Cute is a subjective word used for describing small, pleasing and non-threatening features, typically found on people, animals, objects and even ideas.
It's cuffing season everybody, and you know what that means: time to find that special someone to help you survive the rest of the cold winter months. We get that dating is horrible and can be incredibly exhausting so we wish you luck - and cheers to you if you'd rather not deal with it at all and prefer to be single!

Baby chimps and puppies… need we say more?!
Jenny and Jim Desmond are parents to an unusual and very large family – over 20 orphaned baby chimpanzees. Their home in Liberia is rapidly becoming too small for this rambunctious troop of animals, so they're building a sanctuary in the forest. But before the babies can move out, they need to learn how to live like wild chimps. They need to attend a baby chimp school. And what's better than some puppies as playmates? Watch their unique story on BBC
Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Mr. Bagel the Chinchilla!
Mr. Bagel might be the cutest chinchilla on Instagram! And that's not solely based on his looks -- it's based on the fact that his owner takes photos of Mr. Bagel, often holding miniature props, that granted him the cutest chinchilla on Instagram!
Mr. Bagel is an advocate against animal testing and the fur industry. He's even partnered up with The Body Shop, in a campaign to ban animal testing globally by 2020 called, "Forever Against Animal Testing."
You rock, Mr. Bagel!
Meet Chestnut! The newest face that has been taking over the internet -- not that we mind in the slightest! I mean, just look at that adorable face!
Chestnut's smiling pics were uploaded onto Reddit, by owner and user u/ChazaySSB. Since then, people have been falling in love with smiling cat (ourselves included)!
And like most viral cat pics on the internet -- a new meme was born.
The meme format is definitely a wholesome one! With Chestnut telling dad jokes and smiling happily at the punchline.
Just a heads up, it's physically impossible to get through these jokes without smiling yourself. You have been warned.
If you're a fan of Chestnut and would like to see more, he's on Instagram!
Meet the ever-handsome orange tabby named Thor!
Thor was born feral, and is completely blind. According to TinyKittens HQ, it's a miracle he managed to live on his own, out in the streets, for the first year of his life.
Thankfully, Thor is now in some loving hands, and as TinyKittens HQ writes in their description, "we promise he will know nothing but love, comfort and a full belly from now on."
Thor has already gained 6 pounds, in their care, and even has a playmate named Nyla!
"His fear instinct is quite ingrained, so it might take some time for us to help him build enough confidence with humans that he doesn't try to run and hide. Once we have him in our laps, he is just loving being hand fed and having his ears and chin rubbed.
Nyla is keeping Thor company until she gets her spay and eye surgery tomorrow. She has one purrfect eye, and is very fearful in captivity, so we are hoping she will be able to return to her friends and family in our Happy Forest managed feral colony once she's fully recovered. As with all of our ferals, we will bring her back in if she needs further medical care or if she changes her mind about life with humans."
A huge shout out and thank you to TinyKittens HQ for all their incredible and loving work they provide!

Meet Jubilee, the husky who was rejected by breeders because she looked "weird," according to the rescue organization Husky House.
Jubilee is a Siberian husky with a unique and unforgettable bug-eyed stare -- which has since made her viral! Reddit user, u/critterwalk, share Jubilee's picture with the Reddit community, with the title, "This is Jubilee. She just happens to look like bad taxidermy."
Thanks to her cartoon-ish eyes, Jubilee was made into an internet star overnight!
Before her stardom, it was difficult to find someone to take Jubilee home with them, her caretakers at Husky House wrote in a Facebook post in her voice:
"Huskies are majestic looking dogs and I don't know why I don't look like them,I wish I was beautiful so someone would want me to be their dog."
If that doesn't hit you right in the feels, you might want to go to a doctor to make sure you're human.
Thanks to Jubilee's sudden stardom, her adorable face was being shared countless times and finally landed her a forever home!

This is the type of energy we need in 2020!
Reddit user, u/Handro, has recorded all the arm flops his cat made in the span of a year, and we don't know which part about the flops we love most!
It could be that that little head tuck every time or maybe it's the foot "ping"! According to u/Handro, "her head tuck + trust fall was the main reason I started recording her and made this video."
Thank you for sharing this magnificent year journey with the world, u/Handro!
