As 2019 quickly draws to a close, illustrator Mauro Gatti is highlighting the best news stories of the year and sharing them on the site, 'The Happy Broadcast.'

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. I am not a journalist or an influencer, but I want to use my art to spread some positivity. I want to create something positive as an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our media. That's why I illustrate and share positive news from around the world in the hope that it brings you some happiness and inspires you to spread some good news yourself!"

We're definitely feeling that positivity, Gatti!

The Weird Facts website is all about bizarre facts and stories we probably didn't know. So expand your knowledge with these 13 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! I suppose it makes sense, as cats and dogs have been living alongside humans for a long time. 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! The next time something mysterious happens in your house, don't rule out your cat or dog as culprits. 

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! Some people really were either not remotely original enough, or way too original in an attempt to be ironic, which just resulted in their pets having really crappy names. But see what happens when a cat shelter is full of these insanely bad names for cats. 

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!
