It has been a tough one this week, though aren't they all? And with far more hours left to go until the weekend comes to free us from our shackles, we figured you could use some feline pawsitivty to see you through the rest of your day.

Certain studies have actually shown a link between cat purrs and pawsitvity, and while they hold truth they do not speak to the reality of having a cat as your child. Which is a reality full of far more clawminality and sass than it is of pawsitive moments. But that is why we have taken the cream off the top as it were in the feline-hooman relationship and brought you the very sweetest of smiling cat children to raise you up while you are feeling down.

So before you put your head down to try and make it to the end of the day without ripping your hair out, we hope you will find some comfort in this cute collections of cats. And more so than that we hope that these awwpbeat purr machines will remind you that life is so much more than the moments you are going through right now. That while the time spent at work feels long and languishing, it is a mere blip in your life's story and that the happiness you share with those around you is far more important than everyone. So dive in and emerge refreshed.

This happy guy really reminds us of that one person in the building that no matter what, is always smiling. Their pawsitvity is infectious and no matter how bad a day you might be having, laying eyes upon them will make you feel better about the world you live in. Alas, only a few people get to sit close to that shining beacon of pawsitivty, so you will have to make do with these smiling cat children for the time being. But we cannot say that they are a big downgrade from that upbeat colleague, for one they are cats, which he is not…

Much like being joyous and upbeat is a rarity in the work place, so is this wholesome happy cat child moment. So few feline pawrents manage to raise their feral felines to actually enjoy hooman creations such as strollers, harnesses and backpacks. But when they do, well, then you have some of the cutest and most heartwarming meowments amongst all cat children. So take this precious purrl of a moment and make it your own, be that unicorn in the office who has suddenly found a wealth of happiness to draw from.
