positive

It's time for your weekly dose of tumblr content, and this week, it is only positivity and only cats. Why? Because it's Sunday, and tomorrow is Monday, and both you and us need some positivity before the new week starts. And what's a better way to accomplish that then some entirely pure cats? 

So, enjoy this purely pure cat tumblr post collection, let the positivity wash over you like a happy cat's purring, and make sure to make the best out of what's left of this weekend by taking the longest, snuggliest cat nap of all (preferably with a cat). 

I don't know about you, but the weekend is almost here, and we're really starting to feel the need for some extra positivity in our lives. And is there anyone more positive and wholesome and uplifting than dogs- one of the purest animal to ever exist on this earth? 

Let the doggos come to the rescue! Get all the love and positivity you need from there right here with the most wholesome doggo tweets we found this week. And oh my goodness, there are truly some gems in here that brought the biggest smiles to our faces. We guarantee that suddenly, the weekend will feel much closer than it did before. 

Not one but Two! Two happy rescue kitten stories by the same volunteer rescue group, and we are twice as happy. An adorable black kitten, now named Kevin, has been rescued from inside of a car engine in Ballymena. And the other kitten, a calico kitten beauty named Cotton, was rescued after getting trapped in an industrial site under a raised oil tank. Twice the rescued kittens, twice the good news, and twice the gratitude. 

We've an update about one of the most positive stories to come out of 2020, and the update is just as wholesome as the original story. The (tiny) giant panda cub that was born at the Smithsonian's National Zoo three weeks ago has finally gotten a name, and it is the most appropriate and cutest name of all. Xiao Qi Ji is his name in Chinese, but it translates to 'little miracle' in English. 

The little giant panda has gone absolutely viral in the past couple of weeks after a video of his miraculous birth was released by the zoo, and since the world fell in love with the cub, the zoo decided to let the world participate in naming him. Of course, the internet does not disappoint when it comes to baby animals. 

We were given a choice of 4 names, and after three weeks and nearly 135,000 votes that have been cast, the adorable name 'little miracle' was chosen. The long waiting period was not an accident, it is part of Chinese tradition to wait 100 days before naming the cub. We wish the little cub luck and prosperity, and for his mother, Mei Xiang, to have many more adorable healthy cubs in the future!

It's time for your weekly dose of doggo pawsitivity! Fresh and doggolicious, straight from the kennel into your brain. All meme, all day. Amusing, hilarious, cute, and everything in between, but most importantly, it's allll doggo. 

Don't worry, the week is soon coming to an end, and sweet, sweet relaxation with your face right in your puppy's fur is awaiting. Soon, you shall have snuggles of the doggiest variety, and we all know those are the best kind. So, one more barking push, and you'll get through it, and with these dogs' help, we know the rest of your week will easily be a lot more borksome!

It's time for some human positivity! We mean... positivity about humans! Because humans are animals! Meaning, humans are as cute as animals. So... we're being positive about humans by describing them like we would describe animals. Okay, now, it makes sense. But let tumblr explain a little better.

One of the most wholesome human-positive but animal-style posts on the website in which the user gives 13 reasons for why humans are one of the cutest animals. It's a post that radiates positivity and creativity all around, because who ever thought about the fact that when you wear your boyfriend's or girlfriend's shirt, you're actually leaving their scent on you? We forget sometimes that we're animals too. But we're cute animals, and that's what matters. 

Just as the week is ending, and you're looking for something to make the thought of the following week a little easier to digest, we are at the ready with some absolutely awwdorable pictures of dogs smiling. Yes, dogs can smile, and yes, it's the cutest thing in the world, and there's absolutely no way that you will be able to get through this entire page without cracking a smile of your own.  

Because there's absolutely nothing that makes us happier than happy animals. Smiling dogs, smiling cats, smiling foxes - yes, yes, it's muscles in the face doing some weird stuff and smiling is perhaps not the most accurate way of deriving whether an animal is joyous or not, but we love it anyway! Because we know that our animals are happy, we make sure of it, so their silly adorable wholesome little smiles make us smile too.

Sweet wholesome goodness! There's nothing like it! It's definitely our favorite way to start off a new week, and we hope it's your favorite way too! When it comes to animal memes, they're always a delight. Whether it's our Caturday memes, or lolcats, or itty bitty crab memes. Memes have a way of bringing us happiness, and we all know, animals have always brought happiness into our lives. So the combination of the two truly makes something magical. 

And then you sprinkle on the wholesomeness and it takes it to new heights. As if animal memes weren't good enough, they just somehow get even better with wholesomeness added to the mix. Each week, we prepare for you the ultimate wholesome list to go along with your hot cup of coffee, and each week it's nothing but happiness galore. 

We wish you all a wholesome week! 

The Happy Broadcast is here to report on all the good and wholesome things that have happened during our stay-in. 

Despite everything, one thing is for sure -- the Earth is healing without our presence. Last week was Earth Day, and the Earth has seen more kindness to the planet than any Earth Day's before. 

And for that, we are grateful. Here are some happy things from the Happy Broadcast! 

It's important to stay optimistic during these really bizarre and slightly terrifying times. 

We all need to remember the beauty of this world, the people and animals that make it so beautiful, and to never take it for granted again.

Thankfully, we still have each other and we still have the internet that is jam-packed with wholesomeness. 

Let this list bring some light to you.

As written in the 'About' section, Gatti writes why 'The Happy Broadcast' was created, "I'm honestly fed up with all the bad news everywhere.
