As we go through the week, feline fam, attention span decreases. Maybe it's the lack of sleep building up, or our willingness to work getting lower as we get closer to the weekend, but already from Tuesday, we're feeling the need to take a small giggle break to get through the day. Some weeks, we can make it until Wednesday, but usually we're already searching for some funny feline memes to fix up our mewds and help us stay pawsitive. We imagine it will continue this way until our office gives us the napping room we've been asking for.

Since our request to have a tiny sleep during the day has been continuously denied, we're going to fall back on our trusty cat memes to fill our days with fun and giggles. Today we're taking you through a feline festival of memes (no tickets required) so you can actually enjoy your Tuesday - what a concept! So get your scrolling fingers warmed up because these memes are silly and scrumptious. Enjoy!

Some people just have it backwards, feline fam. In our opinion, animal shelters should be doing everything they can to get animals out of the shelter and into homes. We understand that certain guidelines and rules are necessary, but sometimes, they take it way too far. Like this story of a man rescuing a puppy, but the shelter refused to take it in because he found it technically outside of the city limits. Or this other time, where a manager of the animal rescue demanded that the new pawrents add her on Facebook so she could check up on them after they adopted the doggo.

In today's case, the animal shelter found the purrfect reason (we're being sarcastic) for stopping this future feline father from adopting his cat - because he loves Legos. Even though the Legos are locked up in display cases, the shelter deemed his house too much of a hazard for a new feline friend. Clearly, they haven't seen the new Lego set of tuxedo cats. Read through the whole thing below!

We did not realize that this was still something that needed to be said but: declawing cats is bad. It's cruel and awful and will have negative effects on the cat's life until the end of its life. And anyone who wants to declaw a cat… should first be sat down and have it explained to them properly. Once they understand what declawing actually means, if they still want to do it to their cat, then they do not deserve to have a cat.

And whoever had this beautiful 10-year-old cat beforehand certainly did not deserve her. The poor cat was declawed in all four paws and now has a myriad of health issues, at least some of which are probably related to the declawing. The sweet kitty was found wandering in a middle school, sick, abandoned, in pain. And maybe it's sad that she was all alone in that middle school for god knows how long, but at least the family who has her now is one that actually deserves her.

One of our biggest fears ever, as cat owners who live in an apartment, is our cat falling off our balcony. Before moving into our apartment, we thought about this exact thing endlessly, looking for solutions, looking at cat nets, at anything that might prevent this from happening. Because we knew what it would mean if we didn't do something about it and our cat fell.

At best, our cats would end up at a neighbor's. Which is thankfully what happened here. But the most unexpected part of this story to us is the at owner's reaction. Instead of rushing to get her lost cat back the moment she realized where it was, she seemed like she didn't care. This cat owner claims to love her cat but certainly doesn't act like it. You would be rushing to hug your kitty as soon as you found out who had it if you did, not asking the person who found your cat to just drop it off in front of your apartment.

One of our mottos here at ICHC is: adopt, don't shop. Because we truly believe that adopting a cat from a shelter is a pure experience that you simply do not quite get when you buy an expensive cat. Sure, the expensive cat might have an interesting fur pattern or some other trait, but at the end of the day, all cats are equal in the love that they are capable of giving you, whether they cost you $1000 or… one dollar and twenty-five cents.

$1.25 - that is how much this kitty cost this person. Technically, they bought this cat, but we think that this time, the feeling they have is going to be exactly the one that we are talking about, especially now that we know that this senior kitty was abandoned by its old owners. The cat deserved a second chance at life, and we know it is going to get the best retirement years in its new home.

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

The UK Government is facing a massive backlash from their own MP's about the, to say the least "controversial" bill on Welfare reform.

Not to be outdone, the US government is lurching ahead with trying to push through the hideously mis-named "One Big Beautiful Bill"

The annual Glastonbury Festival took place in the UK, featuring a lot of people I had never heard of amongst the names I think I was supposed to recognise (but I am old and these young whippersnappers like... errrr.... Pulp... and Robert Plant are mere Johnny Come-latelys). Though Peter Capaldi returned to his musical roots and proved his status as "coolest guy ever", by performing live with Franz Ferdinand.

It's also insanely hot in the UK these past few days at consistently over 30C, though I understand the US is worse! So I'm going to go and get a cold drink and suggest you all do the same!

It has been confirmed that industry giant Jim Shooter has died, at the age of 73, from esophageal cancer.

A comic fan since childhood, he proved this more than most ever could, by becoming a professional writer at age 15, when his first story for the Legion of Super-Heroes was published in 1966, where he actually managed to make teenagers sound rather more like teenagers than previous writers, and created the Fatal Five (as one commenter put it in the past "Two-Face as a cyborg, a 50 foot tall monster, an executioner, a creepy guy with a destructive hand and a woman accompanied by a two foot cosmic eyeball... ONLY a 15 year old could have come up with that)

Literally entire books have been written about his tenure at Marvel from 1976 to 1987, as he rose to the position of Editor-in-Chief by 1978.

He was dynamic, disciplined and ruthless, a polarizing figure at the best of times, with many staff fiercly loyal to him as he did have his creators backs, but also many chafing under the rules he insisted on as editor, infamously insisting that Phoenix had to die at the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga (due to her having killed billions of beings) rather than being reset to an amnesiac Jean Grey as Claremont and Byrne originally planned.

He oversaw the expansion of many titles, a more interlinked Marvel Universe and moved Marvel into new areas including Graphic Novels, and more commercial tie-ins like licensed comics: Star Wars being the best known, as well as many toy-related cross marketed titles some of which transcended their apparent limitations to be genuine classics: Micronauts and ROM being two. An approach culminating in of course, Secret Wars (and Secret Wars II).

His outright refusal to include any overt LGBTQIA+ characters or representation in comics through the 80's is something which should not be ignored or forgotten, regardless of how clever creators could be with subtext and inference. It would be inexcusable to not note this on this comunity more than most.

His passing will be marked by much discussion from those better versed in such things, so we will mark it by offering our sincerest condolences to his family and friends on their loss.
