Another week is about to start with an itty bitty dose of tiny animal cuteness!

Listen, there is not a lot that we need in this world to make us happy. We are simple people. We know that there is a whole lot that we cannot control. We try not to think about it. We try to focus on only the pawsitive thing, the things that matter, the things that are actually good for our mental health. And one of those things is exactly what you are here for. Really, baby animals may be small, but the amount of joy that they bring into our lives is beyond massive.

That is why we update this segment every single week, bringing you new and pawdorable baby animal pictures to scroll through every Sunday morning. Because we just don't get sick of it. It doesn't matter how many precious baby animals we see, online and in the real world, they always make us smile. It's something so small, so simple, so available and loved, that we just can't help but want more of it. And we know that you guys feel the exact same way. We hope you enjoy this collection, friends, and that you have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

We will never ever get over how adorable kittens are. And we mean all kittens. There is a reason why we say that we will one day meet our doom and end up on the news for trying to pet something that we shouldn't. Because look at this thing. Look at how tiny and precious it is. The momma cat would probably scare us. Maybe we would not try to pet her. Maybe. But this little guy? If we came across him somewhere out there in the wild, the chances of us doing something that we definitely should not would be around… 100%.

And then there are bears. This has to be one of the most infuriating animals out there. And it is not even their fault. It's ours! For some reason, we have decided that the animal that best represents hugs is also one of the ones that is likely to have us meet our untimely demise very, very quickly. And it upsets us. It does. Because we cannot help it. When we look at these pawdorable bears, all we can think about is hugging them. Despite the fact that we totally know that we should not. It's impawssible not to think about it.
