Cats are masters at being cute and funny. They’re our everyday companions that make life more fun. Most cat owners probably have wished their furballs were at least a little anthropomorphic. If only cats could roam the internet with their little paws…
I’d recommend the Facebook group “Memes I Wish I Could Tag My Cat In” for my feline pet. It’s a place for all cat lovers and their cats alike. We’ve selected some top-notch posts from the group for you to check out, pandas. Read on to find an interview with the group’s creator Trevor Lewis and his two partners in crime who help moderate the group – Bonnie Knapp and David Sieminski. Let us know what you think and upvote the memes you think are purrfect! Maybe even try showing them to your cat?

Exploiting us for your own ends. Bad soft can-openers! We are supposed to exploit you!
Oh God, I hope this is accessible on you tube... It is. Ha! Gotta go, got some urgent business to attend to.
I like to call them the Kartrashians. I'd much rather watch the cat version!
Trevor is a familiar face here on Bored Panda. We’ve written previously about his other Facebook group “The Best and Worst of Twitter 2” several times. It’s a place for interesting takes on almost everything from X (formerly Twitter) and is second in popularity amongst all of Trev’s curated groups.
“Memes I Wish I Could Tag My Cat In” takes the crown as the first with 339 thousand members as of September 2023. There are 14 groups in total on Trevbook (a term you’ll notice many times in this article) – some cute, some funny, some NSFW. Trev says he created the group to honor the supreme rulers of the internet – cats. “The idea for this group was inspired by the fact that cats are still the kings of the meme jungle.”
“No other animal, or genre of content, for that matter, really comes close,” he admits. “While there's no shortage of places to go for cat content on the internet, those of us in the world of 'Trevbook' take pride in doing everything our own way – and having our version of something be the best!”
I protest, I see the photo of a cat to be treated left, but why compare it to a fluffy cloud?
“Memes I Wish I Could Tag My Cat In” has two moderators that assist Trevor with the upkeep of the group. Bonnie is the primary mod and her day involves a lot of coffee, cat snuggles, approving new members (sometimes up to 20,000 in one day!), removing stale memes and pictures of people's cats.
“It's a meme group, people!” she jokes. “There's a bazillion other cat groups where you can post your beloved Fluffykins, Martha!” Bonnie also doesn’t hide her obsession with cats in real life. She has four indoor cats and a small TNR'd ( Trap-Neuter-Return) stray colony that calls her yard their home. “I was an obvious choice for moderator of the Trevbook cat meme group,” she says proudly.
The other moderator David agrees and gives credit to Bonnie and Trev for their work. “My role is to pick up the slack when needed, so when things pop up on my feed I take a look, but Bonnie (or Trev) have usually already dealt with things,” he admits.
My fat boy was at the vet this week for dental surgery. He had to be weighed beforehand-I've had him on a diet for the last few months that he really wasn't happy about. At the weigh-in, he was 6.9kg (14lb). I told him "You're still podgy." He looked at me, and deliberately walked across the table, and started loving up against the vet nurse. She picked him up and said "no, he's just a big sturdy boy" and he SMIRKED at me, like "Screw you, I've got another woman who loves me..." My cat is a big fat floofy flirt.
As if a cat is going to be bothered by the opinion of a soft can-opener.
I have had that EXACT conversation with my obese Siamese rescue! Along with "Good girl! You're not dumb, you're just fat!" When she does what I ask and hurls her fatness on top of their scratching post for cuddle rewards and waits, when I have to scold her for shoving her little old man Siamese roommate away from the food bowl! (Fat shaming can be motivating in the right circumstances!😸)
I go briskwalking at night, those cats we've been feeding always accompany me like guard dogs.1 cat is quite obese, like his late older brother. I told him same thing, lose some weight. I didn't expect him to understand but he goes briskwalking alone following recommendation by WHO.
Well, the cats will actually sit still once in a while.
Load More Replies...Did it also try to give you a quest? At least to give you some old wisdom?
Trev believes there’s a logical reason behind why cats are so beloved on the internet. “Cats are the most popular because they are uniquely suitable pets for the kind of person that spends a lot of time online."
"Those of us who spend the most hours on the internet, creating and sharing our own content, tend to be more introverted, indoors individuals. Cats are the perfect indoor pet and are relatively low-maintenance compared to dogs,” shares the creator.
This is exactly happened with my not so little terror. He kept growing and growing. Did DNA test and confirmed MC. Such amazing cats btw. Very cuddly monsters. Only downside is they really enjoy having conversations and they have opinions on everything. Also, say good bye to all of your personal space, you now have a 20+ # toddler that follows you everywhere. Mine wants to be carried all of the time. He is the reason I have back problems. Totally worth it tho.
OMG. That cat needs its own postal (zip) code. And maybe some kitty-valium.
House cats don't really have sexual dimorphism, so what makes you think so? Also, it's a cat, and a joke, it doesn't really matter...
Load More Replies...Not fooling him XD it's like that time I tried to convince my dad our assistant librarian was human. (She was a bearded dragon)
In Trev’s mind, people who own other pets, such as dogs, perhaps spend less time in front of their computers. “Dogs often need a lot of attention and physical exercise, and for a pet owner that means time away from the computer. I'm sure the dog people would make some brilliant memes, but unfortunately they're too busy picking up poop off a sidewalk somewhere so we'll never know.”
"Now you know how I feel when I run into your legs randomly in the dark!" 😈.... I wish there was an emoji of a cat with horns 😔
We just have an excellent sense of humor.

I feel for Tim. I adopted a litter of three kits that my vet backdated to have been born on my birthday. I thought 'how cute! A family birthday!' But... no. That day is now just a 'cat birthday,' and the cats don't like my old joke of asking them every year if they want to trade ages.

I wanna blow in it like those puff balls! 😍
Load More Replies...Well, let's all be kind here: my mum had the fattest cat of all time and insisted 'she was just fluffy'.
Funny cat content has been with us almost from the inception of the internet. “Memes have definitely come a long way,” Trevor agrees. “It is correct to say that the original cat memes, like the 'I Can Haz Cheeseburger?' are mostly seen as cringe today.
That's just the nature of humor in general. Audiences mature and cultures change over time. If someone tries to submit a stale meme to our groups, they are liable to be banished from Trevbook forever. Thankfully, we haven't had too many people insulting our refined taste.”
How dare you hooman. Feed me now or I shall destroy. MEOWHAHAHAHAHAH
Someone's going to be sleeping on the soft can-opener's face tonight -- with murder mittens at the ready.
My cat only did that to my mother. She was such a good judge of character. I miss her
Load More Replies...If you're going to wake me early, Barbara, there better be treats involved.
The fact that we all know the noise and that is indeed the activation noise......
Sometimes accompanied by a little scrabbling jump, depending on how startled they are
However, that doesn’t mean there are no novelties in the realm of cat memes. “One current trend that I see becoming more popular as time marches on is using AI to generate hidden text within images of cats,” Trev says. “Frankly, this could be used for some very nefarious purposes, but it could also continue to yield very funny results.”
“I also think cats are increasingly portrayed as sarcastic, grumpy and reluctant companions, which they often are,” Trevor goes on. “Older memes typically focused on the more wholesome side of the feline personality, but like ogres and onions, cats too have many layers. Especially the fat ones.”
Aww my baby is the high end of that chart... 😣 The perils of having two cats with drastically different levels of food motivation. One takes the path of least resistance, if it's out of the way or requires effort to get to food, it's not worth his time. HER? She'd plot a scheme to hire raccoons to break in and steal it for her before burning the house down to hide the evidence.
LMAO! Just like my Wife who loves taking pictures of our Supreme Ruler laying down on my chest while I'm still sleeping every morning, her coworkers didn't believe her until she showed the proof
Winnie the phoo wants his honey pot, oww! This honey scratches me when I stick my hand in!
“One way we try to be original is in how we run and curate our groups. Most internet communities are run like piping hot dumpster fires. They're akin to a zoo where all the animals have been released from their cages. Thankfully, we run a much tighter ship than that. All of our animals ("members") are kept on a tight leash, and so long as they behave they continue to receive their tasty little meme morsels,” Trevor explains.
Reminds me of those plushy Garfields you stick to your car's windows
oh man, we are old, but we had awesome c**p in the 80s.

Had a kitten that we spent longer than that looking for. Try behind the fridge.
Ours managed to get in the cooker, in a gap between the hob and the oven, we had to call a Gas installer to get him and his one fluffy braincell out again.
Load More Replies...When I first adopted our big, tuxedo boy, he hid in a small closet and eventually chewed his way through the basement trapdoor. I spent 3 days with an improvised fishing pole, treats and toys at the end as if I were ice-fishing. On the third day, he finally showed up. After replacing the trapdoor, I slept with him in that same closet, with him occasionally hissing at me, until he decided I was safe.
We learned after many cats - Don’t search & you’ll easily discover them
When I left my kitty alone for the first time, I was gone maybe 20 minutes but spent significantly longer trying to find her. She somehow was inside my dresser.
Trevor is very passionate about creating safe spaces online. “At Trevbook, we make sure all of our communities are inclusive,” he says. “Anyone, regardless of their identity or background, will feel safe and welcomed. There is a zero tolerance for things like bigotry, which unfortunately is very common in lesser internet spaces.”
Both Bonnie and David agree that other Facebook groups lack in the regulation against bigotry. “Unlike Facebook, Trevbook has no tolerance for the intolerant,” Bonnie says. “The only people that get banned are bigots.”
David attributes Trev’s commitment to inclusivity to why he became one of the moderators. “Most Facebook groups are barely performative at enforcing ‘no hate, no bigotry’ community standards, but Trevor sincerely meant it,” David says.
This. How can one cat take up an entire queen size bed? How can they be so selfish and charming at the same time?
It's those cute little purrs of theirs. And their adorable meows. And how they have razor blades in their toes to keep you from moving them.

Snake looks just like my Austin Blue! Best cat ever!!! 🥰 head bumps to you Snake!
Males tend to be less territorial than females. I brought a new cat home, the male accepted her right away, meanwhile the two females barely tolerated each other ten years later.
So sweet! We followed the instructions Jackson Galaxy has on YouTube for introducing a new kitten to an older cat, and it worked great.
That was not how my cat reacted to the kitten we got; but I already had 2 cats who were just starting to get along
I swear my Ragdoll has given herself several concussions over the years.
Does anyone else do it back to their cats? I’ll rub my head against them while I pet them and it makes them purr a lot usually
Instead of hugging, I literally head butt my brother lightly and say bonk lol
I bonk my sweetie every night as I'm going to bed. Then we have the ear/face rubs, the strokes down her back, and then the chin scratches/rubs, which are mandatory.
“Personally responsive and forthcoming, he never quibbled or put up with devil's advocate rhetoric – he simply and eloquently did not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, hate or bigotry in any form.”
He and Trev struck up a friendship after some unfortunate events with past moderators. “We've never met in person (but hope to, some day) and I count Trevor as one of my dearest friends,” David tells Bored Panda.
“I learned the hard way how awful people can be in this world and I've pitched more than my share of hardballs in this life,” David opens up. “I'd rather spend my time and experience advocating for responsibility, fairness and kindness – and humor. Trevor telegraphs those values and that gives me hope.”
I just want to massage that lil head for some reason
And from the TV screen, you STILL haven't found something to watch!! XD
Better to spot it now.. Otherwise it's going to be very strange tasting saffron rice.
Mine actually just likes to sit in the pot! Never does anything, just comfy?
Load More Replies...Have you cleaned his litter box lately? There's usually a good reason why a cat will void outside of their litter box. Dirty boxes or bad location (never place it near their food) or not enough boxes for a multi cat home.
I felt it almost mandatory to ask the team how they feel about dogs. Bonnie was very clear with her preference: “Cats rule! Kidding… dogs are alright.” David has owned many animals and is more diplomatic: “I've also learned not to to weigh in on the virtues of one over the other because that just turns too quickly into an opportunity for hurt feelings.”
“At present I have a house full of birds, and cats aren't particularly a good mix with them,” David says. “But there are tons of neighborhood cats where I live so I do spend a bit of time talking to them and hearing their views, and leaving them treats.”
He/she is more beautiful than most of the children I've ever seen. ( I am even not kidding :D)
Used the litter tray and demanded I clean it immediately. So I got up, hung the curtains up and cleaned the litter tray again and begged them to fall asleep. By now it's 3am. I fell asleep and 45 minutes later the older cat decided she wanted to sleep with me and decided the best place to sleep was on my face, which is why I woke up unable to breathe, she is a big cat. I think in the 6 nights they were here I got around 4 hours of interrupted sleep. Much easier with my grandkids who fall asleep at 8pm and wake up at 6am lol
I get more sleep looking after my two human grandsons than I do looking after my daughter's 4 cats. Every summer she and her fiancé take the children to Stockholm for a week and her cats stay with me. Nightmare, well it would be if I ever got to sleep. I fell asleep 11pm, after making sure the litter box was clean and they had fresh wash and dry food out for them. 11:30pm I got woken up by one of them meowing that they had used the litter box and it needed emptying. Soon as I got up another pushed the empty water bowl over to me, from the looks of it they had been fighting over it and it tipped over. So emptied the litter tray and filled the water bowl and went back to bed. It was quiet and I fell asleep again, only to be woken by the youngest cat who wanted to be on the windowsill behind my bed but the eldest cat was there and she didn't want company so they starting fighting, pulled the curtains down which landed on my head along with both cats. As I was awake another cat
I noticed a distinct aroma of perfume on one of my cats several days a week, but had no idea why since I don't wear scents. One day, I was down to the local store, and caught a whiff of this aroma on a woman who lived down the street from me. Mystery solved.
Our soft can-opener is always kissing Audi. She tries that on me, and she gets clawed.
My cat knows the difference between "Kiss" (which is a quick rub with his face) and "Smooch!" (that is a full, slobbery double-sided, full-face rub). Both are conditional to him receiving treats.
Despite occasionally teasing dog people, Trevor says he loves all animals. “My life will likely someday come to an end as a direct result of me petting something I shouldn't have. But, at least I went out doing what I loved. One of my strongest beliefs is that we should try to domesticate bears.” Bonnie seconds him: “Next step, domesticated bears. Can you imagine the memes?”
im full...but i could really use an entire family bag size of chips
Brought some friends along with me to a farm up the street. As we entered the barn, we saw the barn kittens running around, and one of my friends immediately went to scoop one up while I was simultaneously warning her Nooooo... That little kitten inflicted some seriously bloody damage. Next stop, the ER.
I always brought our soft can-opener mousie toys, but she'd just throw them, and after an hour it would get old.
Gray one looks almost exactly like one of my cats, except her eyes are green.

I had one who*loved* bananas. He'd crawl into your mouth to try for them. Overall, he loved fruit--to the extent that one day I found him with his head stuffed in my orange juice glass, licking away.
She was looking at all the tiny spiders. Now she is confirming they are all gone else where.
Looks like he's got something in his mouth and refusing to show what it is.
If possible, economically etc. Parents should not want their children to take care of them when getting older. Hang out and socialise, yes. But not the taking care of, so to say.. edit: delete an missplaced word.

I have bad enough allergies that I've experienced eyelid swelling from being in a place too heavily covered in cat dander (the people had a long haired indoor cat and they rarely cleaned), but even so, is never make someone get rid of their cat for me.
Antihistamine first. Just to be fair. (And only if the cat allows it...)🤣
Funny, my cat used to do that, but stopped as soon as my hormone levels stabilized. I guess she didn't like testosterone! (Me neither, kit-cat, me neither...)
Years ago my cat Garfield was sitting next to me while I was drinking Kailua and cream and I noticed him licking the tip of his paw, I didn't think my of it. A few seconds later he was doing it again, so I watched him; he was dipping the tip of his paw in my drink then licking his paw. I immediately put a stop to it.
One of mine did that. I let her until he fell off the back of the easy chair. The next day he had a hangover, and he *never*did it again. Sometimes they've gotta learn the hard way.

Animals give us a reason to get out of bed. They bring us joy. They cuddle with us. We play with them, they play with us. They stick by us. That’s why people who are depressed or physically ill do better when they have pets. I remember seeing a something on TV years ago about AIDS patients. There was one man getting treatment, who was told to give his cat to a relative, because the doctors weren’t sure if caring for an animal would stress him. He fell into a depression and wasn’t responding well to his treatment. So the relative brought his cat back to him. He started to bounce right back out of the depression, and was responding to his treatments really well. All because he had his cat back. His little companion. Someone else to look after. A reason to get up. A reason to go out to the store for groceries and cat food. A reason to live, because he had the responsibility for caring for his cat. He ended up getting well enough to go back to work. The effect having a pet can have on someone who is ill is just amazing.
I suffer with severe PTSD. I had always planned to opt out of life when my cat, Dresden, passed. It's been three years now and I struggle with staying alive everyday. I have two other cats, and I want to be here for them, but it's not the same. Okay, done being vulnerable on the internet for the day.
Thank you for giving us insight in your current life. Please stay strong, even if there will be no other Dresden. Your cats love you more than you think, and maybe there are humans as well who love you and appreciate you being there. Life will become better. I promise.

Me too. Once when I was at the grocery store my support worker went to find a worker to ask if they had more of something that I needed. Leaving me in the frozen food aisle when a guy came up beside me and just stood right next to me. I was shaking with panic then threw up over the frozen food in the freezer. He moved away fast. I hate it when men come too close as it terrifies me.

The cats were visibly hungry, but hadn't touched her.
Dogs will eat you too, but only as a last resort or when you no longer smell like you. Cats will start licking of your skin within the hour 🐈⬛

Looks like one of those math problems you get in school. "If you have one cat, then you add another cat, how many cats do you have. If you then multiply those cats by 4, how many cats do you have?"
That’s not just a whole bunch of cats. That’s a whole bunch of cats who are relatives.
They did revere them, but not the way you think. They did have pet cats but rarely bothered to name them, but they did name dogs. There were also places that would breed cats to kill and mummify them, and then sell them as souvenirs.

I'm currently in a Motel 6 and I didn't get a cat! Upsetti spaghetti
Is there one in each room? Do they automatically charge if you keep it, like the mini-bar?
We’ve tried counseling, but they say there’s nothing that can be done, just keep getting new cats…
Oh well this is good news for me...I've been having much difficulty trying to explain to people just how I love my kitty cat. Wish I saw this like a year ago, probably would have saved me at least 1awkward look. 🤦♀️
