Anyone out there who still thinks that cats are aloof creatures who don't get attached and don't care about their humans… needs to watch more cat videos online. Because nothing can be further from the truth. Cats love their humans. So much. They appreciate your kindness, the gentleness you show them. They may not know how to express their feelings in the most obvious way, but that doesn't mean that they don't feel them. And they don't forget you. Not even when you are not there. 

The cat in this video is proof of that. This cat had been meowing loudly at this woman's door consistently for a long, long time. It looked like she desperately wanted to come in. But every time the woman opened the door for the cat, the cat walked away, hissing, angry, disappointed. It looks a minute to figure out why she was doing this, but eventually, it started making sense. After contacting the previous resident of the apartment that the woman is living in, she found out that those residents moved out and, unfortunately, had to leave the kitty behind. The kitty, not understand what happened or why there are new people living where the others did before, keeps trying to get in… and find them again. 

Unlike when you go on Facebook Marketplace to buy a second-hand sofa, when someone decides to adopt a pet, it shouldn't be based on a picture and a short description. Adopting a pet is a huge deal, a question of compatibility and bond, not just whether you liked the color of their fur and the general description of their personality.

Which means that if you want to adopt a pet you found in a post on social media, you have to arrange a meeting first, to make sure you actually belong together. Just like any relationship, you must check the waters and ensure the adoption is a good fit.

That is a vital step that the woman in the story below skipped. She planned to adopt a kitten she had never met, and didn't intend to meet before adopting her. However, she needed a few weeks before adopting the kitten, and while the owner initially agreed, this led the foster family to bond with the kitten in the meantime.

Now, the foster family doesn't want to give the kitten up, and the original adopter, despite never even meeting the cat, refuses to give up…

Cats absolutely adore their hoomans… but their reasons are a perfect mix of heartfelt and hilariously self-interested. Yes, they love you, but they also love that you're the reliable provider of snacks, warmth, and a perfectly cushioned lap. One reason for affection? You open the food container. Another? You know just the right spot to scratch. Cats may be mysterious, but they're not subtle about appreciating the perks.

They show love by weaving around your legs, not just because they missed you, but because you might trip and spill treats. They stretch out on your chest because they feel safe there and because it's the warmest seat in the house. And that slow blink you get from across the room? Deep affection, of course… plus a reminder to keep the treats coming.

Even their "gifts" are a mix of sweet and slightly chaotic. A toy dropped at your feet is love. A shoe stolen from your closet? Love with a dash of mischief. At the end of the day, cats show affection in funny, tiny, charming ways. They may love your heart, but they definitely also love your snack-dispensing hands.

Cats may not be the first animals you think of when it comes to beach days, but the ones who've tasted that warm, sandy sunshine seem to miss it the most. Looking back at photos of cats lounging by the shore, stretched out on sun-drenched towels, or curiously patting at tide pools, it's easy to see why they'd want those golden days back. Warm sand under their paws, ocean breezes ruffling their whiskers, and endless sunny spots to snooze in. It's basically a paradise built for feline relaxation.

Now that the weather has cooled, those warm memories feel even sweeter. These beach lounging cats suddenly seems to be thinking, "Take me back. Even the curious explorers sniffing seaweed or watching seagulls look like they were living their best summer lives.

As colder days settle in, these beach photos feel like little portals to brighter moments. They remind us how naturally cats melt into sunshine, how happy they look exploring new places, and how full of purrsonality they can be when the world is warm and inviting. 

Going on vacation is a double edged sword. On one hand, it's exciting and an opportunity to experience a new place, new people, eat delicious foods, and gain insight into another culture, to take a break from the grind and 9-5 pace. On the other hand, it's planning, booking hotels, spending hours flying somewhere and waiting in lines at the airport, and can feel overwhelming to feel pressure to do a lot while you're there. It's not always easy to leave your day to day life, even if it's for a vacation. The best vacation to me is just to be resting at home, have my comfort things, my anime shows, and my cat. 

The couple in the story below leave for a long vacation, and they have anxiety about leaving their cat. They've left for a trip before, but this time they're extra nervous because they can see their cat waiting by the door and crying. Would you leave your cat for a long trip even if someone was coming to watch it? A lot of the comments are claiming it's cruel to do, and that they wouldn't. Depending on the cat, it could be cruel, or the cat could be fine. 

Got a case of the Mondays? Because if you do, these cat memes are sure to turn around the beginning of the week funk! The alarm goes off, your cat is in your face meowing, you have the previous evenings engagements still rolling around in your brain, and the last thing you want to do is go to work. You get up and out of bed, you go towards the bathroom where your cat playfully follows you, still meowing as you brush your teeth. That tiny thing is just hankering for a bit of breakfast before you leave for work. 

On the ride to work, you have two options. One is to grunt at the cars next to you and ruminate on the chaos of life, or it's to ponder the beauty and curiosity of cat memes. The glorious, chaotic, life-giving kitty memes. And not just a few… but thirty. A whole purr-ade of whiskered wonders ready to tackle your Monday blues head-on. Why do cat memes work so well? It's science (probably). Something about a perfectly timed blep, a dramatically offended tuxedo cat, or a chunky tabby looking like he's about to file HR complaints against the vacuum cleaner. One scroll, and suddenly your shoulders relax. Two scrolls, and you're giggling at a cat standing like a man. Three scrolls, and you've activated the ancient mood-boosting chakra known as "awww."

Dog people, they just cannot seem to stop falling in love with cats. Honestly, to begin with we were happy to see them convert to the right side of things. But with time, we have begun to feel as though we might need to implement more screening processes or at least make them pass some sort of test before they become feline pawrents, because the sheer numbers of them that make the conversion from canine connoisseur to feline fanatic is getting out of hand.

Case in point, the story that we have lined up today, which tells the tale of an American dog person who developed a profound love of cats when she moved to Europe. Not that the continent has all too much to do with her feline conversion, but nonetheless it was there that she learned to love not one, but two cute cattos and finally understood the unquestionable superiority of cats over dogs. Another one bites the dust as they say…

Welcome back to another working week and all the woes that come with it. But this week we are trying our best to stay pawsitive and kick things off with a little bit of a party, a cat birthday party to be specific. Because there is nothing more similar than having to go to work on Monday morning than a cat living through their birthday. Neither of you want to be doing what you are doing, but you know very well that your access to food and shelter very much depend upon your participation.

And so you are left with little option other than to lean in and close your eyes until it's over. Heck, sometimes it is even a little fun. Well, the cat birthday parties more so than the office on a Monday. And while cats might not enjoy getting dressed in silly hats and outfits, we most certainly do, so we figured we would make this Monday that little bit easier with a heartwarming collection of cute cats on their birthdays.

We have a feeling the Cat Distribution System works double shifts since winter is here now. And it's totally understandable - cats stranded in the cold with no warm place to call home is not a wanted situation. Not for the cats, and also for cat lovers worrying about all the sweet strays wandering the streets in low temperatures. Finding a warm home for a cat is like the most successful mission a person can make - and the CDS does it daily. Now in overtime, since winter has already come.

But it's not only the cats who feel the warmth of home when they're adopted. Humans' hearts might need some warm mending from time to time, and a cat at home is a purrfect solution. Take this one woman from below, who found this cute cat "parking" in her workplace parking spot, just after her two dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Losing two pets leaves a hole in any pet pawrent's heart - but healing it through a CDS cat adoption is a winter-negating warmth like no other.

What can we say - every cat lover already knows that cats are pawfessional heart healers, leaving their gentle paw prints on our moods, vibes, and minds. Adopting a cat is not only healing for our souls - but it also saves a soul from the cold outside.

If you've ever celebrated Christmas with a cat in the house, then you already know the truth: there is no holiday quite as chaotic, dramatic, and absolutely adorable as Catmas. Forget peaceful snowfalls and calm winter nights - the moment the tree goes up, the pspspirit of feline mischief awakens. Suddenly, your living room becomes a glitter-covered battleground where the ornaments fear for their lives and the tinsel accepts its fate.

You try… you really try. You hang the baubles high. You secure the tree with engineering-level determination. You say things like "Maybe this year Muffin will behave". Spoiler: Muffin does not behave.

Because for your cat, Christmas decorations are basically one big enrichment activity. A dangling ornament? That's a toy. Wrapping paper? A personal shredding experience. Gift boxes? Prime napping real estate. The tree? Their Everest. And you? You're the helpless spectator holding a cup of hot cocoa, whispering "Please don't climb it… please don't climb it… oh no, they're climbing it".

But honestly? We wouldn't trade the cat chaos for anything. Christmas with cats is messy, ridiculous, and filled with more laughter than any ironic watch of a Hallmark movie could ever provide. So to celebrate the season properly, here are some Christmas cat memes of pure festive feline chaos - the purrfect way to feel the feline holiday pspspirit without having to rescue your tree (again). Merry Catmas!

2025 is over in one month. Just sit for a second and digest that. Another year zoomied right on by, and we're about to be another year older. Where did this year go? It feels like it was just January a few days ago, but then we blinked, and now it's nearly 2026. Time really does go by faster as you age!

As we go into the last 31 days of the year, we want to take a step back and look at our accomplishments this year, things we want to achieve next year, and how we want to send off 2025 and enter 2026. Purrsonally, 2025 was a year of growth. That doesn't mean it was all sunshine and feather toys; growing can sometimes be painful, but once you get through it, you come out a better purrson.

In 2026, we're manifesting money. And how do we plan on getting that? With cattitude. We're going to walk into rooms and take what we think is ours without hesitating. It's something that's a bit foreign for us, as we're usually the peacemaker, but that's all going to change. In order to fire up our feisty feline spirit, we've got some purrfectly fortuitous fluffy feline funnies below. These cats are sassy, silly, and predict the future with 99.9%* accuracy. With these feisty felines guiding us, we're sure we'll knock so many things off of tables next year. We can feel it already!

*Not an actual fact, the accuracy is more like 1%.

Cats and snow go together like peanut butter and pickles - they just don't. They may seem purrfectly interested in it - who wouldn't be when seeing little white flakes fall down from the sky for the furst time? But as soon as they put their paws in that cold, wet snow, they're already halfway back inside, yelling at you for not stopping them sooner. We all know that felines love warm things, like hogging the heater, getting snuggled up under blankets, or loafing in between your legs for maximum security and warmth. Snow provides none of those adorable amenities, and thus, they're fated to be mortal enemies.

Now, surely there are some cats that like snow, but that's a topic for a different article. Today, we're enjoying all the dramatic divas of the cat world who discovered snow…. but are not having a good time at all. You can expect purrfectly regretful faces, all the airplane ears, and a whole litter box of feisty feline energy. Because, of course, it's your fault that the snow is cold and makes their paws all wet. It's also your fault for letting them try something new. It doesn't matter if you told them before. They still did it, had a terrible time, and now, you will pay. And revenge is a dish best served cold.

No matter how many people we have asked to tell us the stories of how they adopted their cats, every single time we do, we get something amazing. There is not one boring cat adoption story out there. Even if it's just someone walking into a shelter, specifically aiming to adopt a cat, it's never just that. It is always a story about connection, about how instantly, they looked at their future cat and knew the cat was coming home with them. But it's rarely as simple as going to the shelter. 

More often, what happens is kind of what happened in this story. Out of nowhere, as you are going about your regular, simple day-to-day life, a cat comes running at you and makes you theirs. The cat chooses you and makes their decision known. All that is left for you to do is accept your fate and then tell the wholesome and adorable story of how your cat chose you to us, so we can swoon over it. 

Happyyyy meowrning, cat people! Sunday Funday is finally here, and that means that it is officially time to have. some. fun. And we don't know about you, but to cat people like us, that means a few things. It means spending our day being… cats. It means chilling as much as we want, napping whenever we feel like it, snacking every time the urge strikes us and, if something annoys us, it means smacking it right in the face. But before all of that, before we even get out of bed, we need to do one thing, and that is start our morning with some funny cat memes. 

It's a good thing then, that every single Funday, we bring you a brand new, fresh collection of cat memes to enjoy first thing in the morning. And these are not just any cat memes. These are the best cat memes that twitter had to offer us this week. The most viral, the funniest, the most heartwarming, we have it al right here, all to make sure that you start your Funday on the right paw. 

By now, anyone who has even taken in a cat knows how much of a choice cats have in their adoption. If they do not want to be rescued or taken in, that would simply not happen. They have to want it, and often make that "first step", to ensure they are found by the purrfect hooman who can find them a furever home.

Sometimes, it's crystal clear just how much cats know they are in desperate need of a home, as they would do just about anything to find their hooman, to get the cat distribution system into action.

Take the sweet cat below as an example. It seems like this cute calico cat knew she was sick, and she knew she needed the help of a trusty hooman to get better. So, with the help of the cat distribution system, she found the perfect hooman for her cause, and simply came into their office. She then proceeded to fall asleep on top of the hooman's car, which convinced them that they must help the sweet stray with her journey to recovery.
