Every cat pawrent knows: we may pay the rent, but it's their house. We're just the humble hooman assistants. Whether you chose your cat or the Cat Distribution System assigned them to you via mysterious cosmic forces, one thing is true - they're the main character now.

Cats are chaotic, dramatic, fluffy, and effortlessly iconic. They scream into the void at 3 AM, launch themselves off shelves in the name of gravity-defiance, and give Oscar-worthy performances every time they see an empty food bowl (even if it was just filled five minutes ago). They'll ignore your existence all day, until you try to work, then suddenly it's cuddle o'clock on your keyboard.

But that's the magic of cats. Their unpredictable nonsense, diva behavior, and undeniable charm make them the true stars of our homes. And of the internet. We're just here to provide the humor snacks, the total admiration, and every relatable cat pawrent experience from across the interwebs. Enjoy these cat memes and laugh with your fellow feline pawrents, and give your purrsonal cat icon an extra treat. They deserve it - just ask them.

As a certified cat purrson, we know that cat people can be a little crazy. We're not afraid to admit that we will go out of our way to pet stray cats on the street, especially if we're on vacation. We've also been known to take a few home without telling our partner beforehand. We even returned to a purrticular hotel in Greece because we loved that there were so many street cats that lived in the area. However, we would never steal someone's cat, nor would we ever do anything to harm another cat.

What the cat lover in this post did didn't necessarily hurt the cat, but it did leave them very dirty and hard to clean. A cute white cat escaped from their pawrents' house, and came back covered in lipstick stains. The idea is cute, but the execution is not. It's not easy to get lipstick off a white cat, and we all know how much cats like to be clean. Scroll down to read the cat community's comments below!

There's something really comforting in knowing you have a cat in your life. Isn't it so, fellow cat pawrents? When you have a live-in floofy emperor who dictates what you do, when you do it, and exactly how you do it - life becomes much easier.

Some people may ask themselves "Isn't it a crazy schedule to adhere to? Wouldn't it be too much to constantly go on a whim of someone else?", and we say to these people a loud, clear, meowing "No!". Living with a cat makes everything better. Why would we mind putting "Cute cuddling time" or "Snuggling meeting" into our calendars? Who would refuse that?

Having more cats in your life is never bad. On the contrary - it's the best thing a person can achieve. This is why being a Crazy Cat Lady is actually a compliment, never an insult. So, when you need more cats in your life? We usually turn to consuming cute cat memes. It's floofing funny, and brings more cat joy into your life.

Step right up, feline fam. Step right up and get ready to have your hearts warmed like the temperatures are rising outside. This week was a good week for the cat community, we took a lot of cats off the streets and out of the shelters and into their furrever homes. We write this same listicle (or something like it) every week, and yet, we never get tired of it. We will never get bored of seeing cats find their soul hoomans, and we hope you never will either. 

Every cat saved is a win in our book. From adopting a senior blind cat to a teeny tiny kitten, each good deed will come back to these pawrents tenfold. We wish all these new cat owners nothing but happiness, long lives, and minimal 3 AM zoomies. Or, at least, minimally damaging 3 AM zoomies. Scroll down to read through all of these sweet success stories of kitties finding their furrever homes. And get a tissue ready, you'll need it!

Kitten meows are the cutest sounds in all of nature. High-pitched, squeaky, and full of mischief, it's a sound that no cat lover could ever deny, because it's so simply pure that it tickles the happy senses of even the grumpiest of hoomans. That said, kittens may be mischievous little creatures—attacking our ankles and biting our wrists—but the helpless call of a baby cat can never be ignored. 

The heroic hooman in this next story had their eye on the weather the week they were called at home by the Cat Distribution System. After weeks of heat waves and cataclysmic storms, the street was distraught with chaos. Downed power lines, fallen tree branches, and a tidal wave of tumultuous debris left their yard looking more like a scene from Twister than a well-kept garden. But amidst the rubble and through the whipping winds of the hot storm, they heard the faint sounds of a kitten cry, drawing them in like a homing beacon. Alas, beneath the trash and the stormy debris, they found a lost kitten in desperate need of a helping paw.

Summer is in full swing now and that means prepare for heatwaves. They keep getting hotter and hotter every year and they're not going to stop heating up. That means it is our duty, humans with a conscience, to help innocent creatures in need who are not and do not know how to prepare for this kind of extreme weather. You can see an example of this here, with this woman coming to the aid of an itty bitty kitty. 

It was almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit where she lived and this very small cat was all on her own. The poor baby was looking rough, too, with her eyes almost swollen shut. When she first approached, the kitten was extra spicy, hissing and swatting. But the woman persisted!
