Have you ever looked at an animal's expressions and thought it perfectly captured how you feel about life, work, or just getting through another day?

If you think about it, animals are more similar to humans than we have ever thought. Depending on the animal, the human feature they represent is the best, and it's hilarious to compare ourselves with them. So, if you're feeling a bit down and need some giggles to keep going, scroll down and meet some funny animals.

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

  • Have you ever wondered what's inside an animal's mind?

    I certainly have, and it turns out their thoughts don't differ much from ours. We humans might get caught up in a spiral of thought, but we have basic needs that must be met for us to have a proper day. We need a good night's sleep, good and healthy food, peace and quiet around us, and good relationships with people. Guess what animals need? Yes, the exact same thing. And what happens when we don't get enough sleep, or we skip lunch because we could leave our desk? We feel cranky and are upset. And… you guess it! Animals do too!

    Thinking about my struggles this way makes me feel better and helps me be more compassionate toward myself. If every species on the planet has to deal with the same basic needs, then we're all in the same boat. And what better way to confirm this than laughing at animal memes that represent how humans feel most of the time?

  • Of course, there's a huge difference between them and us, and it comes down to how much space we give our negative thoughts. We struggle to stop them and end up feeling anxious about the future or sad about the past. Animals, on the other hand, can't do this, and they only stay connected to the present moment. And that's something that we need to be observing from them, because in the present, in this exact same moment, there's no problem at all! The majority of our concerns aren't happening right now, and they are the ones causing us so much stress. 

    So, besides laughing about how animals can act like humans, let's also focus on how present they are and how much they enjoy what they're doing at the moment. If you give it a shot and try it for yourself, it will more likely help you stay in tune with your feelings and maybe live a happier life!
