paws

Time for a wholesomeness attack of jelly beans! But not just any kitty jelly beans, no, we're talking mid-stretch kitty toe beans. You know what we're talking about, you know the iconic, rare toe bean stretch. It's the final level in the evolution of the stretch - no stretch is cuter. 

Aww in delight at this wholesome floofers who don't have a single clue how cute they are, just being cats and doing regular cat things and somehow managing to be the most wholesome and adorable creatures ever. And all they're doing is stretching! They're not even trying, and we're over here melting! Cat-astrophe. We're all too weak for cats. 

You know how cats always go to places they shouldn't go to, always sit where they shouldn't, always act like absolute hooligans? Yeah, they've always done that. Apparently, all throughout history, cats have been walking around in important places, on important documents, leaving their kitty paw marks, and now, we have proof.

A twitter thread by the user @DannyDutch who collected all the pieces of evidence of how cats have been walking over our things for over 4,000 years has gone vial. People added their own pictures to the thread as well, and we found another few. Some other users also gave their own purrfect additions, showing that cats are still leaving their marks to this day. 

We've heard a lot of people ask "why do cats not like having their paws held?" There doesn't seem to be a concrete answer for that. Some people think it's a matter of taking away a cat's defense mechanism, others say that it's because cats' paws are very sensitive. But honestly, I've never had this problem with my cat, she's always been perfectly content to let me hold her paw or put her paw on my palm. 

So, we went on the hunt to find out if some cats do like holding hands with humans. To our absolute heart-melting delight, we found out that they do. And today, we bring you the photographic tumblr and twitter proof. 

There are so many delicious toe beans to explore! There are pinto beans, black beans, chickpeas, pink pea, black-eyed peas, jellybeans, mixed beans, polydactyl beans, and everything in-between! 

Toe beans are life. They are the ultimate source of cute for each and every cat. Some believe that the toe bean harnesses all the cute and that's where the cat draws it from. But these are just myths... that we totally believe and did not make-up.

Enjoy some fresh baked beans! 

Sometimes, you don't need any words, hugs and kisses to let someone know you're there for them. Sometimes, a hand is all you need. 

Our love-fest continues with cats who show their love by holding paws. 

If these paws don't get some 'aww's'.. we are officially concerned for your well-being. 

Happy Valentine's Day!  

How does one show that they are fancy? Why, you cross your paws, of course! 

When your paws are crossed it screams elegance, class. and overall, just some good ol' manners! 

Thoughts of Dog, the ultra-wholesome Twitter page that features thoughts from a dog, tweeted an adorable fancy-pants tweet about doggos crossing their paws. 

Thus, a storm of users began to share their fancy-pawed 4-legged furbabies and we couldn't get enough... so we decided to share some of them with you!  

Want to make your holiday season even more special and memorable? You can now create this lovely paw print keepsake, made out of non-toxic clay, made specially for dog and cat paws! Once the clay hardens, you can either turn it into an ornament and have your furbaby be a part of the tradition, or have it as memorabilia. 

Either way, it's still a lovely and special memory that will stay with you forever. 

The kit (which makes 2) is available on Amazon! 

Twitter user and journalist, Kate Gray, shared an aww-dorable post with the world -- paw prints. Paw prints forever immortalized on her apartment.

And not just any paw prints, adorable little jellybean-ed cat paws! 

And as we all know, no sensible human can resist the cuteness of a cats' paw. And neither could these very sensible Twitter users who commented on the post:

What about your apartment/house? Any adorable paw prints? Share them with us in the comments! 

Who knew tarantulas had such tiny and dare we even say "cute" paws? It almost makes them slightly less terrifying. 

Almost.
