wholesome

You might need to prepare mentally for this next collection of pictures... because you're either going to be incredibly intimidated by doggos who are clearly smarter than all of us, or you're going to get weak in the knees because of all the cute. Dogs in glasses. Yes, they are 100% more intelligent than us. Why would they be wearing these glasses if they weren't? Duh. 

Dapper and absolutely adorkable. Some of them are even smart enough to give you their paw and let you shake their hand when you ask for it. What other proof could you possibly need of their genius? They even figured out how to use toilet paper as a toy. Like- they're basically Einsteins, all of them. And these cats in glasses too. All animals wearing glasses are inherently smarter than any professor. Obviously. Like we even need to explain that.

Today's unlikely relationships treat is cats with sheep. Cats have an insanely unfair reputation of being too unfriendly. People who don't own cats simply do not understand just how cuddly they can be. With humans or with other animals, cats tend to gravitate toward whoever is kind to them. Of course, kindness for cats is not the same as, say- kindness for dogs. 

Cats appreciate their space, they appreciate respect, they believe in being independent and treated as such. And they very highly appreciate floof. Floof is one of the ultimate things that cats are attracted to. And who has more fluff that sheep? So, while on its face, cats and sheep may look like an unlikely relationship, once you think about it, it kind of does make sense.  

Have you ever tried blowing bubbles at your pet? I tried it with my cat, and she... ran away, terrified lol. So, I haven't tried again. Curious, we looked into the phenomenon of animals with bubbles. And sure enough, apparently, some animals really like playing around with bubbles. 

They seem fascinated with the bubbles in the most adorable way ever. Or confused. Some of them seem quite confused by them. Regardless, even their confusion is something that we can't help but adore. Aww and smile worthy, we give you animals playing around with bubbles. And if animals being confused by aesthetically beautiful things is something that you're interested in, we have a collection of butterflies sitting on animals' noses especially made just for you.  

People of this world are in definite need of wholesomeness, these days.

Especially this year, and especially on Monday's of this year. Wholesomeness is a necessity, we need these moments to help navigate through the day and through life. It reminds us of the good in the world, and that's always something worth to be reminded about.

Week by week, we bring you the top wholesome animal-related memes just to bring some positive energy into your day and hopefully the rest of your week. So, if you're feely gloomy, we're here bring to deliver some light in the form of memes! Enjoy! 

With the summer ending, we have decided to celebrate the warmth one more time with a whole lotta kitties chilling in the sun. 'Sunshine babies' is what my friend likes to call them. Adorable little beings finding the warmest spot to soak up the relaxing energy of the sun. It doesn't matter where it is, whether on a pile of books on your desk, next to one of your windows, or if it's just one line of sun across your sheets, they'll find it, and they'll make the best of it.

They're the cuddliest when they're sunbathing. It's one of the best times to come to them and gently hug them and press our noses into their warm fur. And everyone loves cuddling calm kittens - adults, other cats, and even babies. So, let your heart warm by enjoying these gorgeous cats in the sunshine and have an incredible day!

On two separate days, two newborn kittens were rescued - one from a garbage dump and the other from a storage compartment. Herbie was discovered in the garbage dump a day before Pippi was found in the storage compartment of a pickup. Luckily, they are now being taken care of and are keeping each other warm in a Mending Spirits Rescue foster home. 

Though summer has officially ended, in many places, the sun is still blazing, and we're still too warm. It's even possible to still get watermelons in some areas. We have decided to celebrate the end of summer with you and with our kitties, eating and sharing watermelons. You may think that cats, being as picky about food as most of them are, would not want to eat watermelons, but oh, you would be very wrong. Apparently, some cats love watermelons, and we think it is absolutely adorable. 

We have collected pictures and tweets and videos, all of cats enjoying this delicious red summary treat. So, go get your last slice of watermelon if you still have it and enjoy these adorable summer cats. Cats aren't the only ones who love watermelons by the way, a bunch of other animals do too.

The blep. One of the ultimate expressions of cat cuteness. Right alongside a cat squeezing its head in their sleep. That elusive little tongue peek that is cherished by every cat owner. The moment we all try to commemorate with a picture, moving slowly as to not startle them, to not destroy this perfection, diving for our phones in slow motion as if we're action movie start scarifying ourselves by covering the bomb with our bodies. Anything. Whatever it takes to save that moment forever.

The belp. Some owners are luckier than most and have caught this moment. We are sharing these precious moments with you right now. 

Yes, we know we feature wholesome animals... a lot. But we can't help it! There's just so much animal wholesomeness out there that makes us happy so we're eager to share that feeling with you. 

There's something so special about animals, either they're doing something hilarious and cracking us up or they're doing the cutest thing in the world and leaving us with an endless "awwww." Either way, it's always a win-win with them and it's the perfect gateway into a new weekend! We can breathe, leave the old week behind us and finally relax. 

Enjoy this moment with some of our favorite furry friends! 

Time for some heartwarming dog transformations. Tiny puppies to beautiful fully grown doggos. In times of unrest, when we're all concerned about our health and the health of those around us, we think the best thing to make everyone happier is to watch these precious puppies grow up, content and beautiful, joyous to be in their forever homes with people who take care of them and love them. 

Some positivity is what we need at all times and especially now. So, smile and let these transformations fill your heart with joy. And we have some more heartwarming transformations for you to look at and smile, but this time, they're of animals before and after adoption.

What a gift animals are to humanity! They are the essence of purity and wholesomeness. 

Can you imagine a world without them? Nah, I didn't want to even try to imagine a world like that either. Our world would be so empty without their love and beauty. On the other hand, mosquitos can kindly disappear and I don't think a soul in the known universe would mind its disappearance. 

Getting off-topic again, these following adorable gifs have nothing to do with mosquitos and that's just another reason to love it so! 

Apparently, there's a theory that being groomed with a toothbrush reminds cats - kittens and older cats alike - of the way that their mothers groomed them when they were babies. The internet put it to the test, and... it seems like the theory is accurate. 

So, take a look at these videos and pictures of cats enjoying this strange activity. Some are hesitant at first, but all seem to warm up to it after a few tries at most. Incredibly, even the ones that really don't like being petted regularly take to it. Try it too if you have a cat. I know that I will. Maybe your cat will react in the same way. For more animal cuteness, we have some tiny baby dik-diks that'll just melt your heart.

Do you hear that? Sounds like happiness to us! It's finally Friday and we get to feature our user's hottest and freshest cat memes! That's a reason to celebrate on its own.

We're always in need of a pick-me-up and our go-to is animals. 

Animals bring a monumental amount of positivity to our lives, it's simply immeasurable. They provide us with comfort, with laughter, with so much happiness. We try to capture a small portion of that magic and deliver it to you. Sure, it's not the exact same as having animals in your life, but it does a good job of reminding us that there's still positivity in this world.

Possible one of the strangest cat habits - hanging out inside your shoes. It being a lil weird doesn't make it any less cute of course. It just might be one of the cutest things in the world to walk into your home and find your kitten sleeping inside of your shoe. 

It's probably the smell, and yeah, the inside of our shoes will definitely smell gross to us. But to our kittens, your shoes smell like you. They smell... very strongly of you. And if they like you and your smell, your shoes are the best place to get a nice whiff of that. They're basically showing their appreciation for you when they cuddle your shoes instead of you. It makes sense to them, we promise. 

It might also be the case that after you walk outside, your shoes actually lose some of your smell and possibly even smell like other animals, so when your cat rubs up against them, they're spreading their own smell on your shoes. Very possessive. In the cutest way. So, it's all good stuff. Weird, but good. Cats do have a habit of sitting in places they don't belong, but this isn't one of them.
