If cats could write, the titles of their books would sound something like My Dinner Is Always Late: Memoirs of a Struggling Noble. And if they could use Instagram, they’d be constantly checking on Paper Fishy.
This delightful account shares snapshots of their daily adventures—whether it's doing pull-ups on the curtain or battling the running tap water, the feline kingdom is never boring.
Sure, they might knock a glass off the desk and give us a taste of their m****r mittens—but hey, at least we get to participate.

We could learn about accepting another no matter what color they are from these cats
Cats are a type of liquid, and clearly these 2 cuties are Miscible liquids
When Mom walks in on you pounding on your little brother but you both pretend nothing is wrong 😹
For the untrained eye, some of the poses in the pictures can seem a little cuckoo.
To learn more about how to decode the body language of these wonderful critters, we contacted PAWS, or the Progressive Animal Welfare Society, a non-profit organization based in Lynnwood, Washington, dedicated to promoting animal welfare through various rescue, rehabilitation, and advocacy programs. Established in 1967, PAWS focuses on helping not only domestic animals but also injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife.
Their representative told Bored Panda, "Cats will choose to actively come and spend time near you or even climb onto your lap," when they want to show affection.
"They may purr, knead, and head bump you. They will meow at you and might try to play with you. Some cats may even lick you!"
I think I saw this picture once with an explanation that those are *not* teeth, but rather a bit of food in its mouth, giving the cat a somewhat bucktoothed appearance. I certainly hope that is the case.
That's how I'm taking it. Those do not look like cat teeth and seem to be at the wrong angle, even for wonky teeth.

I hope this cat can eat properly. My niece looked like this kitty when she was young and before she got her braces and extra teeth removed. Huge eyes and visible front teeth. Sweet kid though.
Yeah, they don't really use their incisors for very much, and they're usually much smaller than that. This one's apparently got a bit of bunny rabbit in its ancestry.

But when you hit it off, oh boy. According to a 2025 YouGov survey, Americans with cats usually describe themselves as the animal's companion (43%) and friend (41%), followed by owner (38%), then parent (37%).
Interestingly, compared to dog owners, cat owners are far less likely to say their cat is their best friend.
Also, 17% say their cats know them best, while 33% say their friends and family do, and 35% say both do equally.
My niece has a cat that, in this position, he has a white 19 in his orange fur. His name is Hey 19.
I have a marble tabby and on one side his markings look like it says HOT, and the other side looks like TOY. We named him Turbo for some reason.
However, dog and cat owners agree about the benefits. Both groups believe that their pets help fill a range of needs and desires, with large majorities of people with dogs and cats strongly or somewhat agreeing that their pets provide them with unconditional love (95% and 86%), are part of their families (95% and 92%), provide physical affection (95% and 90%), entertain them (94% and 93%), provide emotional support (93% and 86%), and improve their mental health (89% and 86%).
This is the total relaxation you can only get when your body is supported and your belly's hanging free. 😂
Among American cat owners, the largest share (55%) sees temperament as an important factor in the choice of a cat, followed by their cat’s age (42%) and their compatibility with other animals (42%).
Compared to dog owners, cat owners are far less likely to prioritize the animal's size (63% vs. 25%), breed (50% vs. 21%), energy level (43% vs. 26%), or intelligence (43% vs. 27%).
I knew I could catch that sneaky thing one-a-these-days !! I DID IT !!!
Void is about to get a smackdown, judging by those snowball's eyes.
it all began when HE was a WILEY serpent, and I was TECHNICALLY on apple duty....
Most Americans with dogs (67%) and cats (73%) say they allow their pets to sleep in bed with them, and more than half have given their pet a gift (65% and 58%).
But while majorities of dog owners say they've prepared special treats or meals for their pet, included them in holiday photos, and taken them to a dog park, and nearly half have celebrated their dog's birthday or adoption day, cat owners are more subtle and far fewer say they have done this.
Or maybe their pets just need more space. "A cat wanting to be left alone may hide, hiss, or growl when you approach," a representative of PAWS explained to us.
"You may see a lot of tail flicking, and the ears may fold back against the head. If they really want to be left alone, they may even give you a swat with their paws to make sure you stay back!"
"No fair, you're playing dirty- er, clean! *splutter* Moooooom!!"
I ❤️ polydactyls. True mouser's They were kept on pirate ships to control the rat infestation. Also, Earnest Hemingway left his home in Key West to be a home for all the stray polydactyls living on there. it's also a museum I believe
The eyes are making me wonder if it's blissed out on the wacky tabaccy. Either that or it's a zoomies break.

Anyone else ever see this pic and try to do the thing with their tongue? This pic shows up on BP a lot and I do it every time
Some people can't do it. We are the talented ones.

And then I pulled the fishy out the water Mum!! He was sooooooooo big!
All kittens are dumb. The word "dumb" just means they can't speak.

So true, better than reading conspiracies and crappy c**p about what an amazing job Orange Felon's doing
Load More Replies...Who's the 3% saying they're not interested in cat pic but scrolled through the whole post just to take the d**n survey!?! You're not interested but you scrolled through 120 photos!
While I LOVE pix of cats, a few of these made me uncomfortable with how the cat was being treated. IF your cat tolerates or likes it I think cat outfits can be cute, but many of these seemed to be done to make the owner happy at the cat's expense.
The 2% who clicked on “I’m not interested in cat pictures”, psychos!
Yes, I've posted this before recently, but cats are awesome and this picture was too good not to caption. Flabby-Hum...d7d7f6.jpg
"give us a taste of their m****r mittens". I give up, Puritan Panda. What is "m****r"? Could it be the word MÚRDER - a word so VILE and OBSCENE that merely seeing it drives people into committing rápe and génocide? Heaven forfend! Thanks for saving us from such filthy, disgusting words, Panda.
