It is so hard to work this time of the year. The last week of November to January 2nd should be time off. We should just be scrolling memes and gathering energy to survive the winter. That's what is already feels like! All this work right now is going to be pushed until after the new year anyway. So let us scroll!! Below are the memes that will have you ready to clock out. Work is work and at this time of the year we are all just doing it mechanically. The passion, if any, will come back after the new year. After we all get a mandatory week off. That's when the real work starts. That's when you can scroll, and laugh, and eat, and scroll, and laugh. Sigh, it's a beautiful time of year shared with family and sharing memes with family. It's truly what being human is all about. 

So quit. Period. Or not, whatever, we are not your life advisors. We are just here to help you get your daily LOL in, and we're good at that. We are lucky enough that making the world laugh with memes in our job! And we are proud of that. So go and LOL and put 10% into this last bit of work in 2025.  

Caturday has a way of turning every cat into a hopeful little snacker. They seem to know it's a slower, softer day, and they take full advantage of it. By mid-morning, the quiet patter of paws heading toward the kitchen becomes the unofficial start of their weekly snacking campaign. One polite meow, a gentle head bump, or a patient sit-and-stare is usually all it takes to remind their humans: it's Caturday, and snacks are very much on the menu.

Some cats nibble their treats with careful precision, savoring every tiny crunch. Others dive in with full enthusiasm, chewing loudly, whiskers twitching, as if they've been waiting all week for this very moment. And once the treats are gone, there's always that adorable moment of licking stray crumbs off their lips, followed by a satisfied flop into their favorite cozy spot.

What makes Caturday snacking so sweet is the simple happiness it brings.. a soft purr, a bright-eyed look of gratitude, a warm body curled up beside you afterward. It turns an ordinary Saturday into a tiny celebration of comfort, companionship, and shared joy. A few treats and a happy cat can make the whole day feel better.

Office "culture" sounds cute until it starts looking like a subscription service. This place has basically turned December into a pay-to-play festival. Matching pajama day, but you have to buy the pants. Mandatory Christmas dinner, but off the clock and probably not covered. Daily "motivational" events, funded by a cash pot everyone is expected to throw money into like it is a team-building tithe.

The fresh worker is sitting there with one full-time paycheck, about a hundred bucks left after rent and bills, and management is talking like twenty dollars for novelty pajamas is no big deal. Then comes the guilt layer. If you do not contribute, you should not eat at the potluck. If you do not "appreciate" the activities, you can go browse job ads. Nothing says we are a family like threatening to replace you over a casserole you could not afford.

There is nothing wrong with liking goofy holiday stuff. There is a lot wrong with acting like participation is a moral test when people are doing math in their heads every time someone says fun idea. If an office wants mandatory motivation, the office can pay for it.

Anyone who lives with a cat knows that conversations don't just happen. They're required. You can't walk into a room without offering at least a quick "Hi, buddy." You can't open a treat bag without saying, "Okay, just one." And you definitely can't leave the house without explaining where you're going, how long you'll be gone, and promising that you'll return like you're speaking to your tiny furry supervisor.

Cats always respond, too, just not in English. There's the impatient meow that clearly translates to "Hurry up." The soft chirp that means "Hello, peasant, carry on." The dramatic yowl that says "You forgot to feed me even though I ate ten minutes ago." And of course, the silent stare, which mostly feels like judgment, but might also be affection… maybe.

These conversations continue throughout the day, whether you're asking them why they're in the sink, discussing life while they nap on your laptop, or apologizing as you step over them like an obstacle in your own home. And even though they rarely give straight answers, talking to cats somehow feels natural. After all, they always listen… unless they're busy ignoring you on purpose.

We would like to applaud Karma for giving this unjustly fired employee the revenge he deserved. There is a difference between revenge and karma. People say you should not dwell on revenge because it will only bring you unhappiness. Karma, however, is the universe giving you the justice you deserve. That is the kind of natural "revenge" we all hope for. We never have to worry about it but then one day BAM, the person or place that did you wrong gets what's coming to them. It's a beautiful thing. 

And we see that happening here to gloriously. This hardworking employee got fired one day and called "nonessential." It wasn't enough to take a job away from someone during the hardest period in US times to find a job, but they threw him out and called him expandable. Companies really do not make it about their people anymore. So, he left, but was lucky enough to quickly find a job afterwards. Actually, it was a full-time job for one of their key vendors, with a 20% pay raise! The funny thing is before this company really started to go down the tubes from firing this actually-essential man, his old boss kept calling him for help. Sorry, boss, you reap what you sow. 

It's getting colder each night, and darker earlier, all the time. Some people adore the winter months, and others detest them. Whether you're into the cold and bleak of winter or you're just eager for spring to come, a healthy scroll through pawdorable cat memes will certainly make you feel better, and warm you up from the inside. The cold nipping at your nose, the hot drink warming your hands, and the soft glow of a screen waiting to transport you into a world of cozy chaos. These precious, pawdorable cats are here to turn your chilly evening into a meowvelous, laughter-filled cuddle fest—without even leaving your bed.

Scrolling hissterical cat memes feels like a warm hug on a winter's night, a hand held tight, and a cup of hot cocoa to accompany your cheesy winter Christmas movie. We all have our guilty pleasure, but here's something you don't need to feel guilty about. Cats are the perfect thing for winter. They're cuddly, cozy, cute, and covered in fur. Before you say you've seen it all before, take a look at the classic cat memes that will have you hungry for more. Some of the classics include cats attempting yoga (or maybe just inventing their own wobbly poses), heroic loaf cats dominating the windowsill, or mischievous felines. Enjoy!

When you were first hired in your role, did you read your employee handbook top to bottom? Or, did you skim over the important parts about PTO, sick days, bonuses, and the like? Most of us don't peel our eyes back and sit down for hours trying to decode the purposefully confusing jargon companies use in their handbooks, mostly because we're focused on the fact that we actually scored a job in an unsteady hiring climate. This story is a perfect example of why you should read the handbook, even if you think it won't apply to you. And, yes, even if your boss feels that they can override the handbook. That's just not how these things work in the real world.

The higher-ups you'll read about in the story below try to swindle one of their employees out of their two weeks' mandated pay after they resign. The employees schools the CEO on the employee handbook, and the CEO basically laughs in their face. I wonder if he'll keep laughing once a lawyer hears about this case… Easy money. Scroll below to read the full story.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us we can safely release this collection of forbidden feline chickens without worrying that any of you crazed cat lovers will get the wrong idea and do something rash, like end up trying to monch on the most highly prized non-chicken chicken there is. Because we know what you cat lovers are like, we give you one little piece of pawdorable catto action, or a delicious morsel of cat cuddling cuteness, and suddenly you are overwhelmed by your instinctual needs to dote on a cat and all logic goes out of the window.

So to spare your feline fur baby from getting shaved or worse still, getting pets and cuddles that they do not want, we waited with this list. But now that Thanksgiving is over and the urge for Turkey has reduced significantly, we feel safe and confident in the concept of bringing forth this fantastical feline feast.

Refusing to change can be bad for business — just ask the frustrated employees of these managers who won't change their minds about anything, ever. 

If your company still insists on faxing things in current year, please knock that off. It's not 1970 anymore, and in fact, it's 50+ years since then. Technology has evolved! No one knows how to work a fax machine. At a prior job, I had to use a fax machine, and it was stupefying not only to me, but also to my coworkers, including some who were in their 40s and 50s. We'd all stand around the infernal contraption, waiting for a fax to come through to us. An email could've accomplished this task in 30 seconds, but since things have to be done in certain old timey ways, we all had our phones out, Googling "how to use a fax machine." If you're ever at a company that does things just because that's how they've always been done, you can do 1 of 2 things. You can either accept that you're in for the ride, doing things in a painstakingly slow manner. Or, you can freshen your resume and keep searching elsewhere. Because companies that insist on only doing things one way aren't looking to go above and beyond — they're content to keep things as is, forever. At a certain point, it gets pretty ridiculous — some employees found themselves hand-writing Excel spreadsheets because of their boss's refusal to adapt! 

Check out a bunch of stories below of people who dealt with unchangeable workspaces, and you might notice a pattern — a lot of them left and never looked back. 

After a long week of toil and trouble at the office, there is nothing quite as calming and centering as kicking back with a collection of comical cattos just being their funny feline selves. It is a kind of disassociation and satirical commentary on the world we live in and the way we live within it. Constantly on the lookout for forms of purrfection, constantly trying to behave normally and not be seen as a weirdo. It is a lot of work to keep up appearances, but our cat children. Well, they could not care less, nor do they have such self-awareness as to be aware of such things in the first place.

Resulting in some of the funniest feline fueled moments that you could imagine. And much to ours and soon your pleasure and delight, we have gathered some rather hissterically funny felines in this collection to set you up for a weekend full of cat child cuteness.

This one goes out to the folks visiting their fathers over the long weekend and experiences a deluge of Dad Jokes.

The curious thing about classic dad humor is that it's easy to resist but impossible to do without. When you're a teenager, all you want to do is cringe at your father's underbaked quips. It's not hard to be embarrassed or even ashamed when your father insists on telling a joke you've heard a million times in public. All you want to do in these situations is close your eyes and disappear.

But something happens when you become an adult. All of a sudden, those jokes that used to make you long to be invisible have become funny to you. It starts with an almost involuntary chuckle. Then, before you know it, you find yourself longing to hear your dad's bad jokes. Sometimes, it's for the actual cleverness of the punchline. Other times, it's about the delivery and the joy your dad gets from telling the joke. 

The older you get, the more you come to appreciate those moments. So for those of you who are still in your hometown this weekend following Thanksgiving festivities, here are some humorous and wholesome dad jokes we've gathered to remind you to enjoy the time you're spending with your old man.

There's nothing like the combination of cats and weekends. It's like the ultimate relaxing time meets the ultimate fluffball of an animal. This is why cat pawrents enjoy the weekends much more than any other person around. Sure, people enjoy their weekends, but it's nothing like spending a whole weekend with a wholesome pawdorable cat. They just don't know it. Yeah, they must enjoy just resting on the couch and catching up on their TV show - but doing this exact thing with a purring cat on your lap is at least a thousand times better.

Even the more "annoying" weekend things are much cuter with cats. Like a person doing some batch cooking for the week - sure, they might not have a cat nagging them to share while they cook, but… they don't have a cat meowing softly, pawing gently, staring into your soul with soulful eyes while you cook. We don't mind cats begging for the pot of boiling water on the stove - because that's just cute as heck.

And you know what's the best thing? Cats are so cute, they're so popular - meaning the internet is full of cat memes. And that's an ameowzing fact for the weekend. You can relax on the weekend, and do it with your cat, and with some wholesome cat memes.

They often say that being a bystander to a crime and remaining silent is just as damaging as being the one committing the crime. This ER doctor no longer wants to remain silent after noticing her coworker's sneaky habit of forging client documents. She thought maybe her eyes deceived her, but when voicing her concerns to another coworker, he too confirmed her suspicions of their colleague. It just didn't sit right with her, and she decided to anonymously file a complaint to their supervisor through the integrity system…However, the outcome was the furthest thing from what the two 'whistleblowing' doctors had expected…Instead of watching their fellow coworker walk out the door for fraud, they were fired and asked to leave immediately!

It is not just major institutions that exhaust corruption, but many companies too, even the ones intended for good! It's hard to come to terms with being punished for doing the right thing, especially from a lack of a case from their opposition. Life is not always fair…but at the end of the day, who wants to work at a place that uses your truth as a weapon against you to protect those who have wronged!

Heyyyyyy, it's Caturday! Which is nothing like any regular, boring, grey Saturday. Yes, it might be the weekend, which is undeniably better than any other midweek day - but you don't just get to experience a Caturday in any plain Saturday. You need to work hard (but not as in any "job" situation, don't worry) to make that meowgic happen.

So what sets a Saturday and a Caturday apart? The number of cats. Yes, it's that simple. Are you a cat pawrent? Congrats - go pet your cat, tell them they're a precious little munchkin, and earn your Caturday badge with purride. Are you a crazy cat lady with a complete colony of cats running around your house? Even more congrats - for you, every day is a Caturday.

But what about the people with no cats? Or if you are a cat pawrent, but your cat isn't right there next to you in this specific moment? Don't worry, this is what the meowing meme expawrts of Cheezburger are here for. We're here to shower your Saturday with the weekly best cat memes the internet has coughed up like hairy furballs your cat bleghs. Surround your mind with the LOLs and MEOWs a cat person needs - that's how you can experience a Caturday like no other.

A tried and true rite of passage of the holidays is picking family up from and dropping them back off at the airport. Early hours on lack of sleep, making a comically long drive to the airport and back while the rest of the world is sleeping, and once you've picked someone up from the airport, you're rewarded with the knowledge that at some point you will have to go back to drop them off again.

Although you might be shell-shocked and weary for the rest of the day, it's all worth it, because it's the holidays and this is just something you do for family. It's a favor that you don't even really question, as if it is etched in the covenants of familial obligations. It's even something that you look forward to, the chance to see the familiar face of a loved one after a long time apart, separated by distance and life's obligations.

This, presumably, adult man was asked to pick his semi-retired parents up from the airport, something that he regularly did for them as the rest of us do for our family. The issue here was that his parents seemingly didn't understand that we, the younger generations, keep our phones on silent with notifications in do not disturb, and so there was a lapse in communication between the parents and their son when their flight arrived early at the airport.

We have enough going on and enough demands already in our lives that the last thing we need is some call, text, or notification tearing our already fractured attention away from the things that we need to focus on in the moment. It, in a way, is an answer, a solution that we have developed in response to a world where everything is constantly vying for our attention as a means for profit.

One would also argue that there was an agreed-upon time, and their expectation that he arrive early at their whim and demand and be at their beck and call is quite entitled. Their ensuing meltdown brought other familial issues to the surface as the man's father laid into him with how disappointed he was in his "irresponsible" son.

While there is definitely the issue of a difference in expectation and communication here, it's safe to say that this is probably the one situation that would cause me to never pick my parents up from the airport again. 

We no longer believe that women who speak their minds are witches, nor do we believe that sicknesses are evil spirits infecting our souls, so why do some people still believe that black cats are bad luck? This singular superstition has stuck in the minds of silly hoomans, and as a result, even in 2025, black cats are still the least adopted cat. Researchers even have a name for this purrticular phenomenon, calling it "black cat bias". As lovers of all cats, but especially little voids, this news makes us feel like we're not quite as purrgressive as we think we are.

We've had at least one black cat at a time for most of our lives, and they've been the best cats we could ever ask for. Mischievous? Absolutely. But also adorable love bugs that just wanted us to love them with all of our hearts. We even had one, 'Shadow' (yes, a very original name, don't come for us), who learned to roll over on command for chicken. He really loved chicken.

After hearing this news, the cat community has officially had it. We have the hissterical, thoughtful, and caring voices of some void pawrents below putting their two cents in. This is the purrfect thing to enjoy on a Caturday, so grab your nearest void and stare at it lovingly. It will stare back, and it will want chimken.

This dad has a helpful spirit, but 1 of his neighbors wasn't receptive to his efforts. 

Some neighbors are just naturally helpful, and these people are a delight to live near. This is the kind of person who wakes up on a Saturday morning and does all of the chores at his house, then starts mowing the lawns or blowing leaves for those in the surrounding houses. Why? There's no real reason — they just feel driven to do this. Some folks find zen in doing chores like that, and they're perfectly content to beautify their neighbor's homes in the name of getting lost in the zone for a few hours. Plus, there often are some rewards for doing a little extra, whether it's a plate of cookies or just a big smile from the person who lives next door. 

This dad sounds like that kind of person who enjoys staying busy and being a helpful guy. However, some people aren't friendly, and they'll let you know it. Dad tried to blow some snow from the neighbor's property, and they told him off! I can't imagine why — using a snow blower is like, 20 times faster than manually shoveling it, and it's not like Dad was asking for money. Some people just can't accept a good thing at face value. 

However, as you can read all about below, things did take a turn for that family… but only after they'd already been given a 3-figure fine from the city! Check it out and see if you'd side with the dad, or with the unneighborly guy next door. 

We hope you all had a purrfectly pleasant Turkey Day, feline fam. Our family has a tradition of going to pick out our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, so after we get that done, we plan on doing next to nothing for the rest of our holiday. Well, except for eating all of the pawsitively delicious leftovers (which is the second best part of Thanksgiving, by the way). We even share some of the turkey with our cats because we want them to enjoy the holiday weekend as well!

As much as we try, we can't eat all weekend, so we need something to do other than watch our mom's cheesy Hallmark movies until our eyes dry out. That's where these cute cat memes come in! They'll keep you parked on the couch, purrfectly stationary, while you digest and prepurr for your next meal. These feline funnies are filled with all the cuteness that comes with our four-legged friends, that heartwarming goodness that pairs purrfectly with your post-Thanksgiving food coma.

If there was ever a time to enjoy taking a break to enjoy the things that make you happy, it's now. And we know that cats and their meowrvelous memes make you happy, or you wouldn't be here in the furst place. Enjoy these fluffy funnies and have a great holiday weekend!

Labor laws protect the average employee because, well, we don't have much wiggle room to allow ourselves to be taken advantage of. Sure, the one-off late night in the office to meet a deadline isn't exactly our cup of tea, but it won't set the tone for the rest of our careers. If we allow ourselves to be walked all over time and time again, however, we are accepting the respect (or lack thereof) that we think we deserve. So, stand up, employees, and behold the law. There's a reason why there are so many labor laws in place to protect the small guys on the workforce food chain, similar to the way tenants are protected compared to landlords. The little guys don't have a lot of leverage, so the law makes up for that.

Withholding pay, for one, is illegal. Like, super illegal. Even if an employee is one of the worst employees in the world, you cannot deduct or withhold their paychecks. So, when the founder of this viral post circulating on the internet sends an email out to their team highlighting a "patience-building initiative" by way of holding onto their employees' paychecks, the internet goes wild. What would you do if your CEO sent you this email? Scroll to read Redditors' reactions.
