After nearly twenty years without a cat and a lifetime of never having one at all, this couple suddenly went from zero to two tiny roommates. Penelope and Pearl arrived together, six weeks old and already stealing hearts. Everything about their welcome has been thoughtful, from vet care and microchips to carefully chosen litter boxes, toys, and cozy spots to nap.

They are still settling in, learning the rhythms of the apartment and the people who adore them. One kitten hangs back a little, quietly observing, while the other wastes no time claiming laps and purring at full volume. Mealtimes are already a highlight, followed by serious grooming sessions and immediate naps that look suspiciously like total food-induced bliss.

Working from home means constant companionship, which seems to be helping everyone adjust faster. Small milestones keep stacking up, like hopping gates, exploring new corners, and discovering which laps are best for post-meal cuddles. It is the kind of early pet experience that feels equal parts chaotic and magical. With every purr and nap, it is clear these two are already making the apartment feel more like home.

Black cat energy is calm confidence mixed with a little mystery and zero explanation. These cats move through the world like they know something everyone else missed and decided it was not worth sharing. They sit quietly in corners, blend into shadows, and then suddenly appear right where attention happens to be needed most.

There is something effortlessly cool about them. Black cats do not try to impress, yet they somehow steal the scene just by existing. One slow blink feels intentional. One tail flick looks like a statement. Even when doing absolutely nothing, they give off the sense that nothing was done on purpose. It is minimal effort with maximum presence.

They also have a soft side that sneaks up on people. Once they decide someone is safe, the affection comes out in gentle head bumps, surprise cuddles, and loyal follow-you-everywhere behavior. Black cat energy is not loud or flashy. It is steady, comforting, and quietly charming. Equal parts cozy shadow and trusted companion, they have a way of making a space feel complete just by curling up inside it.

The holidays are nearly upon us! Everyone is getting ready to celebrate in their own way - maybe it's with family over a big dinner table, maybe it's with your friends at a cozy home and a nice bottle, maybe it's under the blankets with your favorite human, and maybe it's alone. If you do have to be with family for a majority of the holidays, it's important to have a scape goat. That's exactly why we've put together this handsome list of cat memes so that you have an easy out. We all appreciate family time, but it comes to be a bit much to be honest. From dinners, to watching Charlie Brown's Christmas together, it's enough to drive anyone crazy.

While everyone else is debating politics, asking about your love life, or insisting you try "just one more" side dish, you are mentally clocked out and spiritually aligned with a meme of a cat screaming into the void. Cat memes are the universal holiday coping mechanism. They require no explanations, no eye contact, and absolutely no participation in group activities. It's almost cruel how we're forced to spend all day and night with these people, when really we just want to be in bed with our cats. 

A sign that says, "NO CATS ALLOWED," is only a suggestion to a cat. Kitties will always do what they want, no matter what the humans say! Full of mischief, cats will follow their curious hearts into the darndest of places. There's a reason they have 9 lives to work with; they might accidentally climb up the wrong Christmas tree, and they might just sneak into the laundry hamper. Keep your eyes peeled for these cute and spunky kitties getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Look, faline fam, we're not saying our fingers are frozen at this point of the year, so it's hard to type out our Caturday thoughts, but… this is exactly what we're saying. So, in light of recent finger freezing, we're letting our office cats take control. Why? Well, first of all, we really want to go and warm our hands. Second of all, this is about the best weekly cat memes, after all - so why won't our cats curate it for once? They are the stars of the show.

Here's what Bondo, our senior tabby chonker bonker king has to say: "I'm not taking responsibility for any ruptured ribs from laughing too much. After all, it's memes that we, the cats, have chosen. And we do it best, as you know. Now, where is my hourly treat, hooman peasant?"

And here are the words of Nessy, the elegant and long-tailed calico queen: "Of course you address me as queen. You may now also address me as empress of cat memes, ruling over feline internet humor, curated for cat lovers from all over the world. Because this is how you all just are - a network of global cat servants. Please, dears, never change. You're all purrfect."

Lastly, here's what Joggle, the zoomies-ridden brainless orange kitten has to say: "654;lkkhjd seraassa zzzzzzzzzzzz" Sorry- Um- Sorry guys. He just zoomied over the keyboard. We have no idea where he ran to. We should go and look for him before he breaks something… bye.

You would think that, since our job is to look at cute and funny kitties on the internet all day, we would get tired of it. Well, that's where you'd be wrong! There is no such thing as too many cats, and until we've seen a picture of every single cat on this planet, we won't rest. It doesn't matter if it's a hilariously blurry cat picture of a cat mid-zoomies, or a purrfect angle posing for the camera, we could scroll through our furvorite fluffy felines all day, every day. 

Dog people get to pet dogs on the street, but cat people don't get such a luxury. And thus, enjoying cute cat pics from the hooman servants to our feline overlords is our version of petting doggos. It brings us joy, seeing all these awwdorable kitties stretching their toe beans, relaxing in a warm spot in the sun, or giving their hoomans bombtastic side-eye. We see that they are cared for, loved, even doted on, and although we can't give them our love, it's enough to know that they are.

So, no filters, no famous cats, no supermeowdels here, just some average cats for your enjoyment. But, really, is any cat actually average? They're our gift to you, this Catmas, and some of them are already wrapped up and ready to be placed under the tree!

Turns out that the Christmas tree isn't the only place to find surprise purresents this year. You might find them meowing from outside your window, or shivering in your garage! These gifts may come without fancy wrapping paper or a pretty bow on top, but they'll be the best gift you get all year. This gift, of course, is a new cat, and the best part is - it's free! 

One pawrent found this seriously smol kitten shivering in their garage, and noticing that something was wrong, they immediately took them to the vet. Turns out the kitten had a 102-degree fever, and without meowdical intervention, he might not have made it. Now, he's at home, all warmed up and healing. After about two days, they said the kitten was running around, playing, and eating normally. Yay! Unfurtunately, they have a cat at home that doesn't take too kindly to strangers, so they searched around for a family to take him. One wholesome neighbor stepped up and decided to become the fluffy feline's furrever family. 

This gift just keeps on giving. The pawrent saved a cat's life, and then gave that life to another family to expurrience all the love that comes with adding a new kitten to your home. Purrfectly heartwarming, and just in time for the holidays!

Another week is officially over, and that means that we can finally take a breath. It's been a long one, guys. Christmas is right around the corner, preparations are at their most intense, and it feels like every break that we take is time that could be spent more productively. We're here to tell you that is not true. Some breaks are not only good, they are required. And taking a break to go through the best cat content of the week in this week's Caturday meowgazine is something that simply has to be done. 

As always, we've put together the best cat tweets of the week, the funniest cat memes that people shared, and the most wholesome cat stories that hit the internet this week. And you are here because you know that you deserve this break just as much as we know it. A break that is full of nothing but cats and pawsitivity. A break that is legitimately productive. You know why? Because it's going to end with you smiling.
