I don’t know if I have read anything this straight up adorable in a long time. I just wish I could scratch behind her ears while telling her what a good girl she is. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little jealous of the owner right now, none of my kitties did anything this thoughtful when I was pregnant. Best wishes on the rest of your pregnancy, and your eventual delivery and please give your kitty butt scratches from me, a total stranger on the internet ❤️
With both of my children, I only knew I was pregnant because of our cats. They would lay on my stomache when I went to bed and purr and meow instead of curling up between my legs
The term meme was first coined back in 1976. The evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins came up with it after joining the Greek word mimēma (meaning “imitated”) and the English gene. He presented the new term in his book “The Selfish Gene” likely without realizing how widespread it will become.
In his bestseller, Dawkins described memes as the cultural equivalent of a gene—it is transmitted from person to person, carries information, and mutates along the way. Much like our beloved online memes, when they’re launched into the void of the internet and start a snowball effect of generating different versions.
Aww, why do I feel like they were married in a past life, and they still remember each other.
Relationship goals (or friendship, honestly I just need a person to share life with)
My old black cat when I was a kid used to do this with me. I found her as a 4week old kitten, dumped in the bush and smelling of petrol. I had her for 16yrs. She would follow me all the way to school in the morning (I walked) right up to the front gates, then she would run off. She would be waiting, without fail, everyday to walk home with me and my mates. She would come on bush walks and just hang with us. Everyone in the neighborhood called her catdog (her name was boody poody or boody to her mates) and people i didn't even know cried when she died. Best cat ever!
That’s so adorable. Sometimes when I take my dog down my country road for a walk, my cat will follow part way if she’s outside. She will often wait for us and then pop out of the brush to lead us home.
I taught K6 in Los Angeles 1980s - 90s when often I told kids if my cat Oscar's antics. So once a school year at lunchtime, I'd go home, put Oscar in pillow case slung over shoulder and sneak him into class for rest of school day. My kids loved him and his stories 😂
Some state that the first internet meme was the Baby Cha-Cha-Cha (also referred to as the Dancing Baby) that appeared online in the mid-nineties. Others argue that the old-school smiley face—:)— could be considered a meme, thus preceding the newborn doing the cha-cha.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter which was first. What matters is that meme culture has been growing ever since and is now a pretty significant part of our online existence. Some statistics claim that on Instagram alone, people share around a million memes every day.
That looks just like my b- boy . it's been almost a year since he died. He was 21. Still miss him
Load More Replies...Awww my yorkie did that from age 12 to 14 when I finally made the hardest decision I've ever made in my life.
Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of yarn? She had mittens
The rest of the song goes, 'once I had a little dog and all she ate was cans, when her little pups were born they came in ford sedans.' 'Mary had a little lamb her father shot it dead, now she brings her lamb to school between two slices of bread' There's more I can't remember.
Whennnnn Mary had a little lamb the doctor was surprised... But when old McDonald had a farm the doctor nearly died
Load More Replies...Honestly. They needed a poem about pulling the yarn outta the poor kitty's as$
Load More Replies...Bored Panda discussed the topic of memes with the creator of Meow Incorporated, Julius. When asked what was the driving force behind the page, he shared: “In 2016, I entered the Dog (or doggo) and cat (catto) meme world to share my love for animals, but specifically dogs, with the world.”
He wanted to do it in a way that integrated cute critter pictures, videos, and humor, so he added captions to show what the animals were supposedly thinking and saying. “The captions are in doggo speak for dogs and catto talk for cats since the terms reflect their personalities and how I imagine they would actually talk,” Julius added.
I would run back in for my two monsters. And Bouche too.
Load More Replies...Kitten is glad to be saved but not completely comfortable with his situation. Heads a little scorched.
The kitten is okay. He probably played with the dog.
Load More Replies...In all seriousness this is what you should do. Because dogs will follow you in a crisis and getting them out is easier because they'll run out with you, but cats hide and they're good at it. Most cats survive fires. They'll hide as far from the heat as possible, usually somewhere small and hard to find and wait it out. Cats definitely DO die in fires sometimes, but less often then other animals, and you can get yourself killed going back in to save them because you likely won't find them
Not always true my dogs who follow me everywhere ran instead under a deck and wouldnt come out ,had to get hubby to crawl under and grab him.
Load More Replies...What a good boy! I think it’s starting to hit the cat what happened and the pup has processed that he’s done a good thing!
Fire or not, I’d never leave those in my care. I would have gone back in myself.
You can tell everything about how someone treats someone who can do nothing for them...
Load More Replies...aww. This made me miss my dad. This was him to a T.. man claimed he was allergic to cats. But when he died he had 4 rescue cats that are complete a******s because he would go to the kill shelter & ask them for the next cat that's being put to sleep. Then he said "wait.... how about the next 4 on your list. I can afford about four & a half cats with my disability pay... but we'll just call it 4 because that might be too morbid. I'm trying to save cats from being killed... ya know?" But those cats loved him so much. I adopted them when he died. They're now my a*****e cats. I love them to death. They get along with my other cats. They don't ask for much & they're starting to trust me a year later. They really loved my old man. Also, this is where it Ties into this post... I forgot to mention that he cared for 2 barn cats. They're now my barn cats. Lol. He built a beautiful warm cat tower for them for winter. We trapped them & they live in our huge barn now. I miss my dad so much.
Your dad sounds like he was a gem. Sorry for your loss.
Load More Replies...Apparently my dad doesn't like cats, yet when he's in his garden all the neighbour cats come and hang out with him. When he visits me he spends more time playing with my two than talking to me!
My father always says he hates cats and can't stand the fact that we have cats and keeps grumping on and on about how awful they are. Then he pets them and plays with them when he thinks we are not looking.
Load More Replies...Laying on her side, a sign of comfort and trust.
Load More Replies...Good compromise if you ask me. Cats can get pretty adapt at hunting up their own food. But they do need a warm place to sleep in winter.
Dad's try to be hard but are really softies. Every pet was NO! The stray's NO! In the end they were his babies.
Almost identical to us acquiring a cat when we were kids. Dont feed that cat. Then Dad builds him an insulated cat house.
There have been studies that show that giving prisoners dogs improves behavior and reduces violences during incarceration, and reduces recidivism post-release. Sometimes it's rescue dogs, sometimes it's training puppies as support animals, just having an animal to care for and bond with helps.
Yep. Research supports it. Wish they would try to integrate more shelter animals into the penal system.
Load More Replies...There was a documentary about death row, not sure which prison, a lot of then had cats. These really tough dudes turned into marshmallows when their kitties were around.
I followed someone who fostered cats, and whenever he had kittens that were not good with humans, they got send to prison. Literally. Inmates took care of the kittens until they were socialized enough to be adopted out.
Load More Replies...If we can teach humanity to the criminals. Why can't we teach it to the leadership, with no morals, or souls?
Load More Replies...I used to teach a class at the county jail and there was a wing of women that got to train service puppies. This wing was the most engaged, calmest, and overall best grounp to teach.
Memes arguably mean more to millennials and Gen Z than to any other generation so far. According to Ypulse, more than half (55%) of those aged 13-35 send memes weekly, and 30% actually do that daily. It’s not surprising, considering that an average millennial sees around 20-30 memes every day.
As stated in Ypulse, the main reason for such distribution is to make other people smile, based on the answer of 74% of those surveyed. 53% say they send it to react to something, while 28% admit to using it when they can’t express their feelings with words. This shows that people nowadays use memes not only as a source of entertainment, but as a form of communication as well.
i love the first reaction tho lol but i would immediately be the second reaction cuz i love cats i would be like DONT U DARE TAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL THING IT IS MIIIIINE
Ok, now I'm crying. I can hear that little foster Mama's heart sing! I'm sure she is jealous of her baby needing bottle fed, but I'm sure she still has her baby attach and need on her. It's the love.
I have two kittens I caught this past summer that were found under my neighbour’s porch to my older male cat as his adopted daughters. He just adores them. He literally reaches out his paws to grab them and grasp them to him while he grooms them. They are bigger now and sometimes wriggle out of it but also will submit to his mothering.
I literally screamed at my gf, THE CAT IS FUDGING HOLDING IT!!! she was so confused.
My black cat does this, only she sits behind me and looks over my shoulder like a judgmental black hole.
Remember cat show love by copying, which is the second reason they will lay on your laptop keyboard, they are trying to interact with it but in a car way.
You say one mean thing to my hooman and I'll claw your face off, capiche?
Yes, but all cats look arrogant. This one does look like they are about to say they are going to steal your significant other through a cloud of cigarette smoke.
Load More Replies...I would have stolen that cat. I would know it was wrong. But I wouldn't be able to resist. Look at that ball of perfection.
Julius from Meow Incorporated expanded on his views of the impact memes have on our daily lives: “Memes are silly, ironic, shocking, culture showing/changing, and everything in between. Since their beginnings, they have provided ways for us to connect with friends, family, and people we care about by creatively and humorously reflecting back on the world we live in. They can help us deal with shared hardships, make twists on things we already appreciate, and surprise us with creativity.”
My parents' cat drags blankets through their house to wherever he wants to nap.
We had a cat growing up that had a bright red sock and a small stuffed pig. Played with them ,slept with them, and nursed on them. When mom washed them he would dig through the laundry till he found them.
Load More Replies...Years back, after having some surgery on my foot that needed daily dressing changes, my mother needed to put a towel down on the bed to work on my foot. Every time, my cat Sabrina would immediately climb up to lay down on it, so we had to start setting out a towel for her up near my head first, let her get comfortable, then put another for my foot. Twice a day, every day, for weeks. I actually looked forward to it every time because she was such an independent girl, but I could always count on her coming to be my buddy and my "nurse"
I did that for my Lloyd! He sleeps on his kitty blanket every night.
My mother in law made me a knitted square to sit on so i my butt wont get cold 😂 lets just say the cats has stolen it.
My (late) Lucky REFUSED to use the little mat I crocheted for him. It was kinda funny to see him curled up tightly in his favorite spot, while trying his best not to touch the offending mat.
Aww sweet baby greeting their guests. Cats are probably the only possible advantage Airbnb has over hotels.
I've heard there a few hotels that do have cats on staff that you can borrow for your stay. I've also heard too many people try and keep those cats when they check out.
Load More Replies...I can't imagine leaving my cat in a space that strangers will be... Just never know what could happen :(
My tabby is all about stranger danger. He dives for the basement if anybody even knocks on the door
Load More Replies...I couldn't leave my cats if I had a B&B. If I couldn't take them wherever I was going, they'd stay with a friend.
I will give 5 stars to anywhere/ anything that involves a kitty
I have only stayed at a a Air BNB once. I got lucky it was cheap and nice. The only reason I picked it he had furballs there. In the morning kitty was crying at my door so let him in for a visit.
I'd be happy to stay there. Trying, unsuccessfully, to convince the library I work at to incorporate dogs and cats into our story-times.
Yes! I would feel blessed if my two cats fed upon me after I died. I want them to live as long as possible!
Load More Replies...ikr. There are literally instances where dogs also bit off their dead owner's body parts and ate them. cats and dogs are literally carnivores, they would both eat your dead body when theres nothing left to eat
Load More Replies...Yeah, like your dog wouldn’t do the exact same thing. Remember, cats are finicky eaters, while dogs will eat poop.
And, sorry, K-9 Hero, so will any predator on earth. Dogs from chihuahuas to St. Bernards, are predators. There are plenty of species outside those two out there. Wolves and the other canines, cats above 75lbs do view us as inferior prey. Mostly skin and bones, why would you kill it? So, yep plenty of pets, if starved, would turn to anything available for survival. We think of this and grab up “Snowflake” would never do such a thing ever. She didn’t know, and Snowflake looking at the glowing eyes that attacked them.
Tuck in, Donut and Snape. Also, Mint too. I’m not mad at you guys :) (Probably because my Earth body sucks and after I finally depart from Earth I’m freaking going back home) (I’ll try to bring you guys too)
But anyone would be fine with saving their pet from starvation in this way, I mean you don't need the body any more, and if you had any relations worth caring about, you wouldn't be left that long anyway
Yup. I would die for my cat. Why would I care if she ate my remains to survive?
Dogs and cats both will do this. Its natural.I don't have any pets due tospace and time restraints, but when I do, I'll have it written down that if I pass away and nobody comes to know about it,then my pets are to be given to my most trusted people, and not euthanised, even if they are found having stripped my corpse bare.
Julius also shared why he thinks pets often find themselves being the subject of yet another meme. He stated: “We love our pets, adore their cuteness, and could watch them all day long because they are undeniably funny. I think all their adorable antics and the hilarious situations they get themselves (and us) into are a perfect source for memes because their range of emotions and expressions allow us to humanize them.”
Hey, it helped clear out some sinus congestion. 😁😂
Load More Replies...The starts I've had coming across a pair of eyes in the most unsuspecting places. Looking up into a mirror and having a cat peering over my shoulder from the shelf behind me woke me up one morning quicker than a cup of coffee ever could.
That's crossing a line bro. Actually, I can't speak, I mock my cats for being fat all the time
I keep telling mine I'm gonna get him one of those cat wheels.
Load More Replies...We have a cat that is a bit hefty. When she bugs me for more food I sing "Get back, chonky cat!" at her.
I call my cat a "Fatty little boy" but it's actually alright, because I'm also a "Fatty little boy"
Shiny *and* stabby! One of my favorite combos!
Load More Replies...That's actually what black cats look like. A Panther in the sunlight shows he's a black leopard.
Beautiful. She is a melanastic (so) tabby. If you see a black panther at at the right time and at the right angle, you can see the typical rosette shaped patterning like real silk brocade. I believe most, not all species, can produce melanistic, and their opposites, the albino and have a night and day and one of normal coloring.
Mine does too! Took my tuxedo cat to the vet and she was like Oh! Your cat is brown and he has stripes!
My tuxedo kitty too! We call him the “ninja ginger” because his daddy was apparently an orange tabby and he’s got stripes and glows a bit orange in direct sunlight
Load More Replies...Yep, black panther have black spots on their black fur and black cats have black stripes.
Some more interesting data suggests that memes are getting increasingly popular in the business world as well. According to Amra & Elma, the click-through rate of a meme campaign is 14% higher than email marketing. In addition to that, the majority of surveyed people (60%) say using memes in certain marketing campaigns encourages them to buy from the company.
Cats also take a lot more patience and effort to get to know. Most dogs will be friendly love on you immediately and always, but you have to build a relationship with cats. I have a lot of trouble talking to new people, and it takes me a long time to open up. In this way, I relate to cats, which is probably why I love them so much.
Yes… and cats I’ve met are also too indecisive to pick a good username too 😂
Load More Replies...Cats are also a lesson in compromise. You don't want them on the counter. They'll get on the counter, whether you like it or not. You learn that you have no choice and accept it.
I put cat "shelves" up, best thing ever. Just a few and now they don't get on tables or counters.
Load More Replies...You have to wait for the cat to come to you and you have to know their language (like the slow blink). Cats are just as social and loving as most dogs are, but you have to earn their trust.
One of my cats doesn't care about any other human than me, it has taken years for her to allow my neighbour to stroke her head without running away. My other cat is more like a dog and is a total tart, if you have a warm lap she will love you forever.
It's also a good measurement of empathy for other creatures. Dogs are predators, cats are predators too, but they're also a target prey. So while it's instinct for a dog to be the top of the food chain, having no main enemy that would directly target them and seek them out as a main food source it's normal for them to be much more fearless and outgoing, it's instinct for a cat to be much more careful and they are instinctively aware that there are predators out there who will target and hunt them. So it's quite natural for a cat to keep their distance and be more careful in new situations and thread more slowly. If people don't take this into consideration when dealing with a cat they're not well educated.
Dogs have predators. Bears, wolves, jackals, coyotes and birds of prey.
Load More Replies...I love that my cat only wants me when she NEEDS me..and that she puts me to sleep, and traps me in bed because I won't disturb her. But she can be alone for 12 hours a day as I work, and not care I was gone!
we will never control cats, they control us. they only listen to us sometimes, very rarely, because they....... well, i don't have an answer for that.
Oh! Tiny, quiet snores. Or good growling at something in their dreams.
Load More Replies...My cat Nermal does this really cute thing, where he starts to meow then segues into a yawn. Behold, the MEYAWN.
What about staring at a blank spot on the wall for for 20 minutes?
Oh, I always stop to stare at the same spot. There is always something there, even if you can't see it.
Load More Replies...When she's purrin' so hard she drools. Or when he stretches or flops while on the chair or cat tree and accidentally falls off.
He fell off the cat tree and landed on the aquarium canopy. Almost went swimming

Load More Replies...When he head boops my head for attention and when I'm sleeping and he so gently presses his paws on my eyelids to wake me for middle of the night loves! My son's: when he sits on the back of my seat and licks my hair and sniffs/purrs in my ears!
When you become the perfect cat bed and they rest their tiny heads right next to your heart.
That warms my heart every time my cat Alice does this, then she looks up at me with her big green eyes that say I love you.
Load More Replies...My body is currently 15% covered in a blanket because it I try to grab more blanket, I'll disturb the wee furry one sleeping peacefully.
Didn't Mohammed have a sleeve cut off so his kitty wouldn't be disturbed?
It's not old. It has been done in the Ukiyo-e style but is a modern digital work. The hands and cat are wrong for the real old styles.
Load More Replies...The success of a meme, whether it is used in a marketing campaign or a chat room, often depends on how relatable it is. The mastermind behind Meow Incorporated emphasized it as one of the main ingredients as well: “One necessary piece of a good meme is relatability. As a viewer, being able to see ourselves in the meme is a huge ingredient; for example memes about common human experiences ring true because we can all relate to them,” he explains.
Ha. My dad is a dog person who never wanted a cat. But I found out the first time he went away on a trip that he brushes my kitty's whiskers after dinner, and it was my job to do it while he was away. He spoils that girl as much as I do.
Dad was won over by cats when he married Mom. We were never without a fur baby.
I have a cat and dog. The cat's never been that big on toys, but the dog loses her toys under things all the time.
1) Whatcha doing mooommy? 2) Hooman stop what you're doing I'm trying to catnap.
At least he likes it. Unless, of course, he took it to hide or destroy. lol
I was sure OP was going to snap a photo of the cat in the box the bed came in.
Internet memes can also be a great form of expression when it comes to global issues or indicating a stance on certain matters. They are an excellent tool because they often transcend any language barriers and can spread like wildfire if the topic is relevant.
Trying to work out where the boundary is - right down to the millimetre.
Heh, there was a cat that came by my previous work place who did something similar; I made it clear, with some difficulty, that he wasn't allowed to come inside even if the door was open. He decided to just lay on the doorstep with one elbow over it, making damn sure that he was technically complying, but that I could also go F myself.
Remember when your older sibling would wiggle their finger in your face and say, "I'm not touching you"? Well, this is the cat version of that torture.
One cat owner on the jury and you will be home in time to fix dinner.
my cat screams at me after i get home from school. i feed her at 5 30 and i get home from school, and basketball practice at around 5. so she literally SCREAMS at me.
With a growing number of internet users each year, the amount of memes is likely to grow as well. Thinking over their importance, Julius expects to continue working on them in the future with the help of his friend Mark: “It’s fun to look at meme trends over the years, as, in a way, they reflect our culture and how we communicate and what we care about. Mark and I look forward to capturing the Zeitgeist [the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era] more and making memes of various themes and pop culture references together.”
I have explained to my boyfriend very specifically, that (when we move in together in the future) he can do whatever he wants, but I will have a cat and that is that.
Very sensible. Discuss about children, dogs and cats. They can all give marital problems, so it is best to know where the other stands on those issues.
Load More Replies...My husband doesn't tell me what I can or can't do. But if he did, we would have about 100 cats.
Smart move. Words need to be spoken very clearly and words chosen carefully while telling others they aren't allowed to adopt/bring home/find an animal.
had a ferret that loved coins and wallets, trick was to never empty his hiding spot, otherwise he'd move his horde
Load More Replies...Nope, that's square being laid out to decide the pattern before sewing together.
Exactly. You can see the pattern in the first two rows.

The comment at the bottom is what happened first time he saw more than one cat and realised. The "Update" comes with picture, announcing the 5th gray cat
Load More Replies...That's exactly what I wanted to comment! You beat me to it. Upvote : )
Load More Replies...Aww. I had a gray cat who looked just like that. She lived with me for 17 years before passing away. She was the best cat ever. Her ashes are on my mantel in an engraved box with her name on it. I still miss her so much. :(
I see 5. And you aren't going to just ignore their needs are you?
"At least four" is not an incorrect observation for the number of cats in the photo.
“Memes were a huge way for us to all get through the last two years. I look forward to making more and seeing what all the cute cats and dogs of the world come up with!” shared the voice of Meow Incorporated.
We had a cat who was the granddaughter of the original cat, she was also related to the cat version of Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter films.
Bored panda has a post about this cat, her name is Gli https://www.boredpanda.com/hagia-sophia-cat/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
One of my sisters cats waits patiently for you to help her and doesn't make a scene.
Yes! My cat is like this: help me, I was trying to escape the harness that you put on me, Don't touch the paws, DON'T TOUCH my belly, DON'T TOUCH MY PAWS!!!!
I had to give our cat a wash because he had gotten into something and stunk really bad. It was going fine until he just said "f this" and started clawing. He actually got a claw STUCK IN MY WRIST. I had to actually remove the claw from my wrist. That sucked so hard
Painters tape over the tips of toes, it doesn't do a great job, but you won't need a blood transfusion everytime they roll in something dead.
Load More Replies...My 2 are veterans of getting claws stuck. They're normally quite grateful when I unhook them
Mine did this yesterday! Then went and pouted for an hour as my punishment.
The cat has an expression like, “I shouldn’t have lied on my resume”.
lol, when my friend did a self portrait of me, im Asian btw and so is she, she got a pic of Jimin, and put it on there. then i put a pic of Rose from BLACKPINK on hers.
I took Kohl (my older girl) camping with me once to a beach area. She loved the sand!
Load More Replies...Okay, but... A friend and I were camping in Joshua Tree National Park when a distraught couple asked if we had seen their cat. It had escaped their zipped up tent while they went on a hike. It was never found and most likely a coyote got it.
This is the reason why some old timers say a cat will steal a baby's breath. It isn't entirely a wives' tale. Some cats do that and a baby can't always move.
Yes I was going to comment on this. As cute as cats are, do NOT leave them alone with a baby. Especially a newborn baby. They cannot push the weight of a cat off themselves and they will smother.
Load More Replies...This. Every night. And often most mornings. One night I spent hours and ended up in the corner of the bed after trying to escape. She then decided that she wanted to lay on that corner. Naturally.
Candy Cane and than you are not allowed to move for a fraction of a second
Load More Replies...One of ours came in and plopped all 13 lbs on half of my face when I was in bed w a migraine this week. And I mean PLOPPED. I also mean ON HALF MY FACE.
Your cat maybe concerned about your weird breathing. Or it maybe trying to smother you. Hard to tell.
I had undiagnosed sleep apnea, and one of my cats would climb across my face forcing me awake, which would then cause me to shift my position. I'll never know whether he knew about my condition or that he was so annoyed with my snoring that he had to stop it.
It looks like the cats making out with him like its his nighttime routine
There's always the other option - that the cat adopted YOU! I know two families who got their cat that way - random cat showed up a few times and then decided "I like these people, I will move in with them".
Word. My cat adopted me on a business trip to Albuquerque and I had no choice but to bring him home to New Hampshire. Had him 16 years.
Load More Replies...Baby girl walked into the house and decided that she would tolerate us so we could continue to live in the house. And be her faithful servants. I think of that every month when I pay the mortgage.
I bet those cats feel so powerful and God like looking down on everyone like that. But then cats are just like that anyways.
Like lions finding a high spot to view their kingdom. And their prey.
Load More Replies...I would never get anything accomplished because I would be standing underneath them and oohing and aahing over their toe beans, floofy bellies, turned in paws, noses; oh, hell, I would just stand there making faces and talking weird to them all day!
They might feel like gods, but are they aware of how ridiculously cute their flattened bellies and paws look like from underneath ?
Accurate. Your mom is about 50 times better at drawing cats than well trained medieval painters.
let's hope she doesn't know how to write, too edit: the censoring. My eyes.
When my husband feeds our cat before I get home, she looks at me next to her bowl to tell me she wasn’t fed, then I hear him from the living room “she’s lying, I fed her”
She reads, she comprehends and you will have hell to pay lol
Load More Replies...She is such a cat, but dogs are worse about food they quickly 'inhale' it any old time!
It is not a medieval painting, it is a painting from the end of the XiXe century by Pierre Bonnard.

What in this world is worth living for? "Cats, said Death, cats would be nice."
Everytime i feel like giving up on life, I remember I'm the one who washes the cat fountain
Truth.. the entirety of the hell in the last 3 years, lying orange idiots, friends and family dying, loss of jobs, happiness and health. But my cat loves me. Well right now she loves me.
Jodie daubenmire -for your soulfull coment I instantly love you too.❤
Load More Replies...I have had 3 cats in my 33 years. I have stopped mid attempt because my cat looked at me with a sad face and meowed so sadly. Some of my best cried as a man was after these events.
I swear I brush all the cat hair off me before going to work, then somehow 'shed' cat hair on my desk all day.
Mine are black and white- I have no chance! Gave mum a blanket to use when she was over yesterday and she said it was covered in fur. I said it's been washed and tumble dried twice and come straight from the dryer, welcome to my life!
I have a black cat, a white cat, a gray cat, and two torties. XD I keep a hair remover in my car at all times.
try one multicolored dog. When I had a white one I ditched black. What can I wear with white, grey and a little bit brown? Maybe I should go for camouflage.
Not to mention the horror of cat hair in your bra that gets embedded in the when you wash them, and they poke you at unexpected times, driving you mad.
Probably floor to sink cabinet to shower curtain rail (real balancing act at this step) to top basket of shower caddy. Mission accomplished. However, getting down is another thing entirely.
We never could figure out how one of our cats was able to get on top of a 7ft tall China cabinet that was not next to anything else.
They have the ability to jump that high from the floor. Same for refrigerators; have seen this.
Load More Replies...Oh, that's easy. They climbed onto the spout, then jumped off of the turn k**b carefully, and climbed into the basket. I had to take mine down because my chonky boys kept breaking things doing this...
I keep forgetting BP censors the word "knòb" even when used correctly...
Load More Replies...If you keep your body wash and shampoo bottles in your shower caddy, then the cat wouldn't have room to jump into it. 🤷
They just jump in and knock all the bottles over.
Load More Replies...Very cute cats,... BUT, is that an airplane seat on someone's hardwood floor?
Yeah, that's just what I want - an uncomfortable, too-small place to sit in my own home probably with some kid kicking the back of my chair!
Load More Replies...It's an airplane with a hardwood floor. What airline do you fly??
That was my first thought too..must be an Iowa thing 😂😜
Load More Replies...Yes...what Funky Blue Girl asked-- what are they curled up on and where is it?
I have a feeling that could've been how this happened
Load More Replies...Not to be a killjoy, but scratches and "love bites" can easily become infected - those paws are in the litter box, and that mouth cleans their privates.
You can just teach your cat that you play together with *toys* and hands are for petting only.
My cat tries to be careful but sometimes the killer instinct is just too strong in him. I get an apology lick though lol.
Kitties have an urge to playfight - if you offer them your hands (which is cute as long as they're small - not so much when they're fully grown). Talking from experience: when I got my two little ones they 'fought' all the time. I never iffered them my hands for this kind of play, and haven't been scratched or bitten ONCE
And please DON'T declaw cats. That's animal abuse!
Load More Replies...They make caps you can put on you cats claws to stop this from happening, but more importantly there is this thing called training where the cat can be taught not to do this. Any animal can be trained with the right motivation and time. Jackson Galaxy who does my cat from hell has a YouTube channel that give tips on how to train your cat amongst other cat related content.
Add red wine and and dark chocolate, life becomes awesome
Load More Replies...No, see, these are books people were trying to read but the cat kept getting in the way. In frustration, the readers said, "Fine, you take it then."
Oh, to HAVE a cat sunbathing on a pile of books! pure heaven, all you need is a blanket!
By means of sitting on your chest and clawing at your lips because the adorable li'l sonuvabitch knows that's a more sensitive area of the face, and the when you wake up just enough to pet them, they leave so you go back to sleep, but then the adorable li'l sonuvabitch starts all over again until you get up because apparently you have to be up before the sun, otherwise you're late, according to your adorable li'l sonuvabitch who only lets you sleep in if they want to sleep in. Oh, and this is all accompanied by the sound of your adorable li'l sonuvabitch: "MMRRREEEOOWWEE" DIRECTLY IN THE EAR. Great, now I want to give my adorable li'l sonuvabitch kisses, where is he?!?! ETA: I found him and he knows I want to give him kithes so he's running away from me going "MMRRPP!!!" AND HE'S WAGGING HIS TAIL
Load More Replies...My cat, the Meow-Screamer, goes at it until I get out of bed. Then, she goes to her bed to sleep. Maybe I should meow-scream at her and see how she likes it.
The smile is perfect ...hint.. sleep while the baby sleeps!!!
Yes. Did you think we actually wanted to be touched by you simple mortals.
Load More Replies...Cat lovers accept whatever their cats want. My cat was rescued from outside as a kitten and never likes to be picked up. It took six months for her to come up on the arm of my chair only because she smelled the butter on my popcorn. Now she comes up to lay on the arm of my chair and will accept pets until she's had enough and rarely will sit on my lap. All her way or no way and I accept her as she is.
My smaller void begs for pets and then does the duck-flinch when I try.
That's the same look I get on my face when I see a garbage rat......
Don't show you cat this picture, you will never hear the end of it. Catto: what the f ? They took their catto to Egypt? The land of the ancient catto GODS.
Soooo f n funny, I just had to clean delete some pic’s because of the storage, there were so many cute pics I couldn’t decide
I made my pet an instagram account so that if my storage ever got full and I had to delete things I'd already have copies elsewhere.
Me: c'mere and look at these pics of the cat! Son: they're all the same! Me: no, his top whisker on the left is pointing east, here it is drooping south, here he is on exhale, this one's inhale! Omg, he's sooooooo cuuuuuute!!!!!
What did it fall out of to land on the roof? Did Escher design your house?
I'm guessing they have a balcony which overlooks the other house's roof
Load More Replies...Just stay home for the rest of your life. It's not a sacrifice -- it's for your cat.
I was going to say this, set up a security cam with the mic & speaker package. They are not overly expensive, just put it overlooking a favorite spot to reach her.
Load More Replies...True story, the first time my spouse and I left the cat home alone I was so worried. She's anxious and recently recovered from sore trauma. Anyway, I told my boyfriend that 'maybe I should call her' then immediately hid my face in shame while my boyfriend made fun of me haha.
Right? We've attained the ability to stay connected with other humans 24/7 if we so wish, in spite of distance, and yet, it's essentially wasted on cats.
Busted! You bet your sweet bippy I’d buy that dress for that exact purpose.
Ya can you tell me who’s being sneaky i don’t understand
Load More Replies...But, this a very old phrase; I had a t-shirt in the 70’s (😭 sorry about bad French) it said. “. Le plus je sais les hommes, le plus je t’aime mon chein”. Means the same but dog instead cat.
I'm gonna hazard a guess that it said: "plus je connais les hommes, plus j'aime mon chien" 😉
Load More Replies...Anyone else reminded of that Carrie underwood song that says " The more boys i meet, the more I love my dog"??
I can tell my Maverick to go find brother and he runs to my son's room and meows while dancing around for him to follow him to me. And people think Lassie was smart, hmmph!😏
I have a permanently screwed up ankle because I heard my cat pre-puking in the living room one night and leaped out of bed to try and get a towel down before she heaved. Pre-puking = that noise they make before they actually throw up. "Gack gack gack". :) I had recently gotten a new bed that was higher than my old one, so I forgot it was a longer drop when I jumped out of it and went running in to the other room. That was over 3 years ago and I'm still gimpy because of it. And no, I didn't make it in time so it was all for nothing. :(
My mum's cat has taken to puking/pooping in bags. Especially bags filled with new purchases.
Upper left has. Check one of the posted pics above😺
Load More Replies...So that's what a "dog person" looks like, no wonder she's still single.
I have two blankets now so not to disturb his majesty in his sleep and still stay warm.
Add two dogs to the mix. I don't know how I can even get out of bed in the morning.
My cat does this exact same thing. She lays between my legs. God forbid I try to cross my ankles!
We are two grownups and have 4 cats sleeping all together in the bed ❤
You are are so cute and fat! You are the coolest cat. You are my precious pearl, the most awesome in the whole wide world! You are so smelly, but you have a cute chubby bellyyyyyyy! I love my NELLIEEEEE GIRLLLLL!!!! 🎵 Thank you, and goodnight!
too indesicive to choose name: People will think, very good, you just made that up. But we both know you have many more of these! 😸
Load More Replies...My cat won't look at me and lashes his tail violently if he even hears my voice for over an hour if I sing him his song I made up. If I cradle him like a baby while singing it the time increases to the rest of the day.😹
My cat hates when people sing and will bite or scratch if you sing too close to him 🙁
Mine gets "You're my fat boy, my only fat boy, you make me happy when skies are grey" to the tune "You are my sunshine.." I think he likes it.
Did you know that cats don't actually meow to eachother often? They really only do it to humans to get their attention
My dad's cat hissed a lot. I'd hiss right back, just mimicking her. One day a friend's cat gave me some serious sass so I hissed at him. His eyes got huge and his expression said "Where the F--- dis you learn THAT language.
"Where's my food? That bowl doesn't fill itself."
Load More Replies...What a beautiful gesture😊 The cat looked at him for 0.000000000000001 seconds before turning away.
There was this TV show back in the 1960's called Lassie.' I thought at the time that they should have cast a cat in the role of Lassie instead of a collie. I hated the boy, Timmy (hey, I was only 10, plus in the dubbed, German version they gave the Timmy character this really nerve-grating voice), and when Timmy falls into the well, the cat Lassie would run home and just go to sleep on the sofa (and not get help like the stupid collie always did).
I pounce Shyla's tummy. She's not well, so I have to make sure whether she's still alive, or if I need the BBQ sauce.
You awake? Fine, now scratch my belly and feed me snacks until I fall asleep then stay unmoving lying on your back so not to wake me.
Cat: moves slightly Me: OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS QUICK SOMEONE GET ME A CAMERA
Old lady over there knew the price, she warned soon to be dead lady
I never really believed that a cat would react to seeing the bottom of their food bowl, but then I got a cat. So, yeah.
Whisker stress is real. Use a low rimmed flat bowl or a plate. Deeper narrower bowls make cats uncomfortable.
This imagine having your dinner placed in a box with a hole in the top such that the food is in reach of your finger tips at the centre of the plate but you would need to stretch and force yourself into an uncomfortable maybe even painful position to reach the food at the edges of the plate. That's why it's like for a cat with many bowls.
Load More Replies...There's a signature on the bottom right, but I can't tell what it says Screenshot...1c10c3.png
I leave mine out all the time so I don't have a problem getting the cat in!
Load More Replies...Maybe I should try to put a happy hehe box in the bad box next time.
Or, going by most cats’ normal demeanor, a Grumblebee.
Load More Replies...I volunteered at an animal shelter a number of years ago, and was given a litter of newborn kittens with their mom, to foster. We already had two other litters we were fostering, along with our own cats. Well, one of the litters we were given to foster was covered with fleas, which in turn, gave EVERYONE fleas. Since the kittens were too small for flea drops or flea shampoo, we were advised to use baby shampoo on them, since it's mild enough for the kittens, in case it gets in their eyes, but strong enough to wash off the oil protecting the fleas, so they will dry up and die. But, I'd need to bathe them every day, since new fleas hatch every day. So for over two weeks, I climbed into my bathtub, used the shower nozzle and got clawed, but bathed all 14 or so kittens. Gave our cats a flea bath, then put the drops on them. Gave one a SECOND bath, because he started drooling and shaking (bad reaction to flea drops, so he got bathed daily as well.) Baby shampoo works, though.
Reminds me of the turmeric-covered seagull rescued by Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital. Looked like a phoenix.
Adopt her then. I'm quite certain that's a shelter.
Load More Replies...As long as they old jeans of yours, and not a thrift store buy that you never wore. Because the whole point is for them to smell like you. Otherwise, the cat will sleep everywhere but.
Once my cat dug her claws into me and hung from me, like a grappling hook. I had bruises and scratches all over
My cat must've had an accident when he was little, he can't retract one of his claws and yes, these things happen a lot lol.
"Darned hens never finish their hatching job. Sigh. So I have to do their work for them."
It happens because most cats don't like things touching their whiskers, try a plate or a wider bowl.
Yep, my cat does this too. If she can see any part of the bottom of her good bowl she hollers until I put more food in the bowl.
Depends. There's those waterproof undersheets meant to prevent bedwetters ruining their mattress. After my former cat vomited a new mattress into the trash, as I could not for the life of me get rid of the smell, I bought one of these. Paid itself multiple times!
Load More Replies...Both sweet and cute as a button and only one of them gives you diabetes.
Reminds me of the (I think) Roman bricks, and the medieval illustrated manuscript, with the cat paw prints on them. Just goes to show you that cats have been walking across our stuff, saying “I was here” by leaving their mark and making it their own, since time immemorial.
Romans may have believed the cats were blessing their work. Our love of the furry companions is not a new thing.
Load More Replies...My cat does this. The soft paw grab for more petting is the cutest thing in the world. 10/10 will keep petting.
Then they slightly nibble you because you took it too far😂😂
Load More Replies...My cat started doing this at 15 for some reason. She'll also paw at my face very gently, no claws.
My niece and my cat. But he loves her since he figured out the tiny hooman knows where the treats are.
Agreed. Looks like it's too fat to groom itself. :(
Load More Replies...That's just disturbing on many, many levels more levels than the cat condo in the living room levels,,.... just saying.
Dear Bored Panda: you don't have to shorten the cat ones. We want to see them all. 😻
I thought mine should have been in here somewhere.. Not my cat, by the way, but he is lying on my Birdfeeder! Darn cat! You see why he's so content looking don't you? 26232212_1...7a8bb2.jpg
Thank you for my cat fix. More please. I miss my boy who crossed the bridge. 💖🐈⬛💖
