The right answer... either! Or preferably, both. 

However, we understand that people may prefer one gender over the other. And AnimalWised is here to explain the difference in adopting a female feline versus a male. They dive into the different "characteristics that differentiate male and female cats and if this has an effect on suiting your family and lifestyle, as well as ensuring you can give them the care they need."

And just remember, if you are looking to adopt, don't shop! Check out our weekly adopted faces for further inspiration! 

This may be the shortest video we've ever featured, but it's too important not to share with you! The absolute careless bliss and wholesomeness! 

And for all those who believe in spirit animals, we believe we found you another wonderful contender! This lazy, or simply happy, sheep is laying in a field of grass... and eating, as it lays. So much simplicity and beauty in these 9 seconds. You can almost see the sheep smiling as it eats. 

Why wouldn't it? We're smiling watching the sheep smile. And we hope you're smiling at the sheep's blissful state and adorable smile.

Looks like Bailey, the Golden Retriever, has a new furry friend in the house! A new kitten named Simon! 

How will Bailey react? Seems like Simon is already seizing him his terrority... such a cat move. 

This is amazing! Thank you to those who rescued these gorgeous animals who have been living the past 8 years in tiny cages. 

Now, they get to experience some tender, love, and care! In all forms, health and overall quality of life. 

Just imagine, 8 years of living your life in a tiny cage and one day, you're taken to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa -- it's a dream come true for Tarzan and Tanya! 

Get ready for some feels! 

Our latest "How to Cat" lesson is here! And never fear, we have the purrfessionals to guide us through this one! 

It's crucial to study up so you know just how to train your human! 

In this lesson, we'll study how to activate and use your different "levels of cuteness" to your advantage. 

Whether you "accidentally" knocked over the vase, or just took a little nibble from their sandwich, or even when you oh so gently pushed the coffee cup to the floor because you weren't sure it would break or not... anyways... all those things can be easily forgotten when you follow these few steps! 

We could all use some "aww"'s these days and even some genuine laughs. What better way to achieve that than a compilation of adorable cats doing adorable things with their favorite humans?

We can't enough of these furbabies! People may think cats to be nonemotional and uncaring -- show them this video. They couldn't be more wrong. 

Get ready for 10 minutes of pure love and happiness! 

Water fountains are an ingenious invention for cats. Cats love running water, they love fresh water so a running water fountain? Seems full-proof, right? 

Well, maybe not. I cannot tell you how many fountains I've purchased for my cat who seems so have no problem drinking from a lid that's gathered dirty water but somehow a fresh-running fountain is the epitome of evil.

These two cats, however, seem to not be as terrified of the object as my cat. What is your secret, Walter Santi?

There is a new object in the house and each cat is taking a different approach.

Whoever said that hippos can't be graceful? Seems like Disney had it right in Disney's Fantasia! Those hippos can absolutely move with the grace of a ballerina! 

Turns out, hippos can do whale jumps too! Watch Hippo Fiona go crazy in their outdoor pool and celebrate with some joyful jumps. 

It totally makes sense now that whales are the closest living relative to hippos. You'll see. 

Kittens seem to always grow so fast! And it almost feels like they jump from kitten to young adult instantly but there are several stages a kitten goes through before reaching that point! 

From newborn to just 8-weeks-old, find out how kitten grows!

"In this adorable and information-packed video, I'll teach you everything you need to know about how to determine a kitten's age, what developmental milestones to expect, and how to care for kittens week-by-week from birth to adoption age!" - Kitten Lady

Thanks for the information (and cuteness), Kitten Lady! 

This is just so precious, our hearts are about to burst! 

If you're watching this video, you can just tell how happy this mama cat is to be with her kittens -- her meows,  and constantly grabbing them and grooming them! She's so proud and so in love with them.

Awwweee! It's almost too much cuteness for us to bear! 

Okay, you might be thinking -- 21 minutes?! I'm not sitting through that! 

But we promise every minute of this fantastic and elaborate video is worth watching. If you don't know who Mark Rober is, and you enjoy watching a mix of scientific-education and downright awesomeness to the max -- you got to check out more of his videos! 

In his newest video, Rober has decided to create the ultimate ninja warrior-like obstacle course for the squirrels in his backyard. Don't worry, the obstacle course is squirrel-friendly and Rober does a wonderful job of explaining it all! 

The end goal for the squirrels? Delicious nuts, of course! You'll laugh and be in amazement and full wonderment for 21 minutes, so why not take a break from this world for a moment and dive into some crazy (and really cute) squirrel action? It's more nuts than we could've imagined.

Lera, the Maine Coon, had kittens back at the end of 2017, and sometimes, we like to just watch simple videos such as this one. 

A simple video of a mom and her babies, two minutes of purity and simplicity. Who needs more than that? 

This mama is carefully watching her playful kittens, and talking with them. How we wish we could understand, but we do know whatever she is saying, it's coming from a place of love. 

This lovely and fierce lioness was separated from her pride for 3 days, and on the third day, she came across a pack of lions. Unsure, she slowly walks forward.. then you see the moment of recognization has come to all the lioness's present and it's a beautiful reunion. 

So happy you found your family, beautiful lioness! 

This video was taken near Skukuza in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Do you know what's cuter than one kitten? Seven kittens. 

Seven kittens, aged between 3-4 weeks, all meowing at once! Be still our beating hearts -- there's only so much cuteness we can handle! 

And yes, this video is a bit old but who can blame us for wanting to reminiscence and watch a video that brings the smiles?

Here are 2 minutes of pure magic and love. 35-year-old Motuba, a gorilla at the Philadelphia Zoo, is seen here wrestling with his two-year-old son, Ajabu. 

Did you know what when a gorilla has its mouth open and shows only the lower teeth, it's in a playful mood and inviting to play? Pretty interesting! 

In the video, both father and son are in "play" mode, as they have their mouths opened slightly to indicate so. However, even more so, you can just see the pure love in Motuba's eyes as he watches over his son. 

We're feeling the love from this amazing dad, how about you?
