stories

Week by week, we look for the most interesting pictures to present to you. Today, we have found an incredibly popular tumblr blog that reblogs some of the most thought-provoking pictures. The kind of pictures that hold book-length stories within them - ones that cannot simply be captured in anything less than 1000 words. 

From cows in bathtubs to kittens sleeping with turtles, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's eclectic collection of pictures that deserve nothing less than a whole essay. Maybe they'll even inspire you. Some of them sure are inspiring to us. It's fun to imagine the way this cow got into the bathtub honestly. Maybe its other cow friends are helping bathe it because it strained its ankle playing soccer earlier that day. Can you say for sure that this didn't happen? No, you can't.

A huge shout out to our lovely and caring 'I Can Has Cheezburger' users! All of your hearts are so big, we're incredibly proud to have you as one of our users. 

If you missed it, this week we asked our Facebook users to share a recent photo of their pet and describe how they came to be in their life. The heartwarming stories we received were overwhelming! Everyone's pet is so adorable and everyone's story is heartwarming -- it made it extremely difficult to select only a few. 

We love you all! Thank you for sharing these photos and stories with us! And if you missed out on the fun, follow us on Facebook to be included in the next challenge and have a chance to be featured on our site. 

Pets can be freakishly smart, to the point that makes you stop and think, "were you a human in a past life?" Other pets... maybe not so much. Some cats can even open up closed doors by jumping up and pressing down the door handle! 

Or how about those cats who can actually take care of their business in a toilet and flush afterward? Crazy! We've heard stories of cats and dogs who have saved lives before, and now it's time to hear stories from our lovely users! 

What's the smartest thing you've ever seen YOUR pet do? Share your stories in the comments and don't forget to follow I Can Has Cheezburger on Facebook to join the next challenge! 

Sometimes, it's not you who adopts the cat, it's the cat who adopts you. 

Here are a handful of stories in which cats decided to take matters into their own paws and get that forever home by force. And most of the time, it totally works. I mean, who can resist a cat that has decided you are their human? That's pretty freakin' special if you ask us. 

Cheers to all those who were adopted by stray animals! 

Oops! Turns out, animals are pretty intelligent animals and by reinforcing positive attributes, such as treats, they will likely do it again. For the treat, not for you. 

An AskReddit thread by user shoonpo, asked the community to share what they have accidentally conditioned their pets to do. The results? Gold, as always. 

Now we would like from you, our fellow readers! Is there something you've accidentally conditioned your pet to do? Share it with us in the comments below! 

In the middle of the night, cat owner Scott White was awoken in the early hours of Sunday to his cat purring and pacing about the room. Then the rescue cat, named Joey, even stood on his chest to get his undivided attention. 

Luckily, Mr White was able to recognize something was wrong with the way Joey was acting and went into the kitchen to find the entire room filled with smoke! The smoke coming from a slow cooker he had set hours ago. 

Mr White told CBC, "We went to bed around midnight and it was fine," White said of the Crock-Pot. "And then it wasn't fine when Joey found it."

Let's bask in the warm sunshine that is wholesome pictures. 

Let it soak into your skin and heart, and just let that warmth spread to every inch of you. 

It's what you need. It's what we all need. 

Animals seem to make the world a brighter place, a place where we want to find ourselves in 24/7. 

Thankfully, we have our furry companions to brighten up our days while being cooped up indoors all day... every day. 

Prepare yourself that quarantini (stuck-at-homemade martini) and prepare for some calming (and quite lovely) animal stories we've gathered from this past week. 

We hope it eases any built-up frustration. 

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 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!
