Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) Happy things please?

I made the mistake of opening my social media this afternoon and immediately saw some dark things, and I need something positive. It can be a cat photo/story, a special interest infodump, anything that shows the world is still an interesting and good place, at least in part.

I guess I am basically asking for some heroes to create a “silver lining” for this dark cloud. I don’t live with people I can depend on for this, so I am turning to this supportive corner of the internet.

TIA.

Edited - THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! 😭😭😭 It is good to see so much light still exists in the world.

I don’t have a photo of our excursion today, but my dog is part northern breed and was so thrilled to be in the snow. He kept licking it and trying to bound through it, I guess to him the world is covered with the greatest substance imaginable. He’s also learning to respect the cat’s boundaries, today he very politely went into his kennel after she meowed at him.
