It's no secret that being a pet parent is one of the most rewarding experiences we can go through in this lifetime. Being a pet parent means always having a furry bundle of joy that brings you inspiration, motivation, determination, and, well, you get the gist. Our pets have this incredible ability to make even the simplest moments extraordinary. Whether it's enthusiastic tail wags or comforting purrs, our pets infuse every day with a special kind of magic.

Beyond the small day-to-day joys, being a pet parent brings us a sense of purpose and responsibility. Our pets inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. Their carefree spirit encourages us to live in the present, embrace spontaneity, and find pleasure in the little things.

In the grand scheme of things, being a pet parent is the gift that keeps on giving. It's our perpetual source of inspiration, motivation, and unconditional love. With that being said, we present to you the motivation and inspiration behind Cheezburger's dedicated employees.

Mia: Kitty Cat of Mariel, Cheezburger Editor

via @cheezburger

Mia is a chonky, lazy hooligan who will bite your ankles for no reason in the middle of the night.

via @cheezburger

Although she's ridiculously smart and rules the household, she also occasionally runs straight into an unexpected wall.
18

via @cheezburger

If she doesn't get fed on time, she will deliver a very loud, well articulated speech about how hard her life is. She's silly, smart and endlessly sweet, and when she's happy, she purrs so loudly, you might confuse her with a tractor.

Everyone meet Mr. Leo, our beloved tripod pup! He is 3 years old and has 3 limbs, but that doesn't stop him from being the best boy ever.

Mr. Leo is as dashing and polite as they come. When we say he is the best boy, we really mean it.

via @cheezburger

In his free time, Mr. Leo enjoys crunching on cucumbers, bell peppers, and baby carrots because his body is a temple!

Coco was adopted from the street. She is super sweet, and talkative, loves to cuddle, and enjoys the sun.
24

Awesome was born in our house and he's been everyone's little baby ever since. He is extremely energetic and loves to run around the house, but will never pass up an opportunity to spoon when we go to sleep.

This is Ty! A little confused, a little lopsided, but cute as can be.

His unique personality and warm affections make up for his mental paucity.
27

via @cheezburger

Just squeeze him and say BABY.
