They say that pets are family. Here at FTWtoday, our subscribers are like family. Therefore, their pets are our family too. We asked readers to submit their furry friends for a chance at being featured, and well — because we (selfishly) love seeing cute animals.

This gallery is full of reader-submitted cuteness that will make your inbox a happier place. So, without further ado, let’s meet the pets of FTWtoday.
