From rags to riches, just as any one brain cell orange deserves! 

An orange cat was left outside to wander the neighborhood. A property manager saw her and thought to make a notice about it, rightfully so. He also put a box and food out, and then the woman heard the meowing. The woman nor her partner saw anything, and then it happened. While walking her dog, she saw the skinny little thing. She felt that the cat wasn't getting enough food and went to get more food. The orange followed her around, and eventually let her pick her up. The couple was initially going to keep her outside until they could seal in a vet appointment since they had a dog and cat already, but the cat didn't let them make that decision. They made the home ready for the orange cat after assuming she was dumped by the former or current tenant. She can now use the litter box and she's very social. She's good with the other cat, and curious but weary about the dog. 

After the vet appointment, it was cleared that she's in good health, and the couple couldn't be happier about getting this little orange kitty. 

What are your usual Friday night plans? 

Friday night is special for basically everyone with a normal 9-5 job. We all look forward to the weekend. Whether we're 20 years old and living with our parents, a millennial just trying to make sense of the world, or a working parent who is way overdue for a treat yourself vacation, we all love Friday. Friday is the weekend, and it's the first breath of fresh air after a long work week. Feisty felines are not only adorable, but they're a purrfect way to decompress from everything, and spend Friday night in a safe chaos. 

There's something symbolic about Friday night. It marks the transition from obligation to freedom, even if only temporarily. People leave offices, classrooms, and busy routines with the feeling that they've earned a break. You can see it everywhere: in crowded restaurants, glowing city streets, cozy living rooms, and group chats suddenly full of plans. A Friday night shouldn't be too stressful; it should be the purrfect convalescing balance of cozy, comfort, fun, feisty, and chaotic. 

This life is so outlandish, so unreal that it can be tough to know how to behave. That is why we need the guidance of our elders to show us the way, much like our feisty feline did at the beginning of this story.

Not all cat adoptions are purrfect, there we said it. As we all know, cats are excellent liars and with little to no effort are more than capable of putting together a sweet and sensitive appearance, only to go full goblin mode the moment they enter your home. And this is where we meet the cat in question. Freshly added to the home of his furever family under the impression that he is to be the sweetest boy, only to quickly find out that his sweet boy gets his kicks from taking down young girls.

An act which cannot be tolerated as much as cats like to think that they control us and keep us in line, it is the opposite that is true and if these hoomans did not step in to sort things out we do not know what could have happened here. Sop strap in for a wild ride of cat pawrenthood and all the madness that comes with it. 
 

Before takeoff, please make sure your seat is in the upright position, your tray table is closed and locked, and no cats are sitting in your exhaust pipe. 

It seems like every time we get into our car, and before we actually start driving, we should do a quick check to ensure there are no cats hidden somewhere you can't see. 

Apparently, some cats find the undercarriage of cars comforting and warm, so they will climb up there and get comfortable while the cars are parked. The problem is, they don't always know when it's time to climb back out, so many felines find themselves stuck up there while a clueless hooman uses the car on a casual drive.

So, if you can, maybe do a swift check before you hit that gas pedal, because you can never know if today is the day a stray cat has chosen your car as it's safehaven.

When the little kitten below found herself traveling 60mph while sitting in a random car's undercarriage, she immediately started meowing and trying to inform the driver that she was down there. Despite hearing her call for help, the driver could not find the source and kept driving all the way home without knowing of the small feline in their car.

It was only hours after that, when the family was sitting down for dinner, that they all heard the kitten's cry for help again and managed to find her hiding in the garage…

Good things happen when you pspsps into the void.

The universe often informs cat lovers of when they are to become cat owners, but when you pspsps in the wind, sometimes you can speed up the process. 

This skeptical cat enthusiast didn't believe in the power of cat coercion, spending a lifetime believing that felines were whimsical, magical, and ornery beings that couldn't be swayed by the mere powers of humanity. While they were totally right (about the whimsy and cat meowgic), this hooman missed a crucial detail when formulating their expectations around cats. 

Kitties can't resist a pspsps. 

While it's not entirely sure why cats are so drawn to the sound, it works just the same. Cats hear a pspsps, and they come running from all angles, and if you're lucky, you'll score the catch of the day in the cat department, just like this well-welcomed cat lover did when they became rightful cat servants to a newfound stray.

Cats rescue us from a bad mew'd on a daily basis. 

Just when cat lovers think that their day is just another unsalvageable round-trip journey to Bummer Town, an adorable feline steps in to turn the tide. Like a powerful meowfrodesiac, cats hypnotize the cat lover's brain, turning frowns into smiles, silence into purrs, and empty hands into pet machines. Cats have that effect on us. 

Purrhaps it's the cuteness of their faces or the smolness of their toe beans, but cats bring an unexpected and mysterious wave of happiness into every meowment, shining like the sun on our shaded faces and lighting the way forward. To sound anything less than profound, cats are happiness embodied. 

You never know when it will take a dog to bring home a cat.

But if you are the pawrent who this happens to then you are amongst the luckiest cat pawrents we have ever heard off. Just think for a moment how many things have to happen so that a dog would willingly bring home a cat. First off the dog needs to not only be ok with cats, they have to actually like them. Then you have the small detail that the abandoned cat outside would actually want to come along with the dog.

A level of trust in doggos that is almost unheard of in the feline world. And then you have to have the settling in of this new feline addition to your home run smoothly with whatever other pets you have in your home. All in all, for this kind of thing to work out without any tears is a miracle and that is exactly what happened to one cat loving couple just as they began mourning the loss of their soul cat. Making it a double miracle!
 

To be uplifted is to know that everything is right in the world. So here is a reminder that the world is as it should be because cats are still being silly and acting the fool.

As it is often said, it is the little things in life that make it so good. And if we are looking for signs that everything is still ok, it only makes sense that we would begin with the little things. So by that logic as long as cats still have their delightfully derpy moments. The ones where it feels as though the incredible amount of intelligence that exists within their brains disappears instantly. The world is still ok, it is still spinning and there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

And seeing as that is the case and we have put together this list of hilarious cats being random and weird, you can take a well earned sigh of relief for yourself and know that the world will be ok, at least for one more day. So go forth, scroll to your heart's content and see that everything is right with the world. 
 

Some people prefer cozy movie nights to beach days, but what do you prefer? 

Winter is quiet, it's still, it's staid, and no other season holds what it holds. The world seems to slow down as colder air settles in, skeleton trees stand baren against pallid skies, and sunsets are before you're even off work. There's a stillness in winter that can feel both peaceful and melancholic, depending on the day. The season changes everything about our days. Everyone's seen with a warm mug, or a cozy blanket. A glowing lamp in a dark room, the sound of rain against a window, or the feeling of stepping inside from the cold can suddenly feel deeply comforting. The cats below are winter cats – they miss the sound of rain, seeing the sleet and snow out their window. Summer has it's qualities, but there's nothing like the stillness and beauty of winter. Enjoy these cats cuddled up and cozy to reminisce winter months. 

If you were left with a kitten during move in, would you keep him? 

Moving is stressful enough without the daunting task of animal care. This guy started moving into a new place, and during his first day there he saw this tiny grey kitten meowing at him from the side yard. The kitten hung around there all day, which is already shocking for a cat. They talked to the neighbors, and were informed that the last tenants had a bunch of cats, but left this one behind. The neighbors have been feeing him, but can't take him in due to an allergy. So this guy decides it's time for the cat distribution system to find him. 

Feral cats' transformations are ameowzing.

Thinking of the long way a feral cat has to make to become a house prince or princess is so incomprehensible sometimes. And that's without even talking yet about the effort their humans need to do to help that happen. Former feral cats who are used to the hardships of living in the streets have such a sharp curve to go through before they can trust that the home they're in is really the forever home they were wishing for - even if they didn't know they were wishing for one at all.

Think of all the things a cat might experience outside, alone, with no one to care for them - lack of food, harsh weather, fights for territory, dangerous roads, predator roaming animals, and sometimes even people who behave abhorrently towards cats. All these things cat creat cats who are anxious, reserved, and hard of trusting. All these things happen to them, but all cats need is love. And it's hard receiving love with open paws when all you've ever known are trials and tribulations.

Following a journey of former feral cats is an ameowzing transformation to watch. And it's also with a lot of thanks to the humans who are willing to take them in and guide them through this wholesome ride. People who are willing to adopt a feral cat are people with bravery that not everyone has. Luckily for this sweet cat below, he has the most patient family, who shares his journey with the rest of the online cat community.

Do you think cats would also enjoy cat memes?

It's not a secret that we adore cat memes. We are I Can Has Cheezburger, after all. But that's because of the great combination of these two concepts that we love. It's all in the name: cats and memes. We love cats. We're all cat people here, and we can safely assume all you reading this are cat lovers as well, if not cat pawrents reading these very lines while a cat is purring in your lap. Cat people's adoration of cats knows no bounds - and we're no different. So, obviously, anything that has cats in it has our love and appreciation.

And memes? Memes are a whole wide category of humor bits that almost all of humanity enjoys. We might not be memetics history experts, but just like any common person in modern society, we enjoy memes immensely. If you're into the general side of memes, definitely check out Memebase. But as we said, we're ICHC, and we're proud to give you cat memes galore each and every day. It's that combination of cats and memes that makes us feel all that feline delight, and we love every second of it.

But it makes us think - if cats could, would they enjoy cat memes the same way we do? Would they recognize their own greatness and adore the memes depicting them, or would they feel like we do when we look at human memes? Or, alternatively, do cats actually understand cat memes already, but keep quiet about it so we won't suspect a thing? So many existential questions in the morning… let's just enjoy some cat memes instead.

Tiny vampire teef always make cats look extra mischievous.

Cats with tiny little teef always look like they just crawled out of a very adorable vampire castle. One tiny fang slips out and suddenly the whole cat changes personalities. Regular house cat? Gone. Now it's Count Meowcula lurking around the apartment at 3am looking for chaos and snacks. Tiny teef really add so much drama for absolutely no reason.

Kittens are especially cute. They're the size of a potato and somehow still convinced they're terrifying apex predators. Tiny vampire fangs chomping on hoodie strings, fingers, phone chargers, chair legs, absolutely anything nearby. Full meowster of darkness behavior packed into six pounds of fluff and bad decisions. They'll bite your hand with microscopic little teef and then immediately fall asleep sitting upright five minutes later.

Some cats permanently have one fang sticking out all day too. Walking around looking like tiny haunted gremlins. It somehow improves every facial expression. Grumpy cats become dramatic villains. Sleepy cats look extra goofy. Serious cats instantly lose all intimidation points because one little tooth is hanging out like they forgot to finish getting dressed.

The random surprise teef sightings are elite cat behavior too. Mid-yawn. Mid-blep. Mid-stare from across the room while plotting absolutely nothing important. Suddenly there's one tiny fang poking out and the cat looks like it's trying incredibly hard to maintain dignity while failing spectacularly. Tiny teef really turn every cat into a furry little creature of the night. 

The CDS fast-tracked Archie straight to his new human.

One person had just moved into their own place and planned to wait a month or two before adopting a cat from a local shelter. Meanwhile, Archie clearly had other plans.

The orange kitten had originally been found alone in a drain at only eight weeks old before eventually ending up with the owner's mother after another placement didn't work out. By that point Archie was around five months old, full of energy, and apparently causing complete chaos around the other animals in the house. Very standard orange cat behavior.

The owner met Archie shortly after he moved in with their mother, and the connection happened immediately. Once they got their own apartment, the idea came up to see if Archie might do better there instead. During the second visit, Archie basically made the decision himself. He ran straight over, climbed into their lap, and settled in like he already knew exactly where he belonged.

Now Archie already acts like he owns the apartment. He sleeps at the end of the bed, investigates every little noise like tiny orange security, and completely passes out asleep in somebody's arms after only a few days there. Orange cats always seem to come with extra personality too. A little chaotic, a little dramatic, and somehow unbelievably affectionate at the same time.

Are you working hard, or hardly working?

Corporate life is no joke. Going into the office and doing the same thing day after day can make you feel like you're in an episode of The Twilight Zone. Coffee room small talk, forced lunch conversations with coworkers, and meetings with clients just make us wish we were home with our cats even more. Our cats don't ask us to "circle back" onto something that should be easily understandable and achievable right now. But alas, we will always have things to "touch base on later" and ideas to inevitably "run up the flag pole".

It's Thursday, meaning we're already mentally checked out. We are, however, checked in to our weekend, and we're meownifesting a long one of doing absolutely nothing. No people, no plans - just us and our cats. The only hooman interaction we want is opening the door and saying "Thank you" to the delivery purrson bringing us our takeout. It sounds purrfectly peaceful and the exact reset we need to keep on keeping on for another week. And another week. And the week after that.

If this purrposal also sounds like a slice of heaven to you, then we think you're the kind of purrson who will love our feisty feline funnies below. We can describe you in a few phrases - humor us and read through them. You prefer hanging out with your cats over hoomans, you enjoy a good book over a loud concert, and whenever you do end up going to a social event, you make friends with the resident cat at the party instead of other people. Were we right?

What is your cat's love language?

Even though hoomans have many love languages, we're not sure those properly translate into cat. If you ask us, with our years of experience with plenty of furriendly felines, cats have different types of love languages that come to light once they decide they love their devoted pawrents.

One common love language that both hoomans and cats have is, of course, physical touch, yet we wouldn't say cats and people show it in the same way. We hoomans show our physical love with kisses and hugs, sometimes even cuddles. Cats show their love physically by sitting on their owners' laps, sometimes even on their faces, and by refusing to move an inch once they've settled and are comfortable. It's the same love… simply shown differently.

Other than this specific love language, many of the ways cats decide to show their love are quite unique. Last time we checked, there was no hooman love language that involved causing pain to the person we love, yet cats do that all the time. They will playfully scratch and bite the people they love, and inflict physical pain just for fun. It's not meant to come across as mean or hateful; it is how some cats show their love.

Another cat love language that doesn't exist among hoomans is distance. If one person is putting distance between them and someone else, it usually means the opposite of love, but when it happens with your cat, you can tell they do it because they trust you. Your cat might not cuddle with you, and they might sit as far away from you as the couch allows, but the fact that they are there with you at all shows how much they trust you and want to watch you and make sure you're okay.

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we also show our love differently than other hoomans… we do it through memes. So scroll down to enjoy this collection of hissterical cat memes.

It's Wednesday, my dudes. Have you meowed at your cat yet?

What would happen if you did? Say, "Sorry, boss, I have a meeting right now, can't talk!" and then go home and just meow at your cat for like 20 minutes. That sounds like very important work. It's the middle of the week, so things can go either way. Either you LOL, maybe your boss also LOLs, your cat meows in confusion, and you go on with your life. Or you meow, and LOL, and your boss is submitting your behavior to HR, and your cat still meows, but not in confusion, now it's in concern. The possibilities are endless because it's Wednesday! (And yes, I still have to say wed-nes-day every time I write out that dang word…)

Cat lady memes have officially evolved far beyond outdated stereotypes and into something much more aspirational. These days, being a cat lady mostly means protecting your peace, embracing cozy happiness, and surrounding yourself with tiny furry roommates who provide emotional support, mild chaos, and absolutely zero judgment about your life choices.

Happy birthday to all the fluffy little party animals out there.

These adorable birthday kitties are celebrating their big day with cake, treats, tiny hats, and the exact amount of chaos you'd expect from cats at a party.

These cats aren't overweight. They're just furtunately blessed with extra love to give.

Chunky cats don't walk into a room, they arrive. And once they've found the good spot on the couch, the sunbeam, or the exact center of your lap, they settle in with the quiet confidence of someone who has never once questioned whether they belong there. Because they do. They absolutely do.
