This is a case of misstaken identity. A WFH hooman in a duplex lives with Pickles, a grey tabby famous for side-eye and a purr rate of zero. During a DoorDash delivery, Pickles slips outside. Hours later, scratch-scratch at the door announces a grey tabby return. This cat is unusually sweet, curls on the couch, and fires up a tiny motor. That isn't Pickles' brand, but the hooman blames a life-changing squirrel seminar and welcomes Pickles 2.0.

The next day, the neighbor arrives in a panic asking about Smokey, a friendly grey tabby who purrs at air and dreams of tuna. Eyes drift to the windowsill. The "reformed" Pickles is clearly Smokey, copycat in every sense. Apologies happen, paperwork gets mewved, and Smokey is escorted home after a very thorough surprise sleepover. 

An hour later, the real Pickles clomps in leaf-dusted and unimpressed, reclaiming his post as Chief Judge of Everything. Scoreboard: one accidental catnapping, two near-twins, maximum embarrassment, and a renewed respect for microchips, tags, and knowing a cat's signature scowl. Order restored. Pickles resumes glaring. The hooman resumes laughing.

Look, we get it, being a feline pawrent and having to put up with people telling you to your face that your cat is not your biological child is tough. In fact, it is far worse than tough, it inspires blind fury, especially when there is no retort you can throw back into these peoples' faces. But now, with this list, you have a URL to throw in their face that will send their argument flying all over the place.

For you see, this collection of cute cat children wearing their beautiful baby onesies is great for two things. First, it shows that cats can be just like kids, even down to wearing the exact same clothing. And second, it gives buckets of legitimacy to dressing up your catto in whatever colorful ways you may see fit without worrying about the judgey eyes of society. So pour yourself another coffee and get ready shove those snotty remarks that Noreen keeps jabbing you with down her doggo obsessed throat.

All cat people know - every cat deserves love, care, and a place to call home. Cats are such affectionate creatures, full of love just waiting to be given. And another thing every cat person knows, is that we're all here ready to recive that love from cats. It's a meowgical phenomenon, and if you're a cat person, you definitely know it. The magic of cats is their love, and they just want a home to give it in.

And cats know this themselves. How do we know it? Because cats make it very clear. Some feral strays are begging to be adopted, both because they know a loving home is the place to be, and because they know this is where they can give their cat meowgic to the hearty hoomans who adopted them.

One such new cat pawrent shared their story of their cat adoption - a strictly stray orange who was extremely hungry, ate whatever the kind person could give him, and decided: "This is a suitable place. I live here now." Such as he is. The entire online feline family shared their own stories of how street cats basically adopted them. Or, more accurately, adopted themselves into their homes. We're rooting for these brave cats adopting themselves.

We think that at this point, it is safe to say that it is a fact that cats adopt humans and not the other way around. It is certainly accepted as a fact in the cat community. The outside world still gets surprised by this. People who don't know cats are surprised when cats choose to adopt them out of nowhere, but it does happen - all the time. People who hate cats get adopted by cats, people who have never wanted cats get adopted by them. It happens every day, to the point that sometimes you wonder if cats are only adopting people who dislike them. When is it going to be our chance?

But that is not true, as this case proves. Sometimes, you, the cat person, have some luck too. And as much as this person was not expecting to get adopted by a cat right now, one thing that we are sure of is that they feel 100% honored and happy about it.

Oh, Monday. Most people hate it, and the rest are lying about it. And cat pawrents are no different. Mondays are awful - we have to get up early and cosplay as functioning members of society, like going to work while leaving our beloved feline friends behind at home. And what makes this even worse, is the fact that cat pawrents have to do it right after a full weekend of spending time with our cats. Playing, napping, and watching them go crazy happy when a new cardboard box arrives home. Cats are the best, really. And on Mondays, we have to leave for work without them. Why is modern society so cruel?

So, Mondays might be extra difficult for cat pawrents, but they can also be easier for them. Because, unlike other people, we have cat memes. And cat memes are the funny remedy for a tough day. As cat people, all you have to do is consume some wholesome feline funnies on a Monday morning to sprinkle this cat pawsitivity all over your day. And just like that, with this funny cat magic, your Monday is better. All thanks to cats.
