It’s that time of the… arbitrary period of chronology?
Anyway, it’s cat time! Specifically, cat meme time. Cat memes have become somewhat of a lingua franca of the internet world and everyone benefits from it. Especially you, as there’s a new (not really, but it has a ring to it) kid in town and their name is CatsWeek.
Oh, and you better believe that the memes scratch the scroll itch the right way.

Michael Joseph Williams, I have told you before to leave that alone!!!
So, CatsWeek is an Instagram page that’s all about those cat memes. It has been around since early 2018 and has amassed a following of around 173,000 peeps. It’s also just a handful shy of 3,000 posts at this point.
This is yet another testament to the power of cats on the internet.
While the same can be said about a lot of pets—probably even the likes of snakes from the Florida everglades—but having a cat around the house is very good for you as a human being.
Sure, cats do have a notorious reputation of coming off as jerks, but one Australian study suggested that cat owners rate themselves psychologically better than those who don’t own pets.
When I started working from home my cat would climb between my back and the back of the chair. Then I would lean back and squish him a bit.
Specifically, cat owners claim that they feel more happy, more confident, and less nervous all the while experiencing better sleep, focus, and having determination to face problems.
And it can get even better if there are kids around as well as they too benefit from having a cat around the house.
Another survey of over 2,200 kids ages 11 to 15 suggests a higher quality of life among them because of having a strong bond with their feline friends. And the more attached they were, the more they felt fit, energetic, and attentive, all the while feeling less sad and lonely. Positivity all around, in other words.
Heck, cat memes have the power to make us smile—and in turn that means feeling less anxiety, annoyance, sadness and, ultimately, stress.
And that’s actually doing something. Just having a cat around the house means lower resting heart rate and blood pressure all the while feeling more challenged than threatened by harder tasks and making fewer errors that way.
So, why are cats so calming? Despite their demeanor, they won’t really judge us for our failures or become distressed over it. And it’s this attitude that helps us feel the same way.
What is even better is that having a bond with a cat actually translates into having better relationships with humans too.
Across several studies, it has been determined that cat owners are comparatively more socially sensitive, more trusting and like other people more than those who don’t have pets.
And when someone—animal or human—makes us feel good, it fosters kindness and generosity towards others. So, yeah, cuddles with cats have become more awesome now.
And all of this culminates in better health. Remember how cat owners are generally calmer than those without pets? Well, that means less risk of heart disease. Oh, wait, there’s more. Even bringing home a cat for the first time—like after adopting, wink-wink—people reported experiencing less headaches, back pains and colds.
Now, sure, having a cat is a huge responsibility: they require space, quality attention, money (on vet visits, food and toys… what did you think?), among many other things, so the next step towards adopting has to be a responsible one.
But once you're over that hill, the journey towards a better life begins. Both for you and your feline friend.
Is there possibly a lady of the house we could converse with your precious majesties?
If you need more convincing that cats are within your best interests, you’re welcome. There’s at least 50 reasons there.
But if that’s enough cat internet for you today, then why not write something in the comment section below.
"Well, I couldn't figure out a better way for you to get the message. Luckily, fortune cookies are infallible to you hoomins."
Ours would pee in our suitcase if we left it open and unattended. He didn't like being left at home.
Mmmm one more bite (after 4th bite) so yummy wanna trade heehee j/k
Cat hair is a condiment, a fashion accessory, and a decorating theme.
That kitty is mad because he hasn't figured out how to run without ringing that huge bell yet.
Aww, this looks like my kitty, I love it when she wraps her tail around herself.😍
I think that person is laying on another cat. Are those paws sticking out from under his arm?
Those two on her head look like just heads. And the one on her shoulder on the left looks possessed.
My cat who just turned 2 a week ago today, looked like baby Yoda for the first time, recently. I stupidly decided to inhale the leftover helium in a balloon I was throwing away. I started talking in the munchkin like voice that helium gives you and this freaked the f out of my cat. Her ears went sideways like baby Yoda and she begin to hiss at me, which she has never done before. Now I do have trauma from being attacked by a cat when I was kid, so this legit made me go into a little panic attack. I called my neighbor because I was freaking out and the more I spoke the effects from the helium wore off and she began to rub against my legs as I was pacing back and forth. I still ignored her and would not make eye contact. I left for 1-2 hours and when I came back she acted like nothing happened. I was still weary of her but all good now and I've definitely learned my lesson, will never touch helium again.
No. We had a cat who would do that sometimes, but he stopped when we got a kitten to humor him. Yes, there are some cats who are a*holes but the majority I met were really nice. Met only one cat which was to be avoided
That is NOT what a paw ooks like under x ray. Check this: https://vetmed.illinois.edu/imaging_anatomy/feline/forelimb/carpus_foot/ex02/car-ft-02-f%20.html
