I firmly believe the best way to turn a great day into a purrfect one is to spend some time with criminally cute cats. No offense to all you doggos out there (believe me, I love you all, too), but cats are awesome.
But don't worry if you don't have an adorable cat or two by your side at this very moment. Bored Panda created a list of wholesome pictures with kitties to keep you company. Share the ones you enjoy the most with your friends to brighten up their day, keep scrolling, and remember to upvote your favorite funny cats!

No matter what a cat does - whether it’s sitting in a box or stretching - it remains photogenic. Maybe it's the catnip, I don't know. The point is, they can't take a bad cat photo. Whether they're pooping in the litter box or munching on a mouse they just caught, their expression is spot-on. Some felines seem far too serious, others look cuter than Puss in Boots, while still others make us laugh with their playful antics. It’s no wonder that the Internet is filled to the brim with funny posts showing off the passion for silly cats.
Whether cats are mega chonkers or kitty cats that like to dance dance dance, I think we can agree that we adore them all equally and would gladly bring them back home to live with us.
In the United States, more households have puppers than mousers. However, more cats are kept as pets. Ruff-ly 70 million dogs and 75 million cats live in the US. Meanwhile, global feline population estimates vary wildly because of the millions and millions of feral cats that roam free. They have absolutely no intention of staying still long enough to take part in a survey. Overall, an estimated 220 to 600 million cats live on planet Earth.
The longer you look at their expressions, the deeper the photograph becomes.
A tabby’s life can seem like a never-ending holiday, what with the amount of time they spend napping between meals. Cats truly are notorious sleepy-heads. They snooze 12 to 16 hours every single day. Meanwhile, older cats sleep even more, sometimes for up to 20 hours a day! That’s bound to turn anyone green with envy.
That picture is so cute, I love how they're just sitting peacefully together
Here’s a fun fact for all you Harry Potter and Crookshanks fans out there: hairballs that cats regurgitate are called trichobezoars. Unfortunately, unlike in the Wizarding World universe, real-life bezoars don’t work as antidotes to poison and will make you ill. Don’t eat them.
Now there is some intense snuggling. I suspect it will be juuuust fine.
The one on the right looks like he already knows how he's going to run this household.
I went to visit one geriatric cat for a wellness check. The owner had been going through photo albums and someone pointed out Tigger in the background of a photo for the daughter's tenth birthday. They did some math and figured out that Tigger was at least 27.
Wow, that is amazing! I never heard of a car living that long— lot’s of love and care.

My boy is 16, about to be 17! If I could give a few years from my life to him, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

22 years - that's downright venerable for a cat. I had a fur baby who lived to be at least 18. She was an adult of unknown age when I found her as a stray.
My grandmother's old cat Skipper made it to 23 with AIDS shows What Love Can Do
Our Poppy made it past 20 (we never knew exactly how old she was when we got her) and I still wear her ID Circlet on my wrist as a remembrance <3
My Mimi will be 20 in October. She’s a stray that looks like a burmese.
Oh, you are so fortunate to have had all these years of love! I pray every day for the life of my sweet little girl kitty, who has had more serious health problems than my husband and I combined.
I had one qho kived to be 23! Best old girl. That was years ago and we still talk about her;
My cat Spooky (all black) even had a name change because she lived so long. She became GrannyCat when she was over 10 years old. Had to have her euthanized at 18. She was having strokes that were causing severe seizures and meds from the vet didn’t help. We couldn’t let her suffer. She was so special, she was MY first cat, I still miss her after 40 plus years.
A cat magazine that I used to buy once had an article on "The Oldest Cats In America". Tortoisehells, calicos, and Siamese markings predominated.
Calicos are tough little queens! My Scully was a long-haired Calico and she made it to 21 years old.
My baby girl went to the Rainbow Bridge a month before she turned 17. She and my son grew up together. I still miss her.
"Normally cats live 2 to 16 years." You really ARE lucky! And so is your cat with such a loving owner. :)

I grew up with a kitty who lived to 22. And my last kitty lived to 19-1/2. It is so wonderful when they are a part of your life for so many years!
Count your blessings. My dear old “Katt” crossed the bridge at 23. Will always mis hr.
Hooray! Here's to many more healthy years. I know someone whose cat is 25!
But, it's not the same cat. I've never seen color appear on a calico. The nose.
That's awesome! My very first cat was with me for 17 yrs and he died on my chest while I was laying on the couch watching tv. He always slept on my chest but that day...he never woke up. I hope your cat goes as peacefully as mine does...when it's his time xo <3
This is a... what is it? :D I mean it's super cute, but It looks like a Star Wars bear :D
"And this is how you annoy them by getting stuck in the window when they buy you chicken instead of slamon, son"
my cat does same to me very often. Each time is absolutely precious and makes me feel so loved.
Returned for being too playful?? I'm glad that little fella found a better home!
Take him home and keep him inside. And that goes for the cat as well.
This would be a fantastic tattoo! Wait until the cat poops, maybe he/she got some glitter in his/her mouth too :)

I pat a cat for the first time in over 20 years this weekend. Went away with the family to a farm and there was a cat that seemed to like our cabin and would sit outside all the time. He would also try and get inside the cabin but he isn’t allowed and I am allergic to cats. He was a gorgeous looking cat and had such a beautiful temperament. I was umming and ahhing on whether I should risk patting him. I couldn’t resist I gave him a little pat then ran to the kitchen to wash my hands thoroughly. I usually don’t see myself as a cat person for a few reasons and that is because of my allergies, and it also pisses me off when I see cats roaming, cats coming into my yard and dig up the garden to s**t, they kill wildlife and leave half eaten corpses around etc. Bit the fact is the cats are doing what comes naturally to them. The problem isn’t the cats, the problem is the owners. My judgement of cats themselves is misguided.
*Feral* cats in Australia are a huge problem. They have and are devastating wildlife. I have taken "stray" cats in for TNR. before that became a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_omFE7Etc <<<<

Animals deserve only kindness. So many wonderful stories of kindness.
Every one of these cats are adorable. No matter how smol, chonky, fluffy or weird. We don't deserve cats in this world, but we are blessed to have them <3

I was having a crappy day until I read this, now I feel a little better. I want a kitty now xx
I would love to get a cat, but unfortunately my sister is highly allergic to them, so if I got one, she couldn't come over to visit and since cat hair gets stuck to, like, everything, I couldn't go over to visit her, either. And as much as I love cats, I love my sister more

If at least 10% of them are true, I buy myself a beer. Spontaneous none, anyway. And the fact a being shows too much love can even be the sign of a previous trauma, including bad treatments.
