Gooood morning, lovely readers! And welcome to the very first I Can Has Cheezburger animal meme collection of 2021! We made it through 2020 but we couldn't have made it if it weren't for all of you. Thank you all! 

This week, we dug extra hard to uncover some fresh animal memes that should delight you! Nothing like waking up, with your hot coffee in tow, and checking out the newest and hottest memes of the week! Especially if those memes include animals like ours do! 

We hope you all enjoy this early morning treat and we wish you all a wonderful New Year! 

Animal gifs are a gift, the short snippets of wholesome animals doing their wholesome things just lift our spirits immeasurably! 

There is just something about animals that fills our souls with glee and warmth, and when we get to see them in a video or gif that really amplifies their overall cuteness and wholesomeness! 

2020 is officially over and we need to start the year off right with all the wholesomeness we can get our hands on, and yes, that includes the treasure trove of animal gif goodness! There's honestly nothing quite like animals for that pick-me-up, they just seem to hit you right where you need it most -- in the feels. 

We wish you all a wonderful animal-filled and wholesome New Year! 

Welcome back to Koty Vezde's cat universe! You may be familiar with this artist's unique style... to photoshop a cat's head onto any and every animal imaginable. 

Koty Vezde is what the people need and what the people deserve! We cannot get enough of seeing what different animals would look like if they had a cat's head. Most of the time, it turns each animal into something really heckin' cute. And other times.... just kidding, there are no other times -- every animal with a cat's head is really heckin' cute! Don't believe it would be? Take a gander below and report back to us with an apology.

Welcome to the very first day of this new year! You have officially survived 2020. Not only that, but you have found yourself in the purrfect place to start the new year - the best cat tweets of the week. Because really, is there any better way to start a new year than with cat tweets? We don't think so. And after checking out this week's tweets, you won't think so either. 

Cats are our everything. They've been with us through the difficulties of 2020 and will continue to be with us through 2021. So, being as thankful as we are to them, every single week, we celebrate our kitties by collecting the best tweets about them. And we promise we will continue to do so. 

Earnie's ultimate weakness turns out to come in the form of strange little leaves that are sometimes left out for him, and he... hates them but also loves them. 

Meowmoirs: Is the loss of control worth it for the powers catnip gives Earnie?

Read about Earnie's adventures with catnip, the thoughts he has while uncontrollably flipping around in the little leaves, and the most impulsive dive Earnie has ever taken.

Birds are an interesting species, there are about 400 billion birds on the planet. That's right, if they wanted, they could attack us, win, and take over the world. And who knows, maybe that is their plan. If you dive into that thought a bit deeper, with 5 billion people on the planet, this would amount to 40 to 60 birds per bird. So, yeah, they would definitely win. And one type of bird, the Jacana bird, may just freak out a majority of those people with its terrifying spider/bird hybrid legs, but the truth is way cuter than anyone would expect. 

When an Imgur user discovered the truth behind these seemingly freaky birds, they decided to share their knowledge with the world, and we are grateful.

This entertaining and thought-provoking commentary by Imgur user yourfriendlyneighbourhoodtzimisce:

HAPPY NEW YEAR, CAT LOVERS! We made it! It somehow made it through the chaos of 2020 and now we're here in 2021. True, we have no idea what this new year holds in store for us but we are optimistic! Plus, for a New Year to start on a Friday? That has to be some sort of good luck sign, no?

Let's ring in the New Year with our user's original cat memes -- Lolcats! Lolcats is the world's largest cat meme gallery to date! And thanks to our amazing users who constantly contribute to creating me, we will be swimming in cat memes forever! Thank you, everyone, lolcats wouldn't exist without you!

No dog is ever too big to be a lapdog. None. Why? Because even if your doggo is the biggest doggo in the whole wide world, if it wants to be held in your arms and given all your love, you will allow it, you know you will, because you'll do anything for your good boy or good girl - including being crushed by them. 

The bigger the dog, the more love to give, right? And they know how to give that love right back to their human. Of course, when our enormous doggos get into our lap, all we feel is love and joy and a slight inability to inhale properly, but when they get onto other people's laps and crush them until they can barely breath, it really is just quite funny. 

This is it, you guys, 2020 is finally over! It's been a long and ruff year, but we made it here, and just for that, it's time to celebrate. This time, we're bringing you the best of the best of this year's dog memes. Because if there's one thing that was a constant good about 2020, it's our dogs, and so we feel that it's only right to say thank you to them - in the form of memes of course. 

We hope you enjoy this collection of the best boys and the best girls, and we hope that this year will be barktastic for everyone. So, give your dog a kiss on the head, say thank you to them, settle in for another 2020 meme recap, and laugh about one of the most challenging years we've had. 

The end of 2020 is upon us! We made it through this mess of a year somehow, and we like to think cats played a large part in that. Throughout 2020, the one comfort many folks had were their beloved pets and we oughta thank them for their endless love and unselfishness. 

We thank all the animals out there but will show that love and appreciation through one of our favorite segments... cat snaps! The last cat snaps of 2020! Don't worry, there will be more delicious and nutritious cat snaps to harvest in the New Year, but the time has come to bid 2020 farewell and we're so excited about that. 

Take in these cat snaps and let the excitement roll over you! 

It's the middle of the week, during the week where time doesn't seem to exist - those new days between Christmas and New Year's. If you think about it, we just have two more days to get through before we can officially rid this year goodbye. That alone is a reason to celebrate this year, even if we are celebrating without our friends and family near, we should still celebrate the end of one of the worst years in the history of our generation. 

And what better way to prepare for that celebration than with a hearty collection of mid-week memes and tweets? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical. We hope you're feeling the excitement bubbling and if not, maybe you'll feel different after taking in these funny animal memes. 

We can do this everyone, just two more days to go! 

Wildlife photos are always something that we appreciate. Whether professional or taken by amateurs like us, being able to get a glimpse into the real life of an animal is amazing. Sometimes though, you might capture a picture of an animal in its natural environment that's less fascinating and more... hilarious instead.

Absolutely hilarious in its perfect timing, the pictures you're about to see will show you the true life of animals in the wild. The conclusion? In moments when they're not posing and being totally majestic, animals are as derpy and silly as any of us. And we love them all the more for 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 China, the kleptomaniac cat who loves to steal just about anything and everything!

China has been making headlines for her thief-like abilities as her owner records the "gifts" China returns home with on the popular video platform TikTok. The gifts range from socks to a firework, and no, we are not joking. The videos, naturally, have since gone viral. Who wouldn't love a cat burglar, after all? China's owner decided to place video cameras around so catch China in the act, and the videos below hold just about everything you need/want to see. 

We're huge fans of this feline and wish China all the best in her future robberies! China's Instagram is up-and-coming and we know it won't be long until China reaches Instagram stardom! Follow China on Instagram to see what new random things China steals! And check out China and friends on TikTok.
