animals

Who is ready for their weekly prescription of cuteness? We know we are! Science tells us that looking at pics and vids of animals can relieve stress and we 1000% stand by that. How can you not believe it? Every time we see a gallery of cute animals, our hearts are at ease, it's a beautiful moment of inner happiness. 

Week by week, we bring you that tranquil feeling in this cuteness gallery. It's important that you take your weekly dose of cute to ensure inner peace. If you missed last week's dose, you can take it right now. The only side-effect you may experience is possible cuteness overdose. You have been warned, proceed with caution. 

The internet loves a good cute animal video, but you know what we love more than cute? Weird. To that end, we've assembled videos of ten different animals screaming their little lungs out. Sometimes it's cute, and sometimes I'm a little worried bathing cats really is animal cruelty, but either way I can't stop watching them:

This year (more than ever) it feels like we're struggling to find a smidgen of good news in a fiery garbage pit of tragedy. Every once in a while we get lucky, and today is one of those days. Over a year ago, Tumblr user gallusrostromegalus shared an incredibly wholesome (and incomplete) list of animals their grandfather brought home to their grandma during their 67 year marriage. The list is comprehensive, funny, and reminds us that kindness does exist in the world. 

It's also not the first time that gallustromegalus has gone viral for animal-related content. The hilarious antics of their parents dog, Arwen, caught the attention of many media outlets such as Buzzfeed. They're currently working on a book of family lore, but if you enjoyed this thread (and maybe the one about Arwen), consider donating to their Patreon. You'll receive more heartwarming content, and will be supporting a disabled writer who depends on their creativity to pay the bills.
