50 Hilarious Cat Memes That Capture Feline Attitude Perfectly, Courtesy Of This FB Page (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertI consider my cat to be a little genius (sometimes an evil genius), but he hasn’t yet mastered the art of using the internet. I run his Instagram account for him, and I always have to correct the spelling and grammar in messages he types while walking across my keyboard.
But if he could use the internet just like the rest of us, I think he would be a huge fan of memes. And until I can start sending him some, I’ll be compiling a list from the "Memes I Wish I Could Tag My Cat In" Facebook group. We’ve taken a trip to this online community and gathered some of their most adorable and hilarious posts below, pandas. So be sure to upvote the pics that your furry friends would appreciate, and keep reading to find conversations with Daniel Warren-Cummings, Central Behavior Officer at Cats Protection, and certified cat behavior consultants and co-founders of Cat Behavior Alliance, Rita Reimers and Linda Hall!

I'm starting to believe our building's 2 pet limit is saving me from a lot of problems.
My last boy passed right before we signed a new lease this year. As long as we keep it at two cats it was cool. My mom ,this past week, reminded me we only have one cat now. We can't afford another cat. We will probably find a way to have another cat soon.

If you’re a cat owner, you know all too well how hilarious your kitty’s behavior can be. Cats can be graceful acrobats one moment and clumsy sleepyheads the next. They can be adorable cuddle bugs during the night and dangerous predators while watching birds through the window. And although they’ll never know about the group, the Memes I Wish I Could Tag My Cat In community is all about celebrating these special little creatures.
This Facebook group, which has amassed an impressive 1.5 million members, has a simple mission: “Post memes you wish you could tag your cat in.” And clearly, there are plenty of funny pics out there that people want to share with their furry friends, as there have been 238 new posts in the group today! We’re also big fans of this community here at Bored Panda, so it isn’t the first time we’ve featured a selection of their best memes. So whether you’re a cat parent or not, we hope you get a kick out of these adorable photos!
I can absolutely see this cat going into battle on a dragon with a gargoyle familiar.
Even if I summon some 🥷🏽 🧅 🥷🏽, but maybe this shows their journey over the rainbow bridge, which must inevitably be made at some point...we can only accompany them to where the bridge begins, but they have to make it to the other side without us...😔 🌈 🐾
Omg look at the pretty kitty with the rainbow you made my crappy day!
This made me feel better as i haven't been veru happy today
please note that this comment does not in any way mean I don't like the meme—i love the meme, but is that image ai? If it isn't i'm totally shocked that there's not a buttload of blood everywhere from putting the shirt on that cat XD
My cat Wintressia loved wearing clothes/costumes XD It just depends on the cat. Win knew she got extra attention from humans when she had clothes on, so she enjoyed wearing them. I used to buy holiday-themed costumes meant for small dogs, and every holiday, I'd take pics of Win in the associated costume. We would then use those photos on my family business's advertisements in the local paper XD So, tl;dr it really just depends on the cat. Here's a photo of Win in a shirt and socks! XD win10-66ce...447796.png
To learn more about what makes cats so special, we reached out to Daniel Warren-Cummings, Central Behavior Officer at Cats Protection.
"Cats are special because they’re a conundrum," he shared. "They’re independent but affectionate; they’re perceived as easier pets but still require work; they spend so much time sleeping but then burst into frenetic activity; they like to be fussed but not too much sometimes."
"Overall, what makes cats so special is that they are experts at being cats," Daniel continued. "For thousands of years, they’ve evolved alongside humans and yet have retained most of their innate behavior. What I love most about them is how every cat has a different personality. I also love that they like the simple things in life. Nothing makes my cat happier than rubbing her cheeks on a TV remote or book and having a fuss."
We have a cat named Thor and we used a big box with packing materials to make a Castle GreyThor. The little goober loves it. It has different levels and he's in there all the time.
I have a tuxedo cat that doesn't want to in a box. Small, large, or just right: no way. Cats wants 1. On my lap 2. Where I sat one second ago 3. Nothing to do with lowly servants. Stupid cat.
also add that a Bark box delivery is for all the pets, dogs get the toys and treats, cats get the box, win win
From a different site: the cat's litter died, and she was spayed. But she was depressed, so when they found the baby...
1: excuse me what is this tiny thing?! 2: oh its a baby you can't have him!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next we asked Daniel about some of the funniest behavior he's ever observed in cats.
"Cats are endlessly peculiar, and their odd behavior can keep owners entertained for hours. From surprise acrobatics to always knowing when someone has opened a laptop, there’s never a dull moment with cats, and you will often find yourself bursting out laughing," the expert says.
"Some cat owners will have seen their cat chirping when they see birds or rodents - which can look like the cat is trying to talk to them. We don’t know for certain why they do it, but one theory is that chattering could be a display of excitement - a surge of adrenaline caused by seeing prey they want to catch but can’t get to," he continued.
"My cat has ‘hunted’ branches from a bush - who’s to say whether she knocked them off or they were already on the ground? She came running into the house with the small branch in her mouth like she had caught something exciting," Daniel shared. "Needless to say, she was immediately bored of it as soon as it was dropped in the house."
Cats are the ultimate solipsists, by their nature they do not believe they can do anything wrong.
That's because cats don't do anything wrong ever. They are perfect and always right.
What's funny is that one comment got through BP censorship by adding an umlaut
Except when the cats do something stupid. Then they avoid eye contact try to act as if nothing happened.
No thinking needed. He'll show you the Wikipedia page about it.
Load More Replies...As far as whether or not cats have senses of humor and would enjoy internet memes, Daniel says, "It's very unlikely, as a lot of memes and a lot of cat content on social media is actually not that kind to cats."
"Often it can show them in states of fear or discomfort at worst, or heavily humanize them and show them as evil and conniving," he explained. "If cats could understand memes and social media culture, they may well be sad or hurt at how they are portrayed a lot of the time. On a more practical note, not having opposable thumbs would make scrolling on a phone really difficult, so I don’t think they’d be into it even if they could understand it."
My cat's name is Kilian but I call him a noodle baby. Now I feel obligated to make him a chicken hat for Halloween
That was my very first thought too! He’ll be so pleased!
Load More Replies...So it's not just mine who are... special... like that?! Interesting...
My cat digs in his litter box with increasing hostility if I haven’t scooped in more than eight hours.
My cat has a small litter tote within a larger tote to contain the litter stuff. The look of ecstasy on her face while she's repeatedly scratching the wall of the larger tote is worth the enduring the noise echoing through the house.
Mine too. Luckily the landlord doesn't care.when we leave they are tearing the house down. The house is like 120years old so crumbling down
Load More Replies...I got a covered litter box because 1 of our cats was really bad about throw the litter out of the box not anymore. The top snaps on & has a door/flap that swings both ways that 1 of them didn't like so I took it off.
Load More Replies...The major problems with enclosed litter box housing is that the cat will not endure the smell of their own pee. If they take issue with the box, they can take up peeing anywhere or somewhere special. The other is that reused litter, basically shaking out the dry litter can still retain soiled pieces. Then you know what the cat is doing next... Be careful spending all that money up front.
We made big lidded totes into litter boxes because they kept tipping the regular ones over. Now when they scratch on the side, it sounds like a new album 'bout to drop. BaDum BaDum BaDum sssshhhhh
We also asked Daniel if he could share some advice for anyone looking to welcome a new feline into their family. "Taking care of any pet is a big responsibility," he noted. "It's important to think carefully about whether a cat will fit in with your lifestyle before you get one."
"Here are some things to consider: They will need time to settle in. It will be a big and stressful change for them, and every cat will adjust at their own pace," the expert says. "For confident cats, it could be a few hours, but for more nervous cats, it could take weeks. It’s normal for cats to hide away a lot when they first come home, so don’t expect them to be playful or cuddly right away. Leave them alone until they are ready to approach you in their own time, and make sure you give them somewhere to hide and get up high."
You are unique and beautiful! ❤️ Don't let anyone take away your happiness!
who said that? tell 'em to step outside for a sec, i just wanna talk...
That is a very self-restrained orange kitty. My younger cat would have snatched that baked good off of that plate and scarfed it down before I could take a single photo XD
😆 Also, pancake looks like that baby tiger cartoon....too lazy to look up. Daniel, maybe. 🤔
My cat doesn't chase the dot anymore, she has figured where it is coming from. Instead of the dot she looks at our hands now. That laser toy is not of any use.
This guy looks like a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Enlightenment? It's hard to say.
Daniel also says it's important to keep a new cat inside for a few weeks, even if they seem ready to explore their new territory right away. "This will give them time to feel safe and become familiar with their new home. They will also make it smell like them by rubbing their pheromones around and will be more likely to return once they do go outside," he noted.
And be sure to have a scratching post for your kitties. "Scratching is a natural behavior for cats, so they’ll need something to get their claws into. Cats who go outdoors may find trees and fence posts to scratch but, if you want to protect your sofas, table legs, carpets and wallpaper, it’s a good idea to provide them with a scratching post indoors too," Daniel added.
Daniel also noted that not all cats want to have a feline friend. "One thing that many people don’t realize about cats is that they don’t need (or particularly like) other cats. They usually prefer to have their own territory all to themselves so, if you think you might want more than one cat, it’s better to get siblings or an already bonded pair instead of introducing a second cat later on," he explained.
He also noted that all new cat owners should be prepared to fall hopelessly in love with their pet. "From the first head bump, purr or lap snuggle, you will be absolutely smitten with your new kitty," Daniel shared. "You won’t know how you ever lived without them!"
It's not that hard. Cat sees chair; cat destroys chair.

Setting fires to get treats may SEEM like a great idea, but I assure you it is not.
Load More Replies...Considering my little fattie has cat boobs, sits like a bulldog and literally has such a fat head and neck you can't grab anything to scruff her, I'd say she's one level off the chart.🤦🏼♀️ She's like trying to control a half filled waterbed 😅
Time to put her on a diet if she isn't already on one XD She'll live longer!
Load More Replies...the cat looking intently be like: this is ur fault hooman, or should I say way 2 much of o soft can opener
"This is where you are now. It's unhealthy. Beautiful, yes. Definitely more to love. But we wanna work on loving you longer now."
Finally, Daniel added, "It’s great to see that the internet and the world is full of cat lovers and the community is growing more and more each day. However, what we need more are people who are advocating for good cat welfare, particularly online. People engaging should ensure they aren’t sharing content where the cat is distressed, scared or in conflict with other cats."
Oh I hope your cat isn't like my sons cat was. She got really sick all of a sudden with pancreatitis puked and had diarrhea. She would get a little better but never fully recovered and kept losing wt. She was his cat but I got stuck with her when he bought a house because his wife didn't want her. I made him make the decision to have her put to sleep because she was losing weight and poor baby was not herself. She is buried in the edge of the woods behind my house beside another cat that was 18 when he died.

I squeezed under the dresser to do it. Let's see if you regret skipping the gym now, Chad.
My old girl has arthritis and can’t groom herself as much as she used to. A bath every couple of weeks helps with the dandruff and keeps her fur looking nicer
Load More Replies...I call BS. A cat that's "afraid of baths" wouldn't be this relaxed while submerged in water, no matter the amount of rubber duckies.
If you have to bathe your cat, I've actually found that showering with them can make it much less stressful and easier. They're semi-arboreal creatures and being up high makes them feel more secure. Combined with not usually being into swimming and being placed into standing water on the ground isn't comfortable for them. If you hold them and just move in and out of the water as needed to dampen and then rinse, most of the cats I've bathed have been much more comfortable and stayed calmer, making it an easier process. (Source: I work with animals and have had many special needs kitties over the years)
Why isn't it good for cats to bathe? Is it just the domestic cats? I used to work at animal themed park and spent many hours looking at tigers who absolutely loved playing in the pool and waterfall. They even have "tiger-proofed" beach balls.
Most cats hate water, tigers are an exception. Cats in general keep themselves clean, unless they're too fat/old/sick. If a cat doesn't like water it's just cruel to force them.
Load More Replies...Was using these memes as a base for cat alastor, looks like we got a Lucifer one!
We also got in touch with certified cat behavior consultants and co-founders of Cat Behavior Alliance, Rita Reimers and Linda Hall, to hear their thoughts on memes we can send our cats. First, we wanted to know about some of the funniest behavior they've observed in their own kitties.
"I had a cat that liked to hide behind a door and jump out at anyone that went by; other cats, people, it didn't matter," Rita shared. "One of Linda's daughter Nikki's cats was a grumpy orange cat named Tiger who did not like other people. When Nikki was moving, 4 large men who were trying to move the bed were scared of Tiger because he was hissing at them and would not let them touch the bed."
I am doing it everyday I am working from home, so now my cats come to me and complain loudly if I am in a meeting instead of resting...
My older cat (Kohl, 8-year-old void) sleeps on my legs every night. I take at least one photo of her flopped over my legs before I go to sleep myself. I'm thinking of publishing a coffee-table book that is just 365 photos of Kohl sleeping on my legs, one from each night for a year XD
As far as whether or not cats have a sense of humor, Rita says, "I think cats are very playful, and it's in their nature to romp and play and tease other cats and people. I do think they know they are being funny."
The cat expert also revealed which memes she thinks kitties would enjoy. "Any meme where a dog looks silly and foolish would probably delight a cat," Rita told Bored Panda.
And if you couldn't tell from this list already, Rita added, "Cats are very social creatures who crave to be where we are and join in the fun!"
I mean.... some company makes fake testicle implants for dogs (Neuticles) for the benefit of owners who apparently can't handle having their male dog NOT have a gigantic pendulous manly ballsack. XD Having had many, many male dogs, all of which were neutered, I can assure everyone that the male dog does NOT notice nor care that they don't have testicles any more post-neuter XD
Load More Replies...I'm not sure that idea's going to work the way you think it's going to work.
Yup. Every single night with Shiloh, kneading my head in the process. It's surprising what you miss.
One of my cat just bites a chunk of my hair and pulls, no cleaning done. She does it to the other cats so I feel like one of the cats.

Recently had some workers fixing some stuff at our house and my mom wanted to offer them some tea and biscuits in the afternoon but the only biscuits we had at home were what the dogs love eating (not dog biscuits, ones made for people but loved by the dogs). So she made my dad go buy some other biscuits to serve the workers (and bring more for the dogs!)
Just curious. Human biscuits are not good for dogs: sugar, chocolate, raisins ... What kind of biscuits are those?

I keep seeing pics of people letting their dogs lick their face and mouth. THAT is gross.
It grosses me out seeing it. Lick their mouth?!?! Just why? I get headbonks but no kisses. And for everyone who complains about my preference, I do turn elsewhere rather than watch, most likely back to my book.

I'd appreciate that. I was rather happy when my senior cat, while barfing off the bathroom counter, managed to hit the wastebasket. I didn't even mind sacrificing a few layers of the TP roll that she grazed in passing.
Load More Replies...It's always either on the bed, or while in motion so she can make sure she gets vomit on the floor of every room in the house.
Loverboy always makes for the bathroom if he can. Henri just stands there and lets it fly.

My cats heads don't smell like anything. :(. I want a Japanese Sunshine cat.
I just wonder how many ghost and goblin stories have been the result of someone seeing this in the past and not realizing it’s just the cat getting into the flour. Because if I walked into a darkened room and saw this, it would scare the s**t out of me until I turned on the lights and realized what it really is.
And by the time you got the lights on, the cat would have moved, and would have cleaned up before coming to you again.
Load More Replies...I yelled "can you be quiet" at my cats while I was in a zoom call last week...I forgot to mute myself. My coworkers asked if I had company and I had to explain that I do, indeed, yell at my cats like they are human.
Agreed. Looks more like a litter bowl... Considering both my kittos tend to use the corners of the litter box the most, I can understand why this guy missed.
Load More Replies...Litter boxes need to be way bigger than the cat, and preferably somewhat private. We had one upstairs and one in the basement and the cat always chose downstairs and when my vet explained why, I felt so dumb. Who wants to poop in public?
Yes! This is why I have three huge litterboxes in various places around the house XD (I have two cats.) I don't put the lids on them, though - as I read a vet's article saying that, because cats have such a better sense of smell than we do, putting a lid on their litterbox would be like forcing us to poop in a closed phonebooth - or like the port-a-potties. You cannot escape the stench XD So, three unlidded giant boxes (Kat Kave brand) and I scoop twice a day XD It's astounding how much waste TWO small cats produce! >_>;
Load More Replies...Just be glad it's not explosive diarrhea. Opened up a Wal-Mart bathroom stall once and saw a disaster all over the toilet and walls. I have since vowed to avoid public toilets as much as I can.
Somewhat agreed, particularly if no effort is made to help get them under control... Although I have my own excessively fat baby and all my efforts to control her diet led to my older, fitter cat, who is not at all food motivated, losing weight he didn't have to lose while she stayed the same sloppy jigglypuff 😕 .. I'm convinced she has an eating disorder brought on by being found on the streets at 4 weeks old without a mama feeding her, so she hoovers as many calories as possible as though she doesn't know when the next meal is coming. She also nurses on everything from fingers to laptops... Mind you, she's 10 years old now. 🤷🏼♀️ Her only treat is her "salad" - catnip. 😂
Load More Replies...Poor chonky baby, way over fed. I have a gravity feeder for my cat and she has never weighed more than 6.5 lbs. I swear that floofy ball is 4 lbs of hair... She's our little Himalayan girl.
Haha my cat went and pooped in a pile of sand that was piled up outside by some workers fixing some issues at our house. My dad had to go and clean it out before they found out. 🤣 Now I’m supposed to supervise her when she goes on bathroom breaks outside. (Edit: clarification!)
I couldn't help but read that as "pooped in a pile of sand workers"... The mental image was priceless 😂
Load More Replies...Ugh this is my Siamese EVERY. DAMN. DAY. I can't even use normal trash bags and he even steals plastic buried in the trash! 🤦🏼♀️ He's also quite fond of plotting elaborate heists to steal phone chargers, hair ties, or any other hidden objects his kitty heart desires 😅
Mine used to knock down glasses to chew on the shards. He also chewed on my glasses (the kind that goes on your head) hard enough to leave teeth marks in the glass. I also can't leave anything thin made out metal out since he chews on that too. Hair ties also has to be hidden, but thankfully phone cords are fine nowadays.

So QUIT trying to wheedle us into trying them. We’re grownups and we know what we can and can’t eat. If we say NO, that is a whole sentence all by itself that requires no explanation, so STFU, leave us alone, and continue burning your taste buds off your tongue with wild abandon.

Now, if the Teletubbies had been Telekitties instead, I might’ve been able to watch it when babysitting kids who loved watching it on a continuous loop. Teletubbies, on the other hand, got on my nerves so bad I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t because I was babysitting.
