An irreplaceable employee was told that anyone could do his job, so after he was wrongfully fired, he let their biggest client in on his departure. As it turns out, this $75,000/month cash-cow client was unwilling to work with anyone else in the company, and decided that, since their man on the inside was leaving, so were they. 

As the employee walked out with his head held high, management shoved their foot in their mouths, rueing the day that they questioned the necessity of the hardest-working employee. Without him, they were in some deep water. 

If you've ever celebrated Christmas with a cat in the house, then you already know the truth: there is no holiday quite as chaotic, dramatic, and absolutely adorable as Catmas. Forget peaceful snowfalls and calm winter nights - the moment the tree goes up, the pspspirit of feline mischief awakens. Suddenly, your living room becomes a glitter-covered battleground where the ornaments fear for their lives and the tinsel accepts its fate.

You try… you really try. You hang the baubles high. You secure the tree with engineering-level determination. You say things like "Maybe this year Muffin will behave". Spoiler: Muffin does not behave.

Because for your cat, Christmas decorations are basically one big enrichment activity. A dangling ornament? That's a toy. Wrapping paper? A personal shredding experience. Gift boxes? Prime napping real estate. The tree? Their Everest. And you? You're the helpless spectator holding a cup of hot cocoa, whispering "Please don't climb it… please don't climb it… oh no, they're climbing it".

But honestly? We wouldn't trade the cat chaos for anything. Christmas with cats is messy, ridiculous, and filled with more laughter than any ironic watch of a Hallmark movie could ever provide. So to celebrate the season properly, here are some Christmas cat memes of pure festive feline chaos - the purrfect way to feel the feline holiday pspspirit without having to rescue your tree (again). Merry Catmas!

Even if you move next to their quietest, most respectable neighbors in the whole world, you never know how long that peaceful existence will last. Any day, these perfect neighbors might decide they want to move, and in their place will arrive the neighbors everyone fears–a loud, young family.

In fact, the exact thing happened to my family last year. For years, they lived next to a lovely, elderly couple who never made a sound. Until the couple decided to move closer to their kids, and sold their house to a family with three kids who never shut up. 

Seriously, while most kids spend their time at home, playing video games and scrolling through TikTok, these kids spend all their time kicking a ball at my parents' fence, and my parents are getting really tired of it.

You can never know when the same thing might happen to you and you will find yourself trading your perfect neighbors with neighbors who think they are entitled to roam freely in your backyard, like the neighbors in the story below. Keep scrolling to read what happened after they asked to use their neighbor's backyard as they pleased.

2025 is over in one month. Just sit for a second and digest that. Another year zoomied right on by, and we're about to be another year older. Where did this year go? It feels like it was just January a few days ago, but then we blinked, and now it's nearly 2026. Time really does go by faster as you age!

As we go into the last 31 days of the year, we want to take a step back and look at our accomplishments this year, things we want to achieve next year, and how we want to send off 2025 and enter 2026. Purrsonally, 2025 was a year of growth. That doesn't mean it was all sunshine and feather toys; growing can sometimes be painful, but once you get through it, you come out a better purrson.

In 2026, we're manifesting money. And how do we plan on getting that? With cattitude. We're going to walk into rooms and take what we think is ours without hesitating. It's something that's a bit foreign for us, as we're usually the peacemaker, but that's all going to change. In order to fire up our feisty feline spirit, we've got some purrfectly fortuitous fluffy feline funnies below. These cats are sassy, silly, and predict the future with 99.9%* accuracy. With these feisty felines guiding us, we're sure we'll knock so many things off of tables next year. We can feel it already!

*Not an actual fact, the accuracy is more like 1%.

This retail manager penned a strongly worded note to her staffers, but perhaps she didn't think through the implications of telling them they could be "promoted to customer." 

It's no secret that the holiday season is a stressful one for retail workers at stores of all sizes. I know what you're thinking: of course it's stressful when everyone is piled in to get their gifts before the holidays. Yes, customers are a huge part of why working retail is the worst. But in these modern days, and for the last few decades, there's been an outsized interest in getting customers to sign up for email programs. This is what the manager in this story is upset about, and the pressure that bosses like her place on employees is enormous. 

This manager seems to be under pressure from her boss, but the way she's insisting that her employees follow suit is rather off-putting! Commenters agreed that this style of communication wouldn't help anyone. Instead of threatening to promote their workers to customers, maybe they could make some kind of incentive program instead. Like, maybe you still need to get 5 sign-ups per shift, but if you get 50 sign-ups in a month, you get a gift card or something. That would probably never happen, knowing how stingy many owners are, but I just think it would work to raise morale and give the workers something to look forward to… rather than just daydreaming about the day they finally promote themselves to customer. 

Cats and snow go together like peanut butter and pickles - they just don't. They may seem purrfectly interested in it - who wouldn't be when seeing little white flakes fall down from the sky for the furst time? But as soon as they put their paws in that cold, wet snow, they're already halfway back inside, yelling at you for not stopping them sooner. We all know that felines love warm things, like hogging the heater, getting snuggled up under blankets, or loafing in between your legs for maximum security and warmth. Snow provides none of those adorable amenities, and thus, they're fated to be mortal enemies.

Now, surely there are some cats that like snow, but that's a topic for a different article. Today, we're enjoying all the dramatic divas of the cat world who discovered snow…. but are not having a good time at all. You can expect purrfectly regretful faces, all the airplane ears, and a whole litter box of feisty feline energy. Because, of course, it's your fault that the snow is cold and makes their paws all wet. It's also your fault for letting them try something new. It doesn't matter if you told them before. They still did it, had a terrible time, and now, you will pay. And revenge is a dish best served cold.

Oh, good old nepotism. We can try to escape it, but it will most likely follow us wherever we go. We can't even pretend that it was a concept established with the evolution of the workplace…Nepotism is a concept that has been around since the cavemen had to choose who to share their hunt with. Whether we admit it to ourselves or not. We're not saying it's fair, in fact, we're saying quite the opposite. The more you notice a concept's presence within other elements of your life, the better you'll understand it, and hence find the best solutions to deal with it accordingly. 

This warehouse worker cannot ignore his coworker's work ethic, or in this case, lack thereof…He shows up late for work daily and barely lifts a finger, thinking his behaviour and chronic laziness should be excused, simply because he's the cousin of the regional manager…Let's calm down, he's not The Pope. When the other staff also began complaining about him, he decided to report it, filing a warning with HR. Having previously documented every move he made as proof…Let's just say this warehouse worker started reviewing his CV very soon after the regional manager called him in for a "little chat" regarding his favorite cousin. 

No matter how many people we have asked to tell us the stories of how they adopted their cats, every single time we do, we get something amazing. There is not one boring cat adoption story out there. Even if it's just someone walking into a shelter, specifically aiming to adopt a cat, it's never just that. It is always a story about connection, about how instantly, they looked at their future cat and knew the cat was coming home with them. But it's rarely as simple as going to the shelter. 

More often, what happens is kind of what happened in this story. Out of nowhere, as you are going about your regular, simple day-to-day life, a cat comes running at you and makes you theirs. The cat chooses you and makes their decision known. All that is left for you to do is accept your fate and then tell the wholesome and adorable story of how your cat chose you to us, so we can swoon over it. 

Getting fired from a job has a sense of uncertain finality to it, as if the known path you had been following out into the darkness has ended, and all around you is blackness with no certain way forward. Sure, your job wasn't always rewarding, your boss only cared about the money you were making him, and there wasn't really that much room for professional growth and personal development… But at least it was familiar and relatively comfortable. Although you can't see the pathway at the moment, before long you'll find your way.

When a company fires someone abruptly, it's portrayed as if some calculated decision is being made words like "fit" and "timing" get bandied about as if there is some kind of hard evidance supporting them. But the minute they start calling you for lost passwords and processes, and just generally trying to get you to explain your job to them, you have to start wondering why they thought they could get on without you in the first place. 

This worker experienced something like this when they found themselves suddenly fired unceremoniously right as their PTO was set to start. A process that seemed calm and calculated during their dismissal changed rather quickly once they started receiving the frantic messages, not even 24 hours afterward, asking them to return their equipment. It's a bit like that ex calling you late at night, a few days later, to get you to help them move some furniture. 

Here's the thing: if the owner of your ex-employer contacts you trying to schedule an urgent meeting, you really should just ignore it. While you might hope that they've had some revelation that they need you after all, it's more than likely that they'll find one last way to blame you for their problems one last time. 

You'd think that they would have thought about all of this beforehand, and at this point, the (now ex) employee had already left for their vacation they had already planned, so their ex-employer would just have to wait.

Happyyyy meowrning, cat people! Sunday Funday is finally here, and that means that it is officially time to have. some. fun. And we don't know about you, but to cat people like us, that means a few things. It means spending our day being… cats. It means chilling as much as we want, napping whenever we feel like it, snacking every time the urge strikes us and, if something annoys us, it means smacking it right in the face. But before all of that, before we even get out of bed, we need to do one thing, and that is start our morning with some funny cat memes. 

It's a good thing then, that every single Funday, we bring you a brand new, fresh collection of cat memes to enjoy first thing in the morning. And these are not just any cat memes. These are the best cat memes that twitter had to offer us this week. The most viral, the funniest, the most heartwarming, we have it al right here, all to make sure that you start your Funday on the right paw. 

This receptionist at a veterinary clinic was wondering where her coworker Janelle had been disappearing to after clocking in every morning.

It turns out that Janelle liked to do her morning makeup while on the clock. After showing face briefly upon arrival, she would return to her car and spend the next 45 minutes to an hour applying foundation and doing her lashes. 

This would not necessarily be a problem if activity was not busy, but it turns out that at this local clinic, the busiest times are during those early hours in the morning. 

Between scheduling appointments and dealing with patients directly, it's not exactly an easy job for one receptionist to do on their own. That's why the manager requires two folks to work behind the front desk at any given time.

This author was now handling all those front desk duties and essentially two jobs at once while Janelle was wasting time in her car applying a fresh face.

It got to the point where the author couldn't take it anymore and decided to confront her manager about Janelle's daily disappearances. Unfortunately, her manager's response was not exactly the kind of reaction she was hoping for…

This manager basically pulled out the old you are not obsessed enough with your job speech and expected it to land like helpful feedback instead of a walking red flag. The contract engineer shows up, does the work, hits what needs to be hit, and gets told the issue is not competence, it is that everything feels like just doing tasks. What the manager actually wants is someone who breathes rebar, dreams in deadlines, and treats every project like a personality trait.

From the worker's side, it is a lot simpler. The job is fine. The rent needs paying. The brain, however, is mostly busy with Kendo competitions and a cosplay deadline in six months. Work gets a reasonable amount of energy. Sword fighting and crafting angel armor get the rest. That balance makes sense in any universe where people are allowed to be three-dimensional and not simply a company-branded hoodie with a pulse.

By now, anyone who has even taken in a cat knows how much of a choice cats have in their adoption. If they do not want to be rescued or taken in, that would simply not happen. They have to want it, and often make that "first step", to ensure they are found by the purrfect hooman who can find them a furever home.

Sometimes, it's crystal clear just how much cats know they are in desperate need of a home, as they would do just about anything to find their hooman, to get the cat distribution system into action.

Take the sweet cat below as an example. It seems like this cute calico cat knew she was sick, and she knew she needed the help of a trusty hooman to get better. So, with the help of the cat distribution system, she found the perfect hooman for her cause, and simply came into their office. She then proceeded to fall asleep on top of the hooman's car, which convinced them that they must help the sweet stray with her journey to recovery.

Trying to return a dish is not a pleasant act for most people, but some people just get a kick from arguing with customer service, any and all kinds. But this one act takes the cake, or more specifically, has the cake and eats it too, because marching back in with a third of the box and a speech about standards turns the whole thing into performance art. A small local chain owner covers a shift, serves the food, and then gets told over the phone that the boneless are burned beyond saving, all while remembering exactly what left the kitchen.

From there it turns into the usual hungry theater. Customer walks in with a container that looks empty in spirit if not in fact, swears only one tragic piece was tasted, then launches into a monologue about how the girlfriend could not eat a single bite. The owner points at the obvious math on the plate and suddenly the story gets shaky. Hard to sell the idea that nobody could touch the food when most of it is clearly already digested.

Some people will take, take, then take again if it means they don't have to exercise the part of their brain that's capable of critical thinking. In some cases, these individuals lack the ability to do so from the outset. That's why it's important to lead with kindness, even when you think that someone is trying to purposely slight you.

Take your neighbors, for example. There needs to be some level of trust established between you and them. Assuming someone is out to get you is a rookie mistake; this leads to unnecessary tension that could have been cleared up with a simple note or text message, allowing everyone some clarity as a result.

That being said… It's challenging to write off repeated behavior. When you feel like you can't confront, say, a new neighbor, for example, you have to ask someone who is in charge of your property (if that isn't already you).

The new neighbor in the story below has been using another resident's garbage bin, so much so that the resident cannot fit their own trash in the container. How do you reconcile someone dominating a space that is reserved for you? Scroll to read the full story below.

On the way home from work, this person suddenly heard meowing through a phone call. Since everyone on the line owned cats, they assumed the sound came from someone else's home. But when the car stopped and the call ended, the mewing continued coming from outside. In the middle of the street was a tiny cat, rolling around and crying for help. She was so small everyone initially thought she was a kitten. The moment she was noticed, she rushed over, hopeful and hungry. A little food was all it took to guide her safely indoors.

The new arrival was immediately posted on local lost-and-found groups, and the SPCA was contacted to check whether someone was missing her. But after all that searching, it became clear she wasn't going anywhere. She fit right in with the household's three resident cats, as if she had always meant to be there.

Now warm, healing, and loved, this tiny survivor Lenore has found her true home.
