If you have been wronged by your cat child and feel the need for some revenge then look no further than this cathartic collection of unflattering feline photos that prove that cats are not as cool as they think they are.

Everyday they waltz around our homes like little primadonnas, waving their tails in the air like they just do not care. And the second that something goes out of place, they are up in your face about it, putting you down for what is truly a relatively minor indiscretion. It can be incredibly frustrating as a pawrent, especially as there is no way to get back at them. Mainly because any attempt to do so will result in them getting back at you even harder.

For example, if you dared to change their food out for the cheap stuff, and they will scream at you at three in the morning while standing on your chest until you give up the good stuff. So we made this collection of unflattering felines to give you a virtual way to get back at them, or at the very least to remind you that they are not as purrfect as they like to think that they are. 
 

This couple notices a tiny stray, and they do the right thing just in the nick of time. 

It's easy to see a cat on the street and hope for its well-being, but it's another thing to take the cat in. This couple sees how small this kitten is, and even though she's so young, she's already pregnant! They worry for her and immediately bring her to the vet, where they decide to spay her. They love the idea of having a new kitten, but aren't prepared for the whole liter. They have a special name for her too – they name her Frida, because they see her as a feminist icon. 

Street cats often carry a history you'll never fully know. Maybe they were born outside. Maybe they were lost. Maybe they learned early that the world can be unpredictable. When you choose to bring one home, you're not just offering shelter — you're offering stability. A steady food bowl. A warm place to sleep. A door that closes safely at night.Read the full story below for all the details. 

3…2…1…here comes cats!

There are moments in our lives that mark us furrever. It could be a bad breakup, a career choice, meeting someone you never thought you could meet, or something serendipitous. We all have bad spells, times where we're down on our luck and try our best to pick ourselves up. Sometimes it feels like nothing seems to go right, and the weight of small frustrations and bigger disappointments presses down like a storm cloud you can't shake. During these times, it can feel impossible to imagine the light returning. But lifting yourself out of a bad spell is less about the sudden or dramatic shift in your life, but about the little deliberate steps that slowly reclaim your sense of agency. 

And sometimes a cat can be that shift. It may sound silly or dramatic, but it's not. Cats really have the whole package to help us grow, even if we don't realize it at the time. We don't necessarily know how bad we feel until we compare ourselves to someone else, someone who seems to have everything together. We might even look at our cats and think to ourselves, "wow, if only I was as happy and content as he is." And although it's unnecessary to compare ourselves or draw conclusions about others, cats really do have all the answers! Even if they don't go out and tell you, they're keeping secrets of life and happiness to themselves. But with a little bit of love, petting, and tuna they will reveal everything you ever wanted to know. So enjoy these adorable cats and remember life will get better.  

When they say the Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways - they really mean it.

When there's a raging rain storm outside, the last thing you expect to find is a screaming kitten. But such are the ways of the CDS, and the truly meowsterious ways it opperates in. It's like this secretive body / organization / witches coven, or whatever it is, can create the purrfect situation for a cat to be adopted - or at least fostered and nursed back to health, until they find their forever home. When people say that "the starts alligned" for them to adopt their cat - you know it's all thank to the Cat Distribution System.

But, as you may have already guessed, this one person really did find a kitten screaming in the rain. So while they didn't have any way to contact someone else, they decided "I will foster this flea-ridden feline and I will find them a forever home - just as any cat deserves." And we appreciate this person so much for doing so. Them, and anyone else who volunteers as a cat's foster.

Why do dog-lovers always feel the need to come for cat people? This boyfriend insisted to his girlfriend that dogs are better pets and lazy people choose cats over dogs. But then she pointed out how lazy he was, and all the dominoes started to fall.

We don't care what kind of animals you like as long as you're kind to them. We're not a huge fan of birds, but we're not going to spend our day dragging bird-lovers through the mud just because we think they're loud (the birds, not their owners). And yet, dog people love do this very thing to cat lovers. They are so vocal about their disdain for cats that they will go out of their way to make us feel like we're weirdos for preferring cats. 

We're also not here to get into an argument over which one is better. They're both great, we just like cats because they fit our lifestyle better, and we think they're the cutest things in the world. It doesn't mean we think dogs are ugly, far from it! Puppies are pawsitively squeal-worthy, and some doggos are meowtrageously cute, but we still love cats more.

Well, when this boyfriend confessed to his girlfriend that he thought only lazy people liked cats, then she felt he crossed a line. She pointed out that there are some days when he never leaves the house, and said, "It's gonna be a hard adjustment having to take your dog outside to walk and play every day". She's not wrong, and she continued to call out his hypocrisy below. It's purrfectly satisfying, and a win for all of us cat-lovers everywhere.

Who doesn't need a cute cluster of funny felines to make sure you start off the weekend on the right paw?

Furidays are the hardest day of the week to concentrate. A lot of people think Monday is the worst day for concentration, but they're wrong. Mondays, you're just simply tired. But on Fridays, you're so close to the weekend that you can almost taste it, and yet, you still have 7 hours and 59 minutes left of "work" before you're free for the weekend. It's the day when minutes feel like hours, and hours feel like weeks on end. It's easy to turn into a grumpy cat when you feel like time isn't moving. We know because we're there, right now.

There's a whole lot of science mumbo-jumbo about how you can be more purroductive, but that's not what we're here to talk about. We can't meowgically make you more productive, but we can fix your mood when you're feeling down in the dumps or stuck in a rut. For these times, there is only one pawssible solution for us feline fans to flip the script and turn your daw pawsitive: cats. 

We all know that cats are the solution to everything, but we're here to inform you that they're also your purrfect Friday cure to provide you feline feel goods and laughs. That way, you can finish your workday with a smile, a giggle, and a pawsitive attitude. Scroll through these fresh feline funnies that were made right here on I Can Has Cheezburger for some homegrown giggles and enjoy your weekend!

Finding a good cat sitter is hard, but sometimes, it's the cat owner who's in the wrong. 

We often talk about how difficult it is to find good cat sitters, and that is true. It is hard to find someone who you trust enough to take care of your kitty and your home. But we can admit that, sometimes, the trouble comes from the other direction too. We've heard of cat owners decide they don't want to pay their cat-sitters. We've heard of people demanding their cat-sitter pay thousands for a cat door in their own home that they will never use. We've even heard of someone asking their cat sitter to pay for cat therapy because the cat got too attached to the sitter. 

Just as much as it is the cat sitter's job to respect your boundaries, it is also your job to state these boundaries clearly. If you don't want someone eating your food, tell them that. If you don't want them using that specific towel, say that too. And if you tell someone that they can help themselves to anything in the kitchen, then you better mean that and not throw a fit when they accidentally open up and drink an expensive bottle of wine that you have been keeping. 

The cat meme bakery is officially open, and we are offering warm slices of happiness. 

That is truly how we think about purrfect cat memes like these. They are like itty bitty doses of joy injected straight into our hearts. During even the most difficult days, when things around the world seem crazy and our purrsonal lives are no better, we know that we can always take a little break, sit down, scroll through a bunch of silly cat memes and feel a bit better. And that is something that we cherish. 

Here at ICHC, we know the power of simple but funny cat memes like these. We know it because you guys and us - we are just alike. We know that if these memes make us happy, then they will make you happy as well. And we have made it our mission to bring as many of these memes as possible to as many people who need them as possible. Spread the joy. And all it takes to do it is just for you to take that five minute break that you absolutely deserve and allow yourself to gently giggle for a few minutes throughout your long day.

What are your hissterical cats up to today?

Even though they sleep around 18 hours a day, our cats never miss an opportunity to do something silly, which later becomes a precious memory we tell everyone we can. Just yesterday, our sweet calico cat, Coco, was playing fetch with us, chasing her little ball around the house. One of the times we threw the ball for her, she didn't really look where she was running to, and smashed into one of the walls. Obviously, nothing happened to her; she was just embarrassed at her failure. But we got to have a good laugh out of the whole thing, and a lovely memory to share.

Whenever one of our cats does something funny, we immediately go to our little live home camera and save the footage of the funny incident. So, not only do we have thousands of videos and pictures of our silly cats on our phones, but we also have hilarious security footage of all these moments we will cherish forever.

Since something silly and sweet happens almost every day, we are almost out of phone storage. So, in order to save some space, we must tell you all about these moments right here, and we can come back to read them whenever we want. Not only is it great to keep these memories alive, but if they make even one person smile, then we definitely consider our job well done. And if we are doing it, why not have you join us? You can tell us all about the latest hissterical story that happened to you, especially if you didn't get the chance to take a video or a picture of your furry friend while it happened.

In return for your purrfect stories, we offer this collection of the funniest cat memes we could find on the internet this week. Not only are they a great mood booster, but they might inspire your cats to try new and improved ways to make your day that much more memorable. And after you are done scrolling through this collection, feel free to click here for even more hissterical feline memes.

This mother of 5 kids under 4 years old isn't looking for another mouth to feed…

…but when she hears the desperate cries of a snow-buried cat out in the blizzard's banks, maternal instinct kicks in, and she has to go out there and save the cat. It's what any cat lover would do, right? 

Another kitten adopted, all in a day's work. 

She had other cats, and wasn't really expecting to adopt another. But then, she saw her – a beautiful, tiny, innocent void cat in the rain. She was taking the trash out, and saw a black kitten just waiting to be taken inside. She takes her inside, and needs to organize her life a bit. She has cats already, so she has put this cat in the laundry room to be on the safe side. Read the full story below for all the details. 

What could be better than a bunch of kitties? Absolutely nothing. 

Happy Thursday, it's nearly the weekend. There's something comforting about that day before the weekend starts, because you have everything to look forward to, and everything that happened in the week to let go of. What are you letting go of now? Is it the urge to do better at your job? The feeling that you're going to make a difference in the world? Or the desire to become a better and better person all the time? Because for some people, like basically everyone, they've given up the idea that adulthood should look a certain way. Technology has changed life as we know it forever, and it makes a person reach down into the depths of their true desires as a human, since technology is so unhuman. That's why people are so drawn to 2016! Technologically, 2016 represents a pre-algorithmic innocence; we all had technology, but its landscape and power was nothing compared to what it is today. Instagram was still chronological. TikTok didn't dominate culture. Online life felt less optimized and less surveilled. There were influencers, but not in the hyper-commercial, hyper-structured way we see today. The internet felt playful rather than strategic.

And culturally, 2016 was a certain experimental age. Fashion was experimental, and people thought their straightened hair and skinny jeans would last furrever. Pop music was glossy and communal — songs you remember hearing everywhere, tied to summer evenings and group chats. There was still a belief in forward motion. Even the messiness felt exciting rather than exhausting. So if you feel exhausted, then it's about time to scroll these silly kitties lost in their own frenzy of fun, funny, and feline energy!  

Just in the nick of time, a girl and her aunt grab this just born kitten away from the hands of an evil garbage man. 

The story couldn't get anymore heart wrenching. The emotional whiplash of seeing a garbage man about to throw a just born kitten away, and saving her life. This woman is walking along with her niece, and they notice that the man is holding a kitten. The kitten was really just born, and he thought the kitten couldn't handle the street life, but he was wrong. The girl and her aunt immediately stood up for the kitten, they took her, and now sweet little Gracie Belle has a furrever home. Don't underestimate the power of standing up for a kitten!

They claim that she's more like a dog than a cat – she doesn't purr, she growls like a dog and she whips her tail around too. But they love her all the same. Read the full story below for all the interesting details of how this pair saved an innocent kitty. 

Everybody wants to be a cat, because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at!

Wanting to be a cat isn't just a random wish that manifests at a certain age. There's this saying that when you're a kid, you want to be an adult, but when you're an adult you want to be a cat. But with The Aristocats nostalgic soundtrack, you know this isn't a wish of our adulthood. Everybody wants to be a cat, after all. Because a cat is what we bet represents everything every person wishes for - napping where and when we want, having all our needs met with no expenses, and cuddles and pets on demand. You see? We weren't kidding. Cats truly represent most of modern society people's wishes.

Alas, we're not Professor McGonagall. We can't turn into a cat on demand. But we can definitely scroll through the cattest cat memes to absorb everything that's cat here.

Look, we're simple feline-loving folks. When we learn about another type of cat in the world, we're happy there's more Cat™ to love.

But it's not just about loving another type of cat we've just discovered. You see, learning about another wild cat isn't just a sub-hobby for cat lovers. And it's also not mere education, since this can be done by simply scrolling through and reading about anything. We feel that as true cat lovers, it's our responsibility to immerse ourselves in these cats' lore, to spread awareness of their meowgnificent lives, and maybe, just maybe, help spread the word about their endangerment around.

Loving your house cat endlessly is never a bad idea. Loving other wild cats, admiring them from afar, is also never a bad idea. Especially because some of them, like the Chinese Mountain Cat that's presented in all its glory below, are so rare that we're not even sure how many of them are there on Earth! Ready to discover one of the most mysterious cats on this planet? Journey with us to the east.

Just when she was about to pop, she sought out comfort from a loving cat mom, and the rest is history.

We often think of feral cats as aggressive, dirty, and dangerous, but that's far from the truth. Some feral cats just want to be loved like every other cat, they just don't know how. It's up to us, the devoted cat lovers of the world, to teach them the joys of living rent-free indoors, with us as their hooman servants attending to their every need. 

Don't get us wrong, some feral cats can be very temperamental, but that's only because they don't understand how to trust or communicate with hoomans. Never blindly approach a feral cat that you don't know. Always start with small, incremental meetings, from a distance, and always on their terms. Food is always helpful. It can take months, even years, for a feral cat to learn to trust you, but once they do, the hard part is pretty much over.

Today's feral feline didn't need any help opening up to her new mom, as she was purrfectly loving due to her being pregnant. Very pregnant, in fact. Right before giving birth, even feral cats can become purrfectly affectionate in order to sweet-talk hoomans into giving them a safe place to have their kittens. After some work, our cat mom was able to trap her and get her to the vet. Now she's safely joined their little feline family, and all the kittens are looking for their furrever homes. We couldn't have asked for a happier ending!

Larry is the UK's oldest and longest-reigning mouser at 10 Downing Street. He's been employed through six prime ministers, and he's still kicking.

There are many famous cats that will hopefully be remembered furrever in our history books: Grumpy Cat, Smudge, Nyan Cat, and now, 'Larry' the cat, who in 2026 celebrated his 15-year anniversary as 10 Downing Street's most purrfessional mouser. At 19-years-old, he may be a sassy senior, but he still gets the job done. Well, he does his best, and what he might lack in youthful energy, he makes up for in cuteness.

Larry was officially hired in 2011, when the media made a big fuss about a rat on Downing Street. Although some may question his actual hunting skills, we all know that he's really a purrsonality hire. He's often seen lounging on official cars and greeting dignitaries, and he even has an official X account where he publicly states his (very pointed) opinions. 

All in all, Larry is a stand-up cat who has become a meowconic figure in the UK's history, and we wish him many more years of happy employment.

If a stray cat is extremely friendly to humans, that is the first major sign that it may belong to someone else. 

We would like to think of ourselves as cat whisperers. We love cats, we try to pet each and every one that we see, and every once in a while, we encounter ones who… let us. Those rare extra-friendly stray cats who, for some reason, love human attention. We pet them, and we feel like we are on top of the world. But we know that this is rare. We know that friendly stray cats are few and far between, and even those friendly ones probably feel some trepidation toward humans.

If a stray cat approaches you, from our experience, it is usually for one of a few reasons. Maybe you're one of the lucky ones who gets adopted by a stray cat. That happens. Or maybe the stray is a pregnant momma cat in need of help. Happens too, more often than you'd think. Or maybe, just maybe, that friendly stray belongs to someone else. It's an option that you have to think about. Extreme friendliness in strays points to a lack of fear, and that lack of fear has to come from somewhere. It is your duty to try to find that someone else before you start making claims. 

In a world full of terrible landlord stories, it is really wholesome to come across the opposite. 

We think that everyone is pretty used to landlords being universally hated. It's a thing. Same for bosses. It's just the thing that people expect. It's almost jarring to hear about the opposite. Suspicious. And for good reason. Most of the stories that you hear about landlords, especially in the context of pets, are not good ones. Stories about landlords demanding pet rent at ridiculous rates, as if pet rent is not ridiculous enough as it is. Landlords demanding you declaw your cat, either not understanding the consequences or not caring about them. Landlords being superstitious about black cats and kicking their tenants out because of said cats. 

Whenever you hear a story about a kind landlord, you pretty much find yourself surprised. But we don't think it's as rare as it seems. We think that the other stories are just louder. Or at least we hope so. We hope that stories about kind landlords, who act like people and treat their tenants like people, stories like the one that we have for all of you today, are far more common and simply go unnoticed among all the drama.
