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.

My girl had 5 kittens this summer (all re-homed and vaccinated), but I wish I had taken a picture of them ALL watching me when I took a dump! All in a half circle, staring at me like I was the second coming, or something!

One of my cats is the designated pee monitor. The other one stares at invisible stuff.

Not watch, escort. You might lose your way. After I safely reach the bathroom, the cat sits facing away from me to give me privacy.

My cats BOTH go simultaneously with me to the toilet (they in theirs). Every single time.

Every single time I go use the bathroom, my cat, Miss Purrdy, follows me in there just to jump onto my lap. Every. Single. Time. It's our routine.

Having a cat is like having a two year old! The thought of having any private bathroom time is long gone

(Continued from previous post due to the damn send button on this phone). I heard her say" Hey. Our first pee in our new home should be together. We're going to be okay. I'm sorry about your dad." I went to bed, she climbed up and head butted me and we both went to sleep as she found a place on my chest.

I'll try this again. Bottom line. The first night in my apartment, my cat, who I had never seen use a litter box, even when it was raining outside. I set it up between the two sinks unpacked a few more boxes. I had just started to pee when she came running in the bathroom,, jumped in her littebox, started to pee and looked me in the eyes and n

After my dad died, I moved into an apartment, worried about how she'd adjust to being stuck indoors most of the time. I broke down in tears buying her litter box, shrinking her great outdoors into a great outdoors felt awful shrinking her

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.

My cats will puke anywhere. Every surface has an equal opportunity of being hurled upon.

It's the opposite with me. I'm awake at 3am, and the cats are telling me to tone it down.

Were you late for a meeting with your cat? It's gorgeous, by the way.
