#AwwwwCats collects adorable stories and photos from cat owners around the world and we're definitely gonna embrace it as one of our favorite treats!  

There's one thing from this year that has been reliably, steadfastly good: funny and heart-warming stories about our furry animals. Here are the best ones. Via:Best Life

The Weird Facts website is all about bizarre facts and stories we probably didn't know. So expand your knowledge with these 10 amazing stories we have gathered for you. 

One more proof we don't really deserve them...

These stories will shock you! 

At AskReddit you can always find questions. Even better are the answers that come with those crazy questions. What's the sweetest thing your pet has done? was a question submitted by tpphypemachine and we just have to say thank you! Because these stories are just amazing. We really don't deserve such amazing pets! 

Sometimes we don't realize it, but animals look up to us. They observe our every move. That's how well they know when they are needed and how much they can basically get away with! Just take it from some of these weird stories! Reddit user thedisbandedwaffle asked Reddit users a simple question, "What Have Your Pets Done That is Worryingly Smart?", obviously, Reddit users were quick to reply and we are happy they did! 

One day @mushenska went to the vet. And while she was there she heard some very cute and pretty funny animal names. So funny that she just had to share her experience on Twitter! Better, it caused other people to share many other weird and wonderful pet names they'd overheard too!

Have your tissues nearby, and get ready. These stories with fill anyone's heart! Reddit users were asked recently by claireshorrors to answer a simple question... "what's a moment when you realized that your pet really loves and/or trusts you?" And, who would have thought that people's answered would bring legit tears and big AWWWWs! 

We've all seen pictures and read stories of how cats adopt people. Well, this one might outdo them all! One night Paris Zarcilla (@ParisZarcilla) casually went into his room looking for a jacket before going out, only to find that a cat gave birth to kittens beneath his bed! (Oh this is not his cat!)

One Reddit user has asked the ultimate question. A question that many of us have witnessed and never spoken about... okay, maybe we did speak about it but no one believed us! Reddit user OvertOperation asked others a simple question. "What's the most creepily intelligent thing your pet has ever done?" The community did not only answer the question... but answered it using the best and funniest stories we just had to share! 

We just love this twitter account, Fluff society, where pet owners share the cutest stories about their pets.   

We are crying here...

These stories about everyday dogs turning into heroes will melt your heart 

BriAnne Wills is a Brooklyn-based fashion photographer who moved to New York with her husband and two rescue cats. "Girls and their cats" is a photo series created by BriAnne as a way to showcase cat-owning women in a positive light. She's photographed over 180 women so far. Here are some of their stories.

It's important to remember that it doesn't take a lot of effort to do a bit of good for someone else. We often get so caught up in our own daily struggles that we completely forget that there are other people around us going through the same tumultuous adventure of ups and downs that is this crazy thing called life. Often it doesn't take much to improve someone's day for the better and just brighten things even a little bit. 

Doing a few kind things is even more important during times when hatred and fear looms, for only caring and kindness can overturn those feelings.

But I'm really just paraphrasing because, as always, Tolkien wrote it best...

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." -J.R.R Tolkien

These people's stories go to show how far something like a simple compliment can go in someone's life, especially when it's most needed and unexpected. Just little things people did that they still remember and that gave some color to their world.
