tweets

Is there any real way of knowing if an animal is extinct or not? How do scientists make that decision? Those were the thoughts of one twitter user that went viral all over twitter, and we cannot stop laughing at the responses. 

Honestly, they're right. How can we know for sure? Some extinct animal species end up randomly being found in some places on Earth every once in a while. Who's to say that they're not simply hiding from us, totally done with all of our weird human shenanigans? They're probably messing with scientists just as much as they're messing with us, and honestly, that is one of the reasons why we totally love nature. 

Every one of us animal lovers, every once in a while, feels the need to know more - more animals, more about animals, the more we know the better. But we don't always know where to start finding these unique creatures. Well, let us introduce you to one of the most unique twitter accounts we've come across that showcases the most unique animals out there in all of their glory: @StrangeAnimaIs.

We could scroll through their tweets for hours and hours and constantly find some new strange but beautiful animal to admire. Nature is just amazing, and these tweets help us come just a tad closer to appreciating just how amazing it is. 

So... are your pets allowed on the furniture? My cat tends not to ask. If anything, my cat allows me on the furniture sometimes, since obviously, the bed belongs to her, and the couch belongs to her, and the table... you get it. In my naivety, during the first couple days that I had her, I tried to keep her off the bed for fear of crushing her itty bitty self, but she persisted, and she won, because of course she did. 

And apparently, my cat is not the only one with such purrsuasive abilities. Twitter users have been sharing their own funny stories of (dis)allowing their pets on furniture, and we're both laughing because relatable and crying because relatable. Much as we want to keep our pets off our furniture, we're apparently all too weak for them.  

Oh, cat lovers, you have made it through yet another week. Only Friday is left, and then you'll be able to have the purrfect weekend with all your kitty cats. No worries, just meowing and cuddling. And you already know that the only right way to start the weekend is to grab a cup of tea, a fluffy warm blanket, sit back and read through this week's best cat tweets. 

It's the only right way for us cat people, catching up on twitter's favorite murdermitten fluffballs and soaking up all the joy provided by these hooligans. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and that your cat will curl up on your lap for a minimum of 2 and a half hours during it. 

There aren't many things out there that put smiles on our faces as when we see a similarity between us and our parents. It's wholesome moments like realizing that your ears totally look like your dad's that remind us - oh yeah, we really are family. And with cat moms and dads... it's only cuter. 

A tweet went viral with two pictures of cat parents and their almost identical-looking baby kittens, and the internet's hearts have melted. Of course, a whole lot of other people also rushed to share pictures of their kittens and their cat families, and this is exactly the kind of wholesome content that we feel like we need today - purely positivity and another else. 

Listen, we know that trimming your cats' nails is something that no one actually wants to do. But at the end of the day, it's for everyone's good. Our chair and couches will remain intact, and our cats will be saved from randomly getting their nail stuck inside the curtain in the middle of the night and screaming their heads off. Trimming your cats' nails is also a much better alternative to other methods - like declawing. 

Still, no one actually wants to do it, and your cat most likely tops that list. So you gotta look for ways to make it easier, and Amazon is offering you some nail trimming bags that'll definitely (most likely) do the job. The reviews are hilarious though, and thank you to @rachelmillman for tweeting about it and bringing it to everyone's attention. 

Is there anything that makes you happier than when your pet shows you love, trust and affection? Personally, it's one of the things that makes me the happiest in the world. One of the best ways to see that love and affection, of course, is when your kitty comes to sleep in your bed at night. It's a show of trust not just from the cat but from you too, closing your eyes next to each other like that, and that only brings the two of you closer. 

Having your cat curl up next to you is one of the purest, most wholesome things in the world, but seeing your baby curled up with your cat might be even more cuter. Prepare yourself, the cat tweets you're about to see are so cute and heartwarming you might just get an inexplicable urge to immediately go hug your cat.

Time to warm up and laugh with fondness at how adorably silly our pets can be. 

We all know how much our cats love sunshine, and dogs' love for some warmth rivals that that of cats pretty well. But to what length will they go to get the warmth that they want? Every cat owner knows that their cat will find that one ray of sunshine in the house no matter where it is, and it'll take you about an hour to get all the dirt of your dog after it rolled around in the sunshine in the dog park.

But to have them turn on your SAD lamp on their own? That's a whole other level to get to to achieve warmth. And the following tweets will make sure that your heart is warm too.

There is nothing more wholesome and positive than a dog, that's just fact. They're happy and loving and always want to be by your side. And right now, we feel in need of some of that positivity, some extra pure doggo joy brought into our weekend, so we've collected for you guys tweets that are all about dogs and all about being positive. 

Stay strong, dog lovers, make the best of this weekend and don't forget to smooch your dog on the forehead, just because. And if this dose of doggo wholesomeness, click here for some more. 

Listen, no matter how good your intentions are, sometimes... weird things happen with your pets. Inevitably, your dog will eat something it shouldn't, your cat will get stuck in a closet, and your might forget your sleeping sugar glider inside your bra when you go to your urologist appointment. At least... @LizerReal did. 

Though she kept everyone updated on what was happening after she realized the little glider was in there in a thread that went viral on twitter, one can only imagine the stress she was under, trying to keep the adorable glider safe. Everything passed just fine, thank goodness, with the glider sleeping through the appointment like nothing happened, and getting back home safely. 

Lesson for everyone - double check that there are no pets in your bra when you leave your house. 

Welcome to Friday, everyone! The final day that you have to get through before you can spend the weekend cuddling your cats to your hearts delight, and it's time for all of us, cat people, to look back and recap the week in the only way that we really want to - cat twitter. 

No matter what happens in the world, you know that cat twitter will always thrive and that there will always be some new purrfect kitty finding its way into everyone's hearts (and into their timelines). And you know that we are here for you, every single week, colleting the best of the very best that cat twitter has to offer. So, enjoy this week's tweets and have a cat-tastic weekend!

Sometimes, the internet will pluck from obscurity a new star - a cat so cute there is nothing the internet can do but make it go super viral. This Siamese kitten is no exception. The original tweet about it has exploded and for goof reason. This kitten is so cute, you just want it to be yours. 

This kitten has inspired a way of people to claim that this cat is indeed their own (though it's not) and another wave of people to send insanely adorable pictures of their own Siamese babies. It's a cuteness explosion unlike any other, and we are overwhelmed in the best way. So, only look at these tweets if you feel emotionally ready to fall in love with yet another baby feline. 

Welcome to Monday, everyone! It's time to open your eyes and make sure that you wake up on the right paw. And we're here to help you with that. Because we know that the best way to start the week is with the most viral, most talked about, the best of the best of this week's animal tweets.

It's a treat for everyone. You get cute, you get funny, you get wholesome, and you get the weirdness that you can only find on twitter. So, enjoy this collection of animal tweets, and may you have a paw-tastic week, friends!

All pet owners understand that the change in work routine has come not just for you but also for your pets, and some of them have been adapting better than others. Our cats especially seem to have mastered the art of the zoom call. Whether it be by sitting right on our laptopns when we're giving a presentation or by staring the camera down and silently complaining about this could have just been a dang email.

A bunch of hilarious tweets went viral, showcasing exactly this beautiful cat phenomenon, and we cannot stop laughing about them. So, it's only right that we share the laughs with you too. Enjoy, friends! And have an amazing new week!

Time to learn and laugh at the time time, because when twitter decides to teach you something about dogs, it is bound to be funny. A desperate plea for information about dachshunds from a very confused dog owner went viral, and people replied in the masses, sharing stories about not only their experiences with meeting dachshunds and raising dachshunds but also actual information that'll teach you why these small pooches behave the way they do. 

This is the perfect thread for all of us confused dog lovers out there that want to learn but have no patience for it, because with funny viral tweets like these, you will not be able to stop reading even if you wanted to. So, enjoy, and next time you'll walk past a dachshund, at least you'll know why it's attempting to kill you.

Everyone, meet George. He's a 10-week-old miniature puppy who was homeless and had parvo, and now, he has a forever home. This adorable pupper is a fighter, having survived despite it being unclear whether he would or not. And not only that, but he has also stolen the hearts of tens of thousands of twitter users. 

His owner, @molly_knight, didn't know whether she was ready to adopt another dog after her previous one passed, but we are so, so glad that she did and that she managed to help save this adorable puppy. Her story is heartwarming, tear-jerking, and inspiring. It's the kind of story we wish to hear more, so if you have some of your own pet stories to share, come join us in our Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime.
