Cats have all kinds of personalities and vibes and chemistries with their owners. While some are dignified and enjoy just being pampered and able to sleep all day, some like to be silly and playful. Hats are just one of the ways that cats can reflect a certain aura to us. Maybe I am humanizing them too much but really I find each relationship with each cat to be unique and I love seeing owners relationships with their cats in these photos.

Some of the cats in hats in the following photos are ridiculous, fancy, and sweet. While cats are not here for our amusement, sometimes they allow us to humor ourselves for just a moment before they stalk off and go back to cleaning their paws for the millionth time that day.

The week goes on and on, and we're officially starting to get tired. Keeping up with everything that we need to do on a day to day basis is not easy without some extra motivation and inspiration to move you along. Well, you're about to get that inspiration right here - in our weekly segmentof animal pictures worth 1000 words. 

It's a collection full of pictures that each carry a story about animals. From cute animal pictures, to funny animal pictures, to strange and beautiful creatures that you might have never seen before. At least one of them will find its way into your heart and give you some inspiration, and that would be more than enough. Enjoy, everyone!

Ahhhh kitten season... There are very few things in this world more precious than a litter of kittens or many of them. They have their tiny noses and tiny feet. And there is that factor where their bite is not painful yet. To see kittens with their momma is even better! The kittens start learning how to "make biscuits" and it's all just really really beautiful.

There are photos of different kinds of cat families. Whether it be in numbers, breeds, or coloring, families come in all kinds of forms. A lot of the photos brought to this post are recent so if you want to check on the progress of these babies, go ahead and follow the credit link!

Only on the internet does so many people come together and create a mini phenomenon surrounding something like cat's toes. Or in other words, toe beans. Yes, you read that right. Toe beans! Toe beans are called that because of the shape of the little pads on their feet. One thing I learned in my search for toe beans is that no matter the age of the cat, toe beans are gosh darn cute, especially if they have an extra toe bean thrown in there.

Below, y'all will find photos of kitty toes at different angles. Some are pretty standard, but some are also hilarious or artistic. Personally, my absolute favorite thing to do is to put my finger in the palm of my kitty's paw whilst their making biscuits in the air and then the beans tense around it.

Cats are kind of known to be uh cough cough antisocial creatures. Sometimes it is true, I'm not gonna lie. However, a lot of the time it very much isn't the case! For example, cats and dogs oftentimes get along swimmingly despite all the rumors. With a little getting used to and enough encouragement, a lot of animals can absolutely get along with cats! Cats just show their love in funny ways sometimes.

Some of the photos you will see here are cats with animals they are "supposed" to fight with, like dogs. Some of the photos even include photos of cats with animals they are "supposed to eat, like birds. If a cat can freakin adopt a duck as one of its own, maybe world peace is closer than we think! 

Any cat-parent will tell you that the nature of cats is that they never come when you want them to, and they will always want to cuddle when you are at your busiest. Even as I'm typing this article, I have one cat spread out over my laptop and another cat under my chair asking me to pet him. Therefore, cats are notorious for laying across our keyboards, gnawing on our pencils, and not allowing us to turn our pages. Basically, cats are always sitting where they shouldn't.

Below, you all will find recent pictures and stories of this wild and consistent phenomenon. But truth be told, no matter how annoying a cat can get, it is endlessly cute and will always raise a chuckle. However, you will never have a say when your cat does this.

Wombats are one of the most underrated cutest animals ever. They have an internet following, kind of like the love that sloths have received over recent years but less trendy. Wombats are a strange mix in that they look like what would happen if a kangaroo and a koala and a pig got together and had a baby. Only in Australia, I tell ya. One of my best friends is obsessed with wombats and the moment I told her I was making this list, she was already blowing up my phone with some of the examples you will find below!

Wombats are clearly a very cuddly bunch! They were born for hugging and digging, basically. Unlike kangaroos, wombats have their pouches on their backs so that they can dig in the ground without harming or dirtying their young. Unique and sweet creatures, you will find below 15 pictures that show why wombats are completely underrated!

Nature is amazing. It has given us some of the most beautiful animals in the world. We've seen everything from birds that look like they're wearing stars to stunningly colorful praying mantis. The simplest of animals can leave us breathless and have us in awe of what mother nature has given us. 

Sometimes though, nature decides to create a special treat for the ones of us who are paying attention, and rather than simply making a new beautiful animal, nature takes an existing animal and makes it even more special than before. Below, you will strange and beautiful animals with some of the most incredible color mutations, and you will definitely find yourself amazed by nature all over again. 

Babies and animals are some of the sweetest images on the planet because we get to witness true discovery. As babies learn the softness of fur and the sensitivity of tails, we get to feel their excitement alongside them! Sometimes the interactions aren't always super smooth.. but the experiences themselves are so enriched with love and curiosity that this is a topic that neverrrrrrrrrrrrr gets old.

Below you will find photos of tiny babies with giant dogs, newborn kittens with babies, babies with guinea pigs, and more! So many smiles and giggles, my heart can barely take it. The ultimate sweetness in such a post can give you a cavity.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these adorable photographs have a lot to say! When it comes to 'before' and 'after' animal photos, sometimes the story is what truly makes the images more powerful and wonderful. Sometimes the story comes across and sometimes it doesn't. To see an animal start out small and shy and end up big and confident is truly a magical thing. 

All of these before and after photos show growth. Some are hilarious scenarios. Some are inspiring. And some are just heartwarming! And who out of us cannot get a kick out of these beautiful darlings!? Surely, no one.

Wolves are dangerous, yes, we know. But we're animal lovers, so we know better than to fall for the stereotype of the big bad wolf. Wolves may be dangerous, but so are adorable big wild cats, and we think they're cute too. Amazingly, the big bad wolf is incredibly affectionate, and in general, wolves are the biggest goofballs ever. 

Wolves are basically overgrown doggos, so it totally makes sense that we love them so much. We can only hope to one day meet a wolf friendly enough who will actually give us permission to pet its belly. That would be a total dream come true. 

If you're feeling uninspired the more the week goes on, you have found yourself in the right place. Sometimes, we really do need a little extra boost of inspiration, and what's better than one of the things that we love the most? Animals. Animals and their amazing stories always have a way of capturing out imagination and making us feel reinvigorated again. 

That is why, each week, we collect for you the most incredible animal pictures we can find - each worth more than 1000 words. The pictures are funny, cute, wholesome, and every single one of them reminds us just how amazing animals and nature are. 

There comes a moment in each in during which a cat lover who is busy at work or school suddenly feels the need for more... cat. We miss our little felines when we're at work, and working from home with cats around is not easy either. Being cat lovers ourselves, we, of course, understand the struggle. That is why, every single week, we bring you a medley that is full of nothing but cat appreciation. 

The more cat, the better! And we make sure to find for you the absolute best - the cutest cats, the funniest cats, the most wholesome and most ridiculous. We hope you enjoy this list, cat lovers, and don't forget to come back next week for some more much needed cat love. 

January 21st is the actual annual date of National Hug Day. Although frankly, if we are being honest, this should be a much more common sort of day. Kind of like a Friday. Hugging should happen more often and amongst more people (only if the people actually agree to it, of course- consent is important!). When animals hug, it bursts into our brains as if we are being hugged ourselves. It is so sweet and heartwarming, that I'm pretty much convinced we should make it a regular holiday.

We have here raccoons, dogs, cats, reptiles, seals, dolphins, and bunnies! My goodness, are there any animals even missing? There are mixed-species hugs and homogenized-species hugs. We can learn a thing or two from these darlings. Love is a powerful thing and these little guys show us exactly why.

Meet the largest lepidopterans in the world - the Atlas moth. To be honest, we're not really insect people, but this might be one of the most beautiful insects we've ever seen. It takes its honorary place for us right next to the Sphaerocoris annulus that looks like an actual Picaso painting and these stunning and beautiful colorful mantises. 

Insects such as the Atlas moth are the best way to show people that nature - even when you might think that it's a but scary and eww-y - is actually beautiful. And the Atlas moth is an extra special beauty because of its gentle giant qualities. Keep reading to find out more about this incredible insect, and be amazed by how awesome nature really is.
