Cats are weird little creatures, and yet here are - adoring their every whiskery weirdo deed.

As we should. Cats are to be worshiped, as the kings and queens they are, who rule our lives with an iron paw. Even medieval emperors adored their cats, so who are we to dispute that? But that doesn't change the fact that cats, these beings we admire so, are fluffing weirdos. They will literally scream on blank walls, try to parkour on your ceiling at odd hours of the night, and insist on napping on your laptop right when you have an important meeting (and let's see you dare to move them).

But let's see if your cat, who's definitely weird in their own way, beats the complete coo-cooness of this one. He dips his cat toys in the toilet water. But wait, there's more! This is, most definitely, done in good faith. No, it's not that the cat thinks the toys are dirty - he gives them as moist gifts to his stunned human, delivering them right on her bed. Thoughtful. And you think she just accepts it? This human tried everything to stop this strange gift-giving from happening to no avail.

You have to see it to believe it. But what we always know, with seeing or not, is that cats are weird. So, so, so weird. But honestly? We wouldn't have them any other way.

A cat was not on the grocery list.

A regular trip to the grocery store turned into an unexpected kitten rescue when this little guy was spotted sleeping on the side of the road. He was dirty, hungry, and clearly had been out there for a while, but still sweet enough to let a stranger walk right up and pet him. After finishing the shopping run and sending a heads up to the family group chat, the mission became getting him home.

He was still there on the way back, although not without a bit of chaos. At one point there was crawling under a parked car involved after he got spooked and ran to hide. Eventually he was scooped up and brought inside, where he quickly settled in after some food and a wipe-down. A proper wash later on made a big difference, and he's already looking like a completely different cat. He's been spending most of his time loafing around or cuddling up with whoever's nearby.

It does look like his tail was cut at some point, which is upsetting to see, but thankfully he's safe now. He's met the other kittens and seems content to either hang out solo or find a human to nap next to. A home has already been lined up for him with someone who was planning to adopt another kitten, but this little guy's calmer personality makes him a better fit.

The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways, and sometimes like in this story it takes going against the word of others to claim the cat that is destined to be yours.

At least that is what happened to one construction worker who found himself conflicted when a cat in the neighborhood of his worksite started showing him affection. Before long he noticed that this cat was showing all the behaviors of a stray, other than the fact that it kept frequenting one particular porch. And when the man finally saw a teenager go up to said porch he enquired as to whether the cat was indeed a feral feline or if he was their pet, to which the teenager claimed the cat was hers.

However, it is hard to claim ownership of a cat when they are left to live outside, fend for their own meals and patch up their own injuries. And so this man plucked up his courage and took the cat home to help it heal and serve it up a comforting meal. Resulting in one of the sweetest CDS rescues we have seen in a while.  
 

Another Monday, another week about to start with some purrfect cat memes! 

Mondays are hard days. For everyone. And everyone knows that. It is beyond important to start Monday properly - with the right mood, the right attitude. With a smile. And although there is not a whole lot that could make us smile at the beginning of the week, especially considering how difficult it is to get out of bed when it is still so cold outside, one thing always works. Without fail. And that is, of course, starting the day with a whole bunch if pawsome cat memes. 

And the purrfect cat memes that we have for you today are not just any cat memes. They are the best of the best that cat Twitter has to offer. Every single week, we put together a collection of the most viral cat tweets of the week. The funniest, the silliest, the most wholesome and strangest. Everything is right here, ready for you guys to enjoy. You don't need to go looking. You don't need to waste the precious time that you have in the morning in search of these things. We do the work for you, and all that is left for you to do is to look at these first thing on Monday morning and start your day with a smile. 

Your new manager works from home and sits on your keyboard.

Monday morning and your cat has been promoted to manager without consulting you. You sit down to start the week and they're already at the desk, planted on your keyboard like they have a full calendar of meetings. The laptop opens, they sit on it. The notebook comes out, they sit on that too. Oversight has begun.

Every email now has to go through them first. You try to type and they step on the keys like they're adding notes. You reach for the mouse and they rest a paw on your hand to let you know that was not approved. The staring is constant. Purrformance reviews will be based entirely on how much attention you're giving them.

You attempt to move them. They return immediately and sit down harder. You adjust your position. They adjust with you. Now they're loafed across your workspace, purring like they just wrapped up a long call. The tail is in the way, the trackpad is covered, and you are working at a speed that suggests morale is low.

At some point they curl up directly on your notes and fall asleep mid-shift. You weren't planning on taking a break, but management has made an executive decision. Monday purrductivity now depends on whether or not the boss wakes up.

Everyone knows that cats are criminals, but it's still funny to see them caught in real time. 

You only need to have a cat live in your home for a little while to know that cats commit crimes. All the time. Seriously. Adopting a cat spikes the crime rate in your house to levels that you never expected to see. Of course, it is worth it, but that doesn't make it any less funny. It could be small things, like cats stealing food off your plate if you look away for just one meowoment, or cats stealing dogs' beds without any shame. Or it could be cats breaking into apartments without any fear or cats stealing from supermarkets, with their main targets being the delicious snacks inside. 

We think that this is what the cat in this story was most likely attempting to do. It must have thought that the bank was a grocery store or something, one with truly worthy snacks inside. That is why the kitty broke in. Of course, the cat wasn't expecting the door to close behind it, or the alarm to start blaring, or the panicked police officers to come running, trying to find the robber inside. What an adventure. 

You weren't planning on getting more cats, but the house feels like it's missing one.

At some point, one cat just doesn't feel like enough. You look around and think, this place could use another small creature wandering through it at random. One cat is great, sure, but two cats feels like balance. Three starts to feel like a system. Suddenly you're noticing empty chairs, quiet corners, and realizing they could all be occupied by a cat who isn't there yet.

It's never really planned. You don't wake up thinking you need more cats. It just happens over time. One cat makes you laugh, another keeps them company, and before you know it you're thinking about how nice it would be for them to have a friend. Then maybe a second friend. The logic makes sense in the moment.

You start doing the math in your head. One more litter box wouldn't be that big of a deal. There's definitely space on the couch. The food situation can be adjusted. It's all very reasonable when you think about it long enough.

Next thing you know, you're explaining that they all have different personalities, so it's actually necessary. This one is shy, that one is social, the other one is in charge of yelling at nothing at 3 AM. You weren't planning on needing more cats, but now it's hard to imagine how you ever had enough before.

It usually goes hand in hand…

Internet culture is a vast, ever-changing web of shared language, humor, trends, and communities that exists largely online. It's the culture of a digital world where memes, tweets, viral videos, and hashtags are as influential as traditional media, shaping the way people communicate, express themselves, and even think. Unlike offline culture, it spreads at unprecedented speed; something funny, shocking, or clever can reach millions across continents in a matter of hours.

At its core, internet culture thrives on connection and participation. Forums, social media platforms, and comment sections allow people to interact in ways that were impossible a generation ago. Communities form around shared interests, from niche hobbies to global fandoms. People bond over inside jokes, obscure references, and recurring meme formats that evolve quickly — sometimes so fast that new generations of internet users barely recognize what came before. Participating in these spaces often requires understanding the subtle nuances of digital language, including irony, sarcasm, and layered humor. Cats are a particularly important part of the internet. It's actually crazy to think about how much they dominate culture today. Who knew that wide eyed, zoomie having furballs would be this popular? And what is it about them that makes us explode with entertainment? 

Cats practically represent entertainment and the internet. They're in reels, videos, memes, and basically have us all in a choke hold. If you're someone who likes the internet, then it's likely you like cats. And if you're someone who likes cats, then it's likely you like the internet. And if you like neither, then what are you even doing here and reading this? Go do something else and leave us alone. 

There's no better meme than a cat meme.

We're serious, and we don't say it only because we're the internet's cat memes hub. We're the cat memes hub because cat memes are the best memes ever. Every meme is better with cats, because cats make everything better. Every meme, of whatever topic, is better because a cat is in it. It's already in a cat's nature to do the Fits & Sits, so they might as well do it with internet comedy - if they fit in the meme, they sits in the meme. And they always fit. It's just the laws of cats, we didn't invent them. But we sure are happy to live in a world that is run on cat laws. Because, again, cats make everything better.

Bonded pairs of cats should never be separated. 

People who say that cats are solitary creatures who don't feel the need to bond with anyone don't even know how wrong they are. When cats bond with someone, they bond hard. It could be us that they bond with. Cats love their humans in ways that words could never express, but their actions show it. Or it could be cats bonding with other animals, specifically other cats. In fact, such bonds are common enough that the internet has given them a name: bonded pairs. 

Bonded pairs of cats are something special. They are connected with one another on levels that we could probably never understand. But we see it - when they are together, they thrive, and when they are not, they are lethargic, sad and irritable. They need each other. And it is our duty to make sure that they stick together. Some shelters even go as far as to reject applications to adopt if the adopter is looking to separate one bonded kitty from another, even if it means that both cats stay in the shelter longer. Because it's better to be in the shelter together than anywhere else apart.
