If you have an adopted cat or have even been to a shelter to visit all of the adoptable felines, you know that they sometimes have some seriously wacky names. If you're bored, why don't you pull up a website of adoptable cats and purruse yourself through their very…unique names. When I adopted my doggo, his shelter name was Helmes. Eventually, I changed it, but honestly, the name kind of fit. He has the personality of a grumpy old man, so I'd say the shelter workers were pretty spot on in coming up with Helmes. At the same shelter, there was Sharknado Joe, a white Pitbull bursting with energy and completely oblivious to his own size, so I'd say that name suited him quite well, too. But the cats might have the shelter dogs topped. Quite a few hoomans chimed into this Reddit thread below to share what names their felines were given at the shelter before they changed them. So, if you're in the mood for a good laugh, keep scrolling.

As cat lovers, Fridays are our favorite days. Friday means that the weekend is almost here, and we get to go home soon and spend some quality time with our feline companions. After a long week, there is nothing better than coming home to our cats, who are always ready for some serious cuddling. 

Fridays are the beginning of a glorious time dedicated to cat companionship and cuddles. The moment we walk through the door Friday evening, our cats greet us with soft purrs and gentle head bumps, making us feel instantly at ease. These are the moments we look forward to all week long. 

Weekends with our cats are the best. Whether we're lounging on the couch, binge-watching our favorite shows with a cat on our lap, or playing with their favorite toys - every moment is better with them. With that being said, today we're presenting you with the purrrfect batch of cat memes to start your Caturday countdown!

There is no other animal that walks this earth that has the super specific ability to be completely ungovernable in any and all situations. Aside from the common cases of cats rebuffing their pawrents' attempts at attention, they have been known to slap lions, ignore the cries for help from any other species and most troubling of all actively act against the survival of certain species when the opportunity arises. And if you find the idea of becoming a chaotic cat, then we have got just the inspirational list of feline funnies for you hoomans who also wish to become ungovernable.

From the unexpected combination between cat and boat that has let one particular feline drift downstream of its problems and nay sayers, to the dominating feline who is ungovernable in itself but utterly obsessed with governing others, to the imposter kitten who is trying its hand at selling itself as a packet of potato chips, to limited success.

Just because the sun is out and the summer is here, does not mean it is no longer snuggle weather. And yes while it might be a little too hot to actually snuggle with your favorite pawson or feline while outdoors in the sun, you always have the shade or the air con to resort to if things get a little too sweaty. Meaning that there is simply no excuse to avoid indulging in this list of pawdorable feline funnies to set you up for a weekend of snuggly sunbathing.

From the cute kitten who is so excited for his weekend snuggles that he is already practicing with his favorite soft toy, to the orange catto who will stop at nothing to get to you to snuggle, no table, computer or door shall stop him, to the god-like feline who has harnessed the hot power of the sun to shine good vibes upon you.

One of the things that we love most about cats is their purrfectly hissterical expressions. From being caught in the middle of an existential crisis to smiling like they just unboxed a fresh box of catnip, our cats fill our lives with cattitude of epic feline purrportions. This is especially true (and cute) when you have a cat with eyebrows. These funny felines are here to express all their sass, displeasure (or pleasure), and shook feelings for our hooman amusement. 

Since it's Furiday, we thought that some cats with purrfectly pawdorable eyebrows would be the best way to end the work week. They're cute, they're hilarious, and we want to adopt all of them right now. Whether you're having a good day or not, these furbulous felines are sure take you from Furiday to Caturday with a smile on your face. Enjoy this brow-mazing treat and have a great end of your work week!

Cat people, cat people, calling all cat people! Gather 'round, for you're about to see the most wholesome, most pawadorable, most heartwarming collection of posts on the internet. Oh yeah, it's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every single Friday, we start your day off by bringing you the cutest cat adoption stories we found on the web. Because the most pawsitive way to start any day is with a collection of adorable kitty cats finding their furrever homes.

As always, thank you to everyone who adopted a cat this week. And to those of you who adopted the 'less than pawfect' cats - the cats with health issues, the cats with behavioral issues, the distinguished senior cats - we say an even bigger thank you. The road may not be the easiest, but you have done something amazing, and you will be rewarded with the best companion you've ever had.

The bigger the cat, the more cat there is to love. That is and has always been our motto, and we are sticking to it. There is more cat to hug and to cuddle with, bigger beans to squish, more belly to pet when we're allowed to pet it. More purrfection to enjoy. It's why we love Maine Coon cats so much, and why we're so obsessed with Norwegian Forest cats, and why we can't shut up about Turkish Van cats. Because they're so big, bold and beautiful. All of them. 

And today, we're showcasing another beautiful beast of a cat - the Siberian Forest cat. Playful, intelligent, and oh, so kind. Sure, they might shed a lot, but they are like a small horse in size. Who would not want to have one of these to cuddle with in their home?

Summer is here, the sun is out, our cats are finding rays of sunshine everywhere to lie down on, and we are so, so ready for vacation. Yup, we know that summer has only started, but we're tired from all this heat anyway. Literally and metaphorically. There has been an intense start to this summer, and we need something to remind us that vacation is coming. Something pure and pawsitive that feels like a beachday full of fun in the sum. We need some funny cat memes. 

Hey, laughing at cat memes is good during any and all times of the year, but it is especially impurrtant to start our days with silly feline funnies when the heat is oh, so hot. We hope these memes give you the distraction you are looking for, friends, and we wish us all a happy and calm rest of the summer.

And that means mama cat, too!

It's always a little treat looking at cute cattos

Cats are far from innocent, they're just too hard to catch. 

The reason we never see our felines committing feline-ies (felonies, but for cats), is because they're too gosh darn clever to get caught in the act. However, there are a few moments in every cat person's existence where they find their kitty with a paw in the metaphorical cookie jar, being a rebellious feline in 4k. 

Usually, we rush to the scene of the kitty crimes because we hear the loud crashing sound of a broken pot, the hissterical clang of knocked-over knick-knacks, or the meowsome entanglement of multicat battles underneath the bedstand–but by the time we've clamored into position to break up the chaos, our kitties are innocently sitting with glowing orb-like eyes, a twitching tail, and a secretive smile hiding behind their snoot. They know they've been bad, but simply don't care. 

That's why we love cats though. They could attack our feet at the end of the bed while we're in deep sleep and we'd still worship at the altar of their tiny toe beans. With one swish of its floofy tail and the briefest moment of unadulterated purring, the cat apawlagetically touches our hearts and melts our furies away. 

For even a rebellious cat can do no wrong.

If you've ever browsed one of those adoption websites, whether it's a local pet finder that will curate a list of all of the adoptable felines in your area or simply looked at your local shelter's current adoptable animal list, it's impossible not to want to take home every single cat. And trust us, we've definitely thought about it too. Why have one cat when you can have, I don't know, six cats? It's so hard to read about their stories of tough upbringings and see their sad little faces, and not want to rescue them immediately - just like these cat owners did. In this thread below, a bunch of pawrents jumped in to share the photos that made them adopt their furrever friends. And fair warning - they will melt your heart. So, if you're in the market for a cat, let this be your inspiration to start doing some online research. Disclaimer: we are not responsible for the number of cats you may end up with.

Cats are just the best, aren't they? With their adorable little faces and silly purrrsonalities, they bring so much joy into our lives. Any cat owner will tell you that it's hard not to smile when you see a cat doing something cute and silly or snuggling up for a nap. Their cuteness is just…. irresistible. 

One of the best things about cats is how they can turn any moment into something special. Whether they're chasing invisible ghosts, pouncing on shadows, or hunting bugs - they have a way of making us laugh and feel happy no matter what they do. What can I say? Cats are a constant source of entertainment. 

Cats also have a wonderfully unique way of showing affection. When they curl up on our laps, purr, and nuzzle our hands, they're basically saying 'I love you, hooman'. These moments of connection make us feel so appreciated and loved. Simply put, cats are pure joy wrapped in fur, and we're lucky to have them as part of our lives.
