us? Check them out for yourselves! 

Is there anything better than a cat? A mini version of that cat of course. Adorable tiny copycats, learning how to cat from their older copies. 

An explosion of adorableness like you've never seen before. So much smallness. So much cuteness. It's impossible not to smile at these pictures, and we really want to give you something that'll bring you some joy before the week starts. Something that'll give you a boost of wholesomeness and energy that'll allow you to start the week more easily. So, take these pics as a purrsonal gift from us, enjoy them, have a wonderful week, and may the cat gods bless you with a cat headbutting your hand this week. 

There's absolutely nothing that makes us happier than happy cats. Knowing that they're content in their environment, that they're in good hands and enjoying life is the best thing in the world. We just want all cats to be happy, that doesn't feel like too much to ask for. 

Chin rubs are one of those moments that lets us know our cats are truly happy. They don't let just anyone rub their vulnerable adorable chins. That blissed out expression on their faces is the most wholesome thing in the world, and we all need some wholesomeness in our lives right now. So, we collected some pictures of blissed out cats getting chin rubs in the hopes of bringing some smiles and happiness into your weekend. 

Okay, so we know cats are adorable. They just are, in every situation. But sometimes, the cute is so overwhelming we have to cover our faces with our hands and shield out eyes from it. It's too much, one more look and the butterflies will burst right out of our stomach.

They don't even know how cute they're being when they're doing it, that special moment when they're sleeping, you gently touch them, and they just squeezeeeee their tiny widdle faces. All instincts tell us to give them a big ol' kiss in that moment, but we can't. We must not interrupt them when they're doing the squeeze-face thing. It's too precious to ruin. 

The only thing better than Friday is a Friday with our weekly segment of adopted faces! This week, we have tons of newly adopted faces, each one of them absolutely beautiful! We can't help but feel a bit emotional whenever we come across a newly adopted face, we're just so happy for the pet AND the human who has adopted them. 

A big heartfelt thank you to those who recently adopted, have adopted in the past, and will adopt in the future -- we love you guys. And of course, an ultra-mega shout out to those who adopt senior pets or pets that require more attention and care, you guys are absolute heroes. 

We're suer these beautiful faces below will fill your heart with emotions but if you're in the mood for even more emotions, be sure to check out last week's adopted faces! 

Another week is coming to an end, and we're all looking for some positivity to start our weekend with. We want something to relax us, something to make us laugh, and something to make us smile. Don't worry, cat twitter has got just what you need. 

Week by week, we bring you the best that cat twitter has to offer to make sure that your weekend starts on a purrfect note. Cats of twitter have it all - the cute, the funny, and the heartwarming. But who has the energy at the end of the week to go searching for all of the best cat content on their own? Maybe after a long week, you don't, but we do. So, while cat twitter has the cats covered, we've got the tweets covered right here. 

Do you feel that? That feeling you get when it's Friday and you know you get to sleep in tomorrow? Ah, it's such a delicious feeling and we know that you know what we're talking about. It's a feeling that just feels so good and it's a universal feeling -- everyone loves Fridays. 

We love Fridays, not only because of that delicious feeling but because it's our lovely user's chance to shine with Lolcats! Lolcats is the ultimate source when it comes to cat memes! And new cat memes are being added and created on the daily! 

Each Friday, we gather up the most upvoted 25 memes and feature them here for all to see. If you want to join in on the fun, check out our meme builder and meme away! 

It's snuggle time. Yes, we said it. It's the middle of the week, and you may be risking getting sleepier and awwing so much it tires you out completely, but it's time for some wholesome snuggles with the most wholesome cat purritos. 

These adorable kitties will make your heart surge with joy just like they do to us. There's no way to avoid it. It's a whole explosion of cuddly cuteness. Makes us want to get under a blanket and snuggle with them, just to feel that relaxation take over us as well. Use these pics as an example and take a breather, treat yourself to some cat snuggles and relaxing tea, and may the second half of your week be snugglier and warmer than the first. 

Cats are an important part of our lives. Think about it, they bring us peace, comfort, happiness, and while it may not always be happiness they bring, we are forever grateful for having them in our lives.

And cats may not be in our lives for as long as we wish but they leave such an impact on us. There's nothing more difficult than losing a loved one and that pain doesn't go away. You simply learn to live with it over time. 

This week, unfortunately, quite a few beauties crossed over the rainbow bridge and we'd like to honor them and keep them alive by featuring their beautiful faces here. To those who have recently lost a pet, we send our hearts to you.

This cat medley is not all sad, however, there are moments in here filled with hope, glow ups, and all of them are filled with love. 

Curious cat mode is probably one of the most entertaining modes that cats have. It leads to the most ridiculous and hilarious cat situations ever. It never ceases to amaze us just what cats will do for the sake of satiating their curiosity.

Sometimes, their curiosity leads to them making a mess and doing things that they really shouldn't be, but other times, it leads to some adorable cats sniffing your camera right when you're about to snap a picture. Don't fret though. That picture is not a lost one. As proven by this insanely popular twitter thread by @dilucwrld, pictures of cats getting up close and purrsonal with our cameras are incredibly valuable. 

It's Halloween month, and everyone is getting festive. That includes out cats and kittens, of course. And what better way is there for them to get ready for Halloween than to get into that new orange house that you worked so hard making for them? Oh, it's not for them, you say? Pttt. Of course it is. 

Halloween is the time of year when some animals reeeally get to thrive. You got your black cats finally getting the time in the spotlight that they deserve. Suddenly, people are aware of how adorable tiny bats can be. It's a beautiful time, and these are beautiful kittens, and we are so excited for this year's Halloween!

Awwwee! We love happy endings! 

This gorgeous gray kitten was all alone in the woods when just by chance, decided to bolt out into the road. It just so happened that Brittany, a volunteer of Sparkle Cat Rescue was driving by and noticed something bolt from the trees and flash across the road. 

Brittany told LoveMeow, "I was certain it was a squirrel at first but after I passed it, I saw in my mirror that it ran to a tree and stopped. I turned around immediately to go check it out."

Think of the last time that you were so relaxed you just... let all of your muscles loosen and laid down in absolutely whichever position you've found yourself in. Maybe you were starfished on your back, maybe you were flat on your face, maybe you put your arm over your head in just the right position and didn't care if it was going to fall asleep because of it. Ladies and gentleman, that means that you, too, have experienced The Sploot. 

Animals are the sploot connoisseurs. Dogs have mastered it, and now, cats must show their skills as well. The following pictures are ones to learn from. Doesn't matter that the week has just started, you have to learn to remember to relax and do the sploot every once in a while, just like these very talented cats.
