As you move through this world, you will meet some divas with such an insatiable zest for life that it's hard even to conceptualize what it's like to live inside their brains. This attitude can be cute…until it is annoying. There's a delicate balance between having a genuinely positive attitude and trying to force niceness into every situation despite its appropriateness. The latter option is passive aggression, the most toxic positivity man ever invented. If you don't take it too far, having a…

Cats are one of the most remarkable animals ever invented. I didn't grow up with a cat myself, but I was a massive fan of the most famous cat in the world, Garfield . Garfield is a cat with no job, and yet he hates Mondays. He loves lasagna, sleeping, and being a menace to everyone he meets. As I grow older, I'm becoming much more of a Garfield than I used to be. When I was a baby, I was Odie: a creature who couldn't speak but is just happy to be alive. When I was a kid, I was Nermal: young and…

If you asked any of my friends, they would tell you I am addicted to cats. And they might not be wrong. I'm constantly discussing Gorgeous and Grigio, my sweet, sweet furry pets. But the reality behind this infatuation might be less sweet than one would think. If you weren't aware, a little parasite called toxoplasmosis gondii causes toxoplasmosis, a disease that can affect nearly all living creatures, though it is most commonly found in cats. Despite that statistic, it's been documented in hum…

Those warm and fuzzy feelings

Unique pet names are such a joy. There's nothing worse than meeting an animal who has the most basic uncreative name you could think of. As a child, I went to the neighbor kids' house, thrilled to find out they had guinea pigs. However, my glee subsided when I found out the horrid truth. They named their white guinea pig Snowball, their brown guinea pig Hershey, and their black and white guinea pig Oreo. That is an abomination. How could you be so uncreative to name a pet the most obvious thing…

We're at that time of the week again. The bulk of the work week is over, the weekend is just on the horizon, and you're officially over the hump. Whether you're checking out the local honky tonk, sampling some grape and orange soda from an old okie smokey fountain, or going out and buying yourself a diamond-encrusted bolo tie, you never know what the magic of Thursday can bring. You know exactly what Natasha Lyonne meant when she said, "Thursday, what a concept." Do you know what the wonder and…

My cats are the center of my universe. Somehow I ended up adopting two of the characters that were skulking around my backyard. And there's no turning back. They own the place. They stink it up, they push my stuff off the table, and they also (thankfully) give me cuddles and keep me entertained. As a former “ dog person ,” it's pretty surprising that I'd end up being so obsessed with kitties. It probably has to do with toxoplasmosis. Anyway. Because cat owners are so dedicated to their pets, th…

What up, party people? It's the freakin' weekend, as someone who was cancelled would say. It's our hope that you're off doing something meaningful that will help you in the self-growth department. But guess what? It's totally cool if you're not. We get it. Life is tiring. You can't always be productive, even when it's in the name of self care . Sometimes the energy that you muster is just enough to change the channel on your television, or silently scroll through memes. If you're in the latter…

This viral kitty-turned-meme got its stardom several years ago—it's about time his doppelgänger responded!

Memes, baby

Just like humans, cats can take some very awkward pictures when they're not posing for the camera. @whoahannahjo asked Twitter to post the “most F-ed up” pictures of their cats, and the resulting thread is just too good not to share. We've rounded up some of our favorite weird, cursed, and clumsy kitties for all the cat-lovers out there.

Sometimes a good cat meme just hits different. Sure, they're pretty basic and often too dumb to comprehend, but cat memes are like perfect distillation of memes as a whole medium. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's okay, I know you're here for the memes. Whether you're an animal-lover or just an avid consumer of ridiculous memes, we've got just the collection of cute and funny cats for your enjoyment.
