This is so precious! We absolutely adore it when Airbnbs come with a surprise furry guest! Twitter user, @raycont, was staying at an Airbnb that had left them a note on the counter about Josie. 

Josie is the friendly neighbor pup! She is 15 years young and loves to pop on over for visits! The note was right beside a big ole' jar of treats for Josie and tells any guests to not be afraid of her, she is very gentle. 

Well, as note instructed, Josie did stop by! Twitter user @raycont documented the visit and shared it on Twitter, where it went viral with over 250k likes and 33k shares. 

Who wouldn't want to stay at this Airbnb and have a chance to meet the lovely Josie?! 

We've shown you Masayoshi Matsumoto's incredible balloon sculpturing talent before, and now we're back with more amazing pictures of his skilled creations. From famous cartoon characters to the cutest little animals, Masayoshi is the balloon extraordinaire you didn't know you need in your life. Scroll through and enjoy his creations! 

Introducing "Pig Cat!"

Twitter user, @tramL116, has introduced us to what he calls, "Pig Cat." A video of his cats, one of which eats like the world will end tomorrow. Taking giant bites of food, this cat is now being known as the cat version of the classic game, "Hungry Hungry Hippos." 

Twitter users were quick to chime in and write what may be the cause of the cat's behavior. And others simply shared more videos of cats eating like hungry hippos. 

Two things we know for certain: we love cats and we love eating. You do you, Pig Cat. But the owner should consider feeding the two separately so Pig Cat doesn't feel the need to eat so much, so fast. 

When Twitter user @AbriltheDuchess shared a story about her dog coco living in an apartment that was not pet friendly, it created a lovely thread of other users sharing hilarious and adorable stories about their dogs as well.

Turns out, dogs are pretty mischievous... who knew right? 

Enjoy the stories of their shenanigans! 

We've seen a lot of unusal interspecies friendship but can't recall ever seeing this particular bond...

A cat and a snake... friends? Weird, right? Weird but strangely really neat. That's what Twitter user and cat owner @molly7anne thought, too. After sharing a few images of her cat just basking in the sun with a snake, the tweet soon went viral and was flooded with comments and criticism (as always).

Here are a few of the most popular comments: 

That's a solid "nope" if we ever saw one. 

2020 isn't messing around is it? People around the world want to know who the heck is playing Jumanji and can they please finish it up -- quickly! And honestly, we're right there with them. 

It has been reported that "Murder Hornets" have been spotted in the United States. What are "murder hornets" you might ask? Asian giant hornets is an invasive hornet species that slaughters honeybees and can be deadly to humans. 

And while the danger to an average person is low on the level og concern, officials are concerned about the local honeybee population. 

Twitter user, @PhillyD, expressed in a tweet how we are all feeling about these "murder hornets."

But not today! With this dose, you'll get through this day and this time with a smile on your lovely face. Stay optimistic, people!  

One good thing that has come from this year, thus far, is the new cat tweets we've been seeing! 

Keep em coming, folks. 

Cats are pure magic and lift our spirits in these crazy times, why not share that magic with the world? 

Here are 18 fresh cat tweets as your purrfect treat! 

A major thank you to Twitter user @yesworryya for bringing this picture into our lives. 

It's exactly the thing we needed right now -- to search an image for a hidden pug. 

Don't spoil the fun for others though -- keep those comments free of any spoilers! 

Here are some of our favorite reactions to this Twitter thread:

This is some Grade-A wholesomeness right here! Seriously, it's doesn't get more wholesome than this. 

Bob Hayes revealed on Twitter that his 96-year-old mother has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and is quarantined in her nursing house. And in a beautiful and heart-filled effort to keep his mother's spirit up, he turned to Twitter. 

Hayes' mother loves cats, he reveals, and has kindly requested users to share images of their cats so he can print them out and hang the images up on his mother's nursing home window. 

We're sure he wasn't expecting the plethora of images that followed but we can only hope this spread endless cheer to his mother. 

The ICH team is wishing Hayes' mother a quick and speedy recovery!

2020 may seem like a really, really rough start to the new decade we were once so hopeful about. 

Luckily, we can always count on our favorite doggo to bring us a new perspective on things and make us realize... life ain't so bad. Just gotta be optimistic and perhaps take a lesson from 'Thoughts of Dog.'

You have all met Gideon, the adorable 11-year-old boy Behind the popular 'I've Pet That Dog' twitter account. With more than 366K followers, Gideon posts daily photos of dogs he met while always adding an amusing dog's bio to it.  

But now, amid the coronavirus pandemic, he had to make some major changes as he won't be able to physically meet those dogs he loves so much. 

A few days ago, his mother, who runs the popular page, posted a message to all his fans: "With all that is going on right now, it seems wise for us to stay home as much as possible," Gideon's mom explained. "But he is not giving up on his project", she added and asked them to send her boy photos of dogs instead.  

Of course, it didn't take long before the adorable canine snapshots started pouring in and Gideon could continue posting daily. But now, instead of actually getting a chance to meet all of the canines, the boy's posts are all about the dogs he "would love to pet." 

Good for you, Gideon! We will definitely continue to follow you, especially during these days. 

We are all very much amoosed by this adorable twitter account that posts one funny cow photo every day just in order to make everyone happy and let us tell you, we are so much happier after we have scrolled down the page. You should try it too.  

We give these reviews a solid 15/10, 5 points for accurately describing their heavenly encounter and 10 points for the cat pictures attached. 

Welcome to the Cat Reviewer! The Cat Reviewer is a wholesome Twitter page where users send in their daily encounters with cats, and rate them. 

It's great and there's really no other words for it. We love cats and we love reviews, so this is pretty much our purrfect combo. 

Back in 2018, there was a glorious weekend in which several zoos took to Twitter and with the hashtag #rateaspecies, zoos, scientists, and academies of sciences all aired their thoughts on their animals in the style of an Amazon review. 

It was a wonderful animal-filled weekend and we felt it was time for it to resurface, once more. 

We give these zoo rated animals a 4.2/5 stars and their attached photos a solid 12/5 stars. 

This just got funnier and funnier. Twitter user @Carmine_Deville shared a Twitter thread about what followed after her gremlin cat snarfed down a weed cookie. You better believe all kinds of chaos and internal mental crises were encountered. Fortunately, the gremlin was just fine in the end!
