If You’re Feeling Down, These Adorable Animal Photos Will Brighten Your Day (Check Out The Corgi’s Smile!)
Whether a day is good or bad, it always gets a little better with the presence of a fluffy, loving little friend. Of course, those who don't feel equipped for the responsibility of pets can still enjoy their utter cuteness.
Indeed, that gets so much easier when pet owners the world over are nice enough to share the cutest photos of their precious little companions with the internet. Fortunately, we have a particularly heartwarming batch of uplifting happiness and adorable grumpiness alike.
There's Nothing Like A Cute Little Puppy
As Reddit user Twinkle_drift66 explained, her best friend had recently welcomed a new puppy into their family, which makes her proud to be an aunt to this "little ball of cuteness!"
Some little dogs have a way of overwhelming people to the point of tears with how inherently adorable they are and this little fellow probably gets that all the time.
The World's Most Polite And Orderly Cats
People often compare difficult tasks to herding cats but it seems like that may actually be feasible with these ones, as they're happy to stick to their own little parts of this multi-tiered tower.
There wasn't a better time to take a picture here, either, as the only one who isn't wistfully looking off to the side is the fourth cat peeking over the top.
A Little Cutie With A Surprisingly Disputed Age
When Reddit user New_arrival_ posted this photo of a doe-eyed little kitten, they happily said, "Yeah, she's only 11 days old."
However, commenters seemed to dispute this, with one frequent foster carer estimating her age at four weeks or more. However, they could all agree that she made their hearts melt.
A Heartwarming Walk Down Memory Lane
This adorable little puppy with the endearing floppy ear is named Kaiju but she doesn't quite look like this anymore. Instead, Reddit user pillow_talk_00 explained that she was crying while going through the dog's baby pictures.
Not to worry, as Kaiju is still with us and about seven-years-old. It's just that it's hard not to get emotional when you see how fast they grow up, especially when it involves such overwhelming cuteness.
That Cat's Not Letting Go
Some animals are known to get a bit of separation anxiety when their human friends have to leave the house, and Miso the cat appears to have decided that whatever Reddit user Koffievos is about to do can wait.
Of course, the uploader loves the kitty dearly, so they decided to be a little more charitable about what's going on here. As they put it, "Miso is bravely protecting me from my pair of pants."
Cats May Not Like Water But A Lot Of Dogs Do
While dog owners will often say their goofy pets manage to look regal and dignified in photos, the fact that this one can look like that while playing in the water suggests that's probably what it's like.
This handsome dog also looks to be of a pretty advanced age, meaning that's likely soothing itself in this river instead of frolicking.
Apparently, This Cat's Looks Can Be Deceiving
At first glance, this cat looks like the sweetest and most innocent creature in the whole wide world. Yet, while that may be true to an extent, it seems this cat is a little similar to Puss N Boots.
Just as the feline swordsman in Shrek can turn on the charm when he needs to, the image's uploader attests that this one is an "extraordinary" hunter.
Everybody Loves Dumpling
This dog is undeniably cute but its large, expressive eyes also make it look like such a sweet and friendly little dog.
Dumpling here looks like its wondering why there's a camera pointing at it but the world couldn't admire the pup's floppy ears without it. It didn't take long to gain some admirers.
This Is What True Companionship Looks Like
Although it's true that dogs will sometimes stare at their loved ones for seemingly no reason, Reddit user highly_uncertain knew exactly why Philip here was lavishing so much attention on them.
They explained that they were having a particularly depressive day, which Philip quickly noticed and refused to let the uploader suffer alone. That makes this a stare of pure love and comfort.
Cats Love Taking Space On Beds But Especially This One
It's very sweet to see this cat sleeping peacefully but it's also a perfect example of the seemingly impossible phenomenon of small cats stretching so much out on beds that their owners can't comfortably lay in them.
While that's true of this queen bed, it's a little easier for the cat to take up room than usual. That's because it's a Maine Coon, perhaps the largest domestic cat breed a person can get.
Adorable At Any Age
When this little fluffy ball of love was a kitten, it had such big expressive eyes that only made its tiny body all the more endearing.
Although it's still very much a lovely cat and its earnest, serious face is adorable, it looks like far more time passed between these photos than it actually did. These pictures were only taken two months apart.
A Nervous, Bug-eyed Cutie
Regardless of how they actually feel, some animals have a way of always looking scared or otherwise anxious. In cases like this, it only makes people want to hold and cuddle with them more.
Due to the appearance of this dog's eyes, this image's uploader joked that if they didn't have the world's cutest dog on their hands, they may have a specimen of alien life instead.
There Are More Lovely Animals Than Just Cats And Dogs
Although these colorful, beautiful birds aren't strictly anyone's pet, Reddit user Ashamed_Net2592 did notice that at the very least, they're somebody's little friends.
As they put it, "Some cuties I saw on my walk today. Someone leaves food out for them." Indeed, it's hard to imagine the person who wouldn't encourage more visits from these magnificent creatures.
Sleepy Kitties Are Always So Adorable
This is Mantou and according to Reddit user respon_ai, he's a certified clingy baby. Whether they're reading a book, going to bed, or even going to the bathroom, this little guy wants to be involved.
As such, it's a good thing that cats spend so much of the day sleeping. Not only does he look absolutely adorable doing it but it seems to be the only way the uploader can get anything done.
A Portrait Of Pure Sweetness
Considering how small, overwhelmingly cute, and sweet-looking this little dog is, Reddit user Tychus_Balrog had every reason to look so excited when he first brought her home.
While her fur is a little fluffier and her body has grown a bit larger, she still looks so cuddly and incredibly adorable.
The Only Way This Dog Could Have Become Cuter
Sometimes, light passes through our windows in such a specific way that it makes a little rainbow inside our homes. It's always a pleasant surprise but moments like that don't get more fortuitous than this.
That's because that rainbow happened to shine on the face of this sleepy dog, and particularly added color to his floppy ear. The owner joked that he's magic.
One Of Life's Little Mysteries
It seems that no matter what kind of plush, comfortable and expensive beds a person gets for their cat, that cat is far more likely to want to curl up in a cardboard box.
Indeed, that's exactly the preference this big boy has. Once this image's uploader brought this small box home from Costco, the cat decided it was his new bed.
A Familiar Looking Mix
Although pit bulls are certainly a controversial breed, so many pit bull owners will passionately attest that their sweet dogs are unfairly maligned. Whoever bred Tank here appeared to agree, as they were able to get one of those dogs to mate with a dachshund.
As a result, people couldn't help but notice how much Tank looked like Scooby Doo. Unfortunately, he can't talk like the famous cartoon dog can.
It's Nap Time For Everybody
Since cats sleep through so much of a given day, it's not too difficult to get adorable moments like this when all of the cats in the house are resting together.
It's also funny what kinds of positions they can get in to do that, as the tiniest little black cat is perched on the back of the couch, legs hanging over the edge. One wouldn't expect that to be a comfortable position but it seems to do the job.
This Little Mischief Maker Is Always Up To Something
Although it's unclear where this dog got that scrap of paper in his mouth, it doesn't seem like unusual behavior in the uploader's eyes.
If their words are translated from Spanish, they describe the dog is both very naughty but well-behaved. That may seem like a contradiction but it seems to imply the dog is sweet-natured but too curious for his own good.
This Cute Cat's Got Some Respectable Longevity
Just like among humans, one can typically tell how old an animal is by the amount of gray hairs in its fur.
That said, animals can also be like humans in that some will look uncannily good for their age. In this case, there aren't quite enough of them in this cat's fur to assume that it's 15-years-old but that's the truth.
Some Dogs Really Do Think They're People
Although it's hardly uncommon for a dog to sleep on the same beds as their human companions, they normally do that by curling up over the covers by their owner's feet.
In this case, however, the dog appears to literally go to bed like humans do. From the looks of it, she's also about as reticent to stop sleeping and start the day as people.
Is She Startled Or Does She Just Look Like That?
This is Zoé and as a worker at her former shelter reported, she is now happily in her forever home. She definitely seems like an alert cat but it sounds like she's not as nervous as she looks.
As the uploader put it, it only took two days to get comfortable in her new home. So, either she just looks this startled all the time or this was taken earlier than that.
That Smile Can Make Any Day Brighter
It's hard to find a breed that expresses their happiness more than corgis and it's absolutely heartwarming every time they do it.
That big, goofy smile can feel soothing on even the worst days. On the good days, it's just another reason why the day went so well. What a little cutie!
A Handsome And Distinguished Host
Although this cat looks very cute and dapper in a bowtie, this isn't usual attire for the little one. Anyone who has a cat would likely respond, "No kidding," given the struggle it often takes to put something like this on.
However, it seems that this household is having dinner guests, so the cat looks appropriately fancy to greet them. Now that's a warm welcome.
It's Always Nice When A Dog Likes Its Costume
Considering the name, it's pretty easy to believe that this cute little hot dog outfit is one of the more popular costumes a pooch can have.
In this case, it's popular with the dog itself as well because little Paisley here is pleased as punch about being a hot dog. Her excitement is so infectious.
This Cat's Environs Make It Even Cuter
Although cats mysteriously seem to prefer cardboard boxes to anything, they may deign to rest inside the little beds built for them if one isn't around. And it's hard to find a cuter bed than this.
It's essentially a tent for the black cat in your life and while it's certainly cute, it can't compare to the beauty of the cat staring back at the camera from inside it.
He May Not Seem Like A Big Boss But The Dish Disagrees
Although this bunny looks as innocent and timid as they typically do, he's apparently known as Big Boss in his house. Today, we find him on a special but adorable occasion.
It turns out that this is Big boss's sixth birthday, which means he has a bowl full of delicious greens to happily munch on. Naturally, that's also the reason for the cute little party hat.
You Never Know What You'll Fall In Love With
It wasn't so long ago that the idea of keeping a pet rat seemed unfathomable for most people. Although it's still not the most mainstream choice there is, these rats are nonetheless becoming increasingly popular.
Photos like this make it easy to see why, as this lady of an advanced age has surprisingly expressive, pleading eyes. Even beady eyes can look sweet.
Dogs Don't Always Look As Friendly As they Are
Due to certain practices, it's not unusual for some dog breeds to develop pretty significant underbites. As a result, they can sometimes look like they're angry even if they're in a perfectly cuddly mood.
That seems to be the case for this little fellow, as its owner just affectionately called it their little buddy.
