kitten

No matter what - you have to remind yourself - that no matter what, you love your cat more than anything in the world. Broken vase? That's fine. Ripped curtains? Not mad at all, it's completely fine. Dragged my sandwich under the bed and ate half of it? I wasn't even planning on eating that. No matter what. 

Cats being chaotic is something that we signed up for when we adopted one, and there's no escaping it. Cats simply are chaos. They're weirdos, and they do strange things, but who isn't? Honestly, we can all probably learn from them and at least accept our own chaos in the most chill way possible. 

Happy Friday, everyone! And welcome to our original weekly segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! Each week, we are so overwhelmed by all the beautiful stories and faces that have been recently adopted and this week is no different. 

We would like to start off by saying thank you. Thank you to those who have recently adopted a pet, thanks to those who have adopted in the past, and a thank you to those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You are the reason these beautiful animals have such wonderful lives. And, as always, a mega-huge-shout out to those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra care and love. You are our forever heroes, we couldn't thank you enough for providing these animals with a second chance. 

If you recently adopted a pet share an image with us in the comments below or send us a DM on Facebook to be featured on next week's list! You can also share your adoption of I Can Has Cheezburger's new Facebook community group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a place where everyone can share their newly adopted pet with the entire community! 

There aren't many things out there that put smiles on our faces as when we see a similarity between us and our parents. It's wholesome moments like realizing that your ears totally look like your dad's that remind us - oh yeah, we really are family. And with cat moms and dads... it's only cuter. 

A tweet went viral with two pictures of cat parents and their almost identical-looking baby kittens, and the internet's hearts have melted. Of course, a whole lot of other people also rushed to share pictures of their kittens and their cat families, and this is exactly the kind of wholesome content that we feel like we need today - purely positivity and another else. 

Sure, kittens are adorable and will forever always be adorable. However, their transition to being the beautiful adults they are now is something really special. They grow with love and that love shows. 

All of these pets had a beautiful glow up and it makes our hearts flutter at the sight of so many beauties! Get yourself ready for this feels trip because it'll for sure have you feeling something by the end of the ride! 

Come share your pet's stories with us on our new Facebook group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a heartfelt community for animal lovers! 

Usually, when we mention rescues, we talk about how humans rescue the animal, care for it and provide the animal with a loving, warm forever home. We rarely talk about the other rescue there is, how our pets, in turn, rescue us. The world seems a bit darker these days, it can't be helped, but thank goodness we have animals by our side to help take some of that darkness away. 

We don't know where we'd be without animals in our lives and don't even want to think about it. Cats (dogs, or any other pet) can rescue us too -- and they have, in so many ways. Pet owners out there will understand when we say, we may have rescued them but they rescue us back each and every day. 

This cat medley is for all the cats out there, thank you for being in our lives! 

If you have a story of your cat you'd like to share, check out our newest Facebook page, 'ICanHas Storytime,' our newest pet community for our users to finally share their pet stories! From heartwarming stories to silly shenanigans you caught your pets doing -- all are welcomed! 

Jody Fraser, whose love for animals is so big that she ended up having a mini farm right inside of her home, and two of the animals have - unexpectedly - become best friends. Her pig and her kitten are absolutely inseparable. 

Fraser lives just east of Calgary, after having moved to the countryside last year with her two cats, dog and turtle, as CBC reports, and since she had some more space, she decided to get some chickens as well. "So that was the beginning of my fascination with all of the animals," she told the Calgary Eyeopener. Around three months ago, Fraser added a pig to the collective. "He's just the nicest little crazy pig ever and very, very low maintenance," she said. "I've always just loved the pigs. So it's kind of funny how now I have my own." 

The animals living together under the same roof has inevitably brought them all closer, but two of them have become especially good buds." Wilbur the pot-bellied pig, who is now five-months-old, has become best buds with a new 12-week kitten named Billy," and they are too cute together.

"The two, just right from the beginning, became the best buddies ever. They just love each other. I'm not sure where it came from," Foster said. They sleep together and help clean each other. "The pig will clean the kitten, actually, and every once in a while you see the kitten actually cleaning the pig's ears. So it's kind of funny."

Their friendship has made Fraser rethink moving the pig out of the house. "I was only going to keep him in the house because he's still really little… but I was to put him outside in the spring," she said. "I'm hoping that I do decide to still do that, but he's become part of the family now, so I don't see him going outside." 

This little animal family keeps growing, and Foster is always interested in carefully expanding it even more. Follow Wilbur and Billy and their friendship on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok to see more of it. And for more wholesome animal friendships, read about this fox whose brother was run over befriending his human foster mom and two of her dogs. 

There's not a single more heartwarming thing that shows you how much your cat trusts you than when she brings you her babies. You get her, it's tiring to have and take care of babies. Momma cats need breaks just like any other mommas do. And while for them, it's a moment of reprieve, for you, it's a moment of the greatest honor, and you will make sure with everything that you have to not disappoint you baby while taking care of her babies. 

Our amazing ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared some of their stories of their baby momma cats trusting them with their baby kittens, making our hearts melt with joy, and yours will too. 

We love reading and showcasing your heartwarming and adorable animal stories any chance we get, so if you have a story of your own, come share it in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime!

When things are hard, we all go looking for something to calm us down, to help us relax and breathe. That's how a lot of you guys probably ended up here, simply looking for some wholesome, calming pictures, and well, you're definitely in the right place for that.

Thank you to imgur user ARussianAndHisBike for carefully collecting 50 pictures of kitties in the hopes of making everyone calmer. "I like to look at pictures of cats whenever I am feeling angry or frustrated or concerned about a global pandemic to calm myself down," the post says, and we can definitely attest that looking through these cat pics has helped us to take a step back, inhale deeply, and bask in the calmness. 

Whoever said cats are lazy, r/Catswithjobs is coming at you to prove you really really wrong. Cats are not laaaaazy, they're just... picky about the jobs they choose. Really, we should all follow by example and only take the jobs that speak to our hearts. Cats are role models - the pick jobs they love and hardly do any work in them. It's a purrfect arrangement.

And they look hella cute doing their very, very impurrtant jobs. So, enjoy this latest collection of hard working kitties, and while you're at it, after you're done saying thank you to these cats, go say thank you to some hard working doggos as well. 

Ah, cats and their adorable anatomy. We're madly obsessed with each and every part of a cat, from the toe beans to their kankles, to their forbidden belly floofs, and all the way up to the tip of their ears. 

Cats are magical creatures that are perfect in every way, even those that may not seem perfect at first glance are still perfect. This gallery is another appreciation post for all the felines out there and their scrumptious toe beans! 

It's time for a big change in Earnie's life - a new sibling, a new baby, someone to love and mentor... right after hissing at it the customary two hundred and twenty seven times. Don't question it. That's the only responsible way to accept a new kitten into your home.
