snuggle

Have you ever been overtaken by the feeling of just wanting to crawl under your blankets and stay there for a while? Cozying up under them in the morning, not wanting to get up for work? We know you have. It's a universal feeling that everyone understands. 

That feeling becomes even more intense though when you have an animal snuggled up with you. Nothing is more difficult than getting up from under your blankets when your dog - who's technically not supposed to even be on your bed - jumps up to cuddle you in the morning. But, at least you can be assured, when you are at work, that your pupper is getting the snuggles that you want so desperately. At least one of you should.

We hope you enjoy these warm and snuggly doggos from r/TuckedInPuppies as much as we do and that you have an amazing weekend!

A tale as old as time... The first act: dads insisting on not getting a pet. The second: dads complaining about the pet the family got and acting like they can barely tolerate it. Act three: finding your dad cuddling your new cat/dog on the couch... still acting like they can only barely tolerate them. 

Really, they should stop pretending, we all see through them. No one can withstand the power of the cute.

r/dadswhodidnotwantpets on Reddit is the ultimate proof of that, considering how many people share their stories on it. It's wholesomeness galore, heartwarming stories and nothing else, and as someone with a dad just like one of those, I love these stories more than anything.

Whoever started the rumor that cats are not affectionate clearly has never owned a cat. Cats are very affectionate - they just choose their preferred times for being affectionate, and they're picky with who they love, just like we are. It's part of what makes us love them so much. When a cat is affectionate with you, you've earned it, and for that, it feels so much better. 

This cat who went viral on imgur is one who is so affectionate, his owner ItsMoni is even calling him overly affectionate with no perception of personal space. And the internet, as have we, has fallen in love with this cat. Because it's almost as wholesome and heartwarming to watch a cat love its owner as it is to be loved by one yourself. 

If you've woken up today on the wrong side of the bed and find yourself in need of some love and support, you're at the right place. Some pictures of floofy and affectionate cats cuddling and snuggling each other will do you some good, we promise. 

Scrolling through these pictures of kitty cat snuggles will bring some joy and calmness into your day and turn what you thought won't be the best day into a better one. Because what wouldn't we do to go to our kitties while we're working and studying and just lie down next to them for some snuggles? So, if you can't get the real thing, you'll get the love vicariously through these pics.

Have a purrfect day, cat lovers!

People who have no pets seem to truly have no idea what they're missing. The love and joy that an animal brings into a household, the brightness and pure positivity. And it's important to remember that, of course, you're not the only one who's made happy by their presence, but that they're also made happy by yours. 

There is nothing more gratifying in the world when you have a pet than seeing that pet love you back. Whether you see in the way they snuggle with you or in the way they just chill next to you, when animals love, they love hard. And it is the most beautiful thing in the world. 

So, if you know anyone who's considering adopting, show them these pictures, and their mind will hopefully be set on "yes".

I don't know if you've noticed, but it is cold outside. And there is nothing that we want more each and every day than to be able to not get out of bed, not go to work or school, just stay under the covers, rolled up and snuggled up in their warmth. One might even say that we are burrito-ing ourselves. Get it?

So, in honor of our endless desire and just as endless inability to snuggle up in our blankets every single day in this cold weather, we are bringing you some freshly baked, just out of the oven, little cat purritos. Looking at those wholesome snuggly pictures should make you a little bit warmer. At least a little bit.

Who in the world said that cats aren't affectionate? How is it possible that they ever got that reputation? Have the people spreading this false rumor never seen a cat snuggling other cats? Or cats snuggling other animals? Well, okay, maybe you show them pictures of cats doing both of these things, and the argument becomes that cats are actually just not affectionate to humans. 

We have gathered here today to prove these people wrong. And we're doing it in the form of the cutest, snuggliest pictures of cats cuddling their humans. Yes, their humans, argument disproved, cat haters. Cats can be so affectionate, and we, cat owners, know that well. Now, you're gonna be able to prove it to others as well. 

Okay, so we know cats are adorable. They just are, in every situation. But sometimes, the cute is so overwhelming we have to cover our faces with our hands and shield out eyes from it. It's too much, one more look and the butterflies will burst right out of our stomach.

They don't even know how cute they're being when they're doing it, that special moment when they're sleeping, you gently touch them, and they just squeezeeeee their tiny widdle faces. All instincts tell us to give them a big ol' kiss in that moment, but we can't. We must not interrupt them when they're doing the squeeze-face thing. It's too precious to ruin. 

It's snuggle time. Yes, we said it. It's the middle of the week, and you may be risking getting sleepier and awwing so much it tires you out completely, but it's time for some wholesome snuggles with the most wholesome cat purritos. 

These adorable kitties will make your heart surge with joy just like they do to us. There's no way to avoid it. It's a whole explosion of cuddly cuteness. Makes us want to get under a blanket and snuggle with them, just to feel that relaxation take over us as well. Use these pics as an example and take a breather, treat yourself to some cat snuggles and relaxing tea, and may the second half of your week be snugglier and warmer than the first. 

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. 

There's always some concern when it comes to leaving your baby with a cat. It's a fair thing to worry about since we know, as cat owners, that no matter how much our cat loves us, accidents happen, and sometimes we get scratched. Despite that, you might have noticed that cats have a tendency to want to be around a baby - smell it, sleep snuggled up next to it, lick its head. It might be because a lot of times babies smell like milk. It might be because cats are just curious creatures and babies are new and interesting additions to their homes. 

There's no obvious explanation for the care cats show to babies, but one thing that we do know is that it is omg so adorable. To show you just how sweet cats and babies can be together, we have gathered 24 pictures of just that to warm your heart and make your stomach flutter throughout the day. 

If you're in the mood for some more animal baby adorableness, here are some pets showing love to their pregnant hoomans.
