Hai there, fellow cat-nappers and couch potatoes. We've found ourselves in another conundrum. To us, Friday was yesterday, but we looked at the calendar and it's already Sunday! Where did our weekend go? How will we manage to pull ourselves out of bed tomorrow in order to go back to work? 

You know how we will? Cat memes. They're the cure for every ailment, the band-aid for every boo-boo, and a constant source of smiles and laughter in our days. Let's throw all of our worries away and just laugh a little bit. We'll make ourselves a glass of hot chocolate, curl up on the couch, and pretend that it's still Saturday. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. If not, we'll probably have an existential crisis tonight, and that's only funny when it happens to cats. We'll choose hilarious cat memes. See you next Sunday!

This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. 

As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit. This cousin is bringing three kids on vacation with the OP. Shockingly, the cousin asked the OP to babysit her kids for the entirety of the three day vacation. It's pretty wild to assume this hardworking OP would rather spend their vacation watching three young kids. But then, when the OP tried to negotiate an hourly rate, their cousin didn't take it well. 

Next, this person made an unbelievably cringe mistake at their big interview with a company's CEO… 

Let's be honest here- most cats are suuuper lazy. That's kind of biological for them, and it's kind of our fault. We spoil our cats too much. That's just fact. we love them, and we want to do anything and everything that we possibly can to make them happy, and if that means spoiling the heck out of them, then no hard done, right? Still, not all cats are lazy bums. Some cats are actually fantastic mouse catchers… when they feel like it, of course. 

The cat in this story… is not one of them lol. Today's cat is one that falls somewhere in the middle - it tried to catch the mouse, it even succeeded. It just couldn't 'finish the job'. Normally, we would say that's a bad thing. Catching a mouse, hurting it by catching it, then leaving it be - no help, no nothing. But in this case, the mouse was quite lucky, because instead of freaking out and grabbing the broom, these lovely cat owners decided to keep the mouse and give it a second chance at life, and that's… actually kind of amazing. 

Shame is a trait that not everyone has in abundance. Then again, when taking into consideration that cheaters don't tend to be the most considerate people, the story below makes a smidge more sense. One woman was presumably a bit bored in her marriage, so she sought excitement elsewhere. A singles mixer bar, to be more specific. There she encountered a nice man, who she hit it off with. Instead of alerting him to the fact she was married, she told him her husband had passed. He didn't suspect anything, until her phone rang with her very much alive husband's name, 'Dennis'. 

Huh, that's odd. Next to his name was a heart. Concerned, he confronted her immediately. Immediately getting defensive, she asked him why he went through her phone, told him that there was no chemistry, and basically ran away. He wasn't having any of it and decided to look her up on Facebook, where it became immediately apparent that she was in fact, very much not a widow, in contrast to what she had said earlier.

He played the part of vigilante, informing her husband via messages on Facebook of what had occurred. It took a bit of convincing, but it was done. Divorce papers were filed, and it became messy. This petty revenge was such a satisfying read… Scroll down to read the full detailed account.

All cats are unique - of course. They all have their quirks and their silly habits. But there is one group of cats that really stands out in its collective uniqueness. Orange cats. Of course, of course, there are always exceptions. Some orange cats break the norm, but the norm still exists, and the norm is that the majority of orange cats share one braincell (collectively).

Orange cats have interesting patterns of behavior… to say the least. Orange cats are a bit empty-headed. Sometimes. But hey, that doesn't mean we don't love them. In fact, it means the opposite. We love orange cats a whole lot - because of their quirks and adorableness. We think that the fact that they are so heckin' silly just makes them even more adorable. So, we have prepared a whole collection today to show orange cats just how much we love them. 

If there is any way to save a dollar and lose a fortune, this has to be it. 

When this new owner took over this company, all they could see were their immediate costs, and they decided that getting rid of all the top-paid employees was a top priority. There was no consideration made for what those employees might be contributing and what their unique strengths might be. 

So when the new owner decided to frame this top earner and hang them with a whole heap of lies… they set themselves up for a big lawsuit. In asking them to come back to finish out their 12 weeks, when they realized there was no one to replace them, they proved that the misconduct accusations were false and solidified the case.

In the life of a cat owner, thankfully, most of the time, things are calm. Our kitties nap, they look for spots with sunshine, they cuddle up next to us. Life is good with cats. But not everyone is as pleased with cats as we are, unfortunately, and some can even be cruel. Today's story is about a cat who got poisoned - maliciously, according to the cat owner. Luckily, the cat owner was around, took care of the poor kitty, and rescued it. And the owner is not the only one was taking care of it. The cat's adorable adopted sibling, although usually not affectionate,  came to the rescue, cuddling its sibling.

We love bonded cat pairs so much. Seeing them provide comfort and love to one another makes us so happy. Thankfully, now that a week has passed since the post initially went viral, we've gotten an update that he feels better, and although, of course, we want to thank the owner, we think another thank you should go to the cat sibling, who was there to help with recovery as well. 

Talk about effortless, am I right? If you've ever been in a situation where you needed to quit your job immediately, you would know that sometimes you have already put in more than enough effort to be courteous about it. You've already put up with more than enough BS in the workplace. You've already been asked to take on more responsibility than what you've signed up for with no change in pay. You've already had to do the work of multiple people simultaneously. And, well, you've had enough.

It's important to get you in that mindset before taking a look at this letter, which was shared on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit. Let's just say that this person has set the new standard for resignation letters. The edits are chef's kiss perfect. Be sure to remember these adjustments when it's your turn to give your two weeks' notice. 

For more, here's a tale of malicious compliance in which a retail employee was shamed by his boss's boss. 

Long ago, the majestic and floofy cat gods were faced with a godly conundrum on how best to choose their hierarchy. Some suggested a battle of wits, while others suggested tests of strength, stealth, and agility, all would be immediately vetoed by the cat gods of laziness and good vibes. Thus the conundrum remained, unsolved for hundreds of years, filled with chaos.

Until one day, the mysterious and strange cat god of derpiness, Johnny Derp, spontaneously sat on the cat god of floofiness, much to the surprise and awe of the other gods. In response to their awe, he merely proclaimed 'If I fits, I sits', mighty words for which he would be named first among the cat gods, with all the other cat gods vying for his favor by mimicking his ridiculous sitting abilities, a tradition that is immortalized by pawdorable cats and kittens to this day.

Anyone who's ever worked in the corporate world had had a taste of something humanity naturally fears. Perpetual hellscape of the cubicle creates a literal prison for employees, micromanaging their every move and enslaving them to stare at spreadsheets until the day they retire (which may be never…?). Corporate big wigs like to try and "sweeten the deal" with marginal profit sharing or offering company stocks to employees at a discount, but we all know that that's barely a step up from the pizza party we all know is coming as soon as anyone starts asking for a real raise. Sure it pays well to be a cog in the corporate machine, but at what cost? 

Howdy folks. You know what we're here for today, Beans! We're gonna show you all the beans, on all the fluffiest and most pawdorable cats and kittens this side of the web! In order to do that we've searched far and wide for the most cat-tastic beans in all the land. We've got pink beans, black beans, speckled beans, white beans, and brown beans, all kept to the highest standards of course.

So we hope you've brought your bean-inspecting gloves, as well as your best cameras for animal photography (no flash photography, thank you!), because we're about to delve into the magical and wonderous world of cat beans, where every discovery turns your heart into mush and occasionally makes even the toughest of toughies cry like little children. Let's go!

What do you get when you cram 6 college girls into a tiny, off-campus house for a year? Drama. No matter which way you slice it, a group of that many females is going to fracture at some point, creating factions of opposition, passive aggression, and pettiness of Biblical scale. One woman named Claire recalls a time when her and her 5 other friends were all very close– during their junior year of college –but that was before they all moved in together and noticed that each other's quirks were less fun when it meant sharing a space. 

Naturally, there were early warning signs. They experienced a lot of the classic debacles in the beginning where two of the girls, Abby and Brooke, refused to contribute to purchasing any furniture or household goods, taking advantage of the other girl's purchases and using everything they provided (couch, tables, tupperware, dishes, EVERYTHING). After the first red flag, things declined quickly. The snarky, useless girls, Abby and Brooke, started leaving passive aggressive notes on undone dishes, being angry when anyone got home after 9PM, and recruiting their boyfriends to harass the other girls in the house. 

Finally, Claire and her four decent housemates decided that they would move. However, after they told the other two outsiders, things got WAY worse. Abby and Brooke started refusing their mail, dumping their wet laundry on the ground, they stopped doing chores, and stopped contributing to communal supplies and paper products. One weekend, when the two mean girls were out, the four got a call from their new landlord saying that they could move in that weekend if they wanted to, free of charge. 

So they planned a heist. 

While the other girls were gone, they took all of their furniture, supplies, kitchenware, bathroom products, and even the lamps, leaving the house completely empty for when the toxic girls returned. It was like the Grinch stole Christmas. Once out, they received scathing texts from the others, but felt as if they had exacted petty revenge for the hell they were put through all year. In my opinion, that's a job well done. 

It might not be time for the Great British Bake Off but it is most certainly time for the Great Feline Loaf Off! We have scoured the globe for the fluffiest, the podgiest and the loafiest cats on the internet and before you, we have the final 20 competitors ready for your judgement. You will be judging our contestants on a scale of 1-10 in each judging criterion. The judging criteria are fluffiness (can't have a dense dough) and loafiness (we are looking for good clean loafing, no chicken wings please). 

Please try to remain objective in your scoring and do not let their cute eyes suck you in and affect your scoring. They will try to distract you but you must stay strong for the integrity of the Great Feline Loaf Off!

Interviews seem to bring out the most awkward parts of ourselves. There's just no way to get through the interview process without being uncomfortable in some way. After all, you're suddenly placed in a new environment, surrounded by people you don't know and have to impress, and you're dressed up fancy while being as nervous as possible. 

This person shared their own deeply embarrassing interview story. Not only did the OP act goofy in front of the CEO, they kept getting interviews despite that gaffe! In the comments, people shared some stories that had us laughing out loud at the absurdity. At least the OP isn't alone in their shame. 

Next, our Facebook followers answered this question: "What's your unpopular food opinion?" The answers are eye opening, from the suggestion of eating peanut butter with chili, to the pineapple on pizza lovers and haters. 

For those of you who are yet to be blessed by this phenomenon, being visited by a 'Not My Cat' is an experience like no other. At first, it is cute, you feel wanted, you feel special that they chose you and your house. You give them water, you go out and buy them food and before you know it you own 3 tunnels and an electric water fountain and you don't even own a cat.

That is the magic of 'Not My Cat', they make you think you have all the benefits of having a cat without the cleaning of the poop. But in reality, it is the 'Not My Cats' that are reaping all the benefits of the food, water and toys without ever having to cuddle us, or put up with us when we are being annoying and booping them for the 70th time that day.  

These Airbnb hosts are in desperate need of a reality check. If there's one situation in which customers are allowed to go into full Karen rage mode, it probably has something to do with Airbnb, which has become a breeding ground for ripoffs and travel horror stories everywhere. 

This guest shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/AirBnB subreddit and explained that he was bothered not once, not twice, but three times to prepare laundry before their departure by their corporate Airbnb host. Now, not only is the guest already paying a $200 cleaning fee, but also this host clearly plans their turnovers so poorly that they have become overly reliant on guests to do their dirty work for them. This guest was not having it. After confronting the host, they quickly backtracked and grew fearful of a bad review. Serves them right! Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments. For more, here's a story about a male Karen who threw a fit at their mechanic.

"Peanut butter goes on chili dogs," wrote one commenter in reply to this controversial question: What's your unpopular food opinion?

We all have that one food opinion that makes everyone give us the side eye. There are endless combinations of food that span various cultures and cuisines, so it's no wonder that the things we find completely normal are utterly nasty to someone else. 

Our Facebook followers chimed in to share their own unpopular food likes and dislikes. Check it out below! Then, these two moms got in a spat over a first class seat on a long, long flight with their kids. 

If there's one thing to learn in life, it's to always be kind to your mechanic. This guy in particular clearly had a strong reputation with his customers and was well-known for being excellent at what he does. So did he need this male Karen's business after he threw a temper tantrum and also threw a literal tool in his direction? No, he did not. Our favorite tool guy was told to get off male Karen's property and that's exactly what he did, knowing how much this customer desperately needed his services. Shortly thereafter, he shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit.

As many folks in the comments section have pointed out, the highlight of the story comes when the Redditor is able to name the exact part that was thrown at him by male Karen. That's how you know how good this guy is at his job. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best comments. When you're finished, here's another tale of malicious compliance about a student's morally questionable assignment.
