Short History of Cat and Human Relationships
Cats domesticated themselves thousands of years ago, but scientists aren’t quite sure exactly when - or who was responsible for the change. Domestic cats likely appeared between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, and some scientists believe that they essentially domesticated themselves. As agriculture developed in the Near East, the cats saw human towns as excellent food sources. Humans, on the other hand, saw that cats were helping them manage the rodents that were feeding on their grain storage.
Fast-forward that mutually beneficial relationship to today, and most cats simply keep us company at home and provide us with a wealth of relatable cat owner memes potential. The movement of cats indoors is also a relatively recent development. Until the discovery of kitty litter in 1947, most cats were left to their own devices outdoors, which might be why they’ve remained such adept hunters to this day. As the prevalence of rodents in modern homes also declined, cats that were put out of work as mousers became willing tenants in our homes. However, since their inclination to pounce at shadows did not go anywhere, it still gives us a lot of material for hilariously relatable cat memes!
There are significant overlaps between cats’ and dogs’ social skills when it comes to humans, but it tends to be the case that dogs are more social than cats. Dogs were social animals, to begin with, and they were often selectively bred to enhance these traits. As outdoor mousers, however, cats were valued for their predatory instincts. They’ve probably faced less pressure from humans to accentuate their most social traits, though most cat owners know cats still have plenty of love to spare.
That concludes our quick history lesson, leaving us with just enough time to scroll through the rest of these adorable, relatable cat memes!
This is not how it feels, but the reality! I am convinced that cats are magical creatures with the ability to change their size and shape at night.
But how do they manage to make their feet feel so pointy when they walk across your full bladder at 6 am?

I'm sorry. :( When I was still living at home, Kohl used to sleep on my legs every night. Since I've escaped from my family, she doesn't sleep with me any more, but at least I'm away from my family XD but, I know how sad it is when the kitties stop...

I totally get this! Every night I twist my body around two cats who get first dibs on the bed.
I wake up every morning thinking my legs are paralyzed. And then I realize it's just the cat laying on top of them and holding me down. She's not a big cat, but it feels like I've got a full size tiger in my bed! :)
When i was about 10, my parents and I went on holiday in the countryside with the car (Sweden). We stayed at a bed and breakfast. It was a hot summer and the windows were open at night to cool the room. They had a cat who climbed or jumped up and came in through the window from outside. He then got into bed and started pushing at my father with his paws. (My family slept in the same room and all had separate beds). Having been ”drilled” by our cat at home who would sometimes do this, he moved over to my mother and let the cat have his bed. The cat then moved to the other bed and started over. They finally got fed up and opened the door leading into the house and put the cat out. The cat went out through some other window or cat door, climbed inte the room and started pushing them out of their beds again. They put him out again. He came back. This went on for half the night. I think they had to close the windows in the end. The cat didn’t bother me, just them. 🤔
2 of them, they have a love hate relationship, refuse to share me, I either end up wedged between them or as soon as one jumps of the bed and I think I have some space and the other one jumps up and steals it.
After all the walks across my ribs and bladder, the swipes to my eyelids, the licking of my hair and forehead, the pounces on my feet, the kneading of whatever body part tickles his fancy, the clawing of my hands, and my knees tucked to my chin while I cling to the edge to keep from falling off the 2" of mattress I'm allowed, it's all so very worth it!!!❤️❤️❤️
Try it with two. I can't move. I know it's the law and everything but there should be some leeway without being punished if I need to move my legs during the night.
There's that bit where they wake you out of a sound sleep by kneading you with their claws out too.
No, because no matter how big the bed, the cat will lie on top of me, pinning me in place until my legs go numb!
I was going to say I love it when I see a hard looking man loving a tiny kittie, but then I thought is it politically incorrect to say that, I'm old and so confused about what I can say anymore and then I thought I don't care, I'm going to say it anyway.
Wyatt the Twitch is my stray rescue... jumpy little thing. Doesn't hang out or cuddle much, but if I act like I'm watching the birds through the window he'll bump up next to me and we can kick it together for a little while.
My pets are the only reason I haven't unalived myself on multiple occasions. Gotta take care of my furry responsibilities... in exchange, I get more love than I've ever received from any other family member. XD

The other day I was at Spencer's gifts (yes, they still exist, and they have great t-shirts and pins), and a customer had a cat on a leash. It was up on the counter receiving love when I walked in, the owner clearly having just paid for their stuff. I wandered around the store for maybe 15 minutes, and by the time I got up to the checkout they still hadn't made it out the door. 😂 Seriously one of the sweetest cats I've ever met.
Spencer's shirts are the best. (Especially the saracastic ones ^^)

I wish there was an "upvote all" button on BP because I would just click that for literally every cat post
I just got two stray cats claim me and my tent. Does anyone know how to make them go away. They keep coming in and making themselves home.
