You know those cats that you see on the internet who are so painfully beautiful you wonder if they're even real? Yeah, well, the subreddit r/SupermodelCats is full of them, and they are so dazzling we really think they should be out there, straight-up walking the runways. They're so beautiful, even the models would be stunned. 

So, instead of checking out yet another magazine this week, check out these gorgeous model kitties instead and enjoy that they are all positivity, all love, all day. But let's be real, all cats are beautiful. And though maybe mine is more derpy than photogenic, to me, she is the most stunning kitty of all. 

Everyone's favorite animal calendar is back! And this time, we're getting a whole six of them - hunky firefighters posing with some adorable animals for charity - cats, dogs, koalas, and kangaroos. What more could we possibly ask for? This is exactly the kind of lighthearted and wholesome content we need to brighten up this year and the next one - handsome men with even more handsome animals. 

Check out some of the pictures below!

Meet maybe Onyx! His newborn photoshoot is all over Reddit and winning over everyone's frozen hearts! The pictures were posted by Reddit user u/scottdellinger, who's wife is a high-end newborn baby photographer. As the user mentions in a comment below, due to lack of physical human interaction this year, there haven't been any new photoshoots occurring. 

Until Onyx. 

And this tiny kitten photoshoot has sparked something inside all of us, especially when all wrapped up in that purrito. 

Our hearts can barely handle this magnitude of cuteness. Get ready to feel what we feel! 

We've been seeing a lot of really awesome creations for squirrels lately! 

We've seen a replica of the classic bar from the show "Cheers," we've seen really adorable and creative squirrel feeders such as a picnic bench!

And we've seen a squirrel cuddling with a teeny-tiny teddy bear which is just the sweetest thing ever. 

And now, wildlife photographer Sharon Cutler has taken it a step further by placing a tiny bed in her garden where squirrels frequently are. The bed was originally made to be used in a photoshoot with her daughter's guinea pig. When she uploaded the pictures onto Facebook, the reaction was instantaneous and people fell completely in love with Cyril the Squirrel. 

Photographer Adrianna Elizabeth has shared some delightful pictures to brighten up the world in these dark times. 

Photos of her gorgeous cat! The images were taken to announce the cats pregnancy, and it's absolutely lovely. 

With the natural light of golden hour, you can't help but fall in love! 

Posted on Reddit, user u/Loverstits, shared a professional photoshoot of his cat, Kazmir.

And yes, it's amazing. 

He also took the time to credit the talented photogrpaher behind these masterpieces! Photographer Sarah Bourque, an award winning pet photographer based in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. You can check out more of her stunning work here, 

Prepare to feast your eyes on the handsome Kazmir: 

Bride Kristen Dupree was started to feel nervous and jittery before the ceremony so she had an idea. She asked one of her bridesmaids to go and get her two-year old black Labrador, Zeke, who had been hanging out with the groom and groomsmen all morning. 

And what happened next was just pure happiness and love. A mini-series of heart-warning "first look" photographs of Kristen and Zeke, taken by Farlow Photography, that have since gone viral. 

The photos of the "first look" between the two hold the raw emotions of love, and we're pretty sure that's what makes this spontaneous shoot so magical. 

Is there anything more darling than a maternity shoot? Sure there is! If your model just happens to be a loyal, pure of heart, good girl two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar! 

Sugar is expecting her first litter and who better to capture the moment than Washington-based photographer Laura Shockley? Laura Shockley specializes in maternity, as well as, newborn shoots. She made headlines last year due to her gasp-worthy shot of a newborn ecstatically outstretching his arms, as if thrilled to have finally arrived into this world.

Now, Shockley is sharing her newest photo-shoot via Facebook featuring a pregnant pup! "This little momma is going to grace us with some short legged puppers soon! I can not wait for the next milestone session for her, the grandmother (me) 'purchased' her the maternity/newborn package!," Laura wrote. 

Shockley told PopSugar that Sugar is, "getting close to the end of her pregnancy and we took her for a day filled with pup cups and peanut butter treats, [and] it ended with her maternity session. If people can feel special on their photo shoot days, so can Sugar!"

We are definitely on-board with that! 

Complete with images of Sugar rocking a flower crown and tulle, and surrounded by a field of flowers, here is Sugar's gorgeous and one-of-a-kind photo-shoot:

It's hard to imagine a better gender reveal photo shoot than the one photographer Carlye Allen threw her friend, Joy Stone. Joy and her husband Brady had been searching for a rescue puppy for quite some time. However, they couldn't find the perfect fit for their little family. Then, few days ago, Carley saw a post by Gracie Gonzalez, who found this puppy with four other siblings abandoned alongside a Texas railroad track. Carley reached out to her friend with an idea: "I thought that this one would be a perfect addition to their family," Carley told WISTV . "I drove two hours to pick up the puppy, and my friend drove three to meet me." 

So the photo shoot happened but it gets even cuter. The woman almost scared her husband with the style of photos: "Her husband had no idea that we had this up to our sleeves. I was a hostess for a shower the day prior and happened to have a tank of helium and extra balloons in my trunk," Carley said. "I joked about doing a gender reveal to my friend, and she loved the idea. Fifteen minutes later, we were in my yard snapping pictures." When Joy brought the puppy home, her husband was in shock. He was thrilled to welcome Rey (they're avid Star Wars fans) into their family." Via: WISTV

You're probably thinking that these pictures will be one of a cat giving birth... well, you are wrong! To show off her amazing photography skills and to let the world know she also shoots births, Elizabeth Woods- Darby, aka Barefootinthefog, captured her friends special moments with her cat...

Woods-Darby stated on her websit, "I had the sweet (and hilarious) honor of photographing the beginnings of a brand new family on Friday. This little man was adopted from Soul Dog Rescue. He is 22" long, 6 pounds 7 oz and man is he the sweetest cuddler. Thanks to Lucy Schultz for trusting me to be there to capture these special first moments[...]As a photographer and videographer, capturing birth and those raw first moments as a family, are incredibly rewarding. Although this shoot was unconventional, I've always been impacted by the beauty and raw strength of birth and adoption."

We couldn't have said it better, even if we tried! 

The post soon became a viral hit and so we just had to share! 

You may find these photos unbelievable (We did) but they are actually real! Austrian acrobat Stefanie Millinger is a remarkable gymnast. Having decided to become a circus performer at they extremely early age of 4 years old, she has accomplished much more. Millinger is the gold star winner of Germany's renowned prime time 'Supertalent' television show. Taking her talents around the world and completeting amazing photoshoots, Milinger seems to be unstopable. 

So, it's no surprise really that she would pose with a bear! Photographer Olga Barantseva, from Moscow, Russia shoot the incredible photos and they look like they were photoshopped! Barantseva said, "Right from the beginning she was not afraid of the bear. It was as if they had known each other for years....Even more interestingly even the bear seemed astonished and surprised by the poses, especially those she performed on his back...Stefanie loved posing with the bear, and the bear seemed relaxed all the way through as well."
