In it for the Squee

If there is one thing that we need right now, it is a carefully curated, steady supply of cat memes. 

We don't know if you have noticed, but things are pretty crazy out there right meow. Everywhere you look, there is drama, there is confusion, there are just- things that we don't want to see. You log onto any social media platform, and you are bombarded with these things, forced to see them whether you want to or not. It's a real problem. Or so you would think. Because this problem actually has a very simple solution. Don't. Don't log onto these social media platforms when you're not feeling ready. Just turn on a website like ICHC and find all the hilarious cat memes that you are looking for. 

Because really, the one thing that we actually want to find on social media platforms are funny cat memes. It's unfortunate that they are so heavily surrounded by all the other things. But that's true only for us. We have to sift through all the madness to find the purrfect cat memes that we are looking for. You… all that you have to do is come here, and you will find all the uplifting, pawsitive and silly memes that you could ever need, free of everything else. 

A ten-year friendship started with a stray who refused to take no for an answer. 

Almost ten years ago, a tiny stray cat basically adopted her human first. Sabriel started showing up every evening, skinny and impossibly small, the kind of little creature you can't stop worrying about. A few days later her rescuer appeared and asked if anyone wanted to adopt a cat. It turned out to be the same cat who'd been visiting. At that point it felt less like a decision and more like Sabriel had already filed the paperwork herself.

Her rescuer explained that Sabriel and her kittens had come from a bad situation. The kittens had homes, but mama cat was stuck living outside. One rainy afternoon made everything clear. Seeing her curled up in straw, cold and trying to stay dry, was enough to settle it. Sabriel came home and started her next chapter.

Since then she's been there for every version of life that followed. New homes, new jobs, changing routines, and the quiet growing pains that come with time. Through all of it, she stayed steady. The tiny stray who once showed up hungry turned into a constant source of comfort, padding around like she'd always belonged there. Nearly a decade later she's older, healthy, and still going strong, proof that sometimes the best family members are the ones who choose you first.

The Valentine's Day mascot is officially a cat with a heart on its fur.

Some cats look like they came predecorated for Valentine's Day. A tiny heart tucked into their fur feels less like a coincidence and more like intentional design. The second you notice it, the cat stops being a regular cat and becomes a walking holiday decoration. Every cuddle suddenly feels themed. Every nap looks staged for a Valentine photo shoot.

Those heart markings turn normal moments into something extra soft. A cat curling up beside you is already comforting, but when that little heart patch presses against your arm, it feels like the holiday signed off on the moment. They have no idea they're carrying built-in Valentine branding. They're just there to nap and purr, completely unaware they are representing the entire aesthetic.

Cats like that don't need costumes or props. They are already dressed for the occasion. While people buy cards and flowers, these cats are walking around with permanent decorations stitched into their coats. They exist in a constant state of festive readiness.

At that point it feels obvious they are the unofficial mascots of Valentine's Day. No training required. No ceremony needed. Just a sleepy cat with a tiny heart patch sitting there, doing nothing, and somehow embodying the whole holiday better than anything else in the room.

Cat's Cradle isn't just a satirical novel by Kurt Vonnegut or a string game – it's also a list of hissterical cat memes! 

Cats are everywhere and everything – from the name of a famous novel, a finger game of string shapes, to an internet sensation. Cat's Cradle as a novel was first published in 1963. It's sort of a science fiction anthem of classic literature, where dark humor and philosophy blend with truth, technology, and meaning, all before the world of artificial intelligence. The harsh themes juxtapose the light tone of the detached narrator. People in the novel are careless, easily distracted, and prone to self-deception. Apocalypse can arrive alongside absurdity. And just like the novel's absurdity, the list of absurd cat memes below mirrors that lightness, silliness, and pawsitivity in spite of everything going on in the world. 

Feeling down and out isn't a problem when you have the privilege of cat memes to cheer you right back up. Whether you're out of a breakup, fired from your job, or simply feeling the cold winter blues, you have every right to try and lift those shaken spirits with the spirit of cat memes. Let their innocence guide you, their joy teach you, and their catness give you a different purrspective on life. 

We waltz into this Valentine's Day with full-on feline cattitude, and we don't care what others think.

It's not that we don't have any special humans to celebrate this Valentine's Day with. It's that we defy this day with the cattitude of an orange cat operating on the force of a single brain cell. We defy the sickeningly sweet smooching couples everywhere we go. We defy the outrageous prices of every product that a design team slapped a heart on and decided it's a "Valentine's Day special". We defy the notion that this is not a regular day, like any other day of the week. And this defiance requires maximum cattitude energy.

If you feel the same, don't worry about today - we got you. We have everything prepurred. And by that, we mean that we have all the cattitude pixelated and ready to be shipped to fellow feline fans worldwide. We have the stuff. We have the feline funnies filled with cattitude, with cat sass, with the LOLs and MEOWs a cat person might need to survive the day - and especially this specific one. So grab your grumpy cat, maybe your Valentine's-defying human partner, and enjoy the clawmedy presented below. No romance required.

The love you give to a cat matters - and that's shown clearly this Valentine's Day.

It might not be a traditional love story, but it's definitely a story about love. Because the love you give to a cat is reflected by the cat right back at you - with actions, feelings, and in this case also with a full-on physical transformation. Cats are highly emotionally intelligent, and they reflect the feelings they receive. If you love a cat dearly, they will love you back like you're their entire world. But on the other hand, if you treat a cat badly, they will know to disregard you completely. Cats just know.

And this cat? Well, meet Cosmo. He looks like at least three different cats during his months-long transformation from a scruffy feline sent by the Cat Distribution System to a family's driveway, all the way to the meowgnificent dapper gentleman that he is today. This cat's life must have been something difficult, to say the least, but the love he received is reflected in his journey - his fur came back, he became healthy again, and he's a friendly feline to both the human and the other cats in the household. What a wholesome way to open Valentine's Day with!
