Cats are definitely up to something. How can something so small and cute be so goddamn annoying and devious all at the same time? It goes against nature. Yep, they're definitely hiding something alright. But while we try to figure out what, please enjoy these memes that are dedicated to our furry little overlords.

In honor of this beautiful Caturday, here are 14 pics of cats high AF on that sweet, sweet 'nip.

Cats are alright, and birds are cool too, but we think that dogs win the award for the best type of pet. The world can never have too many dogs, and that's why we feel that it's necessary to bring you these dog memes. It's for your own personal benefit that you scroll down.

Some breeds of dogs are known for being quite smart, and then others...not so much. These dogs might not be all that smart, but at least they're adorable...? We just hope their humans helped them out of these sticky situations!

This is what happens when you rely on dad to take the cat to the groomer - he comes back with an incredibly stupid haircut. Needless to say, mom was NOT impressed. But hey, at least she got a novelty Instagram account out of it? We think the kids these days call that "clout."

We're loving these comics created by Lucas Turnbloom, aptly named "How to Cat." Turnbloom very accurately illustrates the nonsensical way that cats think, from getting the zoomies at 3 AM to refusing to eat the perfectly good food right in front of them. We'll probably never fully understand those little furry devils, but at least these comics are amusing for all the cat parents out there!

We feel a little bit bad for laughing at these pics because these doggos are obviously pretty nervous about going to the vet, but look at 'em...they're just so freaking cute! And think of it this way: in case you hate taking your dog to the vet: a little bit of nervousness on their part is definitely worth the care your furry pal is getting in the long term!

We've been fans of Martin Rosner's Hot Paper Comics since we first stumbled upon them on Reddit. While we love all of his work, this series that reverses the roles of dogs and humans is our favorite yet. Despite the canine-focus, this is a comic that anyone will appreciate. Well, maybe until the last, tearjerker of a panel. Goddamn.

Let's face it, pets are the best kind of children. Sure you might have to deal with your cat getting the zoomies at 3 am, or your dog going crazy when you go to the bathroom for three minutes, but look at it this way: no temper tantrums over totally mundane things, and perhaps best of all - pets can't talk back to you!

Over the past week Twitter has been blowing up with a very specific meme, one featuring one photo of a crying woman, and another of Ms. Juicy from Little Women: Atlanta staring blankly, looking thoroughly unimpressed. While completely unrelated, the photos are being used to illustrate the experience of explaining something passionately to your very uninterested (or unwavering) mother, or in some cases, a pet. We're just upset that we had to relive the experience of begging for stuff from the Scholastic book fair. 

Twitter user Nic pointed out the completely absurd names given to the adoptable cats at Austin Pets Alive, an animal shelter located in Austin, Texas. Whoever's job it is to name foster kittens probably had a grand ol' time with this little project. Either that or they give absolutely zero f*cks.

And if you're in the area and interested in adopting a cat, check out their website! 

They also are definitely going to have an issue getting some of these adopted. Not that cats necessarily respond to their name being called, or at all. Still, the animals deserve at least a chance for families to love them. Though this is not the only instance of shelter cats with terrible names. 

Perhaps the best part of having a dog is their unconditional love for you. Having a bad day? Your furry doofus will be right there to comfort you, and you can't be in a bad mood when you're cuddling a dog. It's just not possible. So here are some dog memes that'll lighten your day right up!

If you couldn't tell already, we love us some good old-fashioned cat memes. They're so freaking stupid, but they always manage to make us laugh hysterically. It's cheap comedic effect, and we love 'em for that. So without further ado, paws whatever you're doing and enjoy today's dose of dumb cat memes!

We're incredibly heartbroken to announce that Grumpy Cat, the internet's favorite celebrity cat, has passed away at the age of seven. Her family tweeted the tear-jerking news this morning, which has prompted countless memes and reactions from people paying their respects. 

We've brought you some of our favorite Grumpy Cat moments in honor of our forever-favorite internet sensation. Rest in peace.
