Well, that is it ladies and gentlemen. Summer has officially left us behind and we are well and truly into Autumn, and with that the weather has begun to turn and while the air conditioners of the world might be turned to their warmest settings, the outdoors is beginning to nip at your toes. And for that, we have these wholesome animal memes to warm your heart, and subsequently your toes.

The turning of the seasons is a time that is significant not only to us hoomans, but even more so for our buddies in the animal kingdom. This represents the limited time left that the hibernators have left to fatten up ahead of their big snooze. This is the time that foragers are collecting their final seeds and nuts before the big freeze. It is a time when we prepare to slow down for a few months in order to make it through the tough winter. So it only stands to reason that us animal lovers ought to do something similar.

So in that spirit we present you with this list of wholesome animal memes to warm your heart in the hopes that it makes the slowing down a little sweeter and gentler. Because this is a life that we share with our critter companions. While we might not always live shoulder to shoulder with them in this world, it is still shared between us and we feel the same changing of the seasons. So take some time for yourself and we wish you some sweet scrolling!
