Hello, my dearest MetaFiltereans. My grandfather recently suffered a serious medical episode that sent him to the hospital and will require a long recovery. He's back home now, but he'd love your cutest and funniest animal videos to cheer him up. Thank you so much for your help!

Can't go wrong with Cats and Friends Choir videos.

Fiona the young Hippo at Cincinnati zoo has an good collection of videos.

Watching Teddy the Porcupine eat a variety of things is also fun.

Kitten academy livestream. It’s nice for the background and if he wants interesting kitten antics there are videos too. There’s a relatively fresh batch of kittens (about two weeks old) now.

Guy dresses up as dog's favorite toy is so perfect. The way Jolene slowly stands up and the pure excitement! It's so sweet.

He might like the BBC's Walk on the Wild Side videos? (there are quite a few more).

I like the Sunflower Creamery videos of baby goats. They're chill and free of annoying music. Some highlights are goat babies in pajamas, chihuahua puppy thinks she's a baby goat, babies feeding baby goats, and farm visitors cuddling with baby goats.

Tiny goat tours. The mini goats at the zoo in Portland, OR, have been going on visits to other zoo critters.

Animal voice overs are cute and so are the Honey Badger videos

This baby red squirrel is cute and makes cute sounds. There’s a lot more where that came from, too.

Piglet the deaf and blind pink puppy is truly adorable, and most of their videos are short in length so perfect for recovery attention span. I especially love the ones about his "inclusion pack," and the fact that he has an excellent job as an ambassador for special needs and teaches caring. (They're also on tik-tok and instagram.)
