The World is Awesome.

Your cat is way smarter, weirder, and more intentional than you think

You might think your cat is just sleeping, staring at walls, and occasionally choosing violence,  but there's actual meaning behind almost everything they do. These random facts will make you look at them a little differently (and maybe question who's really in charge).

Not every home comes with a cat, but this one did. 

From the first day this family moved in, this cat was already there, hanging around like she'd always been part of the house. It started small. Food left out, time spent sitting outside at night, letting her curl up on a lap, blankets set out so she had somewhere warm. Nothing official, just helping where possible.

Over time, it stopped feeling temporary. She kept coming back, getting more comfortable, staying closer each time. She'd be there waiting, ready to settle in like it was already routine. It slowly became part of everyday life without anyone really deciding it would. Still, one rule stayed in place: no more cats. The house was already full, and that wasn't supposed to change.

Then winter came, and that rule didn't really hold up.

The cold made it hard to leave her outside. What started as helping from a distance turned into bringing her in "just for now." She didn't hesitate. She came in, looked around, and settled like it made sense. Then came the vet visits, making sure she was okay, getting her healthier and back on track.

Now she's inside, safe, warm, and clearly where she belongs. The cat that came with the house didn't just stop by, she moved in and stayed.

Cat memes are the best thing for your mental health. 

This is true always, of course, but it is especially true on days like this, when going online feels like walking into a burning building. It's crazy out there, we know it from experience. Of course, we continue going online. We continue putting ourselves in the line of fire - to look for the things that we actually want to see. And obviously, the things that we want to see the most - always, but especially now - are funny cat memes. 

The good thing about the internet is that, whatever is going on in the world, the cat meme production never stops. There are always hilarious cat memes going viral, and we can only say thank you - again and again. Because gently snorting at cat memes throughout our day, scrolling through them when we have a spare moment here and there, that is what is keeping us sane right meow. Of course, it would be nicer to be able to go online and find only the silly cat memes that we are looking for, but we can't quite do that… but you can. Because we take the fire for you to creatre wholesome and pure collections like these. 

No matter how manly and rugged you are, when a barn kitten chooses you as her new dad, you say, "Yes, thank you."

Cats don't care if you're big or small, manly or feminine, or rich or poor, they just want you to serve their every whim and fancy for the rest of their lives. And by "serve them", we mean love them, but sometimes, it really feels like serving. Especially when they randomly decide they don't like their food they've been eating for years now, and you have to run out and get a whole new brand just so they will end their spontaneous hunger strike.

They also don't care if you've never had a cat before, or if you even like cats. That's what happened to our animal-loving farmer below, who knows a lot about cows and chickens, but nothing about kittens. That is, until he posted some pictures of his new daughter online and asked for advice. Thankfully, the cat community came to his rescue, and the two are purrfectly ready to start to build a new life together as father and daughter, or master and servant.

Every cat pawrent knows their cats are brave. Most of the time, cats are brave in the face of the danger posed by a hair-tie flying too fast across the room. But some other times, cats show true resourcefulness in the face of very real imminent disasters. And when these are about to happen when we're asleep, when we have no way to know dangerous events are about to unfold, it's good to know we can count on our feline family members to alert us. We asked our very own ICHC online cat community to share these times when their cats woke them up in the middle of the night for a justified reason. The stories below truly touched our hearts. And some even made us laugh out loud.

Cats have the purrfectly unique ability to make us laugh simply by being themselves - it's one of the many joys of being a cat owner. And especially on Caturdays, we feel it's pawsitively impurrtant to stimulate your soul with soul-nourishing goodness and giggles. It seems like cats are always the answer!

As cat pawrents, we've had to upgrade our storage in our iCloud many times to accomodate all the hissterical pictures of our cats we like to keep on our phones. Why? Because each one is purrecious, and we can't even think of parting with any of them. Also, because on days like today, when we need to fill ourselves up with pawsitivity, the fastest and easiest way is to simply scroll through our cats' pictures. 

We have many of them where they look regal, meowjestic, like the purrfect models, and then we have the cursed images that make us laugh until we cry. Each one makes us fall more and more in love with our babies, and it never gets old. But, as much as we love the meowdelistic pictures, the best ones are the ones that show off their true purrsonality. 

These pictures activate the silly center of our souls, and each cat owner has their own pics that do the same. We rounded up some of the silliest cat pics from pawrents around, and put them all in one Caturday kitty concoction for you to enjoy. Give yourself a good giggle and revel in all the meowrvelousness that comes with our furbulous feline friends!

When spring has sprung, so does the fur from our cat's body. It's everywhere, and shedding season has only just begun. So while we drown in our cat's winter coat, we're here shedding the cat memes everywhere, much like our feline friends are doing with their fur.

We get winter hoarding. Really, we understand. It's like an evolutionary need to maintain yourself with literally everything to make sure the cold doesn't win. While cats hoard their fur, floofing up their coat as their life depends on it, we hoard memes. You know, that's just the Cheezburger way. We hoard warm memes for cold nights, and the I Can Has Cheezburger team hoards so many cat memes that we have a surplus by the time spring arrives. And when spring arrives, shedding season begins. Cats shed their fur, and we shed all the extra winter memes we had.

So what's more cat memes if not the blooming of the flowery garden of comedy that we grow here? The more cat memes, the more we feel like the warmth of the spring sun makes us happy. And we're all about sharing this joy with other cat people worldwide. So here are more cat memes we have from winter. Just have them, for no particular reason. Just take them and save them. Maybe even hoard them for next winter or something, we don't know, we're not here to tell you what to do.

This rescue cat came with zero sense of personal space and full commitment to cuddles. 

Some cats like their space, and then there's Velcro, who clearly believes purrsonal space is more of a suggestion. This clingy little legend, also known as Velvie (and very deservedly Sir Clings-a-Lot), went from having no one to suddenly having everything. His start wasn't easy. He was abandoned on the streets, left without care, unvaccinated, and even had to deal with other cats picking on him. Not exactly the kind of beginning any cat deserves.

But Velcro didn't stay down for long.

Once his story reached the right people, it was game over in the best way. This family of two didn't think twice, they knew he belonged with them. Just like that, two became three, and Velcro finally got his upgrade from street life to full-time indoor cat with built-in humans.

He's clearly making the most of it. With a name like Velcro, you already know he's not going anywhere. He's the kind of cat who sticks close, follows you around, and makes sure you're never alone for too long. No independence here, just full commitment to being as close as possible at all times.

From rough beginnings to nonstop snuggles, Velvie didn't just find a home, he found his people.

Once you've been dating for so long, it becomes harder and harder to break up. 

This is one of those stories you just feel inclined to follow and see what happens. The couple has been together for 4 years, but they've decided to split. It's never easy to go through a breakup, but especially hard when you share animals together. They have three cats – Tuxedo (4-years-old), Void (3-years-old), and Tabby (8 months old). His initial thought was that the older two would go with her and he'd keep the youngest. But he's really grown attached to the cats, and the thought of losing both the older cats is hurting him. The Void cat is his baby, but the Tuxedo cat is hers, but the Tuxedo and Void are also best friends. He wonders if the best place for the Void is with his older brother, or if it's with him. He isn't sure, and asks the internet about how to know who is more bonded. The Tuxedo and Void groom each other, play together, share resources, and sleep near each other. It's not easy to imagine that they'd leave each other, and he feels very stuck. Comment below what you think he should do. 

After looking up cats on the internet all week, he found that the universe listened and presented him with a cat of his own… just not when or where he expected.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if it's a cat. Because, as we've learned with the Cat Distribution System, if you wish for it and you're a kind purrson, you will be delivered a cat. Probably when you least expect it, like on your way to the mechanic shop to get your car checked out.

In the middle of a livestream, Torian Strauss heard something coming from inside his car. It was none other than a tiny feral kitten, hiding underneath! He admitted in a follow-up video that he had been researching cats on the internet all of last week, and that was enough for the CDS to send one right to him.

He took the scared baby to the shelter, hoping to find her a home, but the shelter refused to take her because she was too young. With no other option, Torian decided to let fate be fate and adopt her for himself. He named her 'Miss Piggy Pampers', along with a bunch of other cute nicknames, like the purrfect 'Piggy Bologna', and others. He gave her a flea bath, bought her her own pink cat castle, and was clearly falling in love. 

There's something so wholesome about someone becoming a cat purrson in real-time, and that's exactly what you can see here. Just a guy, rescuing a cat, and then realizing that she's everything he had ever wanted.
