despondant meets dependant

Some people don't get cats. And we get that - most people think of dogs when they think of a pet, which makes cats the misunderstood kind of animal companion. For example, people are used to seeing a tail-wagging dog and see this as a sign for "I'm happy, come pet me!" - but with cats? It's the opposite. If a cat wags their tail, it means their agitated, annoyed, and you should definitely not come in for pets (unless you really want to be clawed). Another example is the "lack of affection" of a cat - people expect cats to jump on you and lick your face like a dog, but cats show affection in other ways. Cats that sit next to you on the couch? This is affection - they share the space with you, and you should feel honored.

So, you see? Cats are pawsitive in their own, very cat way. Because there's nothing more cat than cats. And cats are great, whether you're aware of it or not. As we said, some people are just not aware of how cats function, and therefore have no clue about cats' greatness. Cats basically rule the lives of their pawrents, and we accept that with love and open arms.

So here's to cats, and their meowsterious ways. Let's celebrate them with some hissterical cat memes.

Sundays are for staying in bed and snuggling all day - and we won't hear anything otherwise. Especially now that it's cold and gray outside. There's nothing we enjoy more than curling up under the covers with a nice big cup of hot coffee, a good Netflix show to binge, and no other plans. It's our one day a week to rest and recharge, so since you're already in a cozy, comfy mood - we thought you could use these silly, snuggly kitten memes below. No need to thank us, a good deed is its own reward.

But seriously, what's more cozy than a kitten who's all tuckered out? What is more comfy than watching a baby kitten sleep peacefully on a giant pillow? The answer is nothing, and those are the vibes that we're bringing to you today. 

Now, kittens aren't all snuggles and sunshine - they're also just a little chaotic. So, as much as these hissterical softball-sized memes are going to relax you, they might also ignite your inner feisty feline. That's purrfectly normal, so just let it happen. You can't fully embrace kitten energy without a some shenaniganry. Plus, we don't want you to sleep all day, or else you'll lose your free day and throw off your sleep schedule for the whole week. These kitten cuties will keep you calm, yet crunchy, peaceful, yet pumped, cute, and yet chaotic. So enjoy your peaceful Sunday and have a great week ahead!

November is finally here, and you know what that means. Christmas is literally tomorrow. Or at least it feels like it. It's cold enough outside that we feel justified in starting the preparation for the holidays. That's it, it's time to go outside, start getting decorations, begin embracing the holiday spirit. No more dramas, no more news, all that we need in our lives right meow is pawsitivity. And before anything else, that means that we have to start each and every meowrning with a smile, i.e. it's time for some funny cat memes. 

Listen, the time of year, of course, doesn't matter. Cat memes are always purrfect, and they are always the best way to uplift your mood. But even that feels different when it's cold out. Starting your morning with a whole bunch of hissterical cat memes first thing when you wake up, as you're still cuddled up in your blanket… that's the stuff. It warms you all the way down into your soul. It makes it easier to face the cold when you get out of bed. It's ameowzing. 

Cats are famous – no, really! They're actors, musicians, artists, playing villains in classics of cinema, as well as modern Hollywood hits. They're not just crazy, chaotic, and capricious creatures, they're highly talented individuals. Who knew that while you're off at work paying rent for the home, your cat is wandering around going from audition to audition, experiencing the high intensity rejection from directors. They really just want to catch a break and make something that will be beautiful for the world to see. They're tired of playing with your shoe laces or waiting around for you to get home from work. Watching the birds only gets them so far – now they want to be in The Birds, the classic Hitchcock film. 

Whether you're a Disney movie person, a cult classic, or an esteemed cinephile, you're bound to be watching iconic movies with at least one, if not two, cute kitties. Enjoy these classic characters with paws, whiskers, and cat ears. 

You know how the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? Maybe it does apply to us, as cat owners. Because we keep making the same mistake. We keep buying our cats expensive things, knowing that they won't appreciate them, and expecting for them to maybe react differently this time. The number of fancy cat trees that we have bought for our cats… only for our cats to sit in the boxes the trees came in instead. The automatic feeder we bought that our cats actually hate. The self-cleaning litterbox that ended up useless. 

The money we spend on things for our cats that they don't want and don't need… is endless. But finally, we think we came across something that works. Of course, this item is more for us than it is for our cats, and they don't really like it, but it helps everyone involved at the end. A bath bag - for those rare times when you actually have to bathe your cat, or give it medicine, or trip its nails. This bag went viral on twitter this week, and we can honestly see why. 

All cats are unique, let's start with that. Even the simplest trashcan kitty will have something special about it. Some spot, some dot, some little tiny patch of color that you - their owner - would recognize on literally any picture. None of the cats that we have are rare breeds of cats that would cost thousands of dollars. They all came to us from their own little corner of the universe, and they are all unique to us in their own ways. The fact that one of my cat's beans is black while the rest are pink is something that I will forever love about her. 

With that said, some cats have truly striking fur patterns or markings that everyone would point at and say: "whoa", and these are the kinds of cats that we have for you today. These are the kinds of cats that most of us would only ever see on the internet. Cats with hearts on their furs, distinct mustache shapes on their faces or itty bitty paw marks directly on their paws. Unique and beautiful. 

From feral to full of love, Café Au Lait's glow-up story is one for the heart. When this little stray first limped into her rescuer's life, she was in rough shape. Injured, feverish, and pregnant. After a trip to the vet and plenty of care, she began her long road from survival mode to snuggle mode.

At first, Café wanted absolutely nothing to do with hoomans. She hissed, hid, and made her feelings very clear. But time, patience, and gentle care have a way of working magic. One day, she decided that playtime wasn't so bad, and soon after, she was rubbing up against her new pawrent's legs like they'd been best friends forever.

Now, this once-fearful feline spends her days purring on laps, following her favorite purrson around, and sprinting away from any open door like she's saying, "I've done the outdoor thing, thanks!" From surviving the streets to ruling the couch, Café Au Lait proves that love, trust, and a warm home can truly change everything.

Some people wait all year for Halloween night. From ghouls, witches, wearing all black, ravens, gothic macabre things, and black cats, some people just get a thrill from the one day of the year where we celebrate the sinister over the happy. There are Christmas people, and then there's Halloween people. Even if you're not a gothic soul, you may just love dressing up and eating candy. And guess what? Your cat loves it too! Cats are big fans of O' Hallows Eve because they can also be spooky and silly at the same time. They may have made Halloween weekend their whole identity, and now that the big day is done, they just don't know what to do with themselves. 

The next day is another holiday, but one that's not as practiced, at least in the US. But don't let any rules or restrictions stop you from enjoying yourself with costumes, candy, and kitty cat fun.
