Times may be ruff but there's nothing like some doggo love that'll help us push through it. Dogs are incredibly spirits, always full of love and light. The sad truth of it is that they are too perfect for the likes of us. 

They are quite literally angels on Earth and without them, we'd be in an even darker world than now. Let's give it up for these angels of fluff and honor them with some eternal love in the form of snaps. Doggo snaps are here to save us from today, tomorrow, and whatever hardships come our way. 

If you need even more doggo goodness, you're barking up the right tree. 

Gooooood morning, lovely readers! We hope you had a pawesome cat-filled Caturday and now resting up with some of our weekly fresh animal memes! 

Week by week, we bring you the top animal memes found all over the web! Memes, tweets, Tumblr posts, and a sprinkle of animal videos! It's the purrfect animal medley for a guaranteed wonderful day! And we know the new week is coming up way sooner than anyone would like but let's not focus on that right now and just enjoy all this animal goodness! 

Sounds like the purrfect selfies! Only a cat can look this cute in dozens of unknown selfies from a lower angle.

A woman from China noticed her tablet was covered in the white fur of her 7-month-old cat, nicknamed Er Niu. When she opened up the tablet, she discovered that Er Niu had taken dozens of selfie pictures. And the best part? When Er Niu's owner is scrolling through the collection of purrfect selfies, you can tell the selfies really captured the adorable expressions of Er Niu.

The video of the selfies was uploaded to China's equivalent of Tik Tok called Douyin, where it went viral.

They're kind of all amazing, in their own crappy, adorable way. 

Meet Hercule Van Wolfwinkle, the acclaimed pet portrait artist, who has come up with a creative and fun way to help raise money for the charity Turning Tides Ending Local Homelessness, a homelessness charity local to Hercule. The charity is described in the fundraising site as, " local charity that believe everyone has the right to a home, regardless of the difficulties and issues they may face in their lives. They believe in showing those who need their help, that the wider community are there to support them too!"

The acclaimed artist seems to be in demand, the fundraising project already 577% more than the target. And with the donations comes the beautiful, and highly realistic pet portraits. Also explained within the fundraising project, Hercule has two styles when it comes to his masterpiece creations, "one super realistic full colour which is just like looking at a photograph or alternatively the more contemporary black and white portrait that will grace any home."

Check out some of these museum-worthy drawings and start donating to obtain your one original Hercule Van Wolfwinkle! 

Perfectly timed pictures... one of pet owners' most highly valued achievements. They're the best pictures to show off to your friends, they make for incredible memes, and honestly, they're the pictures that we, owners, love looking at the most because they're just really unique. The pictures in this collection are really unique too.

Cats laughing. Some of these pictures must have been taken mid-yawn, some mid particularly intense meows. We can't be sure. But we are sure that these pictures are perfectly timed, hilarious, and some of our faves. These cats and kittens just look so happy, and seeing cats happy makes all of us happy. And we hope that these pictures will bring you some happiness too.

We tend to share the wholesome and adorable side to animals, yet, every so often we like to share their other side... the evil side. 

Sometimes, animals can be jerks and do jerky things. Whether they do those jerky things to us humans or other animals, it's always hilarious. It's so hilarious that animals being jerks is one of the top subreddits to date! There's just something about animals being mean that will never not be funny. Probably because they're so stinky cute, the idea of them angry and mean is simply a joy. 

Happy International Rabbit Day! Usually celebrated on the last Saturday or Sunday of September, International Rabbit Day is about celebrating rabbits in all their cuteness, and celebrating all the joy they provide for this world! And, of course, to educate people on the protection and care of both domestic and wild rabbits. 

Did you know that there are more than 30 species of rabbits around the world? Oh, you did? Then how about this odd fact, baby rabbits aren't called bunnies, they're actually called kittens of kits! How strange is that? 

For those who need a low maintenance pet, rabbits are wonderful. They're even more independent than cats, don't make too much noise, easy to housetrain, and can bond well with their humans. 

This one goes out to all you buns lovers out there!  Hop right into this rabbit-loving gallery: 

Welcome back, cat lovers! We've gathered a nice juicy collection of the hottest and freshest cat memes for you to devour this Caturday! 

Caturday is a sacred day in which we celebrate by honoring all things cats. We begin the day with cat memes, then we move into our 19-hour nap, from which we will wake up periodically for nibbles of food, then be wide awake the moment the humans settle in for bed. 

That's when the party really starts. However, cat memes always lead the way into Caturday madness and it's a vital step in the process of celebrating the ritual in its fullness. Enjoy your Caturday to the fullest! 

We love German Shepherds! They are majestic yet goofy at the same time. Which is really the most adorable combo there is! Not only are they loyal and trustworthy, but they've got those big floppy ears that they hardly grow into. 

They are also one of the most intelligent dog breeds around! These noble animals are simply one of the best and we need to paws and appreciate their beauty and silliness. 

If you feel the need to further your appreciation for doggos, we also have a wonderful gallery of huskies that deserve attention. 

Do you ever catch your cat staring at you from behind a door or a corner in the hallway and think "if I weren't feeding it, it probably would eat me"? Yeah... we do too. They can just be so intimidating sometimes with all their endless staring, infinite patience, the crouching, the irises widening, ready to strike, just like their big cat relatives would do in the wild, the way they try their best to catch a fly and totally miss. 

Okay, maybe not that last one. Because we know, in our hearts, that cats are nothing but fluffy fluff balls who need you to feed them, clean their poop, and pet them. They need us and love us and are (almost) always soft with us. But that look in their eyes that they get that makes you think you need to pay them their money or they'll bite you makes them some of the funniest material for gangster cat memes. 

Ah, sweet Friday bliss! Fridays are even better than Saturdays, in our opinion. You have the built-up excitement of this freedom you're about to acquire, it's exciting, it fills us up with happiness and endless possibilities! And once Saturday arrives, you're still happy but that dreading doom of Monday begins to lurk and we can't help but feel it's presence. 

But enough about that. It's Friday and we need to celebrate the best way we know how -- our user's original cat memes! Lolcats is the ultimate source for original, new cat memes and it's never-ending. Shout out to all our amazing users who have created these hilarious and adorable memes! You guys get us through the week! 

If you've got a cat meme you're looking to create, check out our meme builder! Your meme can be featured on our weekly list! 

Chirp up, everyone! We know, it's the start of a new week, and that's always extremely difficult to acknowledge and accept. However, with this abundance of birb memes, we believe your inner spirit will take flight and will be rejuvenated with birby meme goodness. 

Birb memes have definitely come a long way over the past years and have somehow climbed the animal meme list status. We would say that birb memes comfortably sit right on top besides cat and dog memes. You may feel otherwise but first, take a gander of the humorous memes and tweets below before making up your mind. 

Let's see those Bengal fur babies! While it's no secret that we adore all cats, every so often we like to celebrate a certain breed and dedicate a whole gallery to that breed. We've dedicated galleries to tuxedo cats, calico cats, siamese, and more. This time, the Bengal cat is our star and we're all here to admire their shine and beauty! 

Do you know how we always say black cats are house panthers? Well, Bengal cats are house leopard. Seriously, they are domestic cats with the coat of a wild cat. And they were bred to be that way. And just like leopards, they have an insane amount of energy, which results in them needed a lot of exercise and play. 

Bengal cats are everywhere these days, and we can't help but paws and admire their obvious beauty. Here is a collection of pics, memes, and some vids to help us honor them! If you have a Bengal, share a pic in the comments below! 

It's officially Autumn and the cat snaps have been growing so splendidly all year for the big harvest! We've been watering them, nourishing them, and even speaking to them in a calming, and loving voice. 

Basically, we've been doing all things one does to help things grow until they're ripe for the plucking. And now the moment has come and we're preparing for a major cat snap feast. So, grab a plate and wait in line, we promise you're in for a delicious treat! 

And if you missed last week's scrumptious treats, you're in luck! We've got leftovers! 

It's picture time! Everyone smile wide! Yeah, I'm talking about you too, giraffe, time to take a selfie. And time for us to look at these adorable selfies and smile too.

We're constantly surprised by stories of how smart animals are, how much they can understand, how much they... judge some of the weird things us humans do. We've seen everything at this point, from dolphins recognizing their own reflections to monkeys laughing at magic tricks. So, it's true, we assume that these selfies weren't actually taken by the animals that star in them, but... can we really be sure of that?

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 Tika the iggy! 

You've probably have seen Tika around before, she is a fashion icon and the most fabulous meme potential. Tika is an Italian Greyhound who lives with her owners in Montréal, Canada. According to her Instagram (which has a whooping following of 213k) she the "Kween of Derp" and a gay icon! 

Tika is a huge influencer, looking as if she just stepped off the cover of Dogue, you can't help but admire this 'Kween''s sense of style and overall look of derpiness.  

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Princess Aurora!
