cute animals

As the states try to segue into some kind of normalcy by opening up businesses and encouraging people to "get out there" (masked or vaccinated) we're reminded of one blaringly painful fact. That we hate humans. Loud. Rude. Entitled. Oblivious. The moment we step outside or onto the train, the misanthropy starts bubbling over, making us wish we'd stayed at home. In these moments, it's beneficial to flat out pretend that humans don't exist. And with the sheer volume of animal memes on the internet, we know we can pretend for quite a while. They're so much better (and cuter) than humans. It makes sense they'd make better meme subjects, too.

It seems like animals always have the power to make us feel all better. No matter what you're sad about, a cute puppy or a little baby tiger will probably put a little smile on your face.

Warning: these memes are so heartwarming they might make you shed a tear. Or ten.

It's time for a big dose of serotonin in the form of absolutely precious animal videos. @animalsdoingthings is one of those memelords who must really love their job. They get to look at submissions of animals being awesome all day. Well we're certainly not complaining, because we could have easily just watched every video on the account! There's some really cute stuff in this collection we put together, like a duckling wearing a flower as a hat, a skateboarding birdie, and a dog breaking into a fridge, just to name a few. Make sure to check out @AnimalsDoingThings on Instagram for more amazing animal content. 

This one goes out to the animal lovers. The people who would rather talk to a cat that doesn't respond than answer their phone to talk to a friend. The people who get more from a fuzzy cuddle than a night out at the bar. These memes are for the true animal freaks like us. 

Life's bleak as hell these days. It's nearly impossible to find a reasonable antidote to all the pain and suffering. While therapy has it's merits, we also happen to believe that memes are definitely beneficial to mental health. Especially dog memes. These dopey canine jokes and tidbits are pretty much guaranteed to make you chuckle (lightly) or at the very least improve your mood. We don't deserve 'em.

As long as this complete sh*tshow continues, we're going to make a point to keep bringing you wholesome, uplifting content. Even if you don't think you need it, you do. Scroll down for a little something to make you smile - trust us, it's worth it.

2020 has been a terrible year, and humans have been at the root of a lot of it. Coronavirus. Gender reveal fires. Racism. Frankly, we're sick of our own kind. So we're here to show appreciation for our warm and fuzzy (and cold-blooded) friends. We don't deserve them, and they definitely make the world a better place.

Happy Caturday to all our friends who love felines! This gallery is filled with all the dopey, cute, and corny cat content you've come to expect from us on these celebratory Saturdays. As if we need a designated day to appreciate these sassy, moody, and sweet creatures with minds of their own.

Good morning, friends! In celebration of our favorite day of the week (Caturday) we've put together this mega-dump of cute cat snaps. They're the perfect way to waste time while also paying homage to our favorite feline friends. Best of all? They're hypoallergenic. 

The world is going up in flames and quarantine/lockdown ain't helping the existential crises we are already plagued with. Fortunately for all of us cooped up in our homes, Chats With The Void is here to provide some dark, existential and sometimes wholesome animal comics to keep us sane. If you like what you see, give 'em a follow on Instagram or Twitter. 

If there's one thing we can garner from both real life and the internet, it's that animals are absolutely better than humans. Frankly, we don't deserve them. As pets, they help us with hard times. In the wild, they both humble us and give us something to admire. And in these memes, comics, and shitposts, they're still able to lift our spirits and turn our frowns upside down.

As y'all probably know, we're big fans of web comics - especially when they involve animals. While we will always enjoy False Knees' sassy offerings, we are thrilled to have stumbled upon @pleumier's animal-centric comics on Instagram. The comics may lack the existential urgency of False Knees' screaming birds, but there's still some seriously unsettling truths mixed into the wholesome. We've put a ton of these tidbits together, but if you like what you see, give @pleumier some love on the 'gram. They deserve it.

There's a lot of bad in the world right now but let's focus on the good things, like animals! If you have your own pet then we're jealous. If not, we hope these memes can perhaps slightly fill that void for you.

Feeling down in the dumps? Losing faith in the world? If our wholesome meme listshaven't been doing the trick to cheer you up, we'd like to introduce you to the r/blessedimages subreddit. The community is a veritable Mecca of sweet pictures, most of them involving incredibly cute animals.They never fail to perk us up, and we're pretty sure these blessed images will become a part of your "feel better" repertoire.

Dogs are just so dumb and adorable. They love us unconditionally and are there for us when we're feelin' down. Honestly, what did we do to deserve them? Nothing, because humans are terrible.

Whether you've had the week from hell, or the year from hell, these sweet memes are sure to remind you that not everything is bad. From sappy texts to cute animals, this batch of pics has got something for everyone. Especially the softies.
