🥰 He's got the cutest little face! And so photogenic, my cat would be jealous 🤭
My girl follows me too. But it is horribly offensive if I get too close when she's using the litter box.
So proud and so much love in his eyes. You lucky, lucky human!!! Cherish him for all his life!!
Use the correct side of the bog roll darling or you’ll get fur up yer doodah
Mouser of number ten. Love Larry. His Twitter account was one of the reasons I persisted on Twitter as long as I did.
Load More Replies...is the cat the package because I will gladly take it

Archaeological evidence from a Neolithic site in Cyprus, dating to approximately 7500–7200 BC, includes the burial of an African wildcat alongside a human, suggesting a close relationship between humans and cats at that time.
Genetic studies indicate that all domestic cats descend from the Middle Eastern wildcat, Felis sylvestris lybica. These wildcats were attracted to early human settlements by the abundance of rodents, leading to a mutually beneficial relationship that eventually resulted in domestication.
If I ever got married, my half of the wedding party would be made up entirely of my pets XD I would have bridescats and bridesdogs!
The focus of the wedding has returned home. He is so handsome and proud of his accomplishments at the wedding.
I was the ring bearer's bearer too. I was worried all the time about the chairs of the townhouse
According to Sleep Foundation, cats are known for their extensive sleep habits, typically sleeping 12 to 16 hours per day. This behavior is rooted in their natural instincts as predators, conserving energy for hunting activities, especially at dawn and dusk. Several factors influence a cat's sleep duration, including age, activity level, and health.
Much like us, cats cycle through different stages of sleep. Cats experience both non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During the NREM stage, your cat may be lightly asleep and ready to awake at a moment’s notice. When cats are in REM sleep, they can twitch or go limp with a loss of muscle tone.
I'm sure your local animal shelter has plenty of local dishwashers that are quite affordable.

Seems like a horrible place for animals, with all the noise and crowds rushing. I hope they get special protective transportation around the airport.
As much as cats nap, it hasn’t stopped them from pursuing careers throughout history. According to the BBC, in 1868, three cats were formally employed as mousers at the Money Order Office in London. They were "paid" a wage of one shilling a week - which went towards their upkeep - and were given a six-month probationary period.
Another cat, Arthur, was the face of Spillers cat food for nearly 10 years. The handsome cat was so popular the brand was later renamed Arthur's in his honour. Although there were rumors that Arthur used his paw to eat because his teeth had been removed, the allegation was proven untrue - he was just a natural-born paw-dipper.
Don't lie to me, I can see that they are just apprentices. Where's their supervisor!?
I think my cat isnt a professional seeing how it never worked the same after he floofed into the computer.
beside the lovely kitties i also see a seagate and a western digital hdd. :)
I at first seen the two orange cats then the gray one and the black one.
Is it just me or does the cat not look too happy with this job.
He is not unhappy, he is concentrating. He is obviously an artiste!
Load More Replies...He looks to me like he does not like the location and is about to take it down.
Probably because he can hardly see over the edge of his desk 😔
Load More Replies...Nah, it's training the human and already disappointed in his performance.
We’ve all had a good chuckle at a cat meme, but their healing power goes much further than that. According to the Purina website, therapy cats are certified pets who can help people cope with anxiety, illness and disorders. These animals have been trained to do therapy work, which may include using their natural instincts to provide comfort.
Some of the benefits of cat therapy include help with depression via increasing endorphin output, reducing isolation and alleviating loneliness, offering relief from dementia, and improving cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure. For some people, cuddling with a therapy cat may even reinforce a sense of self-worth.
Better watch it or TY might decide to take him back to duplicate him.
I know that company is proud to have its newest creation received so well.
I've seen the video and the cat really swatted away the toddler anytime he/she tried to approach the railing
You don't know toddlers very well. Go look for the videos that are out there. Toddlers will find a way to climb. Maybe do it successfully when parents are not watching. But the cameras are.
Load More Replies...Cats understand babies I’m telling you. Well other animals, too, but in this instance, particularly cats.
Trust, a kid will find a way. I've seen my 3 year old climb on a chair, to the counter and up a cabinet to get cookies that I stored on the top most shelf to try to keep them from getting to said cookies. This, suffice to say, did not work out the way I exepected. All while the dog watched.
Load More Replies...I agree i tried to put blinds on my car and i crashed.
Load More Replies...Without cats, we wouldn’t have cat memes, so we think it’s fair to say they earn their keep, no matter what they’re doing. So, next time you think your cat is lazy, keep in mind that, by just being around, it’s probably making your life better by the minute.
Who’s your best career kitty in this list? Upvote your favorites and don’t forget to leave a comment if the urge grabs you!
Agreed. Cat pope seems to really project that sense of religious serenity we all need
Load More Replies...Pray to CeilingCat that all will be well and all things will be well.
What have you done you’ve given an apex predator armor now he’s unstoppable!
And he’s not an orange. Sorry, didn’t mean to insult orange cats. At least they have at least one brain cell!
Much more intelligent, reasonable and empathetic from the current president
If he were orange then maybe he'd get custody of the one brain cell more often?
I easily spend over $500 a month on cat food and stuff, for my own babies plus the strays I look after. It's a tight stretch on a carer's pension, but I can't not do it.
MUCH better than those stupid cooler doors that are just big annoying displays (that may or may not accurately show you what is inside and that also show ads).
Whenever I bring home groceries, my cat must inspect them before I can put them away. I
My two dogs are the same. You must pass inspection if you want to come in.
Load More Replies...Cut out a cardboard circle that matches the pot's top, and a small hole in the middle for the plant. If the cat can't get to the dirt, he'll hopefully use the litter box (you might want to put a litter box beside the plant and move it slowly to its place.)

This is the Pet Batman and cat women would get if they got together.
Keyboard Cat is an ancient meme and I'm sure the kitty himself has crossed the Rainbow Bridge by now, but he lives on forever in our hearts <3
I have the original one (vid) from YouTube, saved in my FAVE section!!
Load More Replies...Keyboard cat is indeed somewhere over the rainbow, but their memory lives on in the Internet forever. They are missed.
Aww! I have a photo somewhere of my old gray cat Wintressia in an R2-D2 pet hoodie, but this photo of her in an Easter Bunny costume is even better: mm_easter_...505c67.jpg
When you suck at the game but your bigger brother says you did awesome.
I'm working on the theory that they put that board on the tub for the cat.
We need a cat psychologist to determine the reasoning behind the need to push things off other things, then watch it fall and hit the floor. Is there some primeval reason? Instinct? Why? Why?

You know what's coming while watching the video and yet it's still an OMG moment. ♥️

Would have been fine if the rod weren't so wobbly.
Load More Replies...Yes! I need my Monday morning cats. Even the duplicates are nice.
I share with you a photo of my old gray girl getting a bath and her expression of pure indignation XD (She had chronic kidney failure and a few other health issues and wasn't as good at keeping up on her grooming, and my mom wouldn't let her be fully indoors, so she had to have a bath every three weeks or so.) winwin2-67...0209fb.jpg
