They say that one of the biggest reasons that cats get relinquished at the shelter is because their current owners are moving and can no longer keep their felines. While it's tragic and terrible for cats to be left behind by their owners, some felines turn lemons into lemonade with life's kitty challenges and this floofy tabby is no exception. 

Known for their independence and heralded for their ingenuity, cats are a lot smarter than we give them credit for, often taking matters into their own paws and choosing the kind of life they want to live. Funnily enough, a cat in this next story became the certified president of the hoMEOWner's association of this entire neighborhood after getting in good with the neighbors. Although he became a street cat by accident when his former hoomans moved out of the country, this resilient feline became the king of the block in his own way

And this couple became the accidental inheritors of a feisty floofy feline when they bought a house on the market with a resident cat living outside. Turns out, it was his house all along.

Two weeks ago, a 21-year-old hooman met a six-month-old heart-stealer at the shelter: friendly, road-rescued, dog-bite survivor, and in need of a furever home. Paperwork? Pawfect. Vax, spay, chip? Check. Once cleared, the kitten sashayed into her new home like she'd always paid the rent.

But then came a whiskery plot twist. An unknown caller found the pawrent and claims she's the owner and wants the kitten back. Cash on the table, photos in the DMs, origin story included. The tale features a move, a landlord "maybe," outdoor wanderings, and one very missing cat who later turned up at the shelter healing from a dog bite. The new pawrent, now officially listed and chipped, replied with a firm pawlite no. This kitty is spoken fur.

Today the whiskers point forward. Paperwork is signed, the microchip is registered, and a calm routine is taking root. No return label, no takebacks. Just a purrmanent home, a warm lap, and nine lives scheduled for love and snacksinstead of street drama.

Cats get it. When the weekend rolls around, some people are out looking for parties, brunch plans, and social gatherings, while others (the wise ones) know the true joy of curling up somewhere cozy and doing absolutely nothing. How else would you reset your social battery after a week of making small talk with corowkers? If you're the type to decline an invite just so you can stay at home with a blanket, snacks, and your favorite Netflix show, then congratulations, you and cats are on the exact same wavelength.

The truth is no creature embodies the introvert lifestyle better than our feline friends. They are, indeed, the masters of the Irish exit, experts at avoiding unecessary small talk, and pros at creating an aura that simply screams "do not disturbs." These 25 introvert cats are here to validate your choice to purr-manently cancel those weekend plans and instead embrace a weekend retreat full of rest and relaxation in the comfort of your home.

Honestly, we do not know how to put this lightly, but all you dog lovers out there are just plain wrong. And not because we believe so (although we most certainly do). But because we have now gathered enough concrete proof, in the form of cat rescue stories involving a dog lover so devoted to canine kind that they actually call themselves cat haters, changing their tune and falling in love with a cute cat child, just as they should.

And this story is no different, except purrhaps for the fact that once the hooman had switched sides and homed the homeless catto in question, they then went the extra mile and made sure that their home would be not just suitable for a feline, but completely feline friendly. So the next time someone tells you that they do not understand a love of cats and that dogs are better, you tell them that science says they are categorically wrong.

Last night I finished Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, a sci-fi book about a motley crew of spacefarers who "drill" wormholes to enable rapid travel across space for the diverse galactic alliance known as the GC. At the start of the book, they are offered a bid on a particularly difficult, lucrative job, and can't resist taking the bait.

This should be (another) lesson to me in not going all-in on a creator because I've enjoyed one of their works. I loved Chambers' To Be Taught, if Fortunate, and I've heard plenty of internet praise for The Long Way, so when I saw it at the bookstore recently, I dropped $20 on it readily. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have bothered finishing it.

First - if you picked up this book looking for the femslash, it's barely there, and it's a lot more friends-with-benefits than romance. The other two romances in the book get a lot more attention. This isn't a complaint from me, but if what you really want is F/F romance, it's not really here.

This is a character-driven book with barely a plot, which wouldn't be a problem if the characters were interesting. As it is, they are functionally interchangeable: a crew of people who are all optimistic, friendly, emotionally open, painstakingly polite, and obsessively well-intentioned (except for the one guy who's a Jerk, who exists to be a jerk whenever the scene calls for someone who needs to be less-than-fanatically-polite or there's a chance for Chambers to squeeze in another instance of his being a jerk, even when he's technically right). There is no character growth to speak of; none of these characters changes at all between the start of the book and the end. There's no complexity to anyone.

People sometimes underestimate just how funny cats truly are. Sure, they look majestic, mysterious, maybe even aloof - but if you've ever lived with a cat, you know the truth. They carry this natural silly aura around them at all times, even when they're doing absolutely nothing. A cat can be loafing on the couch, eyes half-shut, looking like a soft bread roll, and somehow he's still hilarious. That's the magic of being a cat: they don't even have to try to be silly - it just happens automatically.

If you're a cat pawrent, you've probably seen this firsthand a thousand times over. The dramatic zoomies at 2 AM, the random side-eyes, the chaotic decision to knock something off a shelf just because… cats are naturally born comedians. And if you're not sure you agree yet, well, allow us to pspsps some laughs your way with a fresh batch of cat memes.

Right here in this cozy little internet corner, we've gathered these cat memes that show off exactly the kind of silly billy vibes we're talking about. Just like real cats, they don't need to do much to make you laugh - they just exist, and suddenly everything's funnier. Scroll down, and let these feline funnies prove once again why cats are the ultimate comedy icons.

It's a universal truth at this point: cats rule the internet, our homes, and our hearts. Some people might claim they're not cat people, but deep down? They know the truth. And while we could go back and forth about whether everyone loves cats, there's one argument nobody can win against: everyone loves kittens. End of discussion. Tiny fluffballs with big eyes and smol squeaks -  yeah, resistance is futile.

Kittens are basically little bundles of sunshine in fur form. They're so tiny, so sweet, so playful, so wobbly, so fluffy - you could stack up a hundred adjectives and still not capture their full cuteness power. Just one look at a kitten doing literally anything - rolling over, trying to pounce but missing, snoozing with their tongue blepping - and your heart is instantly melted into a puddle. Honestly, it's unfair how cute kittens are.

And since kittens grow up to be cats (which means more love for the future, really), it only makes sense to start at the very beginning and appreciate them while they're still smol chaos nuggets. So naturally, we did what we always do when cats take over our thoughts: we made a meme collection about it. These itty bitty kitten memes are pure, paw-sized doses of joy - teeny tiny rays of sunshine ready to brighten your day.

Abandoning a cat is one of the worst things that you can do to it. Our cats not only trust us, they depend on us. We don't know the last time that you have looked at your little house cat, but that spoiled fluffy creature could not survive without you, they just couldn't. So dumping your cat somewhere outside is not just breaking their heart and their trust, it may very well be giving up on their lives entirely. 

It's bad enough to do it as it is, but to abandon a pregnant cat… that's just cruel. And that is what happened to the cat momma in this story. At a time when she needed help the most, her humans decided that she was not worth it, and they threw her out - at her most vulnerable, most scared, most in need of help. It's a good thing that there are still decent people out there, good people even, and this pregnant momma found herself in some good, kind hands, just in time.

One of the things that we love the most about our cats - and trust us, there are many of them - is how derpy cats are. It's just- delightful. Yes, our cats sleep a lot, and they don't do much besides that most of the time, but whenever they are not sleeping, you never know what they have in store for you. Never a dull meowment. One moment, everything is chill, and the next, your cat is chasing invisible ghosts around your house. 

We have come up with a description for our cats that we think describes this phenomenon purrfectly. From this day onward, we crown our cats with the title "derpy little gremlins of cuteness". And every cat owner that will see this description will stop, smile gently, and nod - because they know, just instinctively, how accurate it is. And yes, they love their cats and derpiness just as much as we do.
