This week’s selection of cute animals includes cats, dogs, a chipmunk and a couple of ferrets.

There’s no better pick-me-up than the one you get when you see a clip of an animal acting silly, which is why we’ve compiled this weekly column. These short videos feature all sorts of animals and can provide that much needed mid-week rush of endorphins, anywhere at any time.

This week’s cute animals feature a dog with a big belly, different kinds of cat friendships, a tiny chipmunk and some ferrets playing with each other. Have a look:

Post-Thanksgiving dog

The week after Thanksgiving is a blow in all sorts of ways. We’re back from a long break and Christmas is only a couple of weeks away, meaning that our work energy is kind of gone. We’re also feeling really bloated, which is why this little guy is the perfect way to kick off this column.

Cat friends

The only thing better and more relaxing than a cuddling cat is two cats cuddling with each other. You’re welcome.

Cat & dog friends

This strangely amicable cat is content to just chill there and play with his friend’s ear. Until it gets bored and rolls out of the way because you can’t be too nice to dogs; they’ll get the wrong impression.

Small chipmunk

Chipmunks are pretty popular when it comes to strange pets. They’re adorable and very small, but they’re also wild, with the domesticated ones having lived with people since birth. In short: if you see a chipmunk on a tree, don’t pet it.

Two ferrets

Unlike other uncommon pets, ferrets are very sociable and can make for really good and simple to care for pets. They can eat cat food and ferret food. They’re super cute and like to have friends. Just look at them with their long awkward bodies.
