What do you dream about? 

Our dreams can really affect us. Sometimes they are on the forefront of our thoughts all day, just waiting for us to unlock something in our subconscious, or to remember something from our past. Many different psychologists have had their takes on the meaning of a dream. Take Sigmond Freud for example, he thought a dream was a wish. So what does it mean if we have a nightmare? Well, never mind. We're here to talk about dreamy cats whisking you away. 

It's the weekend, that means there's no rush, there's no alarm clock beeping at you and disturbing your beauty sleep, there no dragging yourself out of bed before you want to leave. There's no traffic, no commute, no forced small talk, no emails that found you, and you don't owe anyone anything. On the weekend, there's just the simple pleasure of existing. If that means existing at the beach, at a cafe, at a friend's house, on a road trip, or at home with your cat, then so be it. No matter what you choose to do on the weekend, we're behind it, as long as you scroll cat memes.  

Your cat curled up against you at home, you idlily reading, watching something, or scrolling, and you two are like two peas in a pod. There's such a comfort to being cozy and sleepy with your cat on the weekend. If you're someone who leans towards the introverted side, then we can already assume your weekend plans. There's no shame in staying home either! You have a furry fluffball to snuggle you, cuddle you, and nuzzle its nose on you. So instead of pushing yourself to do things you don't want to, embrace the weekend's warm hug of dreamy wonder; scroll these cat memes and see you next time!  

It's not always easy to have two cats, but would you do it if it meant your cat was happier?

From Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, a cat owner thought to himself one day, "I think my cat needs a friend." Sometimes our thoughts are more powerful than we realize, and lo and behold, there was a cat the next day. He had the windows open and his mom heard a kitten crying outside. They have some large landscaping rocks and the little guy was stuck between them. They immediately take him inside and gave him a heating pad, some blankets, and a bear Beanie Baby. When they first pulled him out, he didn't seem in the best shape, and he was lethargic, but he made a quick recovery. They live in the middle of rural nowhere and had to drive a few towns over for a Walmart to buy supplies, but then everything was okay. 

The cat is feeling much better, and they already brought him to the vet. He was tired, but other than that, nothing was wrong. They have a 1-year-old kitten already, and now these kittens can be friends. Sometimes we do the unbelievable for our pets, like drop $73 on a vet bill. But in the end it's always worth it. 

Couch potato mode activates immediately the second a cat touches a soft cushion. 

Cats can turn sitting on the couch into a full-day event. They find one warm spot on the cushions and suddenly the entire living room belongs to them. Blankets get trapped. Pillows disappear underneath fluffy bodies. Anybody hoping to sit down comfortably now has to carefully work around a sleeping cat shaped like a baked potato.

Cats also act completely exhausted after doing absolutely nothing all day. They flop dramatically onto the couch, stretch one paw into the air, sigh deeply, and close their eyes like life has been unbelievably stressful. Meanwhile their hardest task of the afternoon was probably walking to the food bowl.

Cats sleep in the weirdest positions too. Half hanging off the couch, twisted upside down, face shoved into the cushion, somehow balancing on the armrest with all four paws dangling. They can make the most uncomfortable-looking setup seem unbelievably cozy.

Trying to move them never works either. The second somebody shifts slightly, the cat suddenly becomes heavier than a bag of bricks. Now the hooman is trapped underneath a warm purring blob and forced to accept their fate.

Cats nap with the focus and dedication of somebody working a serious full-time job. After eight straight hours of couch potato behavior, they randomly sprint through the house at full speed before immediately returning to the exact same couch cushion for another nap.

Elton John turned into the world's most emotional big brother the second Patio showed up outside the door.

What started as helping care for a feral mama cat and her kittens on the patio slowly turned into a classic Reddit r/CatDistributionSystem subreddit story after the family tuxedo cat completely attached himself to one specific kitten. Elton John, a 15-pound tuxedo cat, apparently decided very early on that Patio belonged with him.

Whenever Patio showed up outside the sliding glass door, Elton would cry until somebody noticed her. Then came the pawing at the glass, purring, playing, and patiently waiting for her visits every day like it was the most important part of his routine. Patio gave all the affection and silliness right back too. Elton was already acting like an overly attached big brother before she had even officially come inside.

When snow and an ice storm forecast showed up in January, the decision made itself. Patio was coming inside. The other kittens found fosters and eventually homes, mama cat got fixed and still gets looked after outside, and Patio officially became an indoor cat forever.

Patio also sounds full of personality already. Tiny kittens standing on their hind legs for pets while purring like little motorboats are impossible not to love. The detail about her hanging around during makeup sessions like a tiny alt girl makes her even funnier. Elton really looked through that sliding glass door one day and decided "yep, that one is family."

Bengal cats are considered a luxury breed, and although their ancestors may have hunted out in the wild, they certainly don't belong in a Lowe's garden center. Especially if they're pregnant!

Just like Target, we always walk out of Lowe's with more than what we originally went in for. You can never have too many house supplies (you know you're old when you say this), but one thing we never expect to find in a Lowe's is a stray cat. Let alone a rare breed like a Bengal cat! That's what happened to our pawrent after she visited her local Lowe's garden center - she stumbled upon a beautiful pregnant mama cat, only one or two weeks away from giving birth, as posted in Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem subreddit.

Now, this pawrent already had a lot going on. One of her dogs was undergoing medical treatment and the other was in the middle of her first heat. That is already a lot, but she knew that she couldn't leave that mama cat to face the dangers of the outside world with newborn kittens. She saved her, found a dedicated bengal cat rescue, and arranged for her to give birth with a loving foster parent.

We're happy to announce that 'Willow' gave birth to four healthy kittens, two of which have been adopted by a friend, one by the pawrent's veterinarian, and the pawrent will probably adopt Willow and her leftover baby. How could you not? It's like getting a purrfectly adorable $3000 gift for free. Plus a teeny-weeny kitten to boot! 

Be careful, you might burn yourself if you can't handle the heat.

Some people love the heat, but all it does is make us angry. We're sweaty, uncomfortable, hot, and always feeling like we need a shower. We're not built for warm weather, we're better off snuggled up under a heavy blanket while it blizzards outside. But every Summer, when the thermometer passes the 90-degree mark, we have to warn people not to take our remarks purrsonally. We might just be lashing out because we're hot.

When you're uncomfortable, your stress hormone production increases, making you not only uncomfortable, but also irritable. Less patient (and patience was not a strong virtue of ours in the first place). So really, it's not our fault at all! This is why we stay inside in our offices, making purrfect compilations of cat memes for you while avoiding the sun at all costs. Hence, whey we've brought you all here today!

If you're an AC-aficionado and grumpier than Grumpy Cat herself, then these feisty memes for people suffering from the Summer heat are purrfect for you. Some call them "mean", but we just call them spicy. Feisty. Fiery. But most of all, 100% feline. All of us who have ever interacted with a cat know that cats can go from loving to aggressive with the flip of a switch. It's just their way of saying "no more!" Well, we would love to say "no more" like that, but then we'd be fired, and that wouldn't be good for anyone. So instead, we're letting our fiery feline feelings run rampant amongst these feisty memes. It's a purrfect outlet so we don't scream at anyone because we're hot. Or because they ask us the same questions four times in a row.

Happy grumping and may your AC always be set to the purrfect 62 degrees!

The weekend is finally upon us, and what better way to kick it off than with a fresh serving of the finest feline content around!

We've made it. After a long week of watching the clock and fantasizing about the moment we could clock out and reclaim our time, Caturday has arrived. And you know what that means - plenty of quality moments with our pawdorable cat companions, paired with catching up on all the cat content we let slip by during the busy week.

That's exactly where the weekly Caturday meowgazine comes in. Think of it as your one-stop roundup of everything feline you may have missed - from the cat tweets that broke the internet to the most heartwarming and downright ridiculous cat stories of the week. We completely understand if you've been giving social media a cold shoulder lately (very understandable) - it's been a lot. But as fellow cat lovers, staying connected to the cat world is non-negotiable. Enjoy your Caturday to the fullest, and we'll see you right back here next week for another round!

One tiny meow from a kitten is enough to control an entire household. Kittens may be smol, but they carry the confidence and the dramatic energy of a powerful supervillain trapped inside a tiny fluffy body. And they know how much power they have over us. Want to see some big attitudes? Keep scrolling for kitten memes!  

Sometimes they act like they rule the world, and the next moment, they are meowing dramatically for your attention. Kittens are like the toughest babies on the planet.

Tiny furry reminders that everything might actually be okay.

The internet can be a loud place, which is exactly why wholesome cats remain one of humanity's greatest resources. These little creatures somehow manage to make ordinary moments feel special just by existing. Whether they are curled up in a sunbeam or blinking slowly at their favorite person, cats have a remarkable talent for making the world feel a little calmer.

Part of the charm is that cats never seem to be in a hurry. While the rest of us are racing through schedules, emails, and endless notifications, cats are busy taking strategic naps and finding the warmest spot in the house. There is something surprisingly comforting about watching an animal fully commit to relaxation without a single ounce of guilt.

Wholesome cat photos also remind us that happiness often comes from the smallest things. A cardboard box, a cozy blanket, a favorite window, or an unexpected cuddle can completely make a cat's day. Their ability to find joy in simple comforts is a lesson many humans could probably use more often.

That is why wholesome cat collections never get old. They offer a brief escape from stress and replace it with soft paws, sleepy faces, and tiny moments of affection. For a few minutes, the internet becomes a gentler place filled with purring, loafing, and all the cozy energy we did not know we needed.

Cat lovers all abide by one simple, unspoken rule: If the cat is sleeping on your lap, you can't disturb them. 

Not all cats are cuddlers, but every cat has a meowment where they're supremely cozy and can't resist a quick snuggle. To them, humans are an enormous thermoregulated heat bed that comes complete with a dual-action arm for petting and another for dishing out doses of sardine treats. Cats don't always see us as their coziest nap spot in the house, but when they do, it's sacred. 

Most often, cats find humans to be a simple component in their lives. Humans are devoted servants, canned food openers, feather flingers, and kibble replenishers. Occassionally, cats will witness a split second of their humans being reprimanders, but that's only when they bite your ankles at night or knock your favorite mug off the countertop. Otherwise, cats can truly get away with anything in the house. It's their kitty purrogative. 

Lo and behold, that leads me to my first and most important point: cat naps. 

When napping, a cat can never be disturbed. It's the law. Especially when a cat is purring peacefully, sleeping on your lap with their beady little eyes pinched closed, that feline must never be disturbed. If you're a cat lover who's experienced the weight of this burden (despite your cat only weighing 7 lbs), you know that, like Mjölnir, Thor's immovable hammer, a sleeping cat on your lap can never be moved. It's for this reason that duos of cat lovers who live with one another are happy to help each other out when the other is pinned by the house cat. If they need a glass of water, a snack refill, or even a lapped cat transfer, their partner must be happy to oblige. 

So the next time you have a sleepy eepy kitten curled up like a cinnamon roll, be sure to let them peacefully, blissfully drift away into a cat nap. It's the law according to the world of cat lovers, and if broken, some feline enforcers will come to reprimand you in return. Prepare for a spritzing from the punishment spray bottle, because the cat community is very serious about this notion. 

Nothing motivates a cat faster than being told something is forbidden.

Kitchen counters somehow become the most exciting place in the house the second cats learn they are not supposed to be up there. A cat can completely ignore the kitchen all day long, but the second a pawrent says "get off the counter," suddenly there's urgent business happening beside the toaster.

The timing is always suspicious. Everything stays quiet until the kitchen empties out for maybe ten seconds. Then comes the sound of tiny paws landing on the counter followed by complete silence. Cats think freezing in place makes them invisible. Meanwhile they're sitting in plain sight beside the fruit bowl with their tail hanging off the edge.

Getting caught changes absolutely nothing either. Cats just stare back with complete confidence. No shame, no panic, just a slow blink and maybe a casual sniff of one breadcrumb to make it look official.

The escape attempts somehow make them look even guiltier too. The second footsteps get too close, they leap off the counter at top speed and disappear around the corner like tiny furry fugitives. Then five minutes later they are somehow back in the exact same spot continuing their highly important countertop investigation.

Cats never seem interested in what is actually on the counter. They just want the satisfaction of being somewhere forbidden. Cats hear "off limits" and immediately take it as a purrsonal challenge.

Sometimes one knock at the door comes with whiskers, ticks, and a future house cat attached.

This orange boy really walked straight into a classic Reddit r/CatDistributionSystem subreddit moment when he showed up at somebody's front door looking rough and desperately needing help. Matted fur, covered in ticks, skinny, starving, and still somehow sweet enough to trust people after everything he had clearly been dealing with outside.

The difference one week made for this cat already sounds huge. Instead of struggling outside, now he is getting regular meals, flea and tick treatment, deworming medicine, baths, and warm places to sleep. Going from exhausted and dirty to freshly cleaned up and laying in somebody's lap is such a massive upgrade for a cat who probably hasn't had much comfort in a long time.

He also sounds unbelievably affectionate already. Cats that immediately lean into pets and attention after being rescued always hit extra hard because it feels obvious how badly they wanted safety and kindness. Whether he used to belong to somebody or spent his life hanging around barns barely getting by, he clearly knew he needed help and picked the right house.

Orange cats somehow have a special talent for showing up looking completely scruffy while still acting ridiculously lovable. This guy seriously went from struggling outside to being cared for and wanted in record time. Some cats really do know exactly which door to knock on.

The tomcat nominated to be "mother of the year". 

We thought long and hard about how to tackle this absolutely wholesome story, full of twists and turns, and we're still not sure. But one thing is certain, and that is cats never cease to surprise us. Whether it's with a new fur coat discovered, or some new behavior documented - we think we know cats, but they always find new ways to surprise us. And yes, even the most experienced of fostering people, who probably saw everything the stray cat population has to offer, can still be caught by surprise. Just like this one fostering woman from the r/cats community.

It's not every day that you get to see such a maternal tomcat, caring so gently for foster kittens. It's truly such a rare sight, that even the vet was fooled in the beginning to think he was a female cat caring for "her" own litter of kittens. This tomcat is so endearingly caring that after sharing this story with the online feline family, many cat people commented that she should keep him to help with fostering future kittens. And all we have left to do is join the chants: Foster fail! Foster fail! Foster fail!

Raising a cat is a cycle of happiness that never ends.

Every cat pawrent knows the endless amounts of joy their cat brings them. Cats bring so much happiness into our lives that it's sometimes hard to describe it in words. We can tell people who don't know about their precious purrs they do while resting on us, about how cats love sunbathing and get all toasty, about how they perk their tails up to say "hello, hooman, I see you there, and I love you."

This is a two-way street, of course. Because if our cats are happy, they make us happy as well. Raising a cat is like having an endless, unbroken cycle of joy in your house. But cat pawrents already know this. And because you all know this, we asked our Facebook ICHC community to show us all their happy cats, so this endless happiness will reach as far as it can.

Remember - a happy hooman with a happy cat is always a happy hooman.

'We knew it from the moment we saw him' - Forest's pawrents from the Reddit r/Cats community

When you find your soul cat, you just know they're meant to be yours.

Meeting your soul cat is like meeting your life partner - you just know it's meant to be. Some call it love at first sight, some call us soulmates, but we know the forces of feline fate when we feel them. It's like two magnets gently pulling you closer and closer until you're inseparable. We felt it when we met our husband, and when we met our first cat.

Just like we did, the couple in our story below also felt it. They went to adopt a kitten, whom they named 'Forest' (after Forest Whitaker), and instantly knew he was destined to be a part of their family. "Like a good batch of strawberries … we knew it from the moment we saw him", he said. However, when they went to adopt him, they found out another family had already claimed him. They were devastated, but they weren't about to let their soul cat slip through their fingers.

Do you know the secret trick to setting yourself up for a purrfect weekend? (We'll give you a hint - it involves cats, tiny paws, and floof so fluffy you'll want to nap on it)

Whenever people ask us what our "dream job" would be, and we usually tell them that we're already doing it. The only job that for a cat lover that would be better than being a part of the I Can Has Cheezburger team would be to be a live-in nanny for Enya, the famous Irish singer who lives in a giant castle with her cats. To clarify, we wouldn't be Enya's nanny, we would be a cat nanny. Who wouldn't want to live in a castle for free and take care of fluffy felines?

But until we get the call from Enya, we'll be here every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and so on and so forth until the end of time. Because we get to make every day purrfect by finding the fluffiest, funniest, and cutest cats the internet has to offer every day of the week. That means that, on Furidays, when everyone is rushing to make their deadlines before the weekend, we're over here curating a list of pawsitively heartwarming felines from our favorite X page, @nocontextcats, with kittens, tiny paws, and purrs. They have a special calming-effect on those of us with cats on the brain all the time, and whose souls resemble that of a feline-shape (if you've read this far, that's probably you). 

Our trick to purrfecting our entrance to the weekend couldn't be simpler - it has 3 purrcise steps: awww-ing over some cute kittens, scrolling through purrfect paws and smooshy feline faces, and feeling your inner cat purr with happiness. That's what our goal for you is below, and if you feel the sweet feeling of feline serenity by the end of this article, then we've done our jobs successfully.

WARNING: The content below is so cute, it will alter your mood and vibes instantly. 

Yes, my fellow cat lovers, it's memes. Kitten memes, specifically. 

Amidst the chaos and the craziness of the world, we are fortunate enough to experience something many only dream of: the sheer peace and solitude of cat ownership. Kittens have a special way of turning the hardest hearts into goo, meowing and melting their way into our arms and into our lives without much of a fraction of resistance from their nearby hoomans. 

Like local tracking beams, kittens find the nearest, softest-souled human, and they do the one thing they're exceptional at: they mew. 

With their tiny roars of cuteness, they make us swoon and sway our hearts, causing humans to do the unthinkable. After hearing the cries of a kitten and scooping their tiny floof into our hands, we're helpless to resist the next logical step. Kittens immediately find themselves a loving home in this way, cementing their love-filled futures in the hearts and homes of happy humans and curing us of our own purrpetual sadness at the same time. 

Let these kittens do the same to you. 

You may not have a new kitten in your life right now, but you can smell the milk bottles just around the corner, listening to the kitten cries and the cuckoo cat zoomies at 2 AM in your most vivid dreams. Alas, it's the mere thought of a meow, a whisker kiss, or a tail flicker that shows us enough love to transcend into the atmosphere with a mood above the norm and far away from the average. Let the kittens wash over you and take control of your senses, leaving you feeling refreshed, happy, and pawsitively hopeful for whatever tomorrow brings. For at least right now, you have the positivity and pure joy, simplicity, and cuteness of a couple of kittens to carry you onward.

The best memes to keep at your side when you need a pawsitive mood boost.

Here at the ICanHasCheezburger offices, we have a tradition during the last lunch of the week to go around the table and ask everyone about their weekend plans. People share what they are most looking forward to during their weekend, whether it's a fun date night or a family gathering, and everyone gets a glimpse at their coworkers' purrsonal lives outside of the office.

If we're being completely honest, we understand why some people might be wary of this tradition, but not for the reasons you might think. Some people feel ashamed that the only weekend plans they have are to cuddle in bed with their cats and read a good book, while others go out and enjoy their youth at some club, but we say, not anymore. 

These days, being an introvert is not only acceptable, but it is the superior way of life. You should have no problem going into great detail about your favorite things to do during the weekend, even if it's mostly sleep, eat, cuddle with your cat, and read. You should be proud to be the homebodies that you are, and have no shame in it whatsoever. 

That being said, when we say that our plan for the weekend is to stay home, read, and do nothing, we don't say it as an invitation for people in the office to turn to us and ask for recommendations on what they should do while in bed all weekend long. Sure, we are great introverts, and we are proud of it, but suddenly, everyone wants book or TV recommendations, or they want to know what take-out we had on Friday night. Since when are we the influencers on how to spend the perfect night indoors? We don't like people; that is why we preferred to spend the weekend with our cats in the first place. Why would anyone turn to us for advice?

Either way, if you are looking for a fun activity to do this weekend, look no more, because we have a collection of hissterical cat memes just waiting for you below. Trust us, it is the purrfect introverted passtime.

When things work in thirds, you know it's some fairytale type of thing. When there's that amount of repetition, it's time to take it seriously. 

Imagine it happening three times! What would you do?

From Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, this lucky person got visited by the CDS three times already. Since they're used to how it works, they knew exactly what to do. They noticed paw prints all over the car and motorcycle, but they had no idea why it was only on their car. They park in a covered space with storage above, so it seemed like a mystery. They were preparing for a motorcycle ride when they saw kittens scrambling around. They immediately got them so they wouldn't be hurt or anything. The mom is a kitten herself, so they want to capture her and protect her. She didn't look happy to see her kittens being snatched, but she is next on their list for them to adopt! Read the full story for all the adorable details. 

What do you usually do on Fridays? 

It's springtime, which in most places means there's sunshine, flowers blooming, and a sense of joy in the air. Combine spring weather with the weekend and you've got yourself a recipe for fun. There's something magical about curling up with your cat on a sunshine-filled spring weekend day. You're cozy, you're warm from the inside and out, and you don't even have to go to work. The weekend is purrfect for exonerating yourself from your responsibilities of life, and to have a little break from the constant socializing with people you'd prefer not to see.  

Spring weekends have a meowgical ease to them that it feels unreal, like you're floating on a cloud. The sunlight lingers through your window like a halation of calmness, you can feel the air's breeze gently caress you, and the world seems to loosen itself and it's tightness. Months of cold weather has led to this point of springtime purrfection. There's no better way to spend the weekend's long days than curled up beside your cat, and watching the world around you. 

Cats were designed for cozy. The way they loaf, lay, curl, and lick themselves silly is direct proof that they were meant to be like this. They instinctively seek out the warmest patches of sunlight in the house, they stretch dramatically on the floor. They bask in sunlight like a plant in photosynthesis. So before you go back to work on Monday, make sure to scroll this collection of cat memes.
