Let me tell you a tail

Once upon a time, there was a meowy magical cat in a far-off kingdom. He loved looking at cat photos and reading up on catnip farming…

You’re hiss-terical!

You always tell the best knock-knock jokes, Mom! But seriously, did you know cats have all the necessary facial muscles to produce real smiles?

Do you want to get meow-ried?

These two have the kind of sweet, committed love that species of all kinds can cherish and respect.

Poor kitty! Showers are definitely not feline-friendly. The only solution for this sad kitty is to cheer up with some hilarious cat memes.

Best furr-iends forever

There’s no feeling lonely or blue with a cat around. They’re always there for furr-iendship and cuddles.

We hope this little guy lands on his legs because this daredevil stunt looks terrifying.

Feline sad

Can someone get me out of here? I’m ready to tackle balls of yarn again. I won’t pee on the rug again—I promise!

Pretty paw-some!

It’s pretty impressive when a cat tries to stand on two legs. This one definitely deserves the treat. By the way, did you know that you can train your cat to do these five life-changing things?

Can you paw-lease send me on a vacation?

C’mon, I’m ready to go! Just stick a shipping label on me and send me off to Grandma’s! Or at least get me some new treats. Maybe that’s easier?

Wait a meow-ment—are you taking my picture?

The best cat pictures are the ones they don’t see coming! This fluff ball’s look of surprise is priceless.

Another bath? Fur-real?

Cute cat pictures can even include scowls, like the one on this fairly annoyed feline. We get it: Baths are definitely not the cat’s meow. In case you were wondering, this is why cats hate water.

Speaking of baths…

This guy is pretty upset about his spa session and would definitely like to speak with a manager.

I love you the meowst

Every pot has a cover, and these two seem purr-fectly joined in their afternoon cuddles.

Take meowt for dinner, please

She’ll have the tuna carpaccio to start, and a salmon filet for her main, thanks. Please don’t overcook them—medium-rare preferred.

I’ve got cattitude

What’s it to you? You focus on your own fish; I’ll focus on mine.

Meowtrage of extra high levels

She’s not just going to sit there and take this food change. She wants the old, fancier stuff back in a jiffy, and she’ll be leaving a negative Yelp review when she’s done. In case you were wondering, this is the very best diet for cats, according to vets.

Such a purrty smile!

Now this is a happy cat. We can only wonder what sparked the mood. A head rub? Catching a critter? Scoring a meatball from Mom’s plate?

Pro-cat-ination is fine if it involves sleep

At least that’s the official cat position on the matter, anyway. This tiny kitten is totally playing by all the cat-nap rules and regulations.
