Cats can adopt you anywhere, anytime. 

And we're not joking. This is something that we have learned over our time both as cat owners and as people writing about cats on a daily basis. You could be doing anything, and if a cat wants to find you, it will find you. You could be working when a kitten is handed to you through the drive-through window. You could be going on a walk with your dogs when a kitten comes screaming at the dogs and adopts all of you. You could be sitting at home, at your computer, when a kitten flies in through your window and leaves you with no choice but to go out and buy kitten supplies. 

And maybe you are like this person, and all you did was go out to take out the trash. That's all it was, but somehow, it was a lifechanigng life-changing moment. Because out of the trashcan into which you tossed your trash came out an itty bitty kitten who was ready for a home. And if you are the home that the kitty chose, then really, you have no choice in the matter. You have to accept your fate and enjoy the consequences.

Despite allocating three paid storm days, corporate management refuses to use one during a major snowfall, instead telling employees to "assess your own situation" while risking pay or safety

There are policies that sound good on paper but will never materialize when they are needed.

Employees are supposed to watch what they say in front of their employers, but the same goes for said employers.

Like everything in an at-will workplace environment, it's a two-way street. If workers are meant to maintain a certain level of decorum and professionalism while on the clock, their bosses should be expected to do the same. You would think that this expectation would not need to be reiterated, and yet, far too many authority figures in the workplace take their power for granted when speaking to their employees.

In this instance, an employee at a startup was sick and tired of receiving compensation later than he was supposed to, so he chose to talk to his CEO directly. That conversation did not exactly go as planned. 

Living next to someone who thinks the street belongs to them is like being stuck in a low‑budget reality show, I would call it Freeze Factor, and the first rule is everyone gets frostbite, because this is one of those stories that shows snow can be a problem, but a frosty neighbor whose hobby is walking on thin ice is worse. 

Maybe our guy should invest in a pricey snow blower like the woman in this story and blow the neighbor away.

Socialization in the workplace beyond the scope of your duties is a nice-to-have, not a necessity.

Why go "Brrrrrrrrrr," when you can go "meoooowwwww?" Cuddly cats are your best bet at staying warm during these snowy days. So let's enjoy them through memes! 

A cat stretch will always make you say ooh big stretch. 

Cats take stretching very seriously. It's not just a quick reach and move on. It's a full routine every single time. Front paws go out, back legs extend, toe beans spread, and sometimes there's a big yawn in the middle of it like they're really putting in the effort.

They stretch when they wake up, stretch before walking across the room, and then stretch again once they get there. It looks like they're getting ready for something important. Maybe a run. Maybe a jump. Maybe some kind of real activity. Most of the time, they're just preparing to sit somewhere else.

Every stretch is slow and a little dramatic. The back arch alone feels unnecessary but they do it anyway. Then they hold the pose for a second like they want you to see how well they did it. It's hard not to stop what you're doing when it happens because it always turns into a whole thing.

They'll finish the stretch, take a few steps, turn around, and lie right back down like it wore them out. All that effort just to nap in a slightly different spot.

They went to work a dog person and came home a cat person.

This person had always been a dog person and had no plans to get another pet anytime soon after losing their dog a few years ago. Living in a small apartment and working long days didn't seem like the right setup for bringing home a new animal, and they had been pretty firm about that decision with anyone who asked.

Then a kitten showed up alone in the McDonald's parking lot next to the vet clinic where they work. When they went to catch her, she didn't try to run or hide. Instead, she clung on the second she was picked up and stayed close for the rest of the day.

She spent that time in a kennel at the clinic, rubbing up against the bars whenever they walked by and crying when they left the room. With no microchip and no one coming forward to claim her, it didn't take long to realize she wasn't just passing through.

It's been two weeks now since this tiny kitten, estimated to be around five months old and weighing just 4.4 pounds, went home with them. Blue is the cat they never planned on having, but somehow ended up finding them anyway and fitting into their life in a way they didn't expect.

I don't know what it is, but some people hit a certain age and transform into tiny tyrants who roam around town centres like they were elected mayor of someone else's life. We unfortunately all know the type, the ones who treat every sidewalk and doorway as a personal inspection zone and every stranger as a suspect until proven otherwise

When you're feeling low, feline funnies are there to lift you up.

Do you think your cat would pay rent if they understood the concept? Or, do you think they'd freeload off of you until the point of no return? Sometimes, our felines are like that one roommate who refuses to clean their own dishes, refuses to replace the toilet paper even though they have finished the last roll, and never pays the utility bill, no matter how many times you ask them to. The difference? Cats do not hoomans, and do not have monetary capital in this world. They're basically newborn babies for the rest of their lives. It's cute, but we forget just how much they need sometimes!

Even still, we wouldn't want it any other way. We've signed our lives away to the idea of being pawesome pet parents with a knack for the more feline things in life. We need to make sure their water is as fresh as pawssible, their little brown crunchies are topped off at all times, and the best Churu flavors are at their disposal.

Without our furry felines, where would we be? Cute cattos have the pawtential to turn our frowns upside down when we feel like the world is ending, and we think that's beautiful. If your frown needs some love, scroll below! These feline funnies will get you going in no time!

The audacity of an incompetent employer to continue to secretly use your work, that you have saved in your personal (and that you pay for) Dropbox account for years after you quit, is bonkers. And yet, that is exactly what happened to this guy…

We are always looking for motivation to work out more, and we finally found it… cat yoga.

We know all kinds of workout classes incorporate pawdorable animals into the syllabus, both to inspire more people to attend the classes and help the sweet fur babies find their forever homes. There is cat yoga, puppy pilates, and even goat yoga; all are classes where you work out while fluffy furriends run around you and generally make the experience so much better. 

While we love watching people enjoy these experiences just for the fun of it, nothing makes us happier than finding out that someone found their forever family during a class. What can be better than burning some calories and taking a sweet soulmate home with you at the end of the day? Who can even say no to that?

That is exactly what happened in the awwdorable video below. This woman was attending a cat yoga class when one of the beautiful kittens simply decided to choose her as a companion for the class. Throughout the entire lesson, this kitten stayed on her back and refused to leave her side. He was there, usually on top of her, while she did every pose, stretched, and relaxed. It was like he knew that they were meant to be.

By the end of the class, it became clear to the heartwarming hooman that she cannot leave this sweetheart behind. And since cat yoga classes usually encourage the adoption of the furry participants, she was able to immediately adopt the baby and take him home with her.

Now, she shares their combined journey online, while they fall in love, enjoy their time together, and happily do cat yoga at home. Keep scrolling to view the full story and some of the updates that followed, and make sure you scroll all the way down to watch the original video. After you're done, check out this sweet story of a cross-eyed cat who also found their forever hooman. While you do that, we're off to book a cat yoga class!

This woman isn't thrilled that her extended family planned an entire vacation without her input! 

If you're the family member who's planning yearly vacations for the extended family, you're doing important work. Truly, I mean it. So much of the work of creating memories with your loved ones is just about finding the time to get together in the same place, and it's not easy to coordinate this!

Every family takes a different approach to this planning stage. Some create Facebook pages, others add everyone into a massive group chat, and some simply tell everyone to mark the 3rd week in June every year for vacation plans. The more people included, the more planning it requires, but for a lot of families, it's all worth it once you're in the same room as your cousins and grandparents, just waiting to get the good times rolling. 

It's not uncommon for kids to make a mess during dinner time, and most of the time, service industry workers don't even mind cleaning it up. But when the parent isn't doing their job, and the kids are going beyond normal-kid-level mess and acting entitled, that's when karma starts working in favor of the service industry workers and not the family. 

Thanks to the glorious world of cosplay, cats are able to take on all manner of pawsonalities and professions within and outside the feline world. And in this collection of feline fashionistas we have a whole heap of cosplaying cats in their fabulous outfits for you to enjoy.

Tis truly the most wonderful thing about cat pawrents being so obsessed with their fur babies, they always want to dress them up in  new and exciting clothes so that they can pretend to do anything from baking to saving the planet. Which for us, the viewing audience, is quite the marvelous show to watch, especially considering we have not had to wrestle a cat into a costume to make it happen ourselves.

And that is why we made this list of pics from the cat cosplay catalog, so that all of us feline fans who enjoy clothed cats can have a concentrated giggle, and so that any pawrents planning a kitty costume party can have the opportunity to check out the myriad of outfits out there and see which one would suit their cat child best. Saving you time and scratches.
 

Money issues are making this person "overthink" their promotion. 

Getting a promotion sounds amazing! For a lot of workers, there aren't really any promotions — they just slowly accumulate more and more responsibilities over time, while never getting financially compensated for them. Bosses will insist they do extra stuff just because doing miscellaneous tasks is included in those pesky terms and conditions of their job description. They can spend years adding on extra tasks, little by little, until eventually the employee is basically doing a manager's job on an employee's pay. 

This person's situation is really bizarre, because not only were they promised a raise, but they literally got it in writing… So why were they so incredibly underpaid? 

Closet cat lovers are all the same, they try to hide their feline obsession, but sooner or later the cats out them and the one thing leads to another and these secret feline fans end up being an irreplaceable part of the cats' daily routine. Or at least that is what happened to the quiet cat connoisseur in this story.

Though it has happened to more than a few hoomans we can confirm as such, we have never seen it happen in quite the way and intensity in which it happened to this hooman. For most of the time the end result of a closet cat lover's journey is a scene with them on the couch and a cat on their shoulders or chest.

A heartwarming and connecting scene for sure, but also a relatively tame one in the wild world of cats. But this story's ending is far more significant as this hooman became an integral part of these felines' feeding process. Which as any pawrent will inform you is a sacred duty and one that cannot be replaced, ever. Meaning that not only did this hooman's love for cats get exposed to the world, it also became cemented in the cats' lives. 
 

Lana Del Rey knows how a Lana Del Rey song is supposed to sound, and on her new single, she leans into that persona to amusing effect. Other pop stars should take note.

It's not easy to satirize anything in pop music, unless you're "Weird" Al Yankovic and your entire persona is about parody. Artists can have trouble communicating that a song of theirs is intended to be satirical. Sabrina Carpenter and Katy Perry have experimented with parody in different ways in recent years to varying degrees of success. 

Oftentimes, when pop stars unknown for satire try to attempt satire, the results are often misinterpreted and might even lead to both warranted and unwarranted backlash. Fans and critics question the artist's level of self-awareness as they assess the intent behind a so-called "satirical" song, music video, or album cover. 

However, if there is one artist who manages to pull off satire well in her musical storytelling, it's Lana Del Rey. On her latest single, "White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter," Del Rey's keen awareness of her own persona makes her satirical portrait of traditional domesticity all the more playful, bizarre, and even sinister.

Cat people are truly emotionally joined at the hip to their feline friends. 

We're not saying that being attached ot your cat is a bad thing - on the contrary. The emotional bond between cats and their humans is one of the strongest that can form between us and another species of animals. Cats are not just pets - they're our best friends, our house masters, our emeowtional support, our feline family that we will do anything for. The connection some people feel for the cats is so strong that some of them might wonder - is this how it should be? Is this what you're supposed to feel for a feline?

In some way, this is what one wholesome woman wondered - can you feel homesick, not for your home, but for your cat? Feeling the bond so strongly that what you miss most when you're away is your cat. Or, in other words - home is where your cat is.

Would any cat pawrent disagree? We think not. Our cats are our everything. And the online cat community that showed up after this one woman's question proved exactly that. Countless examples of the most adorable cat-human connections we given, and our hearts completely melted.

You can't eat your cake and have it too, especially not if your cake is a hotel room.

We've all probably found ourselves staying a night at a hotel that did not deserve our hard-earned money. You see the pictures online and former guests' reviews, thinking it will be fine, but once you get there, you realize just how different the place looks in person. But by then, you're already there, you've given them your money, so you might as well stay the night. After your stay, you might leave a bad review or warn others that the hotel isn't worth the money, but that is as far as most people would go. They accept that the money they paid for the stay is gone, and they make the most of what they got in return.

Other people might not be as accepting. Every hotel has seen its fair share of guests who refuse to pay for their booking because the hotel does not live up to their expectations. Some get what they want, leave the hotel with their money in their pockets, and go off to search for a different place to spend the night, while others are told by the front desk that it's a little too late to get their money back, and they can choose where to go from there.

Asking for a refund for a hotel room you have already used might be pushing it too far, and the employee below would agree. If you spend the night without a complaint, why should you get your money back at the end of the day? 

When the guest in the story below approached the front desk, she had a mission in mind: get a refund for the three nights she booked at the hotel. However, she had already spent one night there, and she decided to check out well into the second day, which only left her with one night that the hotel was able to refund her for. 

Was that enough for her? Scroll down to find out.
