50 Cat Pics From The Online Group Dedicated To Raising People’s Spirits One Kitty At A Time
Having a cat is magical. Whether they're being cute, acting crazy, or presenting themselves in ways perfect for memes, the day of a cat owner is never dull. If you're not currently a cat owner, we invite you to live vicariously through us as we present you this magnificent compilation of cats being funny.
The pictures, courtesy of the group I Love Meow, highlights the reasons why the internet is so enamored with felines: they're cute, they're funny, and they're unpredictable. Even if you're not a cat person, you'll probably have a chuckle or two at these cats' shenanigans.

"Too playful"? Seriously? WTF? I'm glad she found a home that appreciates her "excessive" playfulness.
Too playful is the same as saying they returned her for being g too happy
Load More Replies...I know we're all indignant that she got returned for being too playful but it's unclear what means. Is the cat running around all night long, keeping people up? Some people can't deal with that. Maybe you want more of a chill lap cat, which she's not? Your personality should probably match your pets. Ella is better off with people who enjoy her for how she is rather than people being annoyed with her thus making her life less enjoyable.
I have a cat that is the exact opposite. Her playfulness is more like, "Okay, now it's time for you to move that little red dot around and around the room while I just sit here and watch you." LOL. Cats are INDIVIDUALS and have a wide range of personality traits. Kinda like, you know, their humans.
EXACTLY. Ella would be miserable with people who want a more chill cat. Returning her worked out, thankfully, but is probably best for her well being and her former family's. People are making this out as a bad thing and it turned out not to be. As you said, pets have personalities and in the same way you wouldn't get into a relationship with someone you don't get along with, why would anyone think that's different with animals?

Six weeks after adopting two six months old brothers, Eddie, my black little devil, would get the 2am skrungees. He'd run around the bedroom and ended up breaking every lamb. I was so mad , I started throwing things at him. Of course I never did hit. He knew I was mad at him. Lying on my back back in bed, I had my eyes closed, trying to calm down, thinking maybe he's more than I can handle. The next thing I know, these little wet lips were kissing me right on mine. He had snuck up to me, and it was his way of saying I'm sorry. I mean how can you be mad after that!

"Look at me! I'm a mere cat! I learned to do this watching wildlife documentaries!"
I'm pretty sure many pets learn this neighborhood watch technique at Mother-in-law School.
Something like this just happened to me last night. I glanced out my window and there was a cat sitting on top of a fence post, head cocked a bit, watching me. Yes, I felt judged. 😳 The other thing is, I've lived here for 10 years and I've never seen that cat or any others in that particular spot._______ However, plenty of squirrels🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️ use that fence as a highway between the black walnut trees across the street and their nest in the tree in the neighbor's backyard. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pets are great companions to many people, and we tend to anthropomorphize them to the point that we treat them like humans. 84% of owners, for example, say they speak to their pets regularly. We probably don't expect an answer, but we still think they can understand us as if they knew our language.
The reality is a little bit different. Pets, such as dogs and cats, don't exactly speak our language, but they do understand and respond to the way we vocalize, gesture, and what expressions we make. We, in turn, don't understand meowing and barking, but we do read our pets' body language: the movement of their tails, and their expressions.
Funny how older cats will adopt a new kitty, or puppy, and nuture them like its their own.
To be serious, this idea of making a prisoner responsible for an animal's well being works and has a positive outcome for all concerned. They both look happy. Kudos to whoever runs this system.
@JL have you ever seen the abandoned animals in an overcrowded shelter?
Load More Replies...Punishment has never melted a cold heart, but many animals have. I see nothing wrong with this program. You've given some people with little hope, something to look forward to and an animal an attentive and caring person. A Win-Win.
The only BS thing about this in the US is inmates are barely given adequate housing and food. Are they expected to provide for the cat, or does the Gov?
Downvotes for wanting the US Government to take care of inmates and the pets in their prison programs?? Trumpers are strong on this thread!

Fun Fact: These 5 kittens could all have different fathers. A female cat can get pregnant if they mate with different males during the same reproductive cycle; this phenomenon is known as superfecundation

Trying to decide which big cat dad is descended from. I see tiger stripes, jaguar print... and possibly a hint of cheetah.
It's a Bengal - descended in part from the Asian Leopard Cat.

A study in 2014 set out to explore how cats communicate with their owners. They found that verbal cues are enough to elicit a response. When a person (and not necessarily the owner) would call the cat, they would tilt their heads and pivot their ears while looking at them. Sadly, they wouldn't say "Meow" back.
But they do understand our facial expressions. A 2015 study from researchers at the University of Milan proved that cats react more affectionately to owners when they smile. They would purr and rub against them. When the owners in the study would frown, their cats would avoid them.
Lola used to bring me soft toys she'd stolen from random neighbours. Brought a hot roast chicken home once. Bad cat but I loved her very much.
my old girl would purr all over me. with her comfort only loud purr, normally you would have to touch her to know she was purring. I miss her
Cats are very empathetic and know when their hooman isn't feeling well. And they will lie by you and worry until you are feeling better.
I think they can be comfy In ANY position. They're like little "Gumby and Pokies"....if anyone is old enough to remember them. LOL

Always a good idea to keep one's skeleton safe if you don't want to be a blob.
The man wasn't a skeleton when the cat first jumped on. But the cat wouldn't move, and the man didn't want to disturb him. And anybody who's had a cat in their lap knows exactly what I'm talking about.
But do cats have a sense of humor? When they do the silly things they do, is it random or because they want to make us laugh? Experts say that unlike dogs, cats think that humans are cats, too. While dogs probably understand that we're a different species even though dogs and humans are part of a pack, cats think of us as big, clumsy cats.
YES ,MOST DEFINITELY,the cat orchestrated it all, it was all the cats idea

Cat behaviorist John Bradshaw explains to National Geographic that cats essentially treat us like they would other cats. "Putting their tails up in the air, rubbing around our legs, and sitting beside us and grooming us are exactly what cats do to each other." However, he says that they probably perceive us as clumsy; not many cats trip over other cats.
I think he is looking at his single brain cell flying away to another orange cat...
Unfortunately, researchers haven't found any evidence yet that cats do naughty things to amuse us. Experts claim that it's more of an attempt to get attention than something they do to laugh at us. Cats themselves don't laugh, although they do make other sounds that mean they're happy and amused.

A smiling cat means something very different than a smiling person. Some cats seem like they're smiling when they're relaxed and calm with a closed mouth. However, sometimes a cat's face might contort into something like a smile if they're in pain or stressed, too. So, it's better to look for other signs of happiness in your cat than a smile.
After seeing this cat, I'm going to stop making fun of those medieval paintings where it looked like the artist didn't know how to draw a cats face 😬
Mom! I'm hungry!! I don't remember eating, so I'm pretty sure I didn't.
Mine tried that as a kitten. He scalded his nosey before I caught him. Weirdo.
Load More Replies...Strays make wonderful pets! The best four-legged master I ever had was Ragamuffin, who came right off the street.
What are some of those signs? Well, many cat owners know the classic tell-tale signs of a happy cat: purring, rubbing against a human's legs and feet, kneading, meowing, or asking for attention with a touch of their paw. You might spot a smile on your cat's face during all these activities, but even if they don't, it doesn't mean they're not happy.
Imagine if catnip worked the same on people. World peace would be achieved in record time. (Picturing tRump and Putin rolling in catnip nekked.. kind of a gross mental image but I'm willing to live with it if it meant they became better people for having done it.. or maybe they just need a cat/pet)
Jerry let Tom chase him so the human assumed he was doing his job and wouldn't be left homeless.

So, I'll run around a lot and make it look like there's a bunch of mice and you start running around. Then, I'll sleep all day, like you've killed all the mice or ran them off. They'll reward you big time. In a few weeks, when the humans start slacking off, we'll do it again! This is Job Security!
Our cat I think was never bothered with mice. I think she thought micing was beneath her. Don't get me wrong she was a highly skilled hunter killer. When she did kill a mouse in the house. She did not play with it, give it as a present nor tear it up. You came down in the morning to find a dead mouse in the middle of floor. Just dead. No marks on it. The cat asleep on the kitchen table bench. She had probably sat on the table middle of the night watching the mouse then just dropped on it from on high. It was like she was sending a warning to the other mice that our house was a no go area. It worked. I think we only had one other mouse in her life span and that met a similar fate.
"Please! Please! Sir, I beg for your mercy! i'll tell you where the catnip is, just please! spare me!"
The look I give when the woman I work with talks to me so I don't have to keep saying "huh?" Because I can't hear her!
Dog people like to accuse cats of being too cold and emotionless, but their disposition is actually the result of evolution. Our mini panthers' feline cousins, for example, don't show emotion as a way to protect themselves. To them, showing emotion is a sign of weakness, and one moment off guard could cost them their lives.
Sometimes ya got to pee, but ya just can't quite get yourself out of bed.
Do you even understand what Satire Means? More like Satanic and I'm not laughing.
Looks like Kitty already ate a few treats and is trying to use the mouse to pay.

So, it's not entirely clear if cats have a sense of humor or not. Scientists say that cats don't understand cause and effect. So, if they do something that makes us laugh, they're not able to understand what it was that we found so humorous. However, some experts believe that they may have a sense of humor – we just haven't found a way to prove it yet.
I actually can't be around this many cute kittens because I will try to adopt them all.
That is why I do not visit my local shelter for fundraising events (they sell waffles once a month)....

Get another cat and see if you can set up a "Lady and the Tramp" type scene.
The thing is do you tell her after you shoo it away? Or wait till you show her the picture after she has eatten

One of my cats used to be my wingman when I brought a girl home. He'd rub up against her and play with her hair. By the time he finished, we were both ready!
My Eddie would act as my wingman whenever I had a girl over. He would rub himself all over her, purring and snuggling. When he was done, she was all warmed up for me. But if he hissed at her, that was the signal that he didn't approve of her. Cats are great at choosing the right person to spend the night with.
Mine use the metal wire bread basket. I finally caved in and put a little towel in it and they switch off on ownership.
A friend of my mom's gave her a handmade basket one year as a gift. The cat claimed it almost immediately.
my cat did that mostly the last year of her life. she had to be near me and I loved every moment

I like the cat. But I absoluty dislike that so many people use the term "Schrödinger's whatever" apparently without understanding this experiment properly. But I really like the cat.
Oh, relax, FFS. An additional meaning has been assigned to it. Language evolves and no one is saying this is literally Schrodinger's thought experiment.

Selfish longing! Wantng what it can't have. Once it gets it it will stare in like you punished it,
Since you are ignoring the neighbors' activities, the cat is taking on the duty.
Give me a cup of coffee and a joint, with appropriate music playing, and I'll be sitting right next to her.
Ahhh, morning meditation. Wish I could feel as calm and relaxed as this kitty.
That's gotta be photoshop and also that cat is about to ask for your soul

When your package arrives, but they didn't pack it properly, and the contents are shaken up.
What do you want the human to do in this instance? Run and grab a ladder and attempt to bring the cat down? They'll probably only spook the cat in that situation (rattling ladder/stepstool, slammed against the wall for stability, etc.) If the cat cannot get herself back to the place where her back paws are, then yes, getting a ladder/stepstool might be warranted. But it is unlikely to be more than 8 or so feet to the ground, and letting the cat jump on her own rather than scare her into falling is a much better plan.
