Here's a heartwarmer -- five years ago, Redditor Mantees found a tiny kitten. But it wasn't your average kitten:

While I was on holiday in the south of Italy (was living in the north) I found a tiny kitten desperately crying with the power of a thousands suns. I decided to take care of her during my holiday, so that she would be stronger and more capable to survive when I would leave back home. At the time she was obviously too young to survive alone under a 43 degrees Celsius (109 F) sun.

Her legs were clearly not okay, the mouth was also asymmetrical and impossible to close, probably because of a trauma, but the worst news still had to come. The following day I brought her to the vet who said that her eyes were closed not only because she was still too young but also because an infection ate both eyeballs. The vet also said that she was too weak, and that he thought that she could not survive.

In the following days my brother and I started to take care of her eyes infection, ears infection, intestine worms and fever, while keeping her warm, feeding her with warm powder milk every 4 hours and teaching her to follow the noise of our steps and clapping hands. After 15 days Skunky was still weak but alive, but I had to leave. So I changed my plane reservation to include a pet, and long story short, Skunky is now sleeping in my bed, with the body under my covers and her head on my pillow.

…what Skunky gives to me everyday is worth 10 times more what I might do for her.

Puddle of tears.

Ceiling Cat recruited his best pals to star in an educational video about the lives of cats. Sadly, it just reinforces the only thing we know about them -- cats are weird.

Now you see him, now you see him on the other side of the room.

HOW DID HE DO THAT?

For the cat that has (almost) everything, especially if you already bought it a frikkin' tunnel couch.

Pre-orders for Litterfish are open now.

George Lucas has lost it again, creating a new special edition of Star Wars in which he digitally replaced the actors with cats! He must be stopped!

Well, that was the most likely explanation. Turns out it's just a gallery of scenes re-imagined by the Internet.

Close call, people.

16,000 linked Google computers, 10 million random YouTube thumbnail images, and more than a billion connections in between led to one result: the computers, without human guidance, learned what a cat is.

Google's attempt of simulating the human brain, with thousands of processors in conjunction with thinking software, discovered the house cat. It's a huge step forward in computing, and the best part is... it's learning.

This cat's policy on vet visits is simple: "I don't want it!"
