Just cats being cats!

We searched through the most liked cat pictures on the subreddit r/cats, this past week or so, and we decided to share them all with you!

The pictures all have one thing in common, and that is, of course, cats. However, that's where the similarities end. 

There are images of happy reunions with lost ones, hilarious cats being hilarious and of course, adorable-ness (naturally). Oh, and there's some magical moments of love sprinkled in as well. 

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 the beautiful blind angels, Cassandra and Omero! 

Even though Cassy and Omer are both white and orange cats, they are actually not related. Cassy was born in 2017 and Omer in 2018.

You might be asking how do they manage around the house both being blind? In a Q&A on their Instagram page, Cassy and Omer's owner explained that they use their sense of smell to navigate and have no problems to adapting to the layout of the house (even if she moves furniture around!).

Pretty impressive! What's even more impressive is their overwhelming love they have for their human. Check out these sweet pics and vids! And follow the adorable duo on Instagram! 

Artist behind @okbluecomics, adorable and wholesome webcomics all draw in blue, recently shared a more personal comic featuring his dog, Korbin.

He shared the story about how Korbin's knee came to be injured on Imgur, "About a year ago my dog, Korbin, was running to the house from the back yard, when he got to the deck he made a strange yelp and started limping. After going to the vet, we were given some medication and sent on our way. We brought it up again but the resolution was trying to keep him from playing with his sibling and lowering activity...didn't help the limp. 

Fast forward to this year during his physical, we were told that he had bad arthritis and he would need TCL surgery (surgery on the knee). He had torn his MCL and CCL (dog equivalent of ACL) and also had bad arthritis. The vet said "If we had gotten to it sooner, we could have prevented the arthritis...?

Luckily, the surgery went great and when he got home we decided to give him a stuff avocado toy he loves to play with and his jammies to snuggle in. He's doing well now and he finally gets his cone off on Thursday! Still a bit to go towards healing, but he's doing great and responding well to the at-home therapy! 

Note: The jammies helped keeping my other 3 dogs from licking his leg, he doesn't wear them all the time, but he will try to get his head into them if they are out.  Picture was right after anesthesia, so he looks kind of loopy"

These pictures of animals offering humans their silent support is so heartwarming and beautiful!

It's hard to describe the joy and love our pets bring into our lives but this list does a good job of showing what animal love is like. 

Nothing more beautiful than love. 

We've said it before and we'll say it again! There's no love like a mother's love! 

Happy Mother's Day to all those terrific moms out there! You truly deserve some recognize this Mother's Day (maybe more than ever, for those of you who have been homeschooling these past few months). 

We appreciate you. 

And to celebrate the beauty that is mothers we have collected some loving family pictures -- animals, of course! Enjoy and have a wonderful day! 

We know when you hear the words, "good boy/girl" you think of doggos. But we're here to change that perspective. 

Dogs, as wonderful as they are, aren't the only good boys and girls in the domestic pet world and we've got the proof! 

Cats. As crazy as they are sometimes, and sometimes just straight up jerks, cats can also hold tight onto that good boy/girl title. 

Here are our honorable 21 good cats that deserve recognition! If you've got a good boy/girl at home we want to see them and hear their story in the comments below! 

There's something quite special about the bond between animals, and we can argue that the bond between cats is especially special. 

Simply because a cats affection isn't usually won over quickly. It takes time to earn their trust and their love but once you do -- you still can't count on that! It's an ongoing process, but in the end... the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Kittens are adorable, that is a fact. You know what's another known fact? Teddy bears are adorable. 

Now, imagine a kitten with teddy bear features... that's pretty much too cute for the heart to handle! 

Meet Quill, the chocolate teddy bear kitten who is about to steal your heart and never return it. 

Quill is brand new to Instagram and you can follow her journey!

There's nothing quite like love. And love from animals just makes it even sweeter, it's a connection that goes beyond species.

It's hard to explain but you know it when you see it and you definitely know it when you feel it! We love our furry and non-furry friends and love the love the share amongst themselves and every so often.. with us. 

Ready to smile? Each week we are featuring the newly adopted pets of the week! Is there a lovelier sight than an animal being adopted?! We wholeheartedly thank those who have adopted, providing animals with a loving, comfortable and warm home. There's literally nothing better. 

We're seeing a lot of new furry faces being adopted due to the new regulations, and while we absolutely adore seeing so many adopted faces, please remember that a pet is for life. The decision to adopt one is one that should be thought through thoroughly.  

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop. 

If you recently adopted a pet, shoot us an email to be featured in next weeks list!
