Welcome to Friday, everyone! The final day that you have to get through before you can spend the weekend cuddling your cats to your hearts delight, and it's time for all of us, cat people, to look back and recap the week in the only way that we really want to - cat twitter.
No matter what happens in the world, you know that cat twitter will always thrive and that there will always be some new purrfect kitty finding its way into everyone's hearts (and into their timelines). And you know that we are here for you, every single week, colleting the best of the very best that cat twitter has to offer. So, enjoy this week's tweets and have a cat-tastic weekend!
A meeting like no other - your amazing, beautiful, affectionate cat with the.. rude, aloof, unfriendly, traitorous copycat in the mirror. The concept of a mirror is, of course, a foreign one to our genius feline fluffballs, and the first meetings between the "two" cats are ALWAYS iconic.
Check out this week's animation of Earnie having its first ever encounter with the cat in the mirror, and it goes... just about as hilariously as you think it would. A worthy opponent, this copycat, always knows exactly what Earnie is planning on doing just before Earnie does it.

You're almost done with this week, dog lovers, so it's time for your weekly pawerful boost of doggo goodness. This week's collection of dog memes is joyous, wholesome, uplifting, and full of nothing but the best boys and the best girls who we all can't help but fall in love with.
They simply never fail to make us smile. No matter what they do, no matter how weird and perfect they are, we love them. And they love us. So, let these puppers spread some love, happiness and positivity into your day, and get through the final stretch of this week strong and pawsitive.
Just cats being cats. That's all you need to know before watching this list. Silly, weird, and infinitely adorable, these videos capture exactly what our furry friends are like.
For all the people out there thinking about adopting a cat, watch these videos as educational warnings about how cats are. And for the cat owners in the crowd, watch these and laugh your butt off because you understand. You understand, and you love your weird little hooligan anyway.

As BBC News reports, Phil Heckels, from Worthing, West Sussex, started working until the alias Hercule Van Wolfwinkle in 2020. Jokingly, he drew his his dog and put it on Facebook, offering paid-for commissions. He was just as surprised as anyone when genuine requests started coming in. Not only that, but his drawings have gotten really popular, and as pet owners ourselves, we can totally see why. Because the volume of requests was so big, it essentially became a lottery where Wolfwinkle decides who he draws and who he doesn't.
In addition to the drawings, Wolfwinkle writes accompanying fake profiles for each pet as well as reviews from the 'customers' - also written by Wolfwinkle. Additional merchandise, such as tea towels and calendars, has also been created.
Initially, the drawings were marketed at the joke price of £299. Later on, that became Wolfwinkle's original fundraising target. Now, "he has ambitions to reach £75,000, and has publicly vowed to get his first tattoo - his signature on his buttocks - on reaching that goal."
Wolfwinkle told BBC: "This whole thing is absolutely brilliant. To be honest it still doesn't feel real. I remember being sat on the sofa with my wife, laughing that we would never reach £299, and now we're here. I'd love to do this forever, it's just working out how we keep it going because I've basically created a second full-time job for myself. The money and publicity for Turning Tides has been phenomenal."
Turning Tides is the homeless organization to which Wolfwinkle has been giving all the raised money, and Wolfwinkle said he was "overwhelmed" by the amount raised for them. Sometime in May, a book with some of Wolfwinkle's work will be published, with part of the profits being donated to Turning Tides as well. There are no direct payments for the portraits. Anyone can donate to the cause to Wolfwinkle's JustGiving page, sending him a picture to draw. People wanted to send Wolfwinkle money, but he told BCC previously that he didn't want to take the money because "the pictures are rubbish." Check out some of his drawings below, and for more fun, poorly drawn animals, click right here!
Welcome to 2021, friends, where things just seem to keep getting weirder. And of course, the internet is keeping up with the weird, bringing about one of the silliest yet funniest memes we've seen in a while.
Only animal twitter has taken it a step further, deciding to use this strange 'Bernie Sanders wearing mittens' meme as an educational opportunity and teaching people about the size of different ocean creatures through it. Really, you shouldn't expect any less from animal twitter.
Welcome to Monday, everyone! It's time to open your eyes and make sure that you wake up on the right paw. And we're here to help you with that. Because we know that the best way to start the week is with the most viral, most talked about, the best of the best of this week's animal tweets.
It's a treat for everyone. You get cute, you get funny, you get wholesome, and you get the weirdness that you can only find on twitter. So, enjoy this collection of animal tweets, and may you have a paw-tastic week, friends!
Is there anything in the world that we love more than our dogs? Arguable, but probably not. Even so, all of us, dog owners, can admit that our doggos are total weirdos. Loveable weirdos who are the bestest of all best boys and girls and who we would do anything for, of course, but weirdos nonetheless.
The subreddit r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog is one of our favorites ever for the reason that it showcases our adorable weirdos pawfectly. So, take a look at our newest collection of our favorite weirdos, and fondly laugh at how silly and adorable they are.
It is time to finish yet another week and start off the new week on the right foot, and this time, we're doing with tumblr animal posts that are all happy positivity, laughs, and animal shenanigans that only tumblr knows how to capture perfectly. Because there is no better way to start a week off than with funny animals, and we all know it.
So, enjoy this animal tumblr treat and let it help you stay positive even through these difficult times. This period may be rough, but animals will always be on our side, putting smiles on our faces and brightening our days.
All pet owners understand that the change in work routine has come not just for you but also for your pets, and some of them have been adapting better than others. Our cats especially seem to have mastered the art of the zoom call. Whether it be by sitting right on our laptopns when we're giving a presentation or by staring the camera down and silently complaining about this could have just been a dang email.
A bunch of hilarious tweets went viral, showcasing exactly this beautiful cat phenomenon, and we cannot stop laughing about them. So, it's only right that we share the laughs with you too. Enjoy, friends! And have an amazing new week!
Time to learn and laugh at the time time, because when twitter decides to teach you something about dogs, it is bound to be funny. A desperate plea for information about dachshunds from a very confused dog owner went viral, and people replied in the masses, sharing stories about not only their experiences with meeting dachshunds and raising dachshunds but also actual information that'll teach you why these small pooches behave the way they do.
This is the perfect thread for all of us confused dog lovers out there that want to learn but have no patience for it, because with funny viral tweets like these, you will not be able to stop reading even if you wanted to. So, enjoy, and next time you'll walk past a dachshund, at least you'll know why it's attempting to kill you.
Can anyone explain exactly why cats love sinks so much? Is it the coolness? Is it the "if it fits, I sits" instinct? All we know for certain is that no matter what time of year, no matter what we're doing in the bathroom, for some strange reason, our cats are always following us there.
They're probably watching us in there to make sure we don't drown in this weird watery room. That has to be the reason, right? A cat's consideration knows no bounds. At least that's what we tell ourselves when they reach over and try to munch on our favorite toothbrush. Eh, whatever, so long as they look cute in that sink, they know they can get away with pretty much anything.
You may look at your bathroom and see a place where you clean yourself, but for you cat, that room is basically a torture chamber. The sink is a slip-and-slide, the toilet is a water bowl that they should DEFINITELY not drink from (they've smelled it, they understand), and the bath they will only be curious about once. Only once.
Check out this week's animation of our favorite senior cat - Earnie - where he discovers the bathroom for the first time. In the battle between Earnie and the water... the water wins.

Meet Earnie's one undefeated enemy - the vacuum. It's terrifying. It eats and screams all at once, and even the humans seem scared of it. What's in the world can Earnie do to protect them from it if he's too scared of it himself?
Meowmoirs: Earnie should probably send Bork to do the dirty work.

Another week has gone and passed, and that means that it is time for a recap - cat twitter style.
Every single week, we scour the wasteland of twitter and bring you that most purrfect, most talked about cats on twitter this week. Because there is no better way for a cat lover to end their week than with some cat tweets. But because cat twitter is up and running 24/7, it's hard for any single person to keep up with it, and that's why we keep up with it for you.
So, enjoy these cute, wholesome, funny and heartwarming tweets, friends, and may you have a meowtastic weekend!
Listen, you signed up for this, okay? When you got your adorable little fluffball, you knew that you were getting both someone that will love you and will be your bestest friend but also... a tiny demon. That's just how cats are. But that doesn't mean that we're not allowed to be fondly fed up with them sometimes.
A tweet went viral, showcasing exactly that kind of fondly fed up cat owner, and other cat owners started tweeting about their stories of their own little furry hooligans. And though, as cat owners, we definitely sympathize with the struggle, it's also... extremely funny to read about other cat owners having to go through it.
