It's Wednesday and that can only mean one thing... we're officially halfway through the week! We just need to get over this hump and we'll be in reach of the weekend! We can do but not alone, we need a wholesome boost of animal goodness to get us there. With that boost, we'll be propelled forward, and the sooner we get to the weekend, the better.

There is nothing like a mid-week dose of cuteness and wholesomeness to help us get through the rough times. It has been said that looking at images of animals has lowered stress so we hope this compilation does the same for you. If you've been having a particularly ruff week, you may be in need of an extra added dose of animal goodness. 

Another week, another dose of inspiration for all who need it. Because some pictures are just impossible to describe in anything less than 1000 words, and so looking at them has our imagination running wild and our creativity exploding. They make us wanna write, they make us wanna paint, and they definitely make us want to go pet a cheetah.

So, enjoy this week's collection of inspiring animals and go write that novel you've been putting off writing. Just make sure that you have at least one animal in that novel - possibly a cheetah because why not - and that that animal gets snacks and pets and all the love in the world. 

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 Eric And Ollie, the Persian cats!

Introducing and Persian kitties - Eric, a Chinchilla Silver Persian, and Ollie, an exotic shorthair. The two cats also have a third member of the gang named Mr. Darcy, who is a Merle Pomeranian. These two cats are lighting up the Instagram world with their silly photos and adorable videos! These two cats may look like grumps but that couldn't be further from the truth! Eric and Ollie are both so very sweet and affectionate -- especially towards their owner/dad!

Their owner is constantly setting up awesome photoshoots for the cats and creating fun toys for them all to enjoy -- such as a cardboard express train! And the best part is that you can tell just how much Eric and Ollie's owner cares for his pets. If you're not following Eric and Ollie on Instagram, you're missing out because it's always a hoot! 

AHHH!

If 2020 had a face, we'd imagine something along the lines of these blurry screaming pics. The following images may be ones you've seen before, they are highly expressive and most were used as meme templates. Let's face it, screaming animals make for an excellent meme. 

These pics are of a sophisticated new style that really captures a moment in time that expresses the truth. The truth being confusion, anger, more confusion, shock, frustration, and finally, just a lot more confusion. We feel these expressions down to our bones, they have become one with us. 

It's Tuesday. The second Monday, as we like to call it. Thankfully, this is the day we decided to refill the dose of cuteness prescription, ensuring you with some major aww's to get you through today, and hopefully, the rest of the week!

Once a week, we refill the cuteness prescription dose so it's overwhelmingly adorable. We do this when we sense the cuteness energy may be running low and need a good ol' boost. This week's gathering of the cutes has been quite successful. Your dose is now filled, please be cautious of the one major side-effect -- cuteness overload. 

Other than that -- enjoy!

Something all cat owners can relate to... a universal truth: cats and their plants that never stood a chance. It's a hard lesson that some never seem to give up on. With each plant you buy and bring into your home, you're filled with peace and happiness. This plant will brighten up the room, it will add scenery to your garden, it can even provide you with food and your favorite tea ingredients. Too bad the chances of it surviving are so darn low. Why? Because cats will always find a way to either destroy your new plant baby, munch away on the juicy leaves, or just decide to live in the pot where it slowly, but surely, dies. 

It's an eternal struggle, this endless game we play. This is why cat owners can't have nice things:

Congratulations, you've struck gold! Gold in the form of wholesome animal pics and gifs, not just a little flake of gold either, oh no, you've got the treasure chest of animal goodness! It's rare and extremely valuable so be careful who you share this information or gold with. 

However, consider this, all this animal gold would mean nothing if you didn't have people to share with it! 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. We can't believe it's nearly the end, it flew by with a lot of drops and lows, and more lows, and maybe a little high here and there. Regardless of everything, we are in need of a mega wholesome boost to remind us of happiness.

And nothing delivers happiness like animals. Go make yourself some popcorn and get super comfy for this enjoyable ride! 

What is it about animals that bring us so much joy? Sometimes, they're the only thing in our day that can actually cheer us up and make us smile. They have this wholesome power that is rare and hard to find amongst humankind. It does exist but with animals, it's almost a 100% thing. 

Animals bring us joy. And even though this tough year is nearly at its end, we can always use another burst of happiness to help us feel OK. We don't know what the new year will have in store for us, but one thing we can guarantee is that animals will always be there for us to make us smile, laugh, and feel heartwarming joy. 

Days are getting shorter and darker and we need some light to guide us through, if you're in need of extra light, you've come to the right place. 

Who is ready for their weekly prescription of cuteness? We know we are! Science tells us that looking at pics and vids of animals can relieve stress and we 1000% stand by that. How can you not believe it? Every time we see a gallery of cute animals, our hearts are at ease, it's a beautiful moment of inner happiness. 

Week by week, we bring you that tranquil feeling in this cuteness gallery. It's important that you take your weekly dose of cute to ensure inner peace. If you missed last week's dose, you can take it right now. The only side-effect you may experience is possible cuteness overdose. You have been warned, proceed with caution. 

We are on a hat roll! Seriously, in the past few weeks, we've seen hedgehogs in tiny hats for all occasions, we've seen bunnies in hats, we've seen Halloween-inspired hat gear for animals, and also just a variety of cute animals donning the stylish outerwear. If there's something we can't seem to get enough of is animals in hats. 

We're here to add to our animal-hat-wearing-collection but showcasing they adorable danger noodles wearing some stylish hats! There is an entire subreddit dedicated to the art of hats for snakes and it's just the kind of content we need in our lives. 

A majority of these images are of an adorable 8-year-old Ball Python named Snakey. Snakey loves going on adventures, he is friendly and curious and definitely adorable. You can follow Snakey on Facebook to be kept up to date on his latest fashion wear!

We don't know about you but when we think of a mantis, the classic green mantis comes to mind. Who in the world knew they could come in such a vast variety of colors, and stunning colors at that? To say we're stunned is an understatement -- mantis are beautiful! 

Bugs are usually something we claim to be beautiful, but they have surprised us in the past! We're just attracted to unusual colors on things we've already decided on how they look. Which is usually brown and not so pleasant to look at. Turns out, there are more colors to little insects than we could ever imagine there would be.

We're not saying we're totally obsessed with insects now but we do appreciate their beauty!

They don't even look real! Teeny tiny animals are some of our most aww-worthy moments! And teeny tiny puppies are no exception to that aww-worthy title. These pups are so adorable and tiny, it's hard to believe they're even real, they look like plushies. 

The fact that they ARE real just makes them even cuter! We wouldn't mind being surrounded by such adorableness on a daily basis. And except now, while stress levels are at an all-level high, there's nothing quite like a load of puppies to help relieve all that anxiety. We just wish we could physically be with all these pups, but we'll take what we can get. 

Viewers are warned, cuteness overload is expected, as well as, heavy heart-melting. 

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 Rex, The T-Rex Cat!

Meet your new favorite cat - Rex! Rex is an adorable ginger cat who happens to be missing his front two paws and his tail. Rex lost both his front paws and tail when he was a little kitten and fell into a water dish in winter and they simply froze. However, even without those front paws and tail, Rex is just as capable as any other cat, plays often, and is constantly seen in videos running around -- and he's fast! 

This handsome cat is a warrior and we're absolutely head over heels in love! Follow Rex on Instagram for more adorableness!

Cats are simply a cut above the rest, and they know it. They look down upon us, their loyal servants, and rightfully so. They are far superior and definitely 1000x more majestic than we can ever hope to be. 

When it comes to being in their presence, we are awe-struck, we turn into babbling buffoons. It is difficult to be in the presence of greatness without making a fool of yourself. You want to please the cat(s), you want them to like you. It simply cannot be helped. 

At least by just looking at images of these superior beings, we can make babbling buffoons out of ourselves with no one around to judge. 

Happy National Cat Day! Our day continues with even more cat goodies!

When it comes to entertainment, we don't need our televisions or our smartphones, we have all the entertainment we could need and want thanks to our felines. Cats are sassy, frantic, attention-hogging, dramatic, can be ultra derpy, and overall just the cutest. If you live with a cat, you can't claim to be bored. 

Even watching them sleep is a joy in itself. And the more cats? The more insane your entertainment becomes. Shout out to those little troublemakers across the globe, we would be so very bored with you! Especially this year. 

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 Tootie Cat!
