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 think its because their wiskers are sensitive and it they eat the food their wiskers will touch the side of the bowl. I sae it somewhere at idk if its true.
Probably. I feed my cat in plates rather than bowls and she never complains.

It's called whisker fatigue. They are trying to keep their very sensitive whiskers away from the sides of the bowl.
Thank you...I couldn't remember the name of the issue.

You know what?! I'm going to send in a picture of my cat, with her bowl like this, and we can all see the heartbreaking face she makes. Can we talk about those big sorrowful eyes too?! F**k it! I'm going home right now to give her the damn bag.
my cat was never the botom one cuase every fize minutes i was not at school i would feed them and put treats in it also love the mem
Reality - Whisker fatigue - the cat doesn't eat the outer bits as the whiskers hits the edges of the bowl and the continuous triggering of them as it eats, is unpleasant to the cat. Serve them the food in a low-edge bowl, and this won't be a problem.
Will someone please explain to me why my cat will only eat the center part of her dry kibbles, leaving the spiky parts around the edges in the bowl. Refusing to add more food to the bowl until she's eaten them does not work, she would starve first. Why?
Get a Whisker Dish - cats don't have the snout to get into the corners/edges
Cats have very sensitive whiskers and that's why they hate eating from the edges of a bowl.
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.
