Memes and cats are the real fuel of the internet. Think of what a bland place it’d be if we didn’t get a daily fix of hilarious feline pics gift-wrapped in mysterious cat logic. Think of how many memes wouldn’t have even been born without these pictures. Grumpy Cat, Cat Jam, Smudge the Cat, Coughing Cat… anyone?!
So when combining these two of people’s favorite things, you get the most powerful cattitude memes that explain all that words cannot explain. Like all those weird, goofy, and plain ‘seriously?!’ feline behaviors.
Why do cats eat like they've got 2 secs to finish the bowl, only to puke in the middle of the carpet a minute later? And how do they decide that wreaking havoc on the house at 3 am is an excellent idea? Those cucumbers, what’s up with them?
We may never find the answers, but with the help of cat-approved meme language, we at least can get a glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of felines. It’s where everything you think you know is wrong, and everything you know to be wrong is also wrong. Power cat memes compiled by Bored Panda, the stage is yours.

It’s no secret that cats sometimes, or rather most often, do things that make no sense to humans. To help to decipher the internet-famous and genuinely odd feline behavior, Bored Panda reached out to Molly DeVoss, a certified feline training and behavior specialist who runs Cat Behavior Solutions agency.
Molly said that each cat’s motivation to act weird is a very individual thing. “Some cats do silly things to get our attention; we run and get our cameras, cooing and paying attention to them.” This attention that we shower our felines with is precisely what reinforces their seemingly odd behavior.
Meanwhile, “other cats are bored and are trying to find outlets for pent-up energy,” Molly said. Being both prey and predator animals, most cats’ instincts are still pretty powerful. As your house is their new jungle, you see the behavior that makes them jumpy, goofy, silly, yet absolutely adorable.
In fact, this precise feature that we don’t really know what to expect from them is what makes our felines perfect material for the internet. “Whatever the motivation for the strange behaviors, it’s always good to pay attention to your cat and tell it how much you appreciate the laugh,” Molly concluded.
Yeah, that would be me. My husband too, though he’ll never admit it. It’s why we now have four cats and a dog—-all rescues, out of a barn, off the street, dumped in our yard or the neighbor’s (when she was out of town for an extended period and my husband was doing a regular check on her house for her). Yeah. Big softies.
I heard this one: Q: Is it bad luck to have a cat cross your path? A: Depends if you are a man or mouse.

Someone: Black cats are bad luck, not to mention cats in general are just plain assholes. Me, who has four cats, half of them all black: I would like to challenge that theory...
My black cats disagree. They're very lucky. They're lucky I let them live with me, especially when they wipe their butts on the hardwood floors when a poop gets stuck to their fur.

Silly superstitions... black cats aren't real bad luck... its any cat that is bad luck. but their so cute how can one stay away
Black cats are associated with luck good and bad (for example my cat is usually lucky cuz you get snuggled but sometimes unlucky cuz she pees on random things)
Not in the UK they’re not. A cat crossing your path is really a witch transformed into his/her familiar. Given that they are crossing your path they are not going in your direction and hence are off to do witchcraft upon someone else
TOO.. CUTEEEEE... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black cats are only bad luck if you trip over one while walking under a ladder on the thirteenth hour of the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month!
I have had three black cats, and each one was / is a sweetheart
Black cascade awesome, I have one black and one black with white.
I will never live long enough to understand whatever made up logic had to happen for this to be a thing.

Black cats are bad luck only if they cross the street and a car comes...

Ruler: "Paint me a powerful warrior, taming a fearsome lion in scale armour!" Artist: "Say no more, my lord!"
I do that all the time, not because of spiders but because she meows non stop as she wants to sniff the ceiling for some reason
The really impressive part is that he did it with a hammer and chisel.
