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."
It Sees Me
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.

A Bunch Of Fools
Am I the only one to want to put a magnet on the paper lizard and go to the other side of the wall to move it to make the cats chase it???
We often get real lizards or geckos in our home......and all of our cats immediately zero in on them. And will go back to that same space day after day just in case they return!
Fascination rules.. Ok who was the first to leap up the wall and dislodge it?
It's all fun and games until they bring the REAL lizards in the house!! We have an enclosed porch, so we installed a storm door with a pet door so the kitties could get some fresh air. The porch is open enough for mice and the occasional bird (I had to rescue a bird a couple weeks ago - he got in a couldn't get out!) We also have skinks - cute little iridescent blue lizards. A couple inches long at the most. We've been gifted four or five of those in the last three years...
If I did this, one of my babies, would go wild, actually, try to climb the wall !!!
😂 my husband makes the floor for high and low spots. My kitten would pounce on the marks.
We get the real gecko here, creepy little ones, and our dog HATES them and looks a lot like these kitties do when he wants to eat one!
At least they're inside, unable to kill the real thing. Thank you..
I used to have life sized, printed cat, cut out standing face side in, standing on the ledge of one of the windows of my pre-press studio. Bud, the always welcome golden lab, come in with his owner one day. As we were going over what he would need for printer, Bud started growling and moving cautiously towards the cat. Mellow Bud, the poster pothead dog, started barking at that cardboard cat was trippin'. He didn't want to come in when the owner came back to pick up his job. So I went out to the car and to give him a rub. His tail thumped, raised his head about two inches off his bed, opened his eyes and the plunked down on the bed with tail still wagging. My favorite and most mellow customer ever.

I lived in Orlando for a time with 8 cats. I had a daily lizard catch-and-release program. They brought them in and played with 'em until their tails fell off, then if they were lucky I got them outside only to be hunted again.
I keep saying I'm going to get some bug stickers for my cat so I can do this, and I keep forgetting
Humans still watching? Yes. Just keep staring and see how many post we get.

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.
Load More Replies...I was mesmerized by all of these balls of cuteness! Literally had to scroll all the way down the list because of it!
This lady lives on the street in Buenos Aires. She doesn't ask for anything unless it is for her beloved cat. I took the picture because she was asleep and didn't show her face IMG_202001...3ec9ce.jpg
Love these, thank you for posting! Smiling at these is quite literally all that’s keeping me sane right now.
I love cat posts. Sorry Krazy Kanuck that you've lost your lovey monster.
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.
Great pics.. Loved the one with the cat front paw out on the stairs by the Eifel Tower.
