In these trying times, one twitter user called @daily__hedgehog does god's work and brings us wholesome, cute hedgehog content on a daily basis. Every day, you can wake up knowing that an adorable new hedgehog is waiting for you in this account. And adorable hedgehogs are something that we all need sometimes. 

 A daily dose of tiny animal cuteness is necessary for a healthier lifestyle, didn't you hear? Even just one picture from this twitter account is enough to give you that daily boost, so a collection of cute hedgehogs is basically guaranteed to energize you for the entirety of the following week.

Ah the blep... one of our favorite animal phenomena. The true masters of blep are, of course, cats. That's inarguable. But! Did you know that foxes do the bleps too? Oh, yes, they do. 

And if we may say so ourselves, they might just be a worthy runner up for the Blep Master crown. It's not an easy feat. Even competing is an achievement. Cats have been purrfecting the blep since the dawn of cat. But... look at these foxes and tell us that they're not worthy competitors - impossible.  

May these foxy bleps bless your weekend. They definitely brought some joy to our day. Because truly, is there anything more bleping wonderful some happy, derpy foxes performing the elusive act of the blep? 

There's a reason we treat cats and kittens like kings and queens even if we don't all know it. Within them, cats hold insurmountable power. They just keep it hidden. They can't allow us to know the true strength that they hold because we may be too intimidated. 

Their power hides behind softness and purring and kneading, but sometimes, in true moments of rarity, we get a glimpse into the true Power of Cat. The following pictures may blind you with their aura, so we must caution you. Look at them at your own risk. And if you feel overwhelmed, here's some wholesome pictures of cats cuddling each other to calm you down. 

Some animals may be masters at playing hide and seek, but not these ones. Nope. These cuties, fierce as they may be, truly suck at the art of stealth. They're trying their best though, and we love them for it. 

Even the cats, animals who, in nature, are some of the stealthiest, most gasp-inducing creatures of all, have really failed in these pics. Then again, they may think they're fierce, but we know that our tiny widdle kitty babies are the clumsiest, funniest, most adorable animals of all, so of course they suck at hiding. 

All of these animals are the best at making a smile find its way onto your face, so enjoy these silly but adorable animals and have an amazing weekend!

It is a fact that cats are the ultimate zen masters. Whenever they get into that most concentrated, chill headspace, it is not easy to get them out of it. You can poke them, speak to them, pet them, and still, they be chill. They're hard at work, contemplating reality and deep philosophical questions. It would be a privilege to get into that cat's head and see the secrets of the universe.

Since we can't do that though, we use this moment of contemplation and show our own mental prowess by placing things on our cats' heads. It's one of the most silly and amusing things in the world. When they look you in the eye with that pen on their heads - that's one of the moments that you can really see what they're thinking, and it's something along the lines of: "fine, human, I will allow you this moment of entertainment, but you better give me a treat after."

You may not have known this, but yes, cats can fly. No, we're kidding. They can hover though. The hover cat is an elusive creature, one that only appears in the most perfectly timed photo moments. 

The positions a hover cat may take vary. It may be a flying loaf, it may be a startled leap, it may be flying log, a mid-hunt jump, or a ballerina backflip. What we know for sure is that all of these hover cats are silly and hilarious, and we love them all! Silly cats are the best cats. But these cats - so concentrated on their tasks - are funnier and sillier than most. 

Some pictures are simply too incredible to be described in anything less than 1000 words. Every week, we bring you some of these pictures. There's so much story within them, whether it's a story of unique animals, 'caught in the act' moments, unexpected relationships, or scheming cats. 

Each of these pictures has a story behind it that we wish we would know. But since most of the times a picture is just a picture, and we don't know what happened to bring such a moment into existence, all we have left to do is imagine. And imagine we do. 

I suspect the reason that this hedgehog is attacking a toy dinosaur is because it's feeling the prehistoric instincts it has from the time during which the hedgehog was the big predator, and the dinosaur was the prickly cutie. But hey, your theory is just as correct as mine.

Have you ever looked a dog in the eye and felt hypnotized? Felt like you would give anything and everything to that puppy to make them happy? Felt like their eyes were piercing right into your soul? Then you have met the original creator of the "puppy dog eyes". 

Dogs are adorable regardless of that they do. But when they do puppy dog eyes, there's nowhere to escape. You know you'll give them that treat when they give you those eyes, and they know it too. The assumption is that dogs have developed this ability to raise their inner eyebrows like that, making them look sadder and more innocent, baby-like, to get along better with humans. And whether that's true or not, we definitely know that it works. Staring into those wide eyes just gives us butterflies and makes our hearts flip, and we hope this collection of adorable puppies will do the same for you.

Another week, another list of pictures that are absolutely impossible to describe in less than 1000 words. We could try writing about these photos, but really, each of them has a story of its own within it. Sometimes, it's even better just to look, having the possible history and circumstances of each photo run through our minds at lightning speed, stories writing themselves in our heads.

It's fun, imagining what might have led a dog to walk a horse on a leash or this sheep to be bottle fed by another dog. Part of the beauty is that there truly is no way to know, and each version of the story is as interesting as the next. So, take a look at these incredible pictures and get inspired! Then, come back in another week for more story-filled picture shenanigans.

Well, cold weather is finally starting to set it, warmer clothes and shoes are coming out, and the big warm blanket is finally taken out of the closet. One of the best feelings in the world when it's chilly outside is getting that warm blanket and snuggling under it. Some of our kitties like that feeling too. And if we're extra lucky, they might come snuggle under that blanket with us. 

Because really, is there anything that warms your heart more than finding your cat with only its head or paw peeking out from under a blanket? Knowing that our cat is warm, happy, calm, and feeling safe is the best feeling for any cat lover. Today, we've collected some wholesome heartwarming pictures of cats and kittens under blankets for you to enjoy, and we hope that soon enough, you'll get to snuggle under a blanket with a kitten of your own. 

We must all be good cat owners and take care of our fluffballs, let's start with that. We have to keep them healthy, take care that they have enough water and food, that they get they pets and cuddles, and that they stay active. Keeping cats active can be difficult though, we all know how much they love their beauty sleep. 

Some cats, despite our best efforts, are chonkier than others. These gorgeous big beauties deserve all the love in the world too. So, take care of them, rub their big fluffy bellies, buy them a laser pointer and get them going crazy over it, and make sure that they they know that the bigger they are the more places you have to pet them. 

Perfectly timed pictures... one of pet owners' most highly valued achievements. They're the best pictures to show off to your friends, they make for incredible memes, and honestly, they're the pictures that we, owners, love looking at the most because they're just really unique. The pictures in this collection are really unique too.

Cats laughing. Some of these pictures must have been taken mid-yawn, some mid particularly intense meows. We can't be sure. But we are sure that these pictures are perfectly timed, hilarious, and some of our faves. These cats and kittens just look so happy, and seeing cats happy makes all of us happy. And we hope that these pictures will bring you some happiness too.

Time for your daily dose of cuteness! This time, we're showcasing adorable fluffy creatures (cats) turning themselves into perfect fluffy balls (circle cats). I mean, we all know that cats are flexible, and we have seen them lie in truly strange positions and places over time. 

Cats generally love circles, we know that for sure. But they have the most unique ability to turn themselves in a perfect circle - head right up to the butt. And it's adorable. Come on, you can't tell me you've never cooed and immediately snapped a picture when your cat did the turning into a ball thing. And some animals are so round they just... are balls. 

It's picture time! Everyone smile wide! Yeah, I'm talking about you too, giraffe, time to take a selfie. And time for us to look at these adorable selfies and smile too.

We're constantly surprised by stories of how smart animals are, how much they can understand, how much they... judge some of the weird things us humans do. We've seen everything at this point, from dolphins recognizing their own reflections to monkeys laughing at magic tricks. So, it's true, we assume that these selfies weren't actually taken by the animals that star in them, but... can we really be sure of that?

Week by week, we look for the most interesting pictures to present to you. Today, we have found an incredibly popular tumblr blog that reblogs some of the most thought-provoking pictures. The kind of pictures that hold book-length stories within them - ones that cannot simply be captured in anything less than 1000 words. 

From cows in bathtubs to kittens sleeping with turtles, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's eclectic collection of pictures that deserve nothing less than a whole essay. Maybe they'll even inspire you. Some of them sure are inspiring to us. It's fun to imagine the way this cow got into the bathtub honestly. Maybe its other cow friends are helping bathe it because it strained its ankle playing soccer earlier that day. Can you say for sure that this didn't happen? No, you can't.

It's elephant appreciation day, and we've got a huge collection of pictures, memes, videos, and everything in between to celebrate our favorite gentle giant. They may be big, powerful, and really intimidating in the wild, but in pictures, they are unbelievably cute. And they makes for some really funny memes too. 

It's known that elephants never forget, so we must make sure to not forget them too. They are unique creatures in many ways. One cute fact about them is that, though their trunks look huge and may make us think that they'd be somewhat clumsy performing tasks that require a gentler hand, at the end of their trunks, they have a finger-like small appendage that allows them to pick up things as delicate as grass. Cool, right? So, get involved and use this special all-elephant day to learn about them and how to help them. And may you have an elephantastic day!
