Cats are curious animals with a strong hunting instinct. They can also be very playful and energetic, even odd. 

Sometimes, they expel all that energy by darting from room to room, jumping up and down on the furniture, and attacking your socks with their murder mittens. The happycat318 Instagram account does a really good job of capturing their mischievous ways. After all, the internet and felines are a match made in heaven, so you know that some adorable cat memes are bound to happen. 

And so, happycat318 shares hilarious cat memes about our feline friends being hellbent on world domination, and judging from the content, it's only a matter of time before they get all the catnip they crave.

Feline behaviorist Lucy Hoile, who runs an awesome Facebook page dedicated to hilarious cat memes and informative feline-related content, said that whether we like it or not, cats probably think we're just as random as we make them out to be.

“Changes in human lifestyles that seem normal to us (such as moving into a different house or a partner moving in) can completely unsettle a cat,” Hoile told Bored Panda in an earlier interview.

“They appreciate a predictable routine and fit their activities in around us, often waking up with us in the morning or when we come home from work.”

Some say that the differences between humans and cats are what always keep us apart. They claim that since these animals evolved as solitary hunters with little need for reading social cues, especially those for behavior modification, they are hard to train.

While these words might be a true reflection of the adorable cat memes we see on this list, Hoile believes cats can be trained just as easily as dogs (or any other animal), with just a few extra considerations.

Reaaaaally? Cats are adorable - and this one has a lovely face. But if a furry eight legged monstrosity like this crept out from under my bed, I'd have a heart attack and die. Probably for my own protection.

Ah, yes. The Fuzzyfaced Assassin Spider. Should you encounter one of these, your only hope is to distract it with a laser pointer while the other members of your party escape. That will leave just you. I'm sorry, but the odds of your survival are not good

They may be evolving to look cute, but I expect them to be just as deadly as everything else Down Under.

Six legs, which means that it’s an insect, not a spider. Though it’s probably really two cats, which means it has eight legs, making it a spider. Or maybe an octopus!

Spiders are not my friends. This one, though, I could live with it.

Colouring doesn't match any Australian spiders. More like the colour of a pink kneed tarantula from Brazil.

“Training with rewards is most effective with cats, they will rarely do something for nothing! The tricky part is finding something motivating enough to use as the reward; it's got to be worth it!” she said.

“Smelly food usually works well e.g. small amounts of chicken or tuna. Training sessions should be short, as they can lose interest quickly and sessions should be split into small, easily achievable steps.”

Don’t run for public office. It will only get worse.

We attribute a lot of animals' shenanigans depicted in these hilarious cat memes to them getting the zoomies. But why do our companions experience them? The trigger may be excitement or a quick increase in stimulation.

In cats, a commonly reported trigger is using the litter tray. This may be explained by “poo-phoria”, a feeling of euphoria that follows defecation, which is possibly caused by large bowel movements stimulating the vagus nerve, resulting in positive feelings and a drop in heart rate and blood pressure.

Zoomies can, in fact, be characterized as play since the two behaviors share many of the same characteristics. This would make zoomies a load of fun.

So, if the zoomies occur as part of your pet's regular play routine, this indicates that your animal is happy and enjoying itself.

While experts don't yet know if zoomies are more likely to occur at certain times of the day or in some cat breeds compared with others, they do consider them a general indication of a high level of excitement—and likely a pretty good mood.

I wonder how many of these adorable cat memes from the happycat318 Instagram account are the result of those adorable zoomies?

It is not that kitten's job to try to make a soft can-opener smarter. You all willingly get into the WET! There's no hope for you.

Cheap wall-to-wall carpet in the bedroom and studio. Fancy (expensive) area rug in the living room a friend gave our soft can-opener. Of course we puke on the good rug. It's the only suitable background for the art that is our vomit.
