meeting

Is there anything cuter in the world than an itty bitty newborn baby fox? Yes, there is. Two adorable baby foxes meeting each other for the first time and tripping over themselves with excitement. 

Both of these foxes have been orphaned, but thankfully, they have found themselves in good hands. The people taking care of them wanted nothing more than for these foxes to find friendship within the company of other foxes. And so, they found the first rescued fox cub a friend, and the excitement of their first meeting was so overwhelming, it melted our whole hearts. 

We all know that dogs are the best animals ever, right? Dogs are so loving, they're excited about the smallest things, no matter how big a dog is, it knows how to be gentle. Dogs always put everyone's comfort before theirs, and this awwdorable golden retriever is no different. 

He's huge, especially in comparison to these itty bitty newborn kittens. Yet, despite his size, he makes sure to be the most gentle with them, sniffing them and trying to understand what these little wiggly creatures are. This is good for their future too, of course, because getting used to this large doggo now will allow them to understand each other better in the future and become best friends. It's heartwarming all around, and the feels... the feels are hitting hard with this video.

Are you ready for a double explosion of cute? Well, prepare yourself because you're getting not one but two - yes two - tiny baby stoats, and they're meeting each other for the first time. Their reaction to meeting one of their own for the first time is the most adorable thing in the world. They're just so excited, so happy, so instantly friendly and loving. 

Stoats are one of these relatively unknown animals that we feel never get enough love, so this is an opportunity to give stoats some of the love that they deserve. They're so cute, so quick, so energetic, and their cuteness should not be underestimated- as you're about to see.

Well, unfortunately, quarantine is not just for humans, and these two kittens have been in it for the past two weeks. They've been living right next to each other, seeing and learning one another from afar, but today, the barrier between them FINALLY gets knocked down, and they get to meet. 

Their meeting goes purrfectly, of course. The itty bitty kittens walk around each other's spaces, steal each other's food, sniff each other from head to toe, and wrestle each other to the ground. We think it's love. Though the two have never gotten to play with another kitten before, they definitely seem to know what they're doing, and they look so happy together!

A big ball of fluff meeting its baby ball of fluff, and the love is instant and strong in this video. Prepare for an overload of feels. 

A cat meeting his son for the first time, and no, there's no need to worry. Whatever worries you might have about a meeting like this were thrown out the window right away the moment these two looked at each other. The recognition was instantaneous, and the love came not a moment later. Not a hint of hostility, not a hint of fear, only wholesome love, sniffing, snuggles, patience, and so many head butts your heart will be fluttering with joy in no time. 

We have a feeling this is going to be one happy family. 

I don't know about you, but I understand why a huge, enormous puppy would be afraid of a tiny kitten. I mean, yes, you'd think it would make more sense for the opposite to be true, which it most times is, but I totally understand why the dog would be afraid of the kitten. Us, cat people, know exactly how fierce even the smallest kittens can be, and the dog can clearly sense that.

The German shepherd is excited, of course it is, but it is also adorably intimidated, barking and sniffing, and generally trying to asses the kitten's level of fierce. And though we can't explain why, we think these two will be BFFs in the future. 

Be warned: this video is so full of dogs being happy, you will not be able to stop laughing. 

An adorable, happy, and super excited pooch got to meet his birth daddy for the first time, and it is the cutest meeting we've ever seen. The day, of course, starts off with the dog realizing that something exceptionally exciting is happening, and therefore, he simply has to do his heart-meltingly adorable happy dance.

Then, when the meeting with his dad finally happens, the pooch is so excited, he instantly pees himself. And it is the cutest thing in the world. The father and son hang out all day, and the joy pouring off the screen is unparalleled. If you feel even just a smidge of their joy yourself, you will be set for the whole of next year.

Little puppies discovering the world is always something so wholesome and heartwarming to behold. Today, this adorable German shepherd puppy is meeting a bunny for the first time, and yes, it is exactly as heartwarming and wholesome as you imagine it is. 

The bunny is calm, and the dad is there to supervise the meeting, of course. But there's nothing at all to worry about. The puppy is a perfect gentleman, and the bunny doesn't seem to be scared at all. This video really is just adorable all around, and since it made us smile and feel a little calmer during the start of this week, we hope it'll do the same for you.

Two baby creatures meeting for the first time, could anything be cuter? This most wholesome video of a puppy meeting a baby for the first time went viral, and we can totally see why. The baby is so smol, and the puppy is so, so, so gentle with it. 

The puppy must know, somehow, that this tiny human is fragile and must be treated with a gentle paw. And the most gentle kisses and bites. All dogs seem to know that human babies need to be given extra special and loving care, but this puppy just takes over your heart without even trying. And the baby loves the puppy, because who wouldn't? 

The classic story of cat meets dog sigh and friendshiiiiiip is in the air. 

There are so many ways in which a first meeting between a cat and a dog can go. This one though is especially wholesome. The first time the cat and dog got to interact was... when the kitty was in the toilet lol. With mom's supervision of course. The dog was lying in the doorway, excited and observing, a good large doggo being as unintimidating as it can, and the cat was literally purring.

Though the cat was nervous as first, mostly because doggo is big doggo, eventually, friendship blossomed, starting with the classic cat playing with doggo's tail and ears and ending with them going on walks together and generally being totally adorkable weirdos together. A friendship story for the ages. And it makes us so so happy. 

In every cub's life, there's an incredible moment - the moment they meet their dad for the first time. It's totally normal for them to be separate at first, and that makes for some of the cutest first time dad meeting ever. This meeting goes as good as it could, and it's totally adorable. 

The dad roars at them a couple times, and they jump back - the big lion is intimidating, that's true, but he's also a perfect gentleman. He just has to show them how to be a proper fierce lion. And the little cubs are happy, excited, and playful. And adorable. Don't forget adorable. The big bad terrifying lion dad is also kind of really adorable, not gonna lie. 

Now, the mom is not going to have to protect her babies alone, and the pride is going to be stronger than ever. Of course, the little hooligans will keep up their shenanigans, but dad's gonna make sure that they know exactly how to be the fiercest, scariest (and cutest) lions around. 

We're also a bit scared to introduce a new animal to one you've had for many years. Will they get along? What if they absolutely can't stand each other? Will one animal hurt the other?

There's so many "what if," but then we see moments like this, where they are just simply curious and then accepting. 

Animals do a way better job at the arrival of a new member more than humans sometimes! 

Meet the handsome cat, William, who is meeting (for the very first time) his baby kitten named Artist.

Artist is 2 months ago, obviously adorable and very playful.

Here is how we are imagining the conversation between these two beauties went:

Kitten: "I'm looking for my dad."

Dad: "I'm looking for my son."

Kitten: "Well I hope you find your Son."

Dad: "And I hope you find your father." Walks away
