What do Paul Rudd, Jean Claude Van Damme, a grumpy cat and a lion all have in common? They're all ridiculously cute, duh! Also, they all make an appearance in viral videos that made us swoon. It's almost the freakin' weekend, baby, so say "work shmork" and revel in our choices for the best adorable, happy-making videos of the week:
1. Here, Kitty Kitty: Adorable Aussie Snuggles with Lions
Adorability factor (scale of 1 to 10): 9. Few things in life are cuter than a fierce lion tamed by the forces of snuggling. This human-lion tenderness reminds us of that classic video where Christian the lion was reunited in the wild with his former owners, and...I'm (sniff) not (sniff) crying...

3. Get Your Squeal On! Dog Charms Grumpy Cat into Playtime
Adorability factor: 8. If Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon are the adorable duo of the human world, the sweet dog and grumpy cat in this video are the adorable duo of the animal one.

4. Our Prayers Answered! Jean Claude Van Damme Does the Splits in Space
