Friendlies

Many cats would not be caught unalive showing their pawrents how much they love them. Which is why we have elected to work with the cat children who openly love on their pawrents for this cute and cuddly collection of cats.

It is quite the conundrum in the cat world. You have three kinds of cats when it comes to the feline expression of love towards their pawrents. The first kind is the catto who is capable of purring and cuddling even while in the shelter. This cat will get adopted in two seconds as its prospective pawrents will instantly know just how wonderful their lives are going to be together. Then you have the second type of cat, they might show glimmers or hints of loving at the shelter. Causing prospective pawrents to be enticed by the prospect of having a loving cat child at home. These pawrents either lie to themselves, saying the cat will show even more love when they settle in at home, or they know they are in for a challenge when they get home but they are the kind of people who like to earn their feline love.

Then you have the third kind of cat, this kind is most certainly not featured in this list. Mainly because they will never touch their hoomans of their own volition. This is the kind of cat who will cause chaos just if you look at them wrong. Their idea of personal space is being on opposite sides of the room and keeping a safe, wary distance. So for all you pawrents who have been tricked, lied to themselves, or otherwise we offer you these cute cattos cuddling their pawrents to make up for your lacking intimacy.
 

Why does meowing Monday have to be part of the week?

We can't actually banish Monday from the calendar - believe us, we really tried. Black magic, wish fish, nothing worked. But even though we lack the ability to manipulate time, we have a superior secret weapon: cat memes. And these aren't just your average cats - we're talking about clocked-in cat coworkers who are metaphorically (and occasionally literally) joining the daily grind right alongside us.

While it's true that cats usually ignore schedules and nap whenever they want, for how long they want, there is something uniquely relatable about a grumpy cat slumped in an office chair or a floofy intern "assisting" by sleeping on a keyboard. These hardworking kitties are clearly giving it their all, and we think they've definitely earned a serious raise in treats, pets, and zoomie breaks. They're doing great cat work.

If the Monday blues are starting to sink in, consider this your purrfect pawfessional distraction. These hired feline funnies are reporting for duty with a single objective: boosting your morale immediately with Monday meowing memes. Whether you are drowning in emails or just struggling to finish your first cup of coffee before it gets cold, these are the only coworkers you'll actually want to see in your inbox today.

On Monday morning, we start the day with a strong cup of coffee to wake us up and the best cat tweets of the week to make us smile.

Monday mornings are hard, and that is a fact. Here we are, another week ahead of us, dreading every second of it. Because we know what the world is like right now. We know that everywhere we look, there is chaos. We know that going on social media is a toss-up. You might see the cutest cats of your life, or you might see something that you wish you had never seen at all. Of course, we still go on there. We still take the risk. Because the viral cat content online is not something that we can afford to miss. 

This is why we are here right meow. We, here at ICHC, decide to do the hard work for you. We take that risk, over and over, going on social media. We sift through all the madness for you and bring you the goodies right here. Every single week, we find you the best, most viral cat tweets on X, and put them into a single collection. So that you could truly start your Monday the way that you want to start it - with strong coffee and pawsitive cat content. 

If everyone tells you that you're making the wrong decision… do you believe them, or your heart?

Adopting a pet is a gamble. It's not like buying a bred cat where you know their whole genetic history and potential health problems. When you adopt a cat, you're lucky if you even know how old it actually is. But sometimes, even when you have most of the information, you still don't know how long you're going to have them for. This is a risk we all take - because it's better to have loved and have lost, than to have never loved at all.

The vet told our cat lover below that the kitten she found was too sick, that she was a lost cause, but this pawrent didn't believe them. She saw that she was a fighter and decided to take a leap of faith with this brave little kitten and hope for the best. She woke up to feed her every two hours. She used four different kinds of eye drops to heal her troubled eyes. She didn't give up, and neither did the kitten.

There were many bumps in the road. They had to isolate the cute kitten from their other cat and suffered many sleepless nights. There were many scratches, arguments, and fear of what the next day would bring… but all of those tribulations worked to bring them closer. They formed a bond that only a cat owner and their cat can truly understand. Purrhaps they both feared going to sleep every night, but they had the courage to wake up the next morning and find out, every day, for five years after.

Cats don't wear glasses to see. They wear them to judge. 

Cats don't need glasses. Their vision is already purrfect. They can spot a bug from across the room, hear a treat bag from miles away, and somehow Cats don't wear glasses to see, they wear them to judgeknow exactly when you're about to sit down so they can steal your spot. And yet, give them a pair of glasses and suddenly they're acting like the most well-read whisker scholar in the house.

They'll sit there all still, looking like they're deep in thought, like they've got important meownifestos to write and serious pawlitics to discuss. It's a whole new look. Very put together. Very sophisticated. Like they've got strong opinions on things they definitely don't understand.

Of course, it doesn't last. One second they're serving full purfessor energy, the next they're batting the glasses off their face or trying to chew the frames. The act drops fast. You can't hide that kind of cattitude for long.

Still, they keep coming back to it. Not because they need help seeing, but because they know exactly what they're doing. The glasses aren't for vision, they're for the vibe.

A chubby boy is a good boy…

It's not always easy for a cat to bounce around from owner to owner. It can really weigh on them, and be daunting to adjust to a new home, new way of life, new food, new beds, and new pawrents. But this little chubber did a great job with the transition. Very delicately and decidedly named, "Mr. Kitty," he really does live and breathe a certain type of beauty. They found him over summer after his original owner passed away. He's an incredibly well behaved boy. He used to be quite large, but since his owner's passing he's lost some weight. After taking him to the vet they saw he weighs 12.7 pounds, which the vet said is healthy for his size. His teeth are perfect and he has no underlying health issues. He's about 5-6 years old, and is working on getting his passport for his owners to take him in. He's a cuddler, and they've also built him a climbing wall. Scroll below to see photos of this handsome man and to read the full story. 

Monday may be looming around the corner, but that's no reason to let your pawsitivity fly out the window. All you need for a purrfect week is a good night's sleep and some wholesome feline funnies to wake up with a smile on your face.

Cats are surprisingly simple creatures, you just have to know how to speak their language. If you want your cat to come cuddle, simply put something warm on top of your legs, and we guarantee you that your cat will come sooner or later. If you want to catch your cat, lay an empty cardboard box on the floor, they won't be able to resist its charm and will jump in. If you want to know where your "lost" cat is inside your home, just shake a treat bag and they'll come running. As hoomans, we like to complicate our problems, but what if our solutions were just as simple?

Okay, we can't solve all of our problems with a few treats (that doesn't stop us from trying, though), but we firmly believe that a lot of problems can be solved with a simple change of mindset. If you're constantly looking at things with the food bowl half empty, of course you're going to purrceive most situations in a negative way. However, if you look at life with the food bowl half full, well, everything becomes a little bit easier.

But how do you get into that pawsitive headspace? Our solution is as simple as simple can be - cat memes. Wholesome ones, to be exact. The combination of purrfeclty fluffy felines, funny kitties, and hissterical jokes sets the tone for a purrfect week ahead. Not all solutions have to be complicated. Sometimes, the easiest solution is the best one, and the best one is always full of cute cats.

We love cats. Cats love us. But not as much as they love tearing down your new curtains, and taking the rest of the window frames down with them, apparently.

Some behaviors are just Very Cat™ - asking for the fourth snack in a row, napping for 16 hours straight, and taking vengeance on a lone sock they found under the couch (truly, unacceptable sock behavior). But one of the most iconic cat things out there is their absolute unhinged destruction urge they experience from time to time. And when that time comes, no couch is safe, no curtain can hide, and no toilet paper roll can defend itself.

But some of these destructive urges are more extreme - even if we can laugh about them with the rest of the worldwide cat parents community. And that's exactly why we asked our very own online cat community what the most destructive thing their cats have ever done. Your answers both surprised us and made us laugh out loud.

Do you want your cat's crazy story read by us, at the I Can Has Cheezburger HQ? Then don't hesitate to follow our Facebook page, where you can find many more pawsts like this one, and tell us all your cat's antics. We love them.

Turns out your furniture may have been a cat this whole time.

Some cats chase toys. Others chase mastery. These stealthy little professionals have leveled up their hiding skills by perfectly matching blankets, rugs, shelves, and suspiciously cat-shaped corners. Prepare to squint, zoom in, and question your own eyesight.
