wholesome

It's been the Monday-est week ever. And the fact that it's only Wednesday is certainly upsetting but we are choosing to look on the bright side of things and remember that we are halfway through this long week and the weekend is within reach once more. 

It's officially humpday and we need something to boost our spirits, something to give us the energy to get through the rest of today, and hopefully, the rest of this week at ease. That's where we come in and deliver this lovely gathering of fresh and hilarious animal memes in the middle of the week. It's all for you. 

When the week feels particular difficult we feel the need to bring some laughter and smile to the mix, it helps us so we figured it may help you as well! 

Us humans take months, sometimes over a year to take our first steps, while many animals only ever take a couple minutes. But some animal babies are capable of even more than that, like these tiny totally safe-to-cuddle bear cubs who have already perfected the art of climbing trees at their tini-tiny age. 

It's an experience every tiny bear cub will go through at some point in their lives, and not only is it insanely impressive, it is also incredibly cute. So, take a look at these pawdoable bear cubs taking their first steps (up a tree) with their mommies there to help and protect them and enjoy your heart melting of cute. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Bubby, the 3-legged cat.

Bubby hasn't had the easiest life. According to a Facebook post by Exploits Valley SPCA Adoptables, the year was 2012 when Bubby first emerged in a stranger's kitchen. By then, he was already full-grown and already missing his arm and half of his tail. Bubby had begun to form a friendship with the man whose house he randomly showed up in. Bubby would come often to play with the man's cat, Seson, and when Seson passed, Bubby still came around to visit. 

The man loved Bubby and wanted to keep him but was unsure if Bubby already belonged to anyone, as Bubby was constantly trying to get outside. He determined that Bubby could not be contained. 

In 2017, the man sadly passed away and Bubbly entered the house once more after his death but never returned. The man's family knew just how much the man cared for Bubby and wished for him to be cared for after his passing, but without Bubby's return, they assumed he had passed on himself. 

From 2017-2019, life had been undoubtedly difficult for Bubby. In the summer of 2019, a man by the name Ray Pinsent, who knew the man and Bubby's close relationship, happened to spot Bubby once more. Ray knew Bubby wouldn't be able to survive long on his own, so he set to catch him. Ray went to the man's house, there were new people living there who were afraid of cats, and he pleaded with them to please open the door should she see Bubby and call him. 

The followed day, Ray's phone rang and he was told the cat was in the kitchen. Ray took Bubby's lifeless body to the shelter and the vet claimed that Bubby began to purr while laying on the exam table. As Bubby was recovering, his picture was posted online for any information and that is when the man's daughter came forward, emotional, and brought Bubby the dishes he used to eat out of when we would come for visits. She told the story of Bubby to a rescue volunteer at the shelter. Bubby was then adopted by that same rescue volunteer Sarah MacLeod

Bubby's new owner, fell in love with his sad human eyes and couldn't part with him so she took Bubby home writing, "Bubby purrs the minute he wakes up in the morning and as he goes to sleep every night. He's never asked to go outside once. He must know that he's home now, for good."

We're over the moon that Bubby has found the purrfect family that will love him forever. You can follow Bubby's journey on Instagram!

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Eric And Ollie, the Persian cats!

Do you know those times when you catch your pet doing something really weird and just have to snap a picture and send it to your friends? No explanation, no context, just a picture of your black cat staring at your new black cat figurine and having an existential crisis. Yeah, those are some of our favorite moments too.

Week by week, we bring you a whole collection of moments such as these - pictures with no context at all that you know there's a story behind, and that their story could never be covered in anything less that 1000 words. They're funny, cute, inspiring, and totally perfectly timed, and they are the best ones we've seen this week. So, enjoy and may you be inspired. 

Oh doggos... sometimes, we look at their little faces and just know - we just know - exactly what they are thinking. We've known them for so long, we know exactly what that 33 degree angle ear twitch means. It's part of what makes us love them so much- they just come off almost human in how expressive and obvious they are. 

Twitter user @BlairBraverman definitely thinks so. A twitter thread she made of the most expressive pictures of her doggos has gone viral, and so much love adorableness is pouring out of those pics, it makes our hearts warm. And it will do the same to yours.

So much cuteness in such a small package! When it comes to cute animals, we will always have the dosage you need to make it through the day, and hopefully, the week. 

Week by week, we scourn through the interwebs to bring you the cutest cutes we come across -- all animals, all the time. But once a week, we gather them all here for you in this complete package of ultra-goodness. The package comes with an array of different animals, big and small, and is blended in with impossibly adorable animal vids as well. 

It's the perfect cure to those no-good bad days. It's time for your refill, get in line and get ready! 

Not one but Two! Two happy rescue kitten stories by the same volunteer rescue group, and we are twice as happy. An adorable black kitten, now named Kevin, has been rescued from inside of a car engine in Ballymena. And the other kitten, a calico kitten beauty named Cotton, was rescued after getting trapped in an industrial site under a raised oil tank. Twice the rescued kittens, twice the good news, and twice the gratitude. 

The perfect cure for those tough days - Loffy Llama Comics. 

Meet the talented artist behind these adorably wholesome comics -- Chris Yang! We were lucky enough to get in contact with Chris and find out more about him and how 'LoffyLlama' came to be, "My name's Chris Yang, the creator of Loffyllama - a wholesome comic series featuring a blue llama. The comic's themes range from friendship, kindness, love to happiness, anxiety, self-motivation, and much more that are related to our daily lives."

Chris continues, "I started this comic series to help to spread positive vibes around the world. After going through some of the worst moments of my life, I've learned that happiness can be really simple. We often complain about how bad our lives are, but sometimes a good friend can really make our day a little brighter. This is why Loffy was created as a heartwarming and cheerful llama who always try to bring happiness to his friends.

Through simple illustrations that contain little to no text, I hope my cute characters can bring a smile to someone's face when he has a rough day."

We can confirm that these comics have brought a smile to our faces, we can only hope they bring a smile to yours, too! Follow LoffyLlama Comics on Instagram for more uplifting llama comics! 

When it comes to animals, no one has more love to spread than twitter users. Every day, every week, practically every minute, people tweet something new about animals, showing their love for the little creatures in many, many different ways. Everything from cats to alpacas and from funny animals to the most wholesome doggo meets baby pictures you've ever seen. 

So, every single week, since we know you love animals just as much if not more than any dedicated twitter user, we bring you the best, most viral animal tweets we can find. And we hope that all the positivity twitter has about animals spreads to you as well. 

Or tiny little animal friends have a tendency of getting themselves into trouble all the time. Pet owners and pet lovers alike know that. And though normally, it's little things like your cat getting its nail stuck in the curtains or your dogs getting its nose stuck somewhere because puepper just had to try to get that fly, sometimes, things get a lot more dangerous than that, and we have situations where animals truly need us to come to their rescue. 

Every single month, we cover as many stories as we can about these heroes- the people who put everything aside to save the little animals who've gotten themselves a bit too deep into the mud. And every single month, happily, there are too many stories to cover, so we make this little list for everyone, so that we can all give the most deserved appreciation to these heroes. 

It's always difficult coming back to work after a long weekend, and a full week at that. Luckily for you, you have us, and we have endless wholesome memes to help cheer you up! Wholesome memes in general do a lot of brightening for those gloomy, dark days. However, when you add animals to that wholesome meme mix, it's simply perfection. 

When you scroll through these wholesome memes, first thing in the morning, we hope it brings you not only happiness but a sense of calm and a great start to a wholesome week! If you need more a boost to get rid of those Monday blues, last week's leftovers were marvelous and deserve another taste! 

Another Sunday is among us and we're dreading the end of this fantastic long weekend! The one thing we aren't dreading is the hilarious and wholesome cat videos we gather up every Sunday to lighten the blow of the inevitable upcoming week. 

Each Sunday, we dig through the depths of Instagram to find the hottest, most viewed, cutest, and wholesome cat videos currently circulating the web. And each week, it's filled with surprises in the best way possible. This week, we have a handful of 'aww' moments, some moments that amazed us and moments that had us laughing. We believe this week's video collection is absolute purrfection -- a little something for everyone. 

Enjoy! 

A lot of us are still working and studying from, and we have a feeling that though our cats may have gotten used to us being home so often, they have developed true resentment toward these strange light squares that we keep staring into all day long. 

I mean, it's true, cats' strange obsession with laptops goes back eons, but now, they have a real reason to hate them and a more obvious explanation for their obsession to us. These warm laptops have been taking up all of our time, and we haven't paying nearly enough attention to our cats. And we believe they have all collectively come to a decision that, you know what? They'll be taking our online classes with us. Right on top of our laptops.

It's been raining cats and dogs lately and we're in the mood for an abundance of cats and dogs in the form of tweets! In the spirit of Thanksgiving weekend, a tweet dump full of cats and dogs is the ice cream on top of the pumpkin pie, the delightful topping to a wonderfully long weekend, which, we hope, you were able to see family, unwind and relax. 

Soon, it'll be time to head back into the real world once more but don't worry, we'll be here to cheer you with endless cuteness and neverending cat memes.
