The middle of the week is friend to no man, woman or animal. It is the both the high point and the low point of the week and is maddening enough to send most of us into a massive meltdown as we try and fathom how we are going to hold on for another half a week before we get to rest for a moment. But as per usual, there is good news.

The first piece being that you were smart enough to bring yourself here, where awwdorable animals rain from the sky. The second is that the cute critters in this collection have come for far and wide to help you micromanage your mid-week meltdown with their tiny paws. See, things are going better than you thought, or at least they will be once you are done scrolling through this list.

  • While it might not be obvious at first why anyone would willingly want to cuddle up with this camouflaged frog, we would argue that it is one of the best buddies for hardworking hoomans having a meltdown. Because when you cuddle this froggo, you too become camouflage, allowing you to virtually disappear for a few moments.

  • If ever there was a cute critter who was designed to be cuddled and nothing else, it has to be the puffball dandelion. It is almost as though this cute catto had spent years observing how hoomans interact with dandelions, and then made his own version so that we would interact with him.
