I don’t understand people who don’t like animals. When I’m in a bad mood, nothing cheers me quite as much as fuzzy-belly therapy. I’m a cat person (obviously), but I love all fuzzy critters (“hairless” cats aren’t so fuzzy, so I remain a bit creeped out by them). Of course, my fuzzy-panted friend has me trained to entertain him as well, as seen in the video.

And when Senor Pantalones isn’t available (or is in a crabby mood himself), there’s the Internet. So here I present some cute and fuzzy animals. Don’t worry, Cute Overload, I’ll probably never overtake you in followers or views.

I’m fairly sure this cat must somehow be related to my little (yeah, right) Luke.

Wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas gets astonishing and funny photos of meerkats. A look at the process of photographing these cuties will make you smile.

Tired? So’s this French bulldog puppy, no matter how much he denies it.

Feeling all upside-down? Well, it is another way to look at the world; you may just like it.

Upside-down you’re turnin’ me …

Hey, next week is Easter; wonder what little bunnies are doing right now.

What’s cuter than a baby otter? Frankly, not much.

Have to go? OK …

Don’t go, hoomin! Image of clouded leopard cub Haui-san from San Diego Zoo.

But remember, every time you go away, this cat sure is glad to see you when you get back! If that’s not enough to make you happy …
