Fancy Feast to a cat is like McDonald's chicken nuggets to a child. It's a guilty pleasure—if cats felt guilt, that is—and it's undeniably tasty. I promise I'm not speaking from personal experience, but I see the way my cat, Cooper, licks his lips every time he sees me open the can. Creamy tuna, salmon, and chicken in a gravy sauce sounds a little scary for us hoomans, but our felines can't get enough. In the way that a Churu gets a cat going like no other, Fancy Feast knows how to do wet food.

In between feeding times, how does your cat act? Do they ignore you until dinner time, waiting to hear that can click open? Or, do they sleep soundly, dreaming of the next time they'll be able to chow down on some food? Either way, they have one end goal: To eat, eat again, and then eat something else. No wonder they need to stay on top of their litter box cleanings… Yuck!

On a cleaner note, wet food is great for your cat, especially if they struggle with daily water intake. Maybe I'll open a can up for my feline friend right now… Alright, well, you know what to do—scroll below!

Nobody's cat is as graceful as they think. We've all seen nature documentaries and turned toward our cat, wondering how a majestic leopard that can leap from an acacia tree and skillfully take down a gazelle evolved into such a pathetic, tuna-loving Garfield. While we love our kitties, it's sometimes a miracle that these little pea-brained floof machines could have ever survived on their own. Many cats will cry and paw at the bathroom door when left alone for 3 minutes, while other felines (the independent types) will spend their days hootin' and hollerin' at their owners for an extra morsel of Fancy Feast. 

Alas, purrhaps our kitties are descendants of the elegant felines of the wilderness, but it's the single-brain-celled whisker boy sitting on your lap, purring with more gusto than a vibrating Nokia phone, that stole your heart. Our house cats were never meant to do much more than beg for attention and hiss at the dog, but one task that every cat takes very, very seriously is being the best cuddle buddy known to humankind—and that's an evolutionary miracle.

Recent Reading: The Sapling Cage

Oof. Today I threw in the towel on Margaret Killjoy's The Sapling Cage because I'd rather be alone with my thoughts than sit through another three hours of this book. This is a fantasy book about a "boy," Lorel, who disguises herself as her female friend to join a witches' coven (She's a transgirl, but her journey on that understanding is part of the book, and she refers to herself as a boy for much of the story.)
 
First, I will say that I think Lorel is a protagonist written with love; clearly Killjoy wanted her to be relatable and sympathetic, and someone eager for a trans fantasy protag may be willing to forgive the book's many weaknesses for that. That said...
 
I was shocked to realize this book is not categorized as Young Adult/Youth literature. Lorel is 16 at the start of the book and she's very sixteen. She makes all the sorts of stupid, immature mistakes you would expect from a teenager, which makes her a realistic character, but also deeply frustrating to read as an adult, particularly since the first-person narration puts us right in her head. The book feels young even for a sixteen-year-old; it reads more like a preteen novel about teenagers.
 
The book itself feels incredibly juvenile, both in prose and in narrative. The writing is simplistic, the narrative barely there, and the worldbuilding painfully thin. The book infodumps on the reader constantly, going into detail about things that are then never relevant again and don't connect into any kind of overarching picture of what this world is like. Reads very much like the author just throwing a bunch of things she thought were cool at the reader without actually thinking about how they would impact her world or the characters in them.

This whole situation is more tangled than a ball of yarn during zoomies. What started as a mutual decision to adopt Cat A turned into one person doing all the heavy lifting, feeding, watering, vet visits, litter duty, while the roommate slowly checked out. Things seemed fine in the early days, but since Cat B came along, it's been clear who's actually taking care of both cats. And now, after barely lifting a paw to help (even while someone was away on vacation!), the roommate wants to take Cat A with her to grad school? That's a hissterical idea. 

Cats aren't just roommates. They're family. And any feline deserves reliable care, not just cuddles when it's convenient. The best move is to have a calm but direct conversation soon, maybe even over coffee with a curious cat nearby for emotional support. There's still time to sort things out before the big move, but putting it off might just lead to more catastrophes. When it comes to their future, the priority has to be what keeps those whiskers twitching happily and the litterboxes clean.

Ever had a tech problem only to look over and find your cat already on it? These pawsitively helpful kitties are clearly moonlighting as tech support or at least think they are. From dramatically flopping onto keyboards to taking over the mouse (literally), these fluffy felines are here to fix your tech… or at least stare at it judgmentally until it works.

Forget 24/7 IT helplines. These cats offer furst class support with zero qualifications and a whole lot of sass. Got a printer jam? Your cat's already sitting on it. Need to reboot your Wi-Fi? Your tabby is tangled in the router cables as we speak. And let's be honest: that one cat lying across your monitor with a "you tried turning it off and back on?" stare? Definitely the manager.

Cats take their unofficial tech support roles very seriously. Even if their idea of fixing things is opening 36 tabs with one paw. Scroll through for a purrfect mix of chaos, comedy, and customer disservice.

Who knew the Cat Distribution System had upgraded to drone‑style "air deliveries"? One minute you're enjoying a quiet backyard jog, the next you hear a thump on the roof - followed by frantic kitten cries out of thin air like some feathery FedEx. That's right: sometimes the CDS doesn't just tiptoe across your threshold, it airdrops a spicy ball of fluff straight into your life. If you've ever wondered whether the universe (or the mysterious CDS) has a sense of humor, just wait until you hear how this little skydiver landed in the purrfect spot.

Say, cat pawrents, did you ever consider a world where you're not a cat pawrent? Not being the peasant in the kingdom of a demanding meownarch. Not being biscuits-awakened by them in hours that shall not be named. Not having a cat cry because their food bowl is only 78% full, which is unacceptable.

In theory, at least, it sounds great… but it's not. It also means you don't have the unconditional love of the floofiest, pure-hearted, and the most downright pawdorable creature in the world. Having a cat living beside you is the best thing a human can experience, 3 AM zoomies or not. And, you know what? Even the zoomies, the goblin modes, and the fact that cats think they're the royalty of the house - it's all part of the ameowzing charm of this fluffy family member in your home.

If you've ever tried to play a video game with a cat in the house, you already know: you're not the main character - they are. Gamers might think they're the ones in control, but cats have other plans. They leap onto keyboards mid-boss fight, park themselves directly in front of the screen during a crucial cutscene, and lovingly bite controller cords at the worst possible time. It's not sabotage - it's co-op… cat-style.

But honestly? That's just what life with a cat is like, whether you're gaming or just trying to send an email. They thrive on chaos, they live for attention, and they always know exactly what you're doing… so they can interrupt it with maximum feline flair.

This collection of gaming cat memes perfectly captures that universal experience of sharing your space with a four-legged chaos gremlin. Even if you've never picked up a controller in your life, you'll recognize the iconic cat behavior on display. Because whether it's in the digital world or the living room, cats will always be the true final boss of our lives.

For animals that have gotten the reputation that they don't care about others, cats keep doing some incredibly compassionate and amazing things. We've seen cat moms adopt kittens from other litters and raise them as one of their own. We've seen cat moms adopt puppies and raise them despite them being so different. We've even seen a common cat adopt a lynx cub and fiercely protect it even as it grew much bigger than the cat. Now, you might say that these are all cat moms, and their instincts simply force them to do it, but… this story disproves it. 

The cat who adopted these kittens, who's nursing these kittens, who's cleaning them and giving them all the attention and love that they need and want… is not a cat mom. Not technically. This cat is male and neutered. He's just that loving. He saw a couple kittens in need of a momma, and was like- yup, I can do that.

Some things are just out of our control, feline fam. You can raise your cat from kittenhood, caring for and loving them every step of the way, and they still might grow up needing medical assistance. Or, you may save a cat from the street that, despite you giving it a purrfectly safe home full of love, might still be clinging onto some habits they picked up from surviving outside. We're not ashamed to say that the same happened with one of our cats - we adopted her as a kitten, she was a stray before that. We raised her from when she was only 10 weeks old, and she grew up into a cat with extreme anxiety.

We tried everything. Really. We tried pheromone diffusers, calming supplements, providing a safe space, and reducing as many elements of surprise from her life as we could. 

Nothing worked.

We made the choice to seek help, and the vet recommended an anti-anxiety pill. From the meowment it took effect, she became a different cat. If your cat's anxiety is meowt of control, look at the real-life stories below of other pawrents who put their cats on Prozac!
