In it for the Squee

If you've ever had a kitten, you know what it's like to be both full of rage and brimming with love and whimsy at the same time: That's the meowgic of cats. 

Little goblins to the core, kittens are born to make mischief and adorable mews. Equal parts annoying and endearing, kittens embody the rambunctious and profound energy of a Tasmanian devil, swirling around the house at all hours (primarily before daybreak), and wreaking havoc on all hoomans who stand in their way. Leaving your ankles bare is a big mistake when there's a kitten around; expect to be clawed. And petting the tummy of a seemingly harmless kitten will lead to a similar outcome. And yet, when you crack open the canned food or a tasty gogurt treat, that kitten is placated and becomes your new best friend. 

When they're eepy, hungry, or just feeling a cuddly mood swing, kittens are the most wholesome creatures on earth. 

Curling up in the crux of your neck on the couch, or climbing up your pant leg to make it all the way to your arms, kittens combine their cuteness with their natural acrobatics, backflipping their way into your heart. Bonding with a kitten is easy, as a human's natural instinct is to care for tiny, helpless floofs with big eyes and a spindly tail. Cats don't always need us to care for them, but they love it, and cat lovers love it. It's a win-win. Kittens are no exception, tugging on our heartstrings as they play with a feather at the end of a line. Kittens remind us of the boundless energy and joy that reside in all of us. 

Kittens are innocent, sweet, and well-intentioned; they're just getting the hang of their predatory instincts and the little knives on their hands. Soon enough, they'll get the hang of being a gentle soul, calming their little minds, and deciding that a cozy cuddle session in the big chair is far more delightful than bombarding the humans while they sleep. At least, that's what every cat lover tells themselves when their kitten is in the terrible teens stage. Don't worry, hun, your kitten whose purrsonality you cherish will only become more lovely and irreplaceable.

Because there's no cat like YOUR cat. 

Monday mornings are rough, but they're easier when your cat insists on supervising your getting-ready playlist.

Cats act like they don't care about your schedule, but the second your getting-ready playlist starts, they're involved. Monday morning music comes on and suddenly they're in the kitchen, in the hallway, sitting directly in the spot you need to stand. They pretend they just wandered in, but the timing is suspicious every single week.

Some songs clearly pass inspection. Your cat stays put, listening, tail wrapped around their feet like they're settling in for the set. Other tracks get a look. Not dramatic, just enough to make you question your taste and skip ahead. You end up curating the morning around a tiny furry critic who didn't apply for the role but absolutely holds it.

While you're brushing your hair, packing a bag, and trying to remember what day it is, the cat treats the playlist like background entertainment. They follow the sound from room to room. They sit on the counter and supervise. They listen in that calm, half-interested way cats listen to everything, which somehow makes the chaos of Monday feel more organized.

By the time you're ready to leave, the music has done its job. The vibe is set. The cat heard the opening tracks and approved the start of the week. You walk out carrying that energy with you, and they stay behind like a satisfied DJ who knows they helped you get out the door properly.

Sometimes life frustrations just become a little too much to handle and when that time comes we need a healthy and safe way to release those negative emotions. Which is why we made this collection of sassy cat memes, so that you can join in their feisty fiesta of feline chaos.

It is a much safer and saner way of handling frustrations than most others. After all, what is the worst you can do while looking at cat memes? Cackle to yourself about all the things you would do to your annoying coworker like these cats are doing to each other? It is a much healthier way of coping with the situation than actually doing said acts.

And that is why we wanted to give you this opportunity to get it all out of your system before it is too late. So find yourself a quiet spot where you will not be bothered, you do not want to get caught cackling to yourself now do you? And settle in for this scrumptious list of sassy cattos and their crazy, chaotic shenanigans. At the very least it will be better than continuing to work while feeling like this.
 

If you ever wondered how cats have managed to make us give them more and more treats over the years, then look no further than this list of soul staring cats showing off their mind control capabilities to get more treats.

It is true, some say that their techniques are similar or hypnosis, others say that they use some sort of mystical magic. But no matter what it is that has given them this intense ability, it cannot be denied that it works. And we wanted to help you stay ahead of the curve by making this collection so that you can get an appreciation for the full spectrum of soul staring cat children. As they say, the best defense is a strong offense.

Now, you will come to find that no two cats stare alike. Some look real sweet and cuddly, others look like tiny demons, and others look slightly strange. It is key that you learn some of the typecasts so that you are not duped into a soul stare and forced to give up your treats. So scroll carefully and take notes, or else the next cat you come across might just shake you down for all the treats you have on your person. That is, unless they force you to buy them more…
 

The moment cats enter the Olympics, the competition is officially over.

If cats competed in the Olympics, the rulebook would have to expand immediately. Traditional sports wouldn't cover half their skill set. There'd be events like hallway sprinting at 3 a.m., precision shelf clearing, and synchronized loafing. Every cat would show up with confidence, fully convinced they were born for this.

Gymnastics would be over in seconds because cats already treat furniture like a personal obstacle course. They walk narrow ledges without looking down. They jump distances that don't seem possible. They land clean and act like it wasn't even worth mentioning. Judges would hold up perfect scores while the cat licks a paw and pretends the applause is background noise.

Endurance events would belong to them too. Long-distance napping. Extended staring without blinking. The ability to ignore their name being called from across the room for record-breaking lengths of time. The crowd would sit there in respectful silence, watching elite athletes commit to doing nothing.

Winning wouldn't change their attitude. A gold medal ceremony would end with the cat stepping off the podium to sit in the box it came in. No speeches, no drama. Just a stretch, a yawn, and a casual walk away like the result was obvious from the start. The competition ends, but the training continues, because somewhere in the house there's another hallway that needs to be sprinted.

The experience of cat ownership is unique for everyone, but we can all agree on one thing - living with cats is hilarious. 

We did not grow up with cats. We got our first cat when we were teens. And let us tell you, it was a life-changing experience. Whatever we thought cat ownership would be like, it wasn't like that. From the first night, when our itty bitty kitty insisted on climbing into bed with us multiple times in a row, despite us being so scared of turning over and crushing her. Over time, we have learned so many things about what cats were like. We have learned that some cats love sinks for some reason, and follow you into the bathroom. We have learned that cats don't like closed doors - not because they want to use the doors to get in and out of a room, but just for the principle of it. We have learned that, despite the fact that cats don't understand us, cats can be really talkative. And we talk back.

One of the funniest things that we have learned - about ourselves, not our cats - through cat ownership, is that we really do treat our cats like tiny humans. We talk to them like we would to anyone else. The only difference is that we find outselves saying some absoltuely hilarious things to them that we would never say to other people. 

Another week is about to start with a dose of Twitter purrfection! 

Because that is all that we really need in our lives. And we mean that. We are simple people with simple needs, and what we truly need on a Sunday morning, more than anything else, is a whole bunch of precious cat memes and stories that will make us smile and forget about anything and everything else that is bothering us. And even though Twitter can be a difficult place sometimes, one thing that always thrives on that platform is the cat content. 

So, we simply do the hard work for you guys. Every single week, we sift through everything and bring you the funniest cat memes that went viral on twitter, the cutest cat pictures that people enjoyed sharing, the wholesome cat stories that captures people's attention. All the viral cat things in one place for your enjoyment. So, take that moment. Stay in bed for a little while longer, try to forget about your troubles and the troubles of the world, and focus on the things that matter - on the things that would really, honestly make you happy. Find those five minutes to get your cat fix, and maybe things will look up a little bit.
