wholesome

The world, especially this year, is an absolute garbage fire of failure and pain. Between the election and the pandemic, we're barely surviving this hell. To make it all a bit more palatable, or at least to distract you, we've put together this healthy gallery of pleasant memes and tweets. We may not be able to pull a coronavirus vaccine out of our sleeves, but at least we can smile a bit while we wait.

Prepare yourselves for a cuteness explosion like no other, because imgur user hermesetas has shared their kittens with the world, and none of us were prepared. So tiny, so adorable, so energetic and happy. And what in the world makes our hearts happier than happy kittens in a warm and loving home? That's right, nothing. Happy kittens always make us happy without fault.

The internet has fallen in love with these awwdorable kittens, and you're about to as well. Because whether they're chill and snuggly or energetic and zooming around, these kittens are straight-up too cute for this world. 

Positive teachers that genuinely care about the well being of their students, as well as cultivating in them a legitimate passion for learning, are some of the most cherished human beings on the planet. As can be expected, a fair number of kids resist the idea of school, hitting the books, and keeping up with all that homework. Put the right teacher in front of them that can get them excited about the whole academic process, and you might actually end up with more stories like this wholesome gem from Raifa Rafiq.

Looking for some funny non-political content to help distract you from the overwhelming 24-hour news cycle? How about a giant dump of stupidly adorable animal memes? Doggos have no clue who's president and they don't care to know either. They just want snacks and naps. This is a pretty enviable lifestyle if you ask us. Take a break from Twitter for a minute to enjoy some 100% wholesome content.

There's no better way to start your week off than with the best animals that twitter has to offer. This... this was one long weekend, we know, so there really is no better time to look at wholesome, funny, and entertaining animal tweets. Time to cleanse yourself and your timeline with some animal content that's good for the soul because animals in any context are pure good. 

Even during a busy week such as this one, twitter users have found more than enough time to talk about their favorite animals. And we, just like every week, have collected those tweets for you. So yeah, we know this weekend may not have been the easiest, but we hope that some positivity in the form of animal tweets will make this week go a whole lot smoother for everyone. 

One order of sweet wholesome goodness coming right up! We know what you need right now, and that's a hearty dose of wholesome animal memes to help start the week off on the right foot!

We know, we know, it's Monday and the blues are rolling in on us fast but think of it this way, only one more week until Halloween! We can get through this week, just like all the previous weeks, together. Together with wholesome animal memes to help us get through it all. The power of memes is indefinable and we all know the power of animals is simply out of this universe. So the combination of the two, with sprinkled wholesomeness? It's beyond perfection. 

Each week, we bring you the animal memes that make our hearts sing and feature them here for you, in hopes they provide you with the same warmth. Enjoy! 

Sometimes, you just need some goodness in your day. Enjoy this wholesome and feel-good stories! 

Istanbul's Aslan Park is home to two big cats who have become best friends. A white lion called Pamuk and a Bengal tiger called Toby who are both only 18 months old have taken over our hearts with their adorable friendship. When they were just  four months old, the zookeepers attempted to separate the cubs, but the cubs had other plans. 

Daily News reports that Gökmen Aydın, the general par manager, said: "We wanted to separate them as both belong to different species. Then we realize uneasiness in animals. We started to think about the cause. When they got together later, we saw that they want to stay with each other. They became friends within four months," and we just can't help but awww.

Pamuk and Toby sleep most day, like all cats do, but they play together a lot and absolutely hate being separated for any reason whatsoever. "They sometimes sleep while hugging each other," added Aydın, and okay, que some more awws right about now. We wish them a long friendship even as they grow older and as much happiness as they have in general. Their story brought us immense happiness for sure. 

Check out pictures of Pamuk and Toby together below! And if you're interested in more happy friendships between species, take a look at this Pitbull and rescued fox cub who are total BFFs.

When the world's countless problems wear us down and our faith in humanity starts to erode, it's good to acknowledge and remember the random acts of kindness carried out by our fellow humans throughout the years. Even the tiniest little shows of compassion can affect someone's life in a huge way. These examples of humans being good inspired us to get our heads out of our own asses once and a while and exercise empathy towards others as much as possible. Try not to get a little choked up (we swear we didn't). 

Welcome to your weekly prescription of the cutest cute the internet has to offer! The cutest animals and their wholesome adorable ways, what more could a person want in this world? We don't need any more than that. 

Last week's prescription is almost out so it's time to refill and refresh your mind and soul with some pure animal goodness! Side effects might include deafening aww's, a melting heart, and possible cuteness overload. 

Get yourself ready to dive into this week's dose of cuteness segment, all for your viewing pleasure! 

People from everywhere can come together even when they don't know each other, and are down to help complete strangers in need. It's not that hard to make people's day, as evidenced by this Tumblr thread about a chaotic good barista.

There are times when we look at a picture and straight-up have to pause. Our head tilts, eyes squint, and we wonder what in the world happened to lead this cat to get up onto an umbrella. There's no way to know, of course, since sometimes, all that we have is the picture. So, we are left with having to come up with our own story, and stories about these kinds of amazing pictures can never be covered in anything less than 1000 words. 

As animal lovers, these kinds of pictures are our favorites, because there is nothing that we appreciate more than a creativity boost, and these pictures deliver inspiration like nothing else we've seen. And so we made it a mission to find these kinds of pictures every single week and share them with you so that you may enjoy some of that creativity and inspiration as well. 

There are certain pictures that, when you look at, you feel absolutely speechless. Those pictures, a lot of times, are the most incredible ones. They make you think, they make you wonder about all the details that led to that weird, funny, beautiful, or simply wholesome moment. And words, even 1000 words, are not enough to describe them.

Those kinds of pictures are some of our favorites because they truly get our imagination running. So, every single week, we bring you a new collection of pictures like that in the hope that they inspire you as much as they inspire us, that they give you the creative energy that we all thrive on. 

Fun tip for this week's list: not everything that is a leaf is a leaf. 

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! 

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. 

We know, it's Monday. And even worse, Halloween is officially over. But fear not, Thanksgiving is coming up and then before we know it, it'll be the holiday season! There are still things to look forward to! And these weekly wholesome memes is just one of those things. 

Mondays are tough enough as they are so we like to provide you with a wholesome pick-me-up to help you start the week off on the right note - with a smile on your face. 

Wholesome memes have the power to bring us all those good feels and animals already do that on their own. When you combine the two, magic happens. If you need more of a wholesome boost to get you through this week, take a scroll through last week's pick-me-up!
