Happy Humpday! We know it's been difficult getting back into the swing of things after the holidays, but we must. Luckily for all of us, and for you, we've come prepared with a mid-day snack to give us all the necessary energy boost to make it through today, and perhaps, through this week.

We like to gather crazy and wild animal memes for a mid-week relief on those tough to get through weeks... which have been quite often lately. And if we're not sharing crazy and animal memes, you can pretty much guarantee a dose of wholesomeness is coming your way. Both excellent mid-day snacks that simply provide different emotions.

We hope you're having an easy, breezy week thus far. And if not, we're here to help! 

Okay, Saruman's dog counterpart is seriously spot on. And so are a lot of the others! 

When Twitter user, @Coppertopmpls, came up with the brilliant idea to match dogs to different 'Lord of the Rings' characters, the thread went viral. And of course, it did because... what's not to love about a comparison between the timeless classic of LOTR's and the undeniably adorable dogs of the world? We consider this a win-win situation. 

What do you think about the chosen dogs for each character? Is there one that is a definite yes or some that you would suggest a different dog for? Let us know! 

2020 will forever be known as the year of the crafties. Seriously, even those who don't craft turned to crafting at some point in 2020. Whether that craft be painting, knitting, or baking bread (yes, baking is a craft), 2020 was the year that all human beings became so boring with existence that we turned to anything we could to make us feel again. 

And crafts really did come through for us in 2020, it gave us a feeling of accomplishment which we all needed. And there's no crafting include that doesn't include animals wreaking havoc, or crafts, especially for animals. And if you did do crafts that didn't include animals... well, let's just say it didn't make our list. 

We know that with the New Year comes new expectations but try to keep the crafties alive! 

Here's a story out of 2020 that no one predicted: a cat named Billy became a postman. 

Twitter user @zacharyking, in a thread that went viral, shared the story of how his girlfriend began corresponding with one of her neighbors through little letters attached to Billy's collar. It all started with Billy showing up one day with a little note attached to his collar, in which the neighbors that Billy apparently kept visiting said hello. Not thinking much of it, the girlfriend attached a letter to Billy's collar, replying to them, and lo and behold, the cat comes back holding another letter. 

The rest is history. The neighbors became friends, recipes were shared, Billy got an official postman collar - then lost it and got another one - and we are all endlessly impressed by this cat's work ethic. Read their adorable story and smile at one of the most innocently wholesome stories of the past year.

Welcome to the beginning of yet another week, animal lovers! We hope this year started off on the right foot for you, and that your return to life after new years will be a smooth, happy and easy one. Of course, to make your start of the year better, we have your weekly animal twitter treat ready and warm right out of the oven.

Because if there is one way to start the year right, it's with some animal goodness, and twitter always, always provides. This week, twitter seems to be extra excited about animals, with endless animal tweets going viral and making everyone's year a happier one. So, enjoy and have an amazing year!

Oh, twitter... you sure do have your moments. We can't say for sure what sparked these insanely viral tweets about an anteater. Well, other than anteaters being totally awesome and quite frankly, very adorable. But we are definitely thankful for the entertainment provided by them. 

So, thank you twitter, and thank you @WilburSoot for being the one to cause this craziness. We are always happy to give an underappreciated animal some of the spotlight that it deserves. 

Enjoy these hilarious sarcastic viral tweets about anteaters and have an amazing week, friends, and if you're in the mood for some more viral animal twitter, click right here.

Welcome to the very first day of this new year! You have officially survived 2020. Not only that, but you have found yourself in the purrfect place to start the new year - the best cat tweets of the week. Because really, is there any better way to start a new year than with cat tweets? We don't think so. And after checking out this week's tweets, you won't think so either. 

Cats are our everything. They've been with us through the difficulties of 2020 and will continue to be with us through 2021. So, being as thankful as we are to them, every single week, we celebrate our kitties by collecting the best tweets about them. And we promise we will continue to do so. 

There are all kinds of important Twitter accounts out there! For example, there are the wholesome 'Thoughts of Dog,' and 'We Rate Dogs,' but what about cats? 

Twitter account, 'Is there a cat in this movie?' is providing the public with very valuable information. Do you ever stop and wonder if a cat is within a movie or not? This account provides the answer, and a word to the wise, if a cat is featured within a horror movie, purrhaps it's best to stay away from that particular film. 

This Twitter account is very important indeed, if we're ever on the fence about seeing a film and then find out a cat will appear at some point, consider us sold! Thank you. 'Is there a cat in this movie?' for providing the public with such a valuable service, we are forever in your debt! 

In another entirely unexpected turn to 2020, scientists have discovered that... sometimes, octopus punch fish for no reason. Yes, The Sunday Times reports that "[o]ctopuses are ocean thugs that punch fish," and we are both incredibly surprised and also can't stop laughing, and when you see the video evidence of this, you won't be able to stop laughing either. 

Twitter, of course, lost their minds over this strange piece of news, with multiple tweets about it going viral and people having the time of their lives creating memes and sarcastically joking about how octopuses are keeping law and order in the ocean. 

They might be right though, who knows what's going on in this strange ocean world? Apparently, one of the things going on are octopuses finding fish. The more you know. 

It's Monday, friends, and that means that it's time for a new week. New week, new year, new opportunities, and a whole bunch of new animal tweets. 

We're hopeful that things will be changing for the better this year, for everyone in the world, but we know for sure that one thing isn't going to change, and that is that animal twitter is going to stay just as in love with animals as before and that every single week, we'll have a new collection of animal tweets to fall in love with.

And, you know what, animal tweets is one thing that we're more than happy to keep from 2020. 

Let's be honest, us animal lovers have a tendency to think that all animals are beautiful. There's always something unique and beautiful to find in them. Whether it's their size, a pattern of behavior, or something entirely different, animals are just awesome like that.

But there are some animals where it's enough to simply come across one of their pictures for us to have to do a double take, because even though we may not know anything about them, their looks are enough to amaze us. Twitter user @heisTactic has made a thread listing 10 animals like that - ones that are so beautiful, they are simply impossible to look away from. 

It's time to meet twitter's coolest gang of good boys and girls - The Golden Ratio! 

They are an ever-expanding group of golden retrievers (+ 1 Labradoodle) who will steal your heart in one second. They are floofy, they're best friends, they love cuddles, and they're so cool they even have their own fandom, which we have definitely joined. "The dogs are famous for their affinity for waffles and carrots, and can be identified by their allegiance to treat types," as their fandom page says, and there are so many of them, they're even divided into their own mini-gangs - teams Cronch, Roasty, Chaos, Foreign Object, and team Theif for the bad boys in the group. 

Their owners love them and spoil them to no end, and we love to see it. So, come fall in love with us. We promise, this is one gang that you'll definitely want to join. 

This twitter thread that went viral has taken "dog ate my homework" and raised it by 1000 to "cat ate my degree", and we think that there's a clear winner. 

Imagine, working so hard and so long for this poor piece of paper and then your cat deciding that it's its new snack. I would probably be as upset as @mamblonumber5, or how he now calls himself "guy *whose cat ate his degree". His outraged and unintentionally hilarious tweet caused other twitter users to chime in as well, laughing as well as sharing pictures of their own pets eating their degrees. Even the university reached to him in a tweet, so there's a chance he might get another one of these precious papers. 

Lesson learned: important papers shall be framed right away.

It's raining cats and dogs! In tweet form, that is. Otherwise, it's been relatively sunny. 

Once a week, we regularly feature the best animal tweets of the week and even the best cat tweets of the week. However, what about cats AND dogs? The original duo, here in tweet form! It's all the humor with a touch of purity. Cats and dogs may be classic bitter rivals but sometimes, when you place them together it can result in some real magic. 

Meet Memphis! He is a cat who was born with two noses and was rescued by @theoddcatsanctuary. Though he may look a little unique and different, he is not any less beautiful for it. And his message is just as beautiful as him.

"[S]preading the word that different is beautiful," the bio of his twitter account says, and we support that message wholeheartedly. One can only aspire to be as unique and memorable as this adorable guy. And his special needs siblings, who are also unique and beautiful, pose with him in pictures sometimes too!
