There are very few ways to start a fiery discussion as quickly as asking someone if they like cats or dogs more. We have no horse in the game and think that all pets are awesome. But today, we’d love to pay homage to how awesome and derpy cats are.
Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest and wittiest tweets ever written by cat owners—and these are beyond relatable! They’re a reminder of why it’s so wonderful to have a pet who’s always happy to see you (and then ignore you) when you come back home. Don’t forget to upvote your fave tweets, Pandas!

There can be no better response. Well done.

The dog being the cat's bed is enough, I think. Sometimes words aren't necessary.
Load More Replies...Isn't there a medieval manuscript (hand written by monks) that a monastery cat peed on only for the monk to annotate it with something like "it was the damn cat". I swear I read something like this.

Our house is placed on the gothic line (Italy, just under the river Po) and we left all the historical signes we found on that place. In spite of all our historical self consciousness I don't need to tell you that old cat footprints are my favorite ones! 🐾
I heard that this was actually done on purpose - the tile makers would send a cat or dog over the tiles to check progress in the manufacturing process because the kitties and doggos didn't weigh enough to destroy the tile like a grown-a*s adult would.
Cats meow in the same range as babies cry because that's what get us to react the fastest and the best. They have been manipulating us since the dawn of time and we think they are less intelligent than dogs because they don't 'sit, beg, roll'.
The same range, huh? Funny then how a baby's cry makes me cringe away, but a cat's meow? I'm there in an instant ♥
Load More Replies...Lol, mine does a similar thing lol, she's really wierd and doesn't eat dry food from the bowl, you have to spread it on a table for her to eat, só whe she's hungry She jumps on the table and just stares at me ( and no, its not the dinning table, its an old table in the " pantry " that is preety much just theirs ) .
She's indignant if made to eat from a bowl on the floor, because that's what animals do, and she isn't, so meow! 😼
Load More Replies...Anyone owned by a cat is trained. We just close our eyes to it, because we think we're supposed to be the ones in charge.
Load More Replies...My cat will jump onto the bathroom counter and stare into my soul until I turn on the faucet.
I'm forever plagued by some kind of animal mind control... I've accepted my fate.
I tried a couple fountains, my cat never used them. Still wants to drink from the faucet.
Load More Replies...The fact that cat vocalizations are meant only for humans, because cats don't chat like that amongst themselves, is solid proof they are intelligent enough to manipulate humans. And dogs are jealous.
Look, we’d love to rave about dogs all day long, but the Global Cat Council recently informed us that if we give our beloved feline floofs more attention, they might (maybe!) let us pet them more often. There might have also been some talks about being ignored less by the citizens of the Kingdom of Cats, but it’s all hush-hush at the moment, really!
The truth is that there are very few decisions that you can make in life that are better than bringing a pet into your home. If you’re able to provide it with the care and attention that it needs, you’ve got a best friend in life. Congratulations, your family now has a new member.
Ikr. It's annoying when the photo doesn't correlate to the text. Come on.

Hearing one soft beep and shouting and clapping 'you're not allowed on the counter' then hearing prrrrr and BUMP (fat cat hitting the floor).

Oh no - real cat ownership is stumbling out into the kitchen in the morning ready to make breakfast and discovering cat tongue tread marks in the butter.
Bahahahaha. Every time I have guests over & my cats start messing around with stuff & I do this they're always like "how did you know?" & I cant actually explain it. But I know other cat ppl understand. I can always tell who it is too.
For me, it's hearing a tiny slurp and yelling STOP DRINKING MY DRINK.
Crazy soft can-openers. We TRY to help them, and they get all mad.
Load More Replies...Just remember that having a pet in your life is not an easy decision to make. You have to take into account the financial costs (shelter, food, toys, medical bills), as well as how much quality attention you’d be able to give the cat.
Don’t just get a pet to ignore it because you’re burning the midnight oil at the office every single day, for months on end. Your pet deserves far, far more!
Approach the unfamiliar very slowly and, no matter what you do, remain cautious and quiet.
And make yourself look as big as you can. Just in case, you know.

Cats with permanent scowls must be in direct lineage with Pallas's cat. What other explanation is there?
Mines ALWAYS have 2 bowls with wet food, and One big One of dry food, só they can't complain they are hungry.
3 cats.. 3 full plates.. 3 starving meows everytime I make a step towards the kitchen
I‘ve seen the pic tons of times and still cannot understand it. It just hurts my brain 🙈
I think it must be a panorama photo fail - the cat moved while the pictures were being taken.
Load More Replies...I have the potential to be one of those chonky unit cat owners everyone yells at. It's the mind control, I have no power against it.
what do you mean thats me after ive been running up and down the hall to annoy you all night, and then leaving when you realize you dont have a cat
A while ago, Bored Panda spoke to cat behavior consultant Ingrid Johnson, the founder of Fundamentally Feline, about the dynamic between owners and their pet cats. She explained to us that cats tend to prefer having options available to then, rather than having to deal with forced change.
“Whenever we do things like abruptly change brands of cat litter or change their diet it is always best to offer choices rather than forcing them into things," she told us how much these animals value their freedom.
Yes! My sister was demanding I go home yesterday after the Superbowl and help fix her garage door. I told her that my younger cat had just fallen asleep on my leg and I couldn't move. XD

Oooh, put on the mouse one. They love that and it's quiet. cat-tv-wit...93bcb6.jpg
I got a new hoodie for myself for Christmas. I got to wear it once. After the first wash, I laid it out on my bed while I was hanging laundry and my largest cat curled up and fell asleep on it. Cat rules dictate that it is against the law to disturb a sleeping kitty so I let him sleep there. Later that day, when I put it away, he wouldn't stop meowing at the dresser drawer. I took it out and laid it back on the bed and he jumped up and fell asleep on it. He repeated this each time I'd put it away. It took about a week before I gave up. It stays on the bed now and it's his favorite place to sleep. Since it belongs to him, I had to buy myself another one. Cats always get their way lol.
Recliner...cat chair tent for the winter, every winter. Blanket on seat with a low heat heating pad folded within. Another blanket laying at an angle from top back down to front seat. Making a tent of the chair. She loves it. During the summer she prefers the patio so I use light weight blankets on the old base rocket no heating pad. She is a happy camping kitty.
There's something to be said for a cat with it's priorities in order.
Load More Replies...They got too close! By too close I mean they walked past the crate!
Load More Replies...As far as my cats are concerned smacking "someone for no reason" is a very good reason for smacking them again.
It's been my experience that when a cat smacks you, they are in need of your attention. This trait can be curbed by giving the cat what it needs to maintain its mental health.
"Cats also prefer humans that allow the cats to dictate the interactions. They do not like to be smothered. Allow the cat to approach and ask for petting rather than forcing it on them," the cat behaviorist explained.
She noted that cats can sense our moods through the tone of voice that we use. "Animals are very perceptive, not to mention they can smell the chemical changes in our bodies when we are hormonal, sad, angry, sick, etc.," she pointed out.
To all the psichs (not psychiatrics but psycologists) out there that don't have had my money yet. ..... relax and be kind with cats....they'll teach you something else about your profession. This is my modest personal opinion, obviously. Having a cat in your life could be a priority skill before graduating. 🐾
And of course any sort of weather that they don't like IS ALL MY FAULT.
Will I live to see the day when dog owners aren't disparaging cats? If a cat knows it's misbehaved, it will apologize. Dog owners are incapable of understanding the nuanced language between cats and their humans. It's like comparing rock 'n roll to ambient music.
ALL of the cats I have had in my lifetime would apologize. My favorite one would sneak back into the room, after being told to think about what he had done, creep up to me very silently, and gently tap my foot with his paw until I picked him up. Then he'd purr and rub until forgiven.
I don't want to brag, but none of my four cats has ever scratched me. The do use theirs claws when making their nest, but never, ever had a go at me.
Cats rarely intentionally scratch their owner (or anyone really) without thorough provocation. Most scratches come as an "accident" because the cat was trying to grab a toy/food, or if they were climbing on someone but slipped and used their claws to get a grip, or some other scenario where the target of their claws was something other than a human.
Load More Replies...Lmao, preety much, yea. ( Not gonna incluir a picture of my arms lol )
When mine were tiny I made a point to fiddle with their ears, feet, belly etc. so they were aware that pieces won't fall off if the upright ape touches them. Made for lots fewer injuries when it was time to trim claws or whatnot.
The absolute deadliest is the belly rub. You sometimes have a 15 second window at most to rub your cat's chonky belly before those murder mittens and needle sharp teeth wrap around your arm.
one of my rescues bit me the first time i tried to grab her. fell in love with her at that moment. starving, almost dead, but still enough attitude to bite me. she's 15 yrs old now.
"Many cats learn that a loud raised voice means bad news and they run to hide. It is ideal to try to minimize such tones in the home as we can be doing a lot to stress out all of our pets even if the discussion is not directed towards them in any way, it can still affect them."
Think about the type of internet content that you love the most, Pandas. No matter your niche individual likes and dislikes, the odds are that many of you think that cat memes and pics are absolutely awesome. You’re not alone.
This would make me laugh so hard 😂 All that work for a kitty butt.
Def not havins issues with humans being skinned alive, just collecting the discarded skin!
My last kitty had a thing for socks. What was creepy is that she, as a strictly inside cat, would occasionally present me with a sock I didn't recognize. She never brought the mates, so I'm wondering if she might have some twisted deal with the dryer to cough up "socks of the past".
A few of my cats brought home other cats. It would've been so much easy for all if they were glove thieves.
We know what prey is. In this case, it's gloves. Those gloves were plotting against the soft can-openers, the cat saved them, and are the soft can-openers grateful? Noooooooooooooo!
Can it perhaps be trained to retrieve a blu ray player? Asking for a friend.
My cat nibbled a hole in the bottom of the huge kibble bag, and then ate each piece as it tumbled out.
Content creator and comedian Trev Lewis, from LA, explained to Bored Panda earlier that the two types of content that have the biggest potential to go viral on the internet are animals and food.
"The two most common types of content that go viral are animals and food. This is what the data shows. No matter how many times algorithms get tweaked, or which platform we're discussing, people remain fixated on nourishment and other creatures. We are quite animalistic in that way," he said.
My cat comes through and starts reminding me an hour before dinner time
Had a small wood-burning stove for a while, and boy, oh boy, did my cats adore it.
I had a cat who knew how to turn on the electric fireplace by jumping up the wall and flipping the switch.
There is also a use of human: scratching post and claw sharpener:)
My cats used to dust behind the headboard. At least, that's what I think they were doing back there.
I use his butt. They both like to sit on my lap, with the boy usually having his chonky butt towards me. It's perfect.
I have done that plenty of time. My cat is rated for the iPad pro. Might be rated for laptop as well, but I never tried.
Adding a bit of humor into the mix is always a plus. However, it isn’t necessary. What’s far more important is making your posts and tweets relatable. Your audience needs something to reel them in.
"Relatability is a more crucial component because this is the factor that often inspires people to share the content with others. Sharing is the highest form of engagement and the one true path to viral content. All the other forms of engagement will follow it," the content creator said
That's alright if they make that face for a moth. It gets scary when they have that look on their faces with the same intensity looking down an apparently empty hallway while you watch the Blair Witch Project.
It's when the moth is in the bedroom, and you really need to sleep, but Puss really needs to get that moth.
I love when they chitter at flies, moths etc and even birds out the window.
mayflies! My kitties love them! One time one of my cats actually caught a fly. Like an actual fly. I have no idea how she did it but she was carrying it around in her mouth
Load More Replies...I just can't let a cat be an outdoor cat anymore. Tooooooo sad when they vanish and we never know what happened.
A wise choice. I know of a few cats who got eaten by coyotes, and my sister's cat got an infected opossum bite a few months ago and had to have her tail amputated. Not to mention all the poor kitties who get run over by cars.
Load More Replies...Don't people worry about their cats when they're out and about like that? Any number of things can happen to them. The average lifespan of an outdoor cat is half that of an indoor one. I can't even count the number of ways something can happen to that poor kitty in the pic. One day, they'll never come home and their owner will never know what happened.
I had a beloved indoor/outdoor cat that I accidentally ran over as I backed my car out of the driveway. My neighbors from several houses away came outside when they heard my hysterical crying. I'll never have an outdoor cat again.
My cat ( rip ) used to borrow one particular sock from the laundry, drag it all the way to the other end of house, onto my bed ( difficult for a cat ). And cuddle with it like it was a teddy.
Load More Replies...When my sister and I lived together we both adopted cats on the same day. The first time the two of them saw me take off my glasses, they stared like I was a wizard.
My 5yo cat was afraid of my kitten when she had to wear the cone of shame. I had to show him the cone, let him smell and examine it, and then let him watch me put it on my kitten. Then he was good.
I'm still wondering if my cats think I'm cleaning my ice cream cone.
No, they're patiently(?) waiting for you to drop your clothes on the floor so they can curl up in them and nap.
It’s why cat tweets get the amount of attention that they do: they’re relatable, they’re often humorous, and they’re full of cuteness. Like it or not, people enjoy reading and looking at things that they agree with. We enjoy having others confirm our opinions and life choices.
What does it say about me that I thought of Something Rotten before Romeo and Juliet

My cat only comes to the name he chose, not the one we tried to label him with. Was named Simon by the shelter. We changed it to Cinnamon, then Creamy Butterscotch (as his fur lightened). He chose CatCat.

My cat wants morning pets every day before I go to work. As soon as I sit up she climbs right up on my lap for her pets. And she loves sleeping on top of me. She's super affectionate and a complete lap cat (at least for me).
Normally wouldn't pair brown shoes with a black and white outfit, but she's pulling it off.
im allergic to cats, yet i have three long haired ones. i dont see the problem?
My cat used to be my daughter's (I got it for her when she was 15). When she moved out to live with her boyfriend I became the cat's Mom as the boyfriend is allergic. They plan to eventually get a hairless breed. CatCat loves when his other Mom comes for visits. She knows she is truly missed.
Yep. My wife wanted a cat. I'm allergic to cats. So we got a cat. Then another, and so on and so on. At one point, we had 6! I can snuggle up to them now. I'm also allergic to dogs.... Guess where this is going....
Load More Replies...Mine is, now I have dogs. Very different experience, and way too much licking.
100000% my husband is my best friend. I'd kill for him. I'd die for him. But I would not give up my cats or any of my pets for him. Luckily he loves our animals just as much as I do. But if he ever like... develops allergies or bumps his head & has amnesia & forgets he loves cats but still remembers me.... I'll convince him that I'm a stranger & he's nuts & needs to leave my house. Cause ain't no man/woman gunna ever come before my animals.
This ultimatum between an SO and an animal companion comes up frequently on Reddit. The human is always left on the side of the road. Gives me a bit of faith in some humans.

I have a camera set up and I noticed during the day my cat is just doing his own thing and sometimes in hiding. But around 4pm, he would get on the sofa, looking at the door and just waiting. He knows.

We bought a cat stroller for vet visits. We live in the city and thought my girl would love walks around the neighborhood. Scratch that. My mom thought she would like walks. NO. NOT AT ALL, AS A MATTER OF FACT! she screams. Continually for every moment she's in it. It makes taking her to the vet interesting. We are apologizing continually to the bus drivers and fellow passengers. She wants to be home, with only me, my mom and my other cat. We have to go to a hotel this week with her for 3 days. Wish us luck!

Yeah, same here. She has claimed it has her territory.

Can confirm. I have 2 jersey woolies (they are mini) and they will lunge at and grunt at the cats if they get too close. Cats wont bother them lol
Rabbits are no joke. They can break other rabbits ribs with their kicks, so I imagine a cat isn’t totally safe either.
My cat talks all of the time. Most of the time it’s because he wants something or is complaining about being removed from the counter, but sometimes he just sits there and talks. He even sleep talks
I have a very vocal cat, she mainly yells at me when she decides it's her dinnertime and I disagree. This could be anytime from just after breakfast up until her normal food time at 5pm!
Our Kitty chirps and squeaks more than an actual meow. She snores sometimes and I turn everything off just to listen to her.
I too have a loud cat. One of them is super quiet unless she can’t find someone or falls asleep downstairs and then wakes up when everyone else is in bed; then she has the saddest meow looking for people. My other cat, is a squeaky toy. He either is meowing super loud, or has a high pitched squeak-meow. He especially loves to scream at me when I am not petting him.
Bouche meows at me, and gets disgusted when I meow back. Apparently I don't say it right.
We have full-blown discussions at our house...usually it's me agreeing to everything the little chattercat is telling me...
My cat and I have conversations that sometimes last ten minutes or more. I talk to her, she chirps back at me.
My MC never shuts up. He has many opinions...about many things....and it is very important that I know ALL of them.

That reminds me, fun fact, ginger can help set things in motion if your cat is constipated. You just need a very small amount, but we tried it, and it does work.
Load More Replies...It is partly off the plate. I'll just grab it before it falls onto the floor.
The other day I got some rosemary chicken out and then went to grab a can of green beans. I came back to the kitchen to find my cat up on the counter with her teeth sunk into the corner of my chicken breast. The really hilarious thing is when it comes to cat food she refuses to eat chicken. She'll only eat seafood foods.
Any time I'm visiting someone who has a to pet, I'm usually way more interested in giving the animal love than I am in the human I'm there to see.

My cats are pretty atypical. My previous cat would lecture me on how long I'd been gone and how lonely he'd been! The one I have now comes to the door to say hi, then sits on the couch arm next to the recliner, waiting for me to sit so she can cuddle.
Nyssa yawns as a greeting, but I think she's just reminding us of her razor-sharp teeth!
