Some weeks, the Internet abounds with all kinds of animal videos. Monkeys, turtles, different kinds of birds, other animals. Any kind of animal you could think of, I’m sure, if you were pressed to think of different kinds of animals. Elephants, baby elephants. Some weeks it seems like life is really a beautiful cornucopia of animals on film, and we just have to wait and reload our Google Readers to explore it. But then some other weeks — this week, for example — the world seems to be only populated by cats and dogs and their owners. I’m certainly not saying these weeks are objectively worse than the previously mentioned weeks, NEVER!, I’m just saying that they’re different. A little narrower in scope, let’s say, but certainly not less enjoyable. So “be prepared,” -Scar, for a bunch of cat and dog videos (and three non cat and dog videos), and “be prepared,” -Scar, to ENJOY THEM ALL! Very enjoyable. Very cute. Let’s watch them.

1. Dog Really Trying To Get A Tennis Ball Out Of A Pool Without Going In The Pool

Congratulations, dog trying to get a tennis ball out of a pool without going in it! Your struggle has become our joy, and I can’t thank you enough for it. Truly an inspiration. Dumb puppy runs into mirror — you’re probably very surprised at your number two slot. Even I’m surprised looking at you in the number two slot. “Did I just forget to move that?” I’m thinking. But no, I have to assume at one point I loved you so much that #2 just seemed right, and there you will stay. Bunny licking the other bunny — perfect. You knew what everyone wanted and you just gave it to them, right in time for spring. Congrats. Guinea Pig, I have to admit that I wasn’t VERY impressed with your jump, but there was a ruler beneath you, and it seemed like there were a lot of people in that room with you, so I’ll jut have to believe that it was impressive. Good show! And closing out our top five, the cat hugging the bunny. Of course. Great job, cat. I’m sure you love that bunny for real and that isn’t just a probably sad sort of reflex. And, as always, congratulations to the rest of the winners. HOORAY WINNERS!

  1. All this adorableness needs to be contrasted by some harsh reality. Pets are dangerous:

  2. every week the petting zoo makes me hate cats less and less. also, that puppy needs to be checked for a concussion, that sounded horrible.

  3. oh my gosh BUNNIES! IN SPRINGTIME!

  4. Aww those bunnies remind me of the one my friends and I hide in our dorm last semester! Except these seem sweet and ours was kind of a bitch! RIP Dr. Lovepants

  5. When we had a sliding board in the yard, the dog was the only one who played on it. Dogs just wanna have fun. Also, can I have those snuggly bunnies?

  6. Aww those bunnies remind me of the one my friends and I hide in our dorm last semester! Except these seem sweet and ours was kind of a bitch! RIP Dr. Lovepants, lurve yah 4 lyfeee

  7. My dog does this tennis ball thing EVERY TIME HE IS NEAR A POOL. Every time. My dog = the best.

    • Oh my god I was ready to give up all my worldly possessions for that dog to get the ball. (Also I am moving this weekend and have too many worldly possessions sooo.)

    • My dog does that too, but instead of a pool, it’s the abyss under the couch. And then when he can’t use his paws to get the ball out, he looks at you and cries until you get it for him. And then once he has his ball, he pushes it under the couch again and the whole process is repeated.

  8. The adorableness is somewhat ruined by the nasty anti-smoking ad I see next to it. I DON’T SMOKE INTERNET LEAVE ME TO WATCH PUPPIES IN PEACE.

  9. When you smoke it means you cut years off of your animal-video-watching lifespan.

  10. Those piano dogs are more talented than the previous piano dogs we’ve seen. Hittin’ all the right notes! Good Boys!

  11. By guinea pig standards that jump is um superguineaporcine.
