    Hi everyone! With the constant updates about the coronavirus, things have been feeling a bit doom and gloom, right?

    TV Tokyo

    FYI it's totally okay to feel this way! It's a stressful time, but just make sure to take care of yourself as well.

    So, to help all of us cheer up for a couple of minutes, I decided to ask the BuzzFeed Australia office to share photos of their adorable pets. Enjoy!

    1. This gorgeous, floofy boi named Bailey who just wants to say "HEMLO!".

    "I adopted Bailey from a shelter when he was seven years old, thinking he'd be a sweet, senior doggo. But as it turns out, he thinks he's a puppy! He's also cheeky, super talkative and incredibly needy. We're often feuding, but not for long because who could stay mad at this face?"

    2. This regal kitty named Moose who I want to cuddle IMMEDIATELY.

    "Here is my cat, Moose. He's stupid, squishy and fluffy — and he's the love of my life."

    3. This senior doggo named Lex — short for Alexander — who spends his days sunbathing and taking long walks.

    "Lex is a 16-year-old (!) Miniature Schnauzer. He's pretty shy and prefers humans to dogs."

    4. This heckin' cute kitter named Kepler — also known as "Sir Angory The Floof".

    "This is my cat, Kepler Davidoff 16b, who is named after a planet called Kepler 16b. He loves to sit on window sills and get his bum scratched while he's eating."

    —Sohan Judge

    Follow Kepler on Instagram.

    5. This teeny weeny pupper named Winston who is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

    "This is Winston! My doggo loves to stay at home, so this whole WFH situation actually suits him quite nicely. And the best part is I get to spend more time with him!"

    —Catherine Scro

    6. This purrfect duo named Leo and Luna who are the best of friends.

    Christelle Quillien / BuzzFeed

    "This is Leo Meowssi (ginger boy) and Luna (short for CataLuna). Both of them are rescues named after their dad's favourite soccer player and team — Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona. Luna loves laying in the sunshine and eating sardines, while Leo loves playing fetch with green beans and doing tricks. I think he's a dog in a cat's body!

    Since we started working from home, they've been very clingy and meowing for our attention all day."

    7. This happy pupper named Charlie who is absolutely a 10/10 on the cuteness scale.

    Alessandro Zotti / BuzzFeed

    "Charlie — AKA Chuck, Chucker, Chuckie — likes long walks in the park, fetch and to roll in anything suss and stanky. "

    —Alessandro Zotti

    8. This catto named Scooter, who looks adorable AF, but is actually VERY mischievous.

    Bec Mowbray / BuzzFeed

    "Scooter is a suuuuper mischievous boy. He's a big foodie and loves trying a bit of whatever anyone is eating. His fave food is Macca's chicken nuggets."

    —Bec Mowbray

    9. This photogenic girl named Mishka who is sweeter than a bag full of sugar.

    Nicki Williams / BuzzFeed

    "This is Mishka, who says hi! She's six months old, but a lot bigger than most pups her age. I'm currently babysitting her while my parents are away, which is interesting at dinner time because they feed her premium beef and egg yolk (very fancy!) — so she won't eat my standard, dry dog food."

    —Nicki Williams

    10. This sleeping beauty named Koji who would make the ultimate cuddle buddy.

    "This is Koji. I read somewhere that Koji was Japanese for 'Tiger', only to find out weeks later it's actually the name of a fungus."

    —Mariela Summerhays

    11. This chonky doggo named Rambo who lives for the morning sunlight coming in through the window.

    Cameron Wilson / BuzzFeed

    "The doctors said that Rambo was unlikely to live past one year. He turns five this week."

    —Cameron Wilson

    12. This sweet pupper named Vash who loves showering his friends with smooches.

    Isha Bassi / BuzzFeed

    "Okay, technically this is my sister's dog, but I love him so much that I had to include him in this post. He's a Swiss Shepherd x Husky and is about to turn a year old on March 21 (my birthday is on March 29 — how cute is that!). Plus, his nickname is Sir Smooch because he loves to give us kisses."

    13. And lastly, this troublesome two named Maggie and Dwight who made me squeal in my self-isolation because they are so damn cute.

    "This is Dwight (left) and Maggie (right). Maggie is so fluffy that her tail once caught on fire from walking past a candle (it was only a minor singe to the fur and she's now heavily supervised around open flames!). And Dwight is named after Dwight Schrute from The Office and loves to run down the hallway at full pace for absolutely no discernible reason."
