Maybe you're looking for a reason to get a Twitter account or maybe you're already a regular tweeter. If you're either of those things and if you're an animal lover, we've rounded up some of the best animal-related Twitter accounts to follow immediately.
Cute Emergency (@CuteEmergency)
With almost 3 million followers, Cute Emergency knows the ultimate formula for making people's days: photos of cute, tiny animals doing impossibly cute things. Cheering hedgehog? Check. Labrador trying to eat a rainbow? Check. Animals in costume? Check. CHECK. CHECK!
Emergency Kittens (@EmrgencyKittens)
Love Cute Emergency but only care about cats and, more importantly, kittens? @EmrgencyKittens is the account for you. Never go more than a few hours without purrfect content to lift your mood.
Texts from my dog (@dogtextings)
Have you ever wanted to text your dog? @dogtextings's 300,000 followers sure seem into the idea. This account wonders what it would be like if your dog had an iPhone and could text you its daily musings. Bravo.
Dogs on trains (@dogsontrains)
It's as simple as the Twitter handle makes it sound: @dogsontrains is a collection of photos captured of dogs around the world. Run by a graphic designer named Ellen Munro, it's a simple idea that's taken off - probably because everybody loves to have their commute brightened by the appearance of a waggy-tailed pup.
Animal Vines (@TheAnimalVines)
Earlier this year, Twitter announced it would be shutting down its six-second video app Vine - though it was later reported Vine will be re-branded and kept as Vine Camera, allowing Twitter users to continue making and sharing Vine-like videos on the popular user platform. Luckily,@TheAnimalVines has you sorted - your one-stop shop for cuteness of all kinds.
