As cat lovers, Fridays are our favorite days. Friday means that the weekend is almost here, and we get to go home soon and spend some quality time with our feline companions. After a long week, there is nothing better than coming home to our cats, who are always ready for some serious cuddling. 

Fridays are the beginning of a glorious time dedicated to cat companionship and cuddles. The moment we walk through the door Friday evening, our cats greet us with soft purrs and gentle head bumps, making us feel instantly at ease. These are the moments we look forward to all week long. 

Weekends with our cats are the best. Whether we're lounging on the couch, binge-watching our favorite shows with a cat on our lap, or playing with their favorite toys - every moment is better with them. With that being said, today we're presenting you with the purrrfect batch of cat memes to start your Caturday countdown!

This guy kept trying to help his neighbor out, but the neighbor just couldn't accept it.

When there's a bad storm coming to your area, you already know the drill. You make sure the windows are shut, bring in your flags or delicate decorations, and maybe check the gutter to make sure it's not too clogged with leaves. Even so, some people still experience terrible flooding on the regular, no matter what they do to try and stop it. When those gallons of water start rushing in, it's hard to stop, and the mess of a flood can cause permanent damage. 

This dude's yard has been flooding basically every time it rains. It's not that they aren't trying to fix the issue. In fact, they know exactly what's wrong. But their uncooperative next-door neighbor is stymying them at every turn. The neighbor has a gutter that doesn't flow into a drain. Instead, it flows into u/ilikesillymike's side yard, and it's gotten so bad that the front yard is starting to flood too! 

In order to salvage their yard, this person had to contact their HOA and maliciously comply. You can check out their full story down below. 

Next up, read about some of the absolutley nonsensical questions these customers had, like one person who earnestly asked, "How many days do we have for a 45-day return?"

There is no other animal that walks this earth that has the super specific ability to be completely ungovernable in any and all situations. Aside from the common cases of cats rebuffing their pawrents' attempts at attention, they have been known to slap lions, ignore the cries for help from any other species and most troubling of all actively act against the survival of certain species when the opportunity arises. And if you find the idea of becoming a chaotic cat, then we have got just the inspirational list of feline funnies for you hoomans who also wish to become ungovernable.

From the unexpected combination between cat and boat that has let one particular feline drift downstream of its problems and nay sayers, to the dominating feline who is ungovernable in itself but utterly obsessed with governing others, to the imposter kitten who is trying its hand at selling itself as a packet of potato chips, to limited success.

Imagine your boss having this amount of entitlement and audacity to claim that they deserve your first class upgrade.

This employee, unfortunately, found themselves on the same flight as their boss after a business trip. The two were originally meant to be seated together, until the employee received a first class upgrade because, although the company booked the original ticket, the employee often flies with this airline and uses their credit card. However, that was not enough of an explanation for the employee's boss, who felt that she deserved the seat upgrade simply because she is more senior at the company. She clearly does not understand how arbitrary workplace hierarchies simply do not apply to where someone sits on a plane. When the two reconnected at baggage claim, she gave the employee a stern speech about how disrespectful it was that they did not give up their seat. As you can probably imagine, folks had a lot to say in the comments.

Just because the sun is out and the summer is here, does not mean it is no longer snuggle weather. And yes while it might be a little too hot to actually snuggle with your favorite pawson or feline while outdoors in the sun, you always have the shade or the air con to resort to if things get a little too sweaty. Meaning that there is simply no excuse to avoid indulging in this list of pawdorable feline funnies to set you up for a weekend of snuggly sunbathing.

From the cute kitten who is so excited for his weekend snuggles that he is already practicing with his favorite soft toy, to the orange catto who will stop at nothing to get to you to snuggle, no table, computer or door shall stop him, to the god-like feline who has harnessed the hot power of the sun to shine good vibes upon you.

Everyone wants to know what tricks they can use to try and rig the system, especially if it means they can save money. It doesn't matter who is on the other side of that exchange, as long as you come out better on the other side, right?

Well, no. As fun as it can be to find little ways to "save" money, there is a clear line between using acceptable little tricks to spend less money or get better deals, and actually lying and cheating others.

The hotel guest in this Reddit story tried to rig the system and get a refund on a room after they already stayed in it, and he did it by contacting his online travel agent and claiming he was never in the room in the first place. Unfortunately for him, the travel agent didn't immediately issue a refund and decided to call the hotel to make sure he didn't show up. It is not surprising that the front desk clerk could easily see that the guest was lying…

One of the things that we love most about cats is their purrfectly hissterical expressions. From being caught in the middle of an existential crisis to smiling like they just unboxed a fresh box of catnip, our cats fill our lives with cattitude of epic feline purrportions. This is especially true (and cute) when you have a cat with eyebrows. These funny felines are here to express all their sass, displeasure (or pleasure), and shook feelings for our hooman amusement. 

Since it's Furiday, we thought that some cats with purrfectly pawdorable eyebrows would be the best way to end the work week. They're cute, they're hilarious, and we want to adopt all of them right now. Whether you're having a good day or not, these furbulous felines are sure take you from Furiday to Caturday with a smile on your face. Enjoy this brow-mazing treat and have a great end of your work week!

Customer service workers, you're doing the world a favor every time you politely answer the silliest question you've ever heard. They won't train you for this in most customer-facing roles. You think that customers will more or less know what's going on… but that's not the case. In fact, it seems like many jobs just require the worker to answer the same customer questions over and over and over. 

Some customers are special, though. They're so confused that their questions make the workers pause to make sure they've heard the customer correctly. Like, what do you mean you can't use the password provided? You didn't think it would work? So you deleted the email containing the password? And now you're wondering why you can't log in? The question answers itself, but the customer is still utterly clueless.

More than 15,000 people responded to the question on u/Emmaleep's mind: "What is the dumbest question a customer or client has ever asked you at your job?" You can check out some of the funniest answers down below. 

After that, read about the people who have at least one coworker they cannot stand, like the bartender who can't handle pressure, yet keeps picking up the busiest weekend shifts to work. 

Cat people, cat people, calling all cat people! Gather 'round, for you're about to see the most wholesome, most pawadorable, most heartwarming collection of posts on the internet. Oh yeah, it's time to meet the newly adopted faces of the week!

Every single Friday, we start your day off by bringing you the cutest cat adoption stories we found on the web. Because the most pawsitive way to start any day is with a collection of adorable kitty cats finding their furrever homes.

As always, thank you to everyone who adopted a cat this week. And to those of you who adopted the 'less than pawfect' cats - the cats with health issues, the cats with behavioral issues, the distinguished senior cats - we say an even bigger thank you. The road may not be the easiest, but you have done something amazing, and you will be rewarded with the best companion you've ever had.

When conversation starts about working from home or the office, many employers insist that their staff work from the office—even when they could easily do their tasks from home. This is especially so when the employee's work involves handling sensitive information, meaning devices need to be kept safe and secure under lock and key. Still, what constitutes "sensitive" is a grey area. When you're a middle manager of a retail operation, there's probably a good chance that the information you're handling really isn't all that sensitive. However, your employer might still insist on the same security all the same because they read it in a book somewhere.

Of course, even for those handling legitimate sensitive information, these policies were suddenly capable of being changed when certain global-events-that-cannot-be-named in 2020, which forced the whole world to work from home… or not at all. Suddenly, as it turns out, everyone was capable of taking their equipment home when grand-scale productivity was on the line, and some organizations began requiring workers to take their laptops and phones home with them so that they could still work if something were to keep them from coming into the office. Funny how that happens. 

Anyways, some employers continue to insist that their staff keep their equipment under lock and key, and while it's better than dealing with an employer who insists on you practically being on call all the time, silly policies such as this tend to be a hindrance to all parties, as any absolute and inflexible rule is. In this instance, the insistence that this worker does not take their equipment home resulted in the authoritative IT manager being out of a job.

The bigger the cat, the more cat there is to love. That is and has always been our motto, and we are sticking to it. There is more cat to hug and to cuddle with, bigger beans to squish, more belly to pet when we're allowed to pet it. More purrfection to enjoy. It's why we love Maine Coon cats so much, and why we're so obsessed with Norwegian Forest cats, and why we can't shut up about Turkish Van cats. Because they're so big, bold and beautiful. All of them. 

And today, we're showcasing another beautiful beast of a cat - the Siberian Forest cat. Playful, intelligent, and oh, so kind. Sure, they might shed a lot, but they are like a small horse in size. Who would not want to have one of these to cuddle with in their home?

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. 

Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could park it. OP (original poster) was standing at a parking spot trying to guide her driving sister in with their car when an entitled woman started driving into the parking space herself. She didn't care that someone was already driving into it, and she definitely didn't care that a pedestrian was standing right there.

Summer is here, the sun is out, our cats are finding rays of sunshine everywhere to lie down on, and we are so, so ready for vacation. Yup, we know that summer has only started, but we're tired from all this heat anyway. Literally and metaphorically. There has been an intense start to this summer, and we need something to remind us that vacation is coming. Something pure and pawsitive that feels like a beachday full of fun in the sum. We need some funny cat memes. 

Hey, laughing at cat memes is good during any and all times of the year, but it is especially impurrtant to start our days with silly feline funnies when the heat is oh, so hot. We hope these memes give you the distraction you are looking for, friends, and we wish us all a happy and calm rest of the summer.

On February 1st, 2015, for just over 12 and a half minutes, more than 114 million viewers tuned in to what became the second-most-watched television program in the history of the United States at that time. The program had nothing to do with an election, nor was it a national emergency or historic breakthrough—unless you, like us, consider 'Left Shark' to be of national cultural significance. Wherever you stand on 'Left Shark' (probably to the left), it remains a fact that 114.4 million Americans tuned in to watch Katy Perry perform a campy spectacle of bubblegum pop selections at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show. At that point, only the moon landing generated greater viewership–that is, until Rihanna and Usher surpassed the record in 2023 and 2024, respectively. 

You probably remember this performance. There were guest appearances by Missy Elliot, Lenny Kravitz, and, of course, 'Left Shark,' but the credit belongs to the pop hitmaker herself. Regardless of how one may have felt about the quality of her music or the social implications of her persona, with nine number one hits under her belt, undoubtedly, on February 1st, 2015, it was Katy Perry's world and we were lucky to be living in it.

All this to say, if Rip Van Winkle fell asleep after Perry's Super Bowl halftime show and woke up today, he would have a lot of questions about Katy Perry's career decline. Flash forward from that night to July 11th, 2024, less than a decade later, and he would quickly discover that this spectacularly successful pop star managed to achieve such a spectacular fall from grace, with various causes contributing: from her lyrical content, her choice of collaborators, and the imagery in her new music video to just on the whole failing to read the moment and capture a zeitgeist that had already passed. 

However, perhaps there is a greater explanation that goes beyond this mediocre pop song. Fans of pop music who have been following Perry's career over the last decade have witnessed an artist who found it challenging to grow and evolve authentically with the times and who has consistently misunderstood the current landscape of popular music. For our theoretical Rip Van Winkle's sake, let's break down Katy Perry's professional decline, how her attempts at achieving authenticity in her music backfired, and how her subsequent embrace of her old sound and persona failed to generate the commercial reception she once earned with ease.
