We all have that one (/one hundred) weird name we call our pets. I call my cat "Bellybutton" sometimes, I don't know why or how it happened, but she gets it, the smart kitty. Well, apparently I'm not the only one who gives suuuper strange names to her adorable pets, and twitter has decided to prove it to me. 

It all started with one tweet by @eef_nestor that went viral that stated: "what I call my dog Spencer" followed by some of the most ridiculous names we've ever seen, names that put even my "Bellybutton" to shame. And twitter users jumped in, writing down their own ridiculous pet names with pictures to go with them, and a thread that started with one dog ended up an enormous thread with hundreds of replies that are all endlessly entertaining. 

You know how cats always go to places they shouldn't go to, always sit where they shouldn't, always act like absolute hooligans? Yeah, they've always done that. Apparently, all throughout history, cats have been walking around in important places, on important documents, leaving their kitty paw marks, and now, we have proof.

A twitter thread by the user @DannyDutch who collected all the pieces of evidence of how cats have been walking over our things for over 4,000 years has gone vial. People added their own pictures to the thread as well, and we found another few. Some other users also gave their own purrfect additions, showing that cats are still leaving their marks to this day. 

Tumblr, over the years, has truly had its moments. Some posts with over a million notes - likes, reblogs - have gone so viral, it seems almost impossible. Today, we've decided to treat you to some of the tumblr classics - those big, iconic posts about animals, some of which people still remember to this day, including us. And some of these, we've never seen before, and were caught so off guard by, it made us burst into laughter.

All of them are hilarious in their own right, and we can definitely see why they got as popular as they did. Be prepared for the kind of laughs that might make your belly hurt, and don't say we didn't warn you. 

Every dog owner has probably thought to themselves at some point: "my god, my dog is the cutest dog in the whole world." You're right, of course, to you, your dog is the cutest dog for real. A couple days ago, a twitter user called @verbalese decided to announce to the world that their dog is indeed the cutest dog, challenging other twitter users to come at them, and the rest... is history.

Countless people started responding to that tweet with adorable pictures of their own doggos, answering the challenge in a heartbeat, to the point that the original challenger conceded and said that they were wrong, that there are so many super sweet doggos, that the whole thread has melted their cold heart, and that they love (hate) everyone who participated. 

Honestly, the real winners of the competition are us, getting look at all these most adorable good bois. Going through this thread had us losing it over the cuteness, going like: "oh, he's the cutest- no, she's the cutest- no, he's the cutest- no, she's-"

When Twitter user, Kelly-Leigh Cooper (@kl_coop), accidentally spilled her cat's food all over the floor, she managed to capture his reaction, and that reaction has taken over Twitter. The priceless reaction of a cat who has just witnessed a miracle -- endless food. "So much food, where do you begin? What is the first move? Is all this really for me?" These are all thoughts we imagine are running through this adorably expressive cat's mind. 

Other Twitter users were quick to join the conversation and add just how much they adore the cat's mind-blowing expressions! Some users even began sharing their own experiences with overwhelming food. Others just couldn't get over the adorable cat, and honestly, neither can we! 

The people have spoken! They don't want much in life, all they want is Djungelskog. 

Djungelskog is a giant, jolly-belly stuffed bear found in IKEA. And people are in love. Which, we totally understand, who can resist that face? That teddy-bear size? Or that extreme fluffy belly that looks so perfect to sit against. 

Everything about Djungelskog screams love and comfort, so we get it. And we also now desperately want one...

Thank you to Twitter user @stargazeridiot for bringing this to our attention and starting this beautiful thread of tweets.

Reddit user, u/missmadimissmadi, shared a collage of items that her cat has "drowned" in its water bowl and it's nothing short of amazing. 

This cat has taken the most random items to submerge in the water bowl, from q-tips to fake eyelashes! Comments were quick to share some similar experiences of their own. 

All we know is that this cat is pretty darn awesome. 

A retired man has decided to spend time walking dogs at the local shelter, and sends his daughters pics of each dog along with a cute little bio. 

We've got two words for you... Heckin. Wholesome. 

His daughter, Twitter user, @AandreaLleigh, has shared the text conversations and in doing so -- started a wholesome Twitter thread filled with good people doing good things. 

Oh, and a bunch of cute pup pics. 

While it may seem obvious to some to teach their kids to respect animals, others out there will simply allow their kids to unknowingly torrent the animals they come into contact with. 

When that is the case, it's completely unfair to blame anything that happens entirely on the animal. It's human nature to lash out if you're being used as play-thing instead of a living-thing. 

This Tumblr thread dives into the topic more. 

With over 13,000 retweets and 43,000 likes over the span of a few days, Twitter is having a mini-meltdown due to this mind-boggling optical illusion of a photo, posted by Twitter user @dancingfool75.

What do you see when first seeing the pic? Many users claimed to see some sort of evil horse-pig hybrid monster. Others saw a deformed or possessed goat.

We're not going to lie, took us awhile to figure out what it was we were staring at. 

Thankfully, someone shared the answer with users. 

We'll take any little moment of happiest there is in this world! When OJ, the pup, and his family, returned home after safely evacuating from the Australia bushfires, they came across a house of rubble. 

Amongst that rubble, there happened to be one survivor and OJ couldn't be more happy to see his favorite toy!

Thank you to WeRateDogs for sharing such a beautiful moment with the world. 

Here is a mini-wholesome thread about OJ:

It's not something we've ever noticed before but we're thankful someone did! 

Tumblr user, todaysbird, shared a series of pics of crows infiltrating other bird groups like it's no big deal. 

Perhaps, it isn't a big deal...or perhaps they're secretly expanding their bird army, by recruiting other bird species. Who knows. 

In the meantime, we'll be enjoying these random pics and act as if we aren't onto their ploy...

We know what you're thinking, one shelter obviously puts animals into a forever sleep, and the others don't. 

However, there's more to it than that. As Twitter user @hannahschramm4 shares in this important and informative thread. 

And even more importantly, if you're thinking of bringing a furbaby into your family -- please adopt, don't shop! 

Well, you should've been watching the food more closely. But can you really be that upset looking at those faces?

Twitter user, Steph Veerman, shared with the world a super wholesome story of the time her dad looked after her pet hamster. 

Steph's father is so utterly pure, this might be the cutest twitter thread we've come across in a while! 

Well...He asked for it :)
