Cats really do love their hoomans, even if it pains them to admit it sometimes. But there are a few instances where cats just can't hide their purrfound love for their pawrents, and the cat below can't bluff their way out of this one. A pawrent posted about often finding his cat asleep on his pillow, and wondered why. So he asked the online cat community, and they helped him come to the most heartwarming realization: she likes to sleep there because it smells like him. It makes her feel secure to smell her hooman's scent so she can safely drift off into dreamland purrfectly content. If that doesn't pull on your heartstrings, we don't know what will.

In order to help prove their point, fellow feline fans posted their kitties sleeping on their pillows as well. Not just pillows, also their old clothes, bedsheets, and even kitties that tucked themselves in underneath their hoomans covers. It's purrfectly appropriate now that it's getting chilly outside and inside! We love coming home to find our cats underneath the covers. It just confirms what we already suspected: that they are our babies. All that's missing now is the baby clothes.

Another week has gone by as we wait for the purrfect weekend to arrive.

In case you were wondering, here is how one achieves a 'purrfect weekend': First, get a cat. It can be any cat – big or small, male or female, orange or calico – but it has to be friendly, and it has to looove cuddles; no cuddly cat means no purrfect weekend. Second, get your favorite snack. You can get all your favorite chips, chocolate bars, and even sour candy, as long as you can eat them mindlessly for hours. Third, choose one of your favorite comfort movies. The kind you can watch over and over without ever getting tired of it.

Now, here is the tricky part that is difficult to achieve during any other weekend: Get in bed with your cat, your snacks, and your favorite movie playing when (and only when) it is raining outside. Then, stay in bed, snuggle your cat, eat your snack, and watch your movie for the rest of the weekend. 

And there you have it – the purrfect weekend. 

The only thing that can make this purrfect weekend even better is if you had a collection of hissterical cat memes to scroll through. Luckily for you, we have just the thing waiting down below!

The cat may have been a Houdini, but it was largely the owners to blame.

Although accidents happen and Houdini cats can sometimes escape without provocation, house cats don't belong outside and should be protected from such a fate at all costs. Seeing a kitty fend for itself in the wild can be heartbreaking, especially if it's not your first time. When you rescue a cat in the outdoors, probably scruffy, hungry, and desperate for human contact, if the original owners come forward, it's hard for cat lovers to relinquish the feline back to them. It can be even more troublesome when the cat you've just found freezing in the bushes is the same cat you've already rescued several times before.

For the cat lover in this story, the third rescue was two-too-many and, after bonding with the cat the neighbors clearly didn't care for, she decided to keep him for herself.

Every cat should have a human home full of love, not a negligent household that leaves the back door open for the soft-footed indoor cats to escape. Read onward for the heroic, year-long rollercoaster story of a woman who refused to let a poor, hungry cat ever go without a meal again.

Are you a parent? How about an aunt or uncle? Maybe an older brother or sister? The point is that you know a little one, whether they're yours or someone else's. We all have a tiny lad or lass who we're engrossed with, obsessed with, and love. There's something beautifully simple about sharing a giggle with your kids over a cat meme. It's pure, innocent joy — the kind that reminds you that happiness doesn't have to be complicated. What could be more wholesome than 25 cat memes perfectly chosen to make your little ones laugh, squeal, and maybe even beg for a kitten of their own?

These are not your typical chaotic, snarky internet cats. These are rated G cats, wrapped in blankets, the tiny paws reaching out for hugs, and the proud mom-cats showing off their kittens like trophies. It's a cozy, safe little corner of the internet. In a world inundated with scandal, images far more mature than we want to see, and the absence of privacy, these cat memes provide a little comfort.  

Good morning, cat moms and dads of the internet. Cat parenting has its drawbacks. Early morning meows, zoomies of crashing into tables, and the sound of kicking sand everywhere will make any pet parent embittered. When your cat has turbulent morning zoomies so intense that they actually wake you up, you know you got it bad. 

Everyone likes to sleep in, but not everyone is afforded that kind of luxury. And okay, we admit, it's not nearly as bad as the life of a dog mom or dad, facing the bitter and brisk cold of the outside morning air as you trek downstairs so your dog can go to the bathroom. But still! Cat parents have their complaints too! The heavy onus of pet parenting is simply...heavy, no matter what the pet. You're in a deep sleep, off floating in dreamland to visions of soft serve ice cream and a jobless existence, when BAM! Consciousness hits you like a bus, but it's actually just your cat skidding across the floor and hitting the bed you're sleeping on. There's only one way to combat the aches and pains of a mischievous cat keeping you up too early, and it's scrolling cat memes.

There are many ways to impress a crush: flowers, chocolates, heroic acts of bravery, interpretive dance… but nothing says "I adore you" like a well-timed romantic cat meme. Cats have mastered the ancient art of acting aloof while secretly being full of love, which makes them the most relatable mascots for modern romance. Because let's be honest - half of us flirt like confused cats: one minute you're affectionate, the next minute hiding under the metaphorical (or physical) couch.

This fluffy collection of feline funnies is designed for anyone who wants to sprinkle a little purrsuasion into their love life. Whether you're sending memes to that special someone at 1 AM, trying to turn a situationship into a relationship, or just reminding your partner that your heart (and your lap) is not-yet taken (unless it's your cat), these cat memes speak fluent romance.

Expect slow blinks, head boops, tail curls, heart-shaped toe beans, and dramatic declarations of love followed by immediate demands for snacks. Share them with your crush, your partner, your ex you're still weirdly on good terms with, or even your cat - who will pretend not to care but secretly loves the attention. Get ready to shower your cutie with cat-powered affection. Because nothing says "Be mine" like an adorable feline holding the key to your heart… or pouncing on it.

All cats are beautiful - even the tripods, the pirate cats, the scruffy ones, the long ones, and especially the chonky ones. The kitten in our story below certainly is, even though a "trusted" vet said that he would have difficulty getting adopted because he's not stereotypically beautiful. He was rescued by a local cat pawrent, whose house is already filled with felines and is unable to keep them for themselves. We have a sneaky suspicion this kitty will end up as part of the family in a few days if they can't find a loving home, though.

Sure, he may not be fluffy, but not everyone wants a floofy cat that looks like a cloud. He's purrfect for a family that doesn't like a lot of shedding, and with those awwdorable ears, he will come running every time you call him (especially if you have a treat bag to crinkle). But seriously, we're sure he'll find a family to love him, even if it was maybe staring him in the face from the beginning. 

We don't know about you, but we think the vet's comments were pawsitively uncalled for. Beauty is subjective, and most cat lovers don't care so much about the aesthetics of their cats. It's not like dogs that come with huge varieties of shapes, sizes, and purrsonalities. What matters is that the cat loves you and feels safe around you. It doesn't matter what they look like on the outside, but how they act from the inside. 

Let us know how you feel about this kitty in the comments below!

The ability that cats have to get adopted by anyone that they want is literally something that will never stop impressing us. Seriously. It's just a matter of making a decision. Cats simply have to decide that they don't feel like being strays anymore, that they don't want to hunt for food or constantly look for shelter, that it's time to get pampered until the end of their days, and boom, just like that, cats get adopted. 

It really is that simple, and it can happen to us humans at any time in any place. You can get adopted during a picnic, or you can get adopted during a walk with your dogs, or, as this man found out, the kitten can walk right up to your home, get up onto your driveway, and adopt you. How does that happen, you may ask? Well, it's different with every cat, of course. But this one chose the method of "screaming until I'm picked up, then purring to show that I like being picked up and would like to be picked up often throughout my life - by you." And boom. Just like that, it worked.
