kitten

Nothing warms the heart quite like two victims of circumstances beyond their control, finding solace in the companionship of one another.

At 10-months-old Scarlette Tipton lost her left arm to cancer. Her parents desperately wanted little Scarlette, now two-years-old, to have the chance to grow up with a little kitten just like her; and they couldn't have found a better match. Meet Doc: a rescue kitten who had her right paw amputated following a car accident.

On Christmas Eve the two were united at a shelter in California. That very Wednesday, Doc had already been welcomed aboard as the new member of the family.

Scarlett's mother, Simone Tipton, told Love Meow that Scarlette "did notice that Doc had staples on her side and said 'owies'. I let her know that she had owies just like her, and she placed her hand on her side and just nodded. She recognizes that the cat has similar struggles as she does."

What's cuter than a kitten and a baby playing together? Nothing! This is the height of cuteness. Seriously. We've reached the limit. Unless you think these pictures of kittens are cuter. But when two tiny creatures unite to exchange some very serious business (pawty-cake), there's nothing you can do but sit back and say 'awwww'. Then maybe look at some hilarious cat memes. 

You know that feeling. When you really want something, and then you get it. Like you think there's no chocolate left but there's half a bar in the fridge. Success. You know what else is really great? These hilarious cat memes. Or these adorable pictures of cats. Or pretty much anything cat-related. There's nothing better than getting your daily cat fix, and you're in the right place. 

Well, who's going to be a bigger fan of yourself than you? No-one! Might as well accept that fact and get started on the fan mail and promotions for yourself...or you could just check out these cat memes and worship cats instead. Like everyone else in the world.
