One piece of advice that we will give you, cat owners to cat owners, about getting into new relationships is: listen to your cats. Your cats are the best judges of character when it comes to your future partners. We mean that seriously. It's a sign. If your cat gets along with your new partner, that's a sign. And if your cat doesn't get along with your new partner, that's a sign too. And more than anything, the way your partner treats your cat is the biggest sign of all.

Our cats are like our babies. People may snort when we say that, but it's true. We love them like they are our own. And we expect our partners, whether they love cats or not, to, at the very least, treat our cats with respect. That's the baseline. If you promise to feed our cats when we are away on vacation, we expect you to not forget to do it because you were playing video games, and we cannot believe that is something that actually has to be said. 

A woman who runs a cat sanctuary for "unadoptable, feral, and special needs" cats never turns away from someone asking her help to rescue a cat. So when a woman called saying she saw two cats darting across the street, this woman went into action. She found the two and brought them to the sanctuary where she will make sure they find a good home. 

Then she was sent to find another cat. As she was meowing in the woods to find them, she heard it coming from a nearby tree. She went over, opened up a can of cat food and started meowing trying to convince the cat to come out. As it emerged from the bottom of a tree, her heart sank. It was an itty bitty kitty. No more than 8 weeks, which means she still needs her mama! Turns out, those two cats she had rescued earlier were her parents. The family got reunited and are safe and warm at the sanctuary. 

Though she focuses on cats who aren't really able to be adopted, she still is going to help find these sweet beautiful feline friends a new home to live their 9 lives out in a warm home with lots of love! 

Someone who likes metal music are usually called a "metalhead." They like fast and angry music, dark and gothic decor, and have macabre hobbies. Take, for instance, this metalhead who likes to search for roadk*ll and then memorialize their bones in beautifully decorated and honorable works of art. This time, however, he didn't come across your common side of the road scene, he came across an orange kitten. 

The cat seemed frozen to the core. But, as many medical professional say, no one is gone until the are warm and gone. That is because hypothermia can easily make someone appear like they have already left this world. But this kitten had not left yet, so the metalhead decided to let his sweet side shine and work hard at rescuing this little baby. 

Thankfully, he was successful! He spent hours warming him up, manually pumping his heart, and feeding him. By the time they actually reached the vet, the baby was fully back to life. There is definitely a metal song in this tale somewhere. But for now, all us cat people are ready to start a metal band and call it Frozen Kitten Necromancer. We are all metalheads now and this kitten is our mascot! 

Cats are famously fluid creatures, and every cat owner has witnessed moments where their pet seems to forget that bones even exist. One minute they are a perfectly normal house cat and the next they are spilling over the edges of a bowl like a furry waterfall. They pour themselves into baskets, sinks, flowerpots, and cardboard boxes that should never accommodate their full bodies, yet somehow do. It is as if gravity bends around them out of respect.

Their ability to reshape themselves into whatever container they choose is both impressive and deeply confusing. A cat can stretch to the length of a baguette or compress into a perfect loaf without warning. They melt off couches like butter left in the sun and slide under doors with alarming determination. Scientists may try to describe it with flexibility and cartilage, but anyone who has lived with a cat knows the truth. Cats are liquid because they want to be.

And while their physics-defying behavior makes no logical sense, it always results in excellent entertainment. Every new puddle-cat formation feels like discovering a fresh law of nature, one that proves the world is a little stranger and a lot funnier with felines around.

As the nights grow colder and quieter, we all need something to get us out of our winter funk. Cozy, cold evenings in bed are blissful in their own way, but there comes a time when we should exonerate ourselves from the shackles of coze and embrace something on the silly side – absurdly ridiculous and silly cat memes. 

The sillier they are, the better. Life is hard, and no matter what someone tells you, it doesn't stop being hard unless they're trying to sell you something. We all need a mindless pick-me-up, a meme scroll so good and comforting that we're brought back to the deepest and most wholesome memories of our childhood. Our inner selves are screaming in laughter at the absolute absurdity of cat memes. And for cat owners and lovers, even more so. 

Do you ever look at your cat and just think to yourself, "what in the world is going on in that cat brain?" From his bizarre countenances, to his 4 am zoomies from one end of the house to the other, we question the purpose and domestication of these insane creatures. So let yourself enjoy, embrace, and feel in touch with your silly inner child with these kitty kitty meow time cat memes. 

It's not every day that we get to read a story with so many coincidences that needed to happen to facilitate its happy ending. We're sure some invisible strings of fate were pulled by the mysterious Cat Distribution System to make it all happen. After all, that's how it works - from the shadows, from behind the scenes, making sure every coincidental situation occurs just as it should, so all cats in its care would get to their furrever homes - safe, sound, and loved.

But these two specific fluffy feline souls needed a lot of nudges in the right direction to arrive at that very happy end they're in right now. First of all, they both needed to be found individually - each by their own designated hooman. But the CDS made sure both of these people were close friends, who would communicate with each other about their rescues - the lone kitten and the sweet stray mama who lost her litter. Then, the fateful meeting between the two cats needed to happen, and… well, you already know this one has the happiest of endings.

Having one person who cares for a stray cat is one thing, but having two of them is something else. And having them take care of the two in the most optimal way together? Now, that's phenomenal. We wish the mama cat and the kitten many years of happiness together.

Let's be real - cats are purrfect. They're almost too purrfect. They're graceful, beautiful, with luscious fur, ameowzing hunters, always smell good, and they think they're better than everyone else (they are). But, it's impawssible to live with something that's purrfect because it's setting a standard that's unrealistic. Even Ceiling Cat knew that the cats they were creating were too good, so they added a little extra flavor to their feline souls that made them purrfectly ready to be paired with hoomans - derpiness.

As someone who has lived with cats for most of their lives, we can tell you that underneath all that meowjestic beauty is the brain the size of a walnut that is too curious for its own good. Cats are nature's glitchiest and silliest creation, and we love them for it. It adds some chaos and fun to their feline purrsonalities. Some cats are obsessed with potatoes, some fur babies love to hang upside down, and those are just the ones we can think of off the top of our heads. 

But it really is this combination that makes cats truly special. They're silly, funny, beautiful, adorable, and surprising all in one tiny package. The purrfect package.
