Happy Friday, animal lovers! And it is indeed a happy Friday because of all these beautiful recently adopted faces! Our hearts are simply bursting at the sight of all these beauties in their forever homes! 

Welcome back to our weekly original segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! Each week, we gather up all the adopted faces we come across and feature them all here for you. Not only is it inspiring and super wholesome, but it's also uplifting as well. It just makes us happier. 

As always, we would like to thank all those who have recently adopted a pet, to thank all those who have adopted a pet in the past, and to pre-thank all those who will be adopting in the future. Thank you so much for giving all these animals a life full of love. And a huge-ultra-mega shout out to all those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra love and care. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. Rescue animals know they're being rescued and they are beyond grateful and show that gratefulness with so much affection. 

Everyone, meet JellyBean - the cutest, fiercest, most adorable and endlessly affectionate kitten. It's the kind of magical kitten that everyone wants, purring instantly, showing off the floofy belly on the very first car ride home. Not many kittens are this trusting on the very first day, a lot of times it takes a while to build that kind of trust with them. I know that's how it was with my cat.

But not with JellyBean. JellyBean instantly knew that the humans who took her are the best humans in the world and that this is now her forever home, and these humans are hers. She was friendly even with the doggos, and she - like every other adopted kitten - brought joy to a home that was very much in need of it. 

The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee has returned and has returned with more itty-bittiness than ever before! Nothing quite fills the soul with all those aww's and warm feelings like a patch of insanely small kittens! Seriously, how are they so small? Each time we think about it, our brains cannot comprehend just how tiny and just how adorable. 

IFor cat owners, it's crazy to think that at one point, your cat was once this small (even though it always short-lived) and they can grow into some hefty chonkers! But all kittens are born tiny and were just here to look at them and remember our babies were once so tiny. 

For all those out there who think cats are cold, you're about to be proven wrong. Cats love their humans incredibly hard. It just takes a bit longer with some of them to build the trust necessary for that kind of strong love. But once you get there, once that bond is in place, no love will be stronger than your cat's love for you. 

Cuddles, kisses, rubbing up against your legs, mashing their forehead against yours, you'll get it all. You just have to earn it, prove to them that you're worthy of their love. Learn to give them space when they need it and the exact places that they don't like to be touched. It might take some time, but it will be worth it.

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to  -- Munchkin Hinako, the real-life puss in boots! 

Here's an adorable little cat who goes by the name Hinako! Hinako is roughly 7 months old and is a munchkin breed, with a mix of Scottish fold. An adorable fluff of an orange cat who has short legs and folded ears, oh, and the biggest eyes that pierce into your soul. Hinako has mastered the art of the classic "Puss in Boots" doe-eyed look and we have a suspicion that Hinako was simply born with the talent. 

Trust us, after you get a glimpse of this face, your heart will be stolen with no intention of returning. Follow Munchkin Hinako for more insanely adorable moments! You can also follow Hinako and his owner's other pets (such as ferrets) on YouTube! 

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Aloş, the gorgeous, yet derpy cat!

Sweet, humble, borscht-making babushkas at their very best! Oh, wait, did we say babushkas? We meant to says babushkats. They are very much like babushkas the only difference is that they are different species. But everything else, the cooking, the look, especially the look, and their dreams of the war and winter coming to an end. 

Babushkats are just like us, they want the same things out of life, they just do it with a stylish headwrap. The Reddit community, r/Babushkats, is a page dedicated to cats dressed as babushkas and it's one of our favorite things in this world. It may be cold but winter is nearly over so we must honor the babushkats while we still can! 

It is time to, yet again, show our fealty to the most supreme regime of all - cats. We worship them in all the ways we can, bringing them food, giving them water, cleaning their poops, and petting them only the correct amount at the correct times. All of this, we do for the slightest hint of affection - a head boop, possibly a few seconds of purr. And oh boy, it is worth it. 

Right now, we shall worship them further through the most advanced way of all - laughing at cat memes. You must laugh, whether you think it's funny or not, you must, for your cat's sake. And purrhaps you will be blessed with a your king or queen coming to sit in your general vicinity today. 

House cats sure do have a taxing lifestyle. I mean, they get to sleep all day, food is always prepared for them, they're constantly being showered with attention and affection. They wreak havoc in the middle hours of the night and don't get reprimanded for it. Ah, yes, the life of a house cat seems exhausting indeed. 

We think that's why one TikTok account decided to treat their little hard-working felines and treat them with a much-deserved spa day. TikTok account, @dontstopmeowing, has gone viral due to their wholesomely adorable and silly cat videos and you're about to see why! You can follow them on TikTok or on Instagram for more pampering spa days ahead! 

The progress of these spa days just gets more and more hilarious as the videos go on. 

Thatsaphon Saii, a twenty-three-year-old Thai sailor, still wearing his pants, jumped into the water and swam toward the wreckage of a burning ship to rescue 4 kittens that were stuck on board. All of the 8 crew members who were on the ship have, thankfully, already escaped the fire and were saved by a shipping boat that was sailing past them, but 4 terrified kittens were left on the ship, clinging to a finishing crane as flames roared all around them.

According to Metro, the moment Thatsaphon realized they were there, he, without hesitation, plunged into the water and swam toward them, grabbing the three kittens - placing three into an old rice sack and the fourth right onto his shoulder. Then, he paddled back to the navy vessel and somehow managed to save kittens without a single one of them being hurt. The ship was left to burn and sink in the ocean.

Read Thatsaphon's comments about the incident and check out pictures below!

Cats are the best. Every cat owner knows that. They can be jerks sometimes, that's true. When they suddenly start running full speed at 3am, knocking everything in their path, they do scare the life out of yes. And yes, may a curtain have suffered the wrath of our cat's claws, but... and the but is important, every moment of cat madness is worth the love that you feel when they cuddle next to you.

And today, twitter is on the defense, justly defending our little felines to all those who don't understand why cats are awesome. And they really are, it just takes some effort to get to know each of them before their unique and amazing personalities shine through. Also, look at the belly floof and the tiny paws omggg.

Happy Friday, fellow animal lovers! Fridays are already special because the weekend has finally arrived but here at 'I Can Has Cheezburger,' it's also special because of our weekly original segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! 

Each week, we gather up all the recently adopted pets and compile them here for one mega-dose of wholesomeness and uplifting news. And each week, it brings the feels. We would like to thank all those who have recently adopted, all those who have adopted a pet in the past, and all of those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You all are changing these animals' lives for the better, so, thank you. And a huge shoutout to those who animal a senior pet or a pet who requires a tad more tender love and care. You are our forever heroes. 

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. Rescue animals know they're being rescued and it's the love they can provide is immeasurable. 

What is the one thing that your cat does that never fails to mildly annoy you? Only first thing that comes to your head, because we can think of about twenty seven things that our cats do to annoy us in about thirty seconds. We love them, yes, it's true. We would do anything for them to make them happy, but my goodness, they are such little demons sometimes.

There are things that they do that annoy us that we feel absolutely have to be intentional. There is no way that they are not. There are only so many times that my cat will come sit on my face in the middle of the night and I wake up to scold it until I start thinking that the little hellion is doing it on purpose.
