50 Of The Best Cat Posts That Are Impossible Not To Scroll Through (New Pics)
Archimedes' fourth law says that cats plus the Internet equals comedy squared. It's as simple as that. You capture a kitty -- it doesn't matter if it's skinny, thicc, fluffy or sleepy -- in a humorous scenario, upload the photo to social media, and voila, you're disrupting the status quo of the online world; even the 4chan trolls are taking a break from making up green texts to enjoy an innocent laugh.
Bored Panda has already compiled lists of the best cat posts, for example, here, here, and here, but people continue using the aforementioned equation to produce unforgettable kitty content, so we have to continue giving them the attention they deserve. From ruining their human's breakfast to building a tent, these felines are going viral whether you like it or not.

Interestingly, the good people at the Media School at Indiana University tried to investigate why do people love internet cats. Jessica Gall Myrick, an assistant professor of journalism, got nearly 7,000 people to complete her online survey.
"It is possible that viewing of online cat media improves mood, but this activity may also foster negative outcomes linked to using the Internet for procrastination," the researchers wrote.
When You Lie On Your Resume And Still Get The Job
"Some people may think watching online cat videos isn't a serious enough topic for academic research, but the fact is that it's one of the most popular uses of the Internet today," Myrick said. "If we want to better understand the effects the Internet may have on us as individuals and on society, then researchers can't ignore Internet cats anymore."
"We all have watched a cat video online, but there is really little empirical work done on why so many of us do this, or what effects it might have on us," Myrick added. "As a media researcher and online cat video viewer, I felt compelled to gather some data about this pop culture phenomenon."
Internet data show there were more than 2 million cat videos posted on YouTube in 2014, with almost 26 billion views. Believe it or not, cat videos had more views per video than any other category of YouTube content.
Myrick's study revealed that the most popular sites for viewing cat videos were Facebook, YouTube, Buzzfeed and I Can Has Cheezburger.
Among the possible effects Myrick hoped to explore: Does viewing cat videos online have the same kind of positive impact as pet therapy? And do some viewers actually feel worse after watching cat videos because they feel guilty for putting off tasks they need to tackle?
Of the participants in the study, about 36 percent described themselves as a "cat person," while about 60 percent said they liked both cats and dogs
Target Accquired
The participants in the study reported they were more energetic and felt more positive after watching cat-related online media than before.
Also, they had fewer negative emotions, such as anxiety, annoyance and sadness, after watching cat-related online media than before.
They said they often viewed Internet cats at work or during studying, and the pleasure they got from watching cat videos outweighed any guilt they felt about procrastinating.

Honestly, how could you ever be negative about this beautiful, sweet wee face?
All in all, the response to watching cat videos was largely positive.
"Even if they are watching cat videos on YouTube to procrastinate or while they should be working, the emotional pay-off may actually help people take on tough tasks afterward," Myrick explained.
The results also suggest that future work could explore how online cat videos might be used as a form of low-cost pet therapy, she said.

This Man Saved Our Dog. You Can See Our Cat Jumping Out The Window
So sorry for the damage to your home. So glad your animals are safe.
Wonder if 1) he even knew there was a cat living there, or 2) he did know but the cat was hiding or running from him. Either way, I am so happy Kitty found a way out—-Doggy probably never would have!
Usually, cats hide when there´s a fire. They just want to feel safe. :-(

I too am sorry for the loss of your home however I don't find this funny as the title reads.
I agree. No offense to anyone, and I’m so glad the pets are okay, but I don’t see anything funny. 😞

While this isn't a funny photo - it is an amazing photo! So many cats wouldn't risk jumping out the window and would've passed away while hiding. That this cat was so bad a$$ to make a running leap through a window with flames shooting out is incredible!
Glad the animals (and I am assuming human occupants if they were at home) escaped safely... devastating damage to their house :(
Valquerys This man was nice enough to risk himself to save the dog. Maybe he didn't see the cat when he went in. I am sure he would save the cat if he finds it. It's a fire, it is common sense to leave as soon as possible.
I don't know why I think this is funny, but the cat is like "f**k you, bitches, save the Dog will you!!"
Valquerys How do you not feel guilty about calling a hero an idiot?
That's a terrible thing to happen to you. I always said I would smash windows so my kitties could get out. Hope you found your furbaby
What a horrible thing to deal with....but, at least the puss got out...
Notice the cat didn't need rescuing? Got out all by itsownself!
I always worry about this. The fire alarm would go off in the apt building and my cat would stuff himself as far under a piece of furniture as possible to ensure I couldnt just grab him and get to safety. So invariably I would have to leave him there or risk getting treated for hearing problems due to the pitch of the alarm. But if there was a fire I always wondered if he would do that and force me to leave him.
WOW! That's awful! Did your kitty stick around? I know they may wander off when traumatized.
So he saved the dog but screw the cat? Jesus, that's awful is the cat ok? My aunt's cat died from smoke inhalation when they had a fire it was awful.
In this man's defense, during a fire, cats almost always hide while dogs will bark to get out. Cats nearly always run from strangers too. My husband is a firefighter and has had dogs leap into his arms but cats are afraid of them, or they never knew a cat was in the house because they were hiding.

I'm so sorry for the damage, hope everyone is safe. Also, does anyone else see a flaming image of a dog?
Dunno why this is so high in the votes. That cat must have been so scared. This isn't funny.
Not funny actually. So sorry for your loss; that looks bad - so glad kitty got out. Remember that animals also can suffer from PTSD from this kind of thing so extra TLC please.
Maybe he through the cat out the window before he grabbed the dog.or maybe the dog saved it by barking to get her a*s out here .idk ty neighbor
The cat would have been difficult to get to and so pleased it found the right escape window and hopefully was not burnt. Very graphic photo

You know that cat started the fire and is now making its quick getaway
i do hope the cat's okay, it could easily have fled in terror and made itself hard to find, on top of the trauma of being in the burning house for any period of time :(
I'm glad th they're both safe, but I wish the cat hadn't had to save itself! So sorry this happened to you.
Thankfully, the cat jumped out, I thought they would try, to hide from fire, happy your dog is safe, sad about the house fire !!!
Who is at the top of the siding, near the flames?? Superman gone small??!!
Glad the kitty was able to get out alone! Guess no one saw him or her.
Good to hear that your dear sweet black kitty and dear dog are okay!

thank goodness the cat jumped out. I'd go back for my furbabies too. I'm glad you hav good neighbors.
Thank Bast kitty got out! I hope he or she wasn’t burned or singed. That looks like a massive flame!
I'm a Fire Fighter...you will almost NEVER catch a cat in a house on fire and if you do, you better be dressed like we are, because they'll cut you up even if they're yours. I've been bitten by a few cats I've cornered & caught, right thru the heavy leather gloves. Also, you don't have time to be searching for a hiding cat, you'll be overcome by smoke and die, we have air, you don't!

I see these cat posts and tell myself don't start. Well, maybe just one or two. Yeah, right! It's like giving a pharmacy to an addict. I need an intervention.
MORE CATS. In fact, more non-humans! But definitely MORE CATS! (On BP. I'm already caring for about 8 cats, not counting the two who own me!)
I don't have an attack eyes picture of my late cat, but I do want to share my favourite pic of him with you all! Bouh-in-lu...7a9bd7.jpg 
Darn I wanted to add my cat that plays fetch holding his troll toy in his mouth. I have to buy them in bulk off amazon. He loves to chase them. But if he swipes at daddy going to pick it up he loses one. Plus he drops them in his water bowl all the time so ick.
I had a cat who played fetch, but only with a very specific ball. He chewed it to death and I couldn't find a replacement. I tried other ones with similar textures, but nope. He had standards.

A great post indeed, it seems to me, there are more, and more cat lovers, I also love dogs, however, cats are very entertaining, with my two there is always laughter !!!
Bawahahahaha these have already made my day and I just finished eating my breakfast. They are priceless. Thank you.
