You have done it, everyone, you have made it through half the week, and yes, that is definitely an achievement. You've been getting up every day, working hard, getting things done in the best, most productive way that you could have. Now that you've made it this far though, we know that you're in need of some more inspiration to work with. And that's why you're here, about to look through this week's collection of animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

Each of these pictures is amazing in its own right - from adorable and funny pictures of animals to the most beautiful pictures of animal phenomena that show off just why we love nature so much. At least one of these pictures will get your imagination going and help you get through the rest of the week perfectly.

So, please enjoy this collection and have a wonderful rest of your week!

We have all heard the says that black cats are bad luck, and for some reason, people actually believe that fully debunked superstition - to the point that black cats are the least adopted cats in shelters. It's simply sad, because these people are wrong. Black cats are not bad luck. Black cats are purrfect little black voids of mischief and joy, and today, twitter is on the defense. 

Twitter users have taken it upon themselves to defend black cats by sharing some of the most adorable black cat pictures you will ever see. That's all we need to turn black cats' reputation around, really - some pawdorable pictures that will melt people's hearts and perhaps convince them to give these beauties a chance and adopt them. 

No matter how much knowledge we have about nature, every once in a while, something will shock us and remind us how amazing nature actually is. Whether it's the incredible bonds between animals, whether it's coming across a list of beautiful animals with unusual color mutations, or whether it's something as simple yet as amazing as seeing the way pregnancies look like in nature. 

Even thought every birth of an endangered animal is something that we celebrate, the actual is something that we, for whatever reason, haven't thought about very often. But, this viral thread on imgurhas opened our eyes, and has made us have a whole new appreciation for the heartwarming relationships between animal mommas and their babies.

Living with animals comes with quite a few challenges. From having our cats causing endless chaos to having our dogs bringing about absolute pawndemonium, having pets in the house can be hard. But, of course, it's worth it. 

No matter how many times we will wake up with our dog's paw right on our faces or how many times we will have our cat run over our stomachs when we least expect it like a heckin' elephant, no matter how many struggles we go through, having pets is the most amazing decision we have all ever made. And feeling our pets' love towards us is always worth it in the end, no matter how many shenanigans precede those moments of wholesomeness. 

Sometimes... life happens. Awkward things happen. Sometimes, you, living your best cat life, get stuck in the cupboard that you weren't supposed to have been getting intoin the first place. And that's okay. Sometimes, even animals have some no good, terribly awful, rotten days, and if they've accepted their fates like that, all we can do is accept the fact that we want to laugh at them. 

Animals being total derps is always the funniest thing, and this list of acceptance is full of the derpiest of all derps accepting their derpiness. We wish all of these pets a good day, and we hope that when awkward things happen to you - the reader - you will be just as chill about it as these animals are. 

Step by step, we have made it to the middle of the week, and we have been killing it all week long. At least by our standards. We've been working hard, putting in all the energy and inspiration we had into the things we've been working on. But alas, now that we have made it here, we find ourselves in need of some more motivation - something to inspire us to keep being awesome all week long. Well, you're in luck everyone, because it's time for this week's animal pictures worth 1000 words!

It's a collection of animal awesomeness that we bring you every single week, full of pictures that are guaranteed to inspire you. From funny animal pictures to wholesome animal pictures as well as the kind of pictures that will remind you just how awesome the animal kingdom is. Having an amazing rest of the week, everyone!

Cats have a whole lot of weird obsessions. For some reason, cats have an eternal struggle with plants. They also have an unreasonable desire to instantly sit on our fresh laundry and cover it with their fur. Of course, they have their love for catnip, but at least that obsession makes sense. 

The obsession they have with human foodthough, now that's a weird one. No matter what we have on our plate - whether it's food that they want or a cucumber, they will get in your face, and if you turn your back for a second, they will get in your plate, to try to... do something with it. Because goodness knows, most of the time they don't even eat it. Cats just like making sure that they're not missing out on anything, we're sure that's the reason. That, and also, cats are jerks lol.

It's the middle of the week, and as usual, somehow, we already feel a little drained. Keeping up the same level of energy throughout the entire week is really difficult, no matter how much we want to. It's hard to stay inspired. Yeah, you know what's coming... it's time for your weekly dose of inspiration with this week's animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

From pictures showcasing how loving animals can be and how hilariously animals can act to the most beautiful pictures of nature you will ever see. This collection of pictures has something for everyone. We really hope these pics will inspire you guys the way they inspired us, and we wish you a wonderful, productive, yet chill rest of the week!

We love cats, we feel like it's important to announce that at the beginning of this list. We know, we know, cats can be a whole lot to deal with - from unexpected bursts of energy at 3am, to making sure that your fresh laundry is covered in cat hairs instantly to trying to steal your food (and succeeding sometimes). 

But at the end of the day, these little felines bring so much joy into our lives. And you know what, as cat people with no sense of self-preservation and a desire to adopt every cat out there, we have come to the conclusion that two cats are better than one. For proof, you don't need to go any further than these picture. Double the trouble = double the love. Duh. 

One of the most hilariously adorable things that cats do that cat owners will point to is when they just get... stuck. Some revelation comes into our cats' minds sometimes, as if they've sniffed some catnip out of nowhere, causing them to pause in their tracks and reevaluate the meaning of the universe. They'll sit there, sometimes, for minutes on end, staring at the wall. And if we're lucky, they'll get stuck as they're cleaning themselves or something with their tongue sticking out. 

Picture time. Instantly. We must hold on to these precious moments of ridiculousness. Every blep is a beautiful moment, and every mlem is precious too. Oh, cats, what we wouldn't do to know what is going on inside your heads. 

Listen. Don't laugh. We all have incredibly derpy moments that end badly for us. Instant regret is no joke. ...But it is funny. And when it's jerk cats being jerksand getting themselves into trouble, it's even funnier. 

Cats' silly moments, cats' shenanigans, cats' unexpected busts of energy in the middle of the night while running right over your face... that's what we love about cats. Of course, without question, we would come to their rescue whenever these idiots get themselves into trouble, but... we'd also take some pictures. Cat chaos is the best. Enjoy the madness. 

Oh goodness, the way that this week is trudging along, slowly but surely, every minute ticking by as if it was ten. We're tired, we need some extra pep in our step, we need some inspiration to get us through the rest of the week successfully as well as calmly. Luckily for you, you have found yourself in the perfect place to get exactly that. Welcome to this week's collection of animal pictures worth more than 1000 words. 

Each of these pictures has a story behind it, capturing the beauty of nature. And one of these pictures is guaranteed to give you that inspiration that you're looking for. It could be one of the funny animal pictures in this list, could be one of the wholesome and heartwarming pictures, or maybe all you need is to see a picture capturing how incredible nature is for your week to finally be productive again. 

Please enjoy this list, everyone, and finish your week strong! 

Dogs are the most adorable animals ever. That's it. I said it. All of you who think cats are the cutest animals, step aside, because good boys and girls are coming through, and we need to pet them. Whether they're adorable puppies or overgrown doggos acting like puppies, we love them all. Without fail, dogs can and do make us smile whenever we see them. They don't even have to be our dogs. 

It's true, dogs can be dramatic sometimes, they can even be jerks. But, at the end of the day, even the fully-grown doggos who have not fully learned how to dog yet are the best dogs, and yes, we laugh at them, but it's because we're head over heels in love with them.

Yes, even though turtles are one of the slowest animals ever, they are also the coolest animal ever that finds its way right into our souls. They live basically forever, they have the coolest spine, they're brave against other animals, they have actually won many races against rabbits - not because they're faster but because rabbits have no attention span. 

We love turtles, turtles are so cool, and today, on this year's international turtle day, we are gonna celebrate turtles in the best way that we know how - through some hilarious turtle memes, cool and adorable turtle pics, and just some general turtle appreciation over how cool they are. 

Is there anything that we want in life than some pure wholesomeness and positivity? Something uplifting to get us through the day and make everything just a hint easier to handle? It can be anything - a collection of wholesome animal memes, adorable animal pictures, or the cutest animal pictures ever. Or... it can be all three at once. 

We know you're in need of another dose of animal cuteness in your life today, and we are here to provide. Here, you have a collection of everything from memes to pics to vids - all wholesome, all pure, and all with the singular purpose of making you guys smile. So, we hope that you do and that you have a wonderful weekend!

Every cat owner knows that while it's true that cats are lazy and sleep most of the day, they have their moments. Suddenly, out of nowhere, cats have a burst of energy like no other, start zooming around, and destroying everything in their path. Cats will sit in places they shouldn't, they will bully our dogs, they'll step on our faces at three in the morning. 

Cats are chaos. And the pictures you're about to see are of nothing but cat chaos. They're hilarious, painfully relatable to every cat owner, and they will, as usual, make you fall in love with cats even more. Because we, cat lovers, love our cats because of their madness, not in spite of it.
