Not much has a better shot of making us smile on the days we absolutely don’t feel like it than animals. Whether they’re our pets, our neighbor’s pets, random animals who cross our paths, or pictures we run across on the internet, they just make us feel better.

And of those pictures, I personally can’t get enough of the ones of “melted” pets – the ones that prove animals can absolutely go boneless when they feel like it.

17. I can’t remember the last time I slept this well.

Manatees are the cows of the ocean.

Is that bird a candle?

9. This literally looks like a cat-fur rug.

Not that we would condone such a thing.

And sleeps, obviously.

This would have made me laugh so hard.

I’m sorry but no this is not adorable.

1. One of these things is not like the other.

There’s something for everyone in the realm of cats.

They’re just like a toddler who doesn’t want to be picked up, right?
