If you think that Christmas is the most wonderful and joyous time of the year, then clearly, you have never had pets before. Because somehow, after you get pets, Christmas gets even happier. Prepare yourselves for dogs tangled in Christmas lights and for cats climbing up your Christmas trees with absolutely no shame. And prepare for these disasters to be the best, happiest disasters ever. Really, after having Christmas with them, you will no longer even remember what it was like to have it without them. 

And it's really no surprise that our pets enjoy this Christmas time as much as we do, especially the first time. You may not remember the first time that you experienced the magic of Christmas, because you were just too young for it, but you will certainly remember your pets' first Christmas and all the magic that comes along with it. And you know what? In case it has been a while since that has happened for you with your pet as well, we have put together some new - and very excited - pets experiencing their first Christmas for you to fawn over. 

We all want money, but unfortunately it doesn't grow on trees like it did for Boomers. Just kidding. It's no laughing matter! But cats are, so we're here to bring bridge the gap between your worst fears, and your greatest pleasures - cats living it up in style through cat memes! Cats love to live the good life. They simply can't get enough of that organic cat nip, gluten-free wet food, and cruelty free cat toys, made by ex-cat prisoners to better boost the economy. Cats really know how to live the good life, and it shows in their lifestyle. Do you ever wonder where all your money is going? It's going to their $18 matcha drinks, their fancy cat mocktails, and their sweater vests and winter cardigans. 

It's okay to feel like you want more money than you have, and it's okay to scroll cat memes to dissociate from working harder for more money. Welcome to the glitziest, glammiest, most fabulously fur-coated corner of the internet: a place where cats don't just purr, they prosper. These 40 fancy felines have clawed their way into full riches — not the financial kind (though some do lounge on velvet cushions that cost more than our rent), but the riches of luxury, leisure, and a lifestyle built entirely around being undeniably adored.

Cats sure are a creative bunch. They know how to solve problems in a variety of ways, all the way from incredibly sensitive and well-thought-out, to wild, frenetic and recklessly getting the job done. Which is what makes them such scarily bad work from home companions, for if your job requires you to ignore your cat child's schedule while working from home, then you will be in for quite the series of unfortunate events.

The mildest of which is them using their cuteness to lull you into a deep and sweet sleep as they purr away on your lap. But if that does not work, then they will be more than happy to handle things in different ways, ways that become progressively more clawminal as they develop. So the next time you are upset about having to leave home for work, maybe be just a little thankful too that doing so will not cost you your job…

We're not saying we're mad at a person that we've never met, but… yes. Yes, we do. We're very mad at this old lady and her disregard for the cats' well-being. They're not her cats, but she has lived with them for about five years. That's five years filled with feline delight and floofy happiness. You'd expect that after five years of living in a house with cats, the live-in person will develop some kind of cordial relationship with the cats, at least. But, buffleingly enough, not in this case.

When you hear about an old lady, mostly the phrase "sweet old lady" comes to mind. Well, not in this case. We're talking about a 70-year-old live-in aunt for the past five years - who doesn't pay any rent, who never takes care of the bills, and repeatedly breaks the one rule the niece and her boyfriend set - don't let the cats out. But she lets them out all the time. Not "forgot the door open and the cat ran out, oops" sort of rule-breaking. More like "I just let the cat out again, knowingly, consciously, even if you asked me not to many times, for many reasons". Yeah.

Are we mad? Yes, we are. You don't just compromise a cat's safety because you feel like it. Especially if the outside of that specific house you live in is very unfriendly to cats. We think any cat pawrent would agree - if our cat's safety is compromised, we'd do anything in our power to prevent that from happening. Every cat pawrent cares for their cat's safety.

Guys, we may have just found the renewable energy that will propel hoomanity into a future where we never have to worry about running out of fuel ever again. And the best part is that it's purrfectly economical, sustainable, and fluffy. You probably even have all the ingredients you need at home! We've been hard at work here at the I Can Has Cheezburger offices, and we've finally finished our prototype for the cuteness-energy-generator that will change the world. All you have to do is put your cute cat inside, then the machine converts the cuteness into a purrrrre energy that you can use to fuel anything and everything!

To prove it works, we're going to give you some funny feline memes of some very cute cats. See how these kitty cuties fill you with the energy of 1,000 zoomies? Are you not inspired and pawsitively flushing with pawsitivity? Are these memes the very thing you needed to get you through this day? If you answered "yes" to any or all of these questsions, then this proves our theory right. If you don't believe us, have a nice scroll and see how your Meownday gets better simply by scrolling through our sublime selection of cute cat memes.

The future is here, and it is cat.

Another weekend is coming to a close, and goodness, we are so not ready yet. That's fine though. There's still time. We have an entire Sunday ahead of us to focus on the things that matter. And the things that matter… are not being productive, are not spending time with friends and family, are not going out and working out. No, that is all secondary to the things that matter most to our mental health, and those things include a whole lot of cat memes. 

That is why every single week, we bring you a brand new collection of not just any funny cat memes, but the best cat posts and memes and stories straight from the depths of Twitter. It's a good thing that it takes only a couple minutes to go through a list like this, honestly. That way, once we have the things that actually matter out of the way, we can focus on all those secondary things. Or, we could just look at even more cat memes instead. 

As the cold weather begins to roll in, cats everywhere seem to know it's time for a wardrobe change. Suddenly, the sunlight isn't quite as warm, the floors feel a bit too chilly, and a cozy spot becomes more valuable than catnip. That's when the sweaters come out. The tiny knits, the fleece pullovers, and the hilariously puffy jackets that turn even the most serious cats into soft, fashionable marshmallows.

Some cats embrace their winter attire with pride, strutting around like runway models in miniature wool. Others sit perfectly still, unsure how they ended up wearing a snowflake-patterned sweater but secretly enjoying how warm it feels. And then there are the dramatic types, flopping over like they've lost the ability to walk the moment a hood touches their head.

But whether they love their outfits or simply accept them for the sake of warmth, there's something undeniably wholesome about cats bundled up against the cold. Tiny scarves, little socks, and sleepy eyes peeking out from cozy layers remind us that winter is better when we're wrapped up, snug, and surrounded by comfort.
