The Greenman's Grove

Cats may look regal and refined, but bring a plant into the house and suddenly they're gourmewt salad enthusiasts. From crunchy leaves to delicate petals, felines see greenery as their personal buffet… and no plant is safe.

Spider plant? Chomped. Aloe? Sampled. That carefully nurtured monstera? Now featuring bite marks shaped like tiny teeth. Even the plants that are supposed to be "cat safe" get munched within minutes. It's not about hunger. It's about cattitude. Because why nibble kibble when you can shred your hooman's decorative greenery instead?

Of course, cats don't just eat plants. They perform plantastrophes. Pots get toppled, dirt gets flung like confetti, and leaves become new toys. One paw swipe and your ficus goes from thriving to flopping. And while you're busy Googling "how to revive a chewed-up fern," your kitty is sprawled nearby, licking their paws with zero regret.

At the end of the day, plants are just another playground for our furry friends. To them, your living room is less a curated jungle and more an all-you-can-eat salad bar with complimentary chaos.

Well, it is not the first time and will likely not be the last time that this happens, but once again a cat hating husband has struck. That is correct ladies and gentlemen, the Neanderthal that is the feline averse husband has once again found a subversive way to eject the household cat from said house in the hopes of asserting his dominance and getting more attention from his wife.

The problem being that he does not understand that in doing so his wife will grow to hate him instead of love him and that if he had an ounce of functioning brainpower, we would learn to love the cat too for two reasons. One being that cats are freaking awesome and everyone should love them anyway. And the second being that if he wants to be held dearer in his betrothed's heart, then the way to get there is by being closer to the cat. It is not difficult to figure that out…

Going to work and having a floofy feline overlord at home are two concepts that contradict each other. As cat pawrents, we know that having a cat at home, when you adopt this whiskered creature into your family, you start living by their rules. And one of these rules, a very impawrtant one, is: "You go where I want you to go, and when I order you to do so". Your cat leads you to the door? You must follow and open it, right meow. Your cat is walking you to the snack drawer? Well, you know what to do? And when your cat doesn't want attention? You must walk away. It's always on their terms.

And that's why going to work breaks that sacred rule of the feline-human relationship. Expecially because its built on the notion that we, humble hoomans, are meant to serve the cat royalty leaving between out four walls. And how can that be true, when we leave for an office somewhere that's not at home, with our laps ready for Their Highness endless naps?

So we took to the interwebs, like you know we always do, and made sure to combine these two concepts together in memes - cats and work. Some working cat memes are a great way to aleviate the strain on your cat-human relations of a Monday like this, when you need to go to work and they didn't approve it.

Cats are resilient creatures. And yet, they're also extremely sensitive to changes in their environment. Some cats welcome additions to the household, guests, and even other animals. Others, on the other hand, need quiet, calm, and stability. Even something as silly as rearranging your furniture without the cat's purrmission can send them into a tizzy for a few days (honestly, why would you do anything without their approval first?). The good news is that it's very easy to see when a cat is uncomfortable, if you know the signs: the classic (and adorable) airplane ears, hiding frequently, eating and drinking less, behavioral problems such as marking territory or not using the litter box, etc.

Nobody likes to see someone they love go through a difficult period, and after adding some small children to their growing family, this feline's family could clearly see that their cat was not adjusting well to the new hooman children in their house. So, they made the difficult decision to rehome their cat after 7 years. Luckily, the kitty's previous foster family agreed to adopt her back, and they even have a surprise reunion in store for her… they kept one of her brothers from the same litter! It will be a fuzzy family reunion fur sure. Read the whole story below!

Cats have this meowsterious and magical gift: they always know when their humans need comfort. A soft paw on the lap, a perfectly timed cuddle, or just their soothing purrs - our feline friends are natural emotional support expurrts. They may not have a fancy degree, but a cat's love is the best medicine of all.

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we went around the office and asked our own expurrt cat pawrents about the times their cats became their little therapspspsts. The answers warmed our hearts and reminded us how special this bond really is.

Here are some of our favorite ameowzing stories:

• "My cat lies across my laptop when I'm stressed at work - it's like she's forcing me to take a break"
• "He licked my tears away after a bad breakup. Sticky, but effective"
• "When I was really sick, my kitty didn't leave my side for two weeks straight"
• "She always knows when my anxiety is up - she'll come flop on my chest until I calm down"
• "After my dad passed, my cat slept curled against me every night for months"
• "Whenever I cry, my cat fetches a toy and drops it at my feet like he's trying to cheer me up"
• "She starts purring the second she sees me come home from a rough day"
• "He wakes me up with nose boops when I oversleep - it's his way of keeping me on track"
