Humans have liked having cats around for literally thousands of years. They have tolerated us for at least that long. After all, they keep out mice and in return, we pamper them nonstop for their entire lives.
We’ve gathered some pictures of our furry, feline friends being downright adorable. So get comfortable as you scroll through, add some little treats for your cats to your shopping list, upvote the cutest examples here and be sure to add your own thoughts, stories and ideas to the comments section down below.

We Adopted Klaus Today! He Has 1 Eye, Half Of Each Ear, And A Partially Amputated Tail, But We Think He’s A Perfect Handsome Baby
Give him love, and dignity. Care for him. And bless you for showing compassion.

Two Days After Coming Home From The Shelter, And She Hasn't Stopped Hugging Me Since
After 23 Years Together I Think We’re At The End And I Can’t Stand It
My old gray girl made it to two months shy of her 20th birthday. It's never easy, no matter how old (or young) they are when they cross the Bridge. We lose a part of ourselves forever. Grief is just love that has lost its home - which is why it hurts for so long. I hope OP found a measure of peace. Kitty's name was Dusty - now that we know she existed, she will live on inside our hearts and minds forever.
I Found This Little, Dying Fellow On The Street. I’d Never Had A Cat Before, But I Couldn’t Just Leave Him There. So I Took Him With Me — First Home, Then To The Vet. And… It’s Been Almost Two Years Since I Got Myself A Loving, Four-Legged Friend

Well, I thought all of my 7 cats had pretty rad names, but Wink-182 beats all my cats' names to hell. Her name is the best name EVER XD

This Is Lady. She’s 21 And Wears Tiny Sweaters
Believe me, if a cat didn't want to wear an outfit, you will be told in no uncertain terms. And you would probably be minus several digits & possibly need to get a blood transfusion to make up for what you lost during said clothing battle.

OP says she's a shelter kitty, so her fur texture could be a de novo mutation or kitty could have some Rex or LaPerm in her ancestry!

My Kitties (Brothers, 10 Months) Are So Connected.... They Always Do The Same Things! So Cuuuuute
Due to the nature of how cat reproduction works, a female (queen) might mate with several males during her estrus phase. This means that each egg could be fertilized by a DIFFERENT male! So, kittens in the same litter - born at the same time from the same pússy's pússy (...sorry, could not resist) could have different dads - making them technically half-siblings genetically even though they were gestated together and born in the same litter! That is probably why one brother is colorpoint and the other is tabby with white :) I currently have two teeny stray kittens that I adopted (my dog found them in my backyard) and one is a brown tabby and the other is a tuxedo. They likely have different dads. I plan on DNA testing them to see! :D

Found The Perfect Chair For My Sweet Boy And He Actually Sits In It 😭
My local charity shop has two of those, exactly the same! Last time I mentioned that here I was asked well why didn't you buy them and adopt two cats to sit on them? I'm not allowed to adopt a cat (or dog). And last time I went back there the chairs were marked NOT FOR SALE anyway. So much for that! 🪑🐈🐈⬛

Adventure Cats are the best cats! You have a buddy that you can take almost everywhere! (Pictured is me with my Adventure Cat, 9-year-old Kohl!) However, I wish OP had a harness and leash on their tux D: Adventure Cats should always be harness/leash-trained, or kept in a backpack carrier - this is for their safety! kohl1-6885...5877c2.jpg
Stray Baby Found On Bridge, Before & After Flea Bath
Oh, but the little one will be so much more comfortable afterwards without those (literal) bloodsuckers all over them! Kittens can actually become anemic (and sometimes die) if they have a severe flea infestation :(

I Got My Cat A Little Kitten So That He Wouldn’t Be Alone And It Fixed His Litter Issues!
When you have to be the mentor for someone younger, you tend to clean up your act to be the best example you can be. You realize you have to grow up, for them. So, when this older guy was teaching the youngster how to “cat”, he corrected his litter issues to teach the kid the right way to use the cat box.
The Kitten Has Grown Up, But Still Likes To Sleep With His Mom. Do Everyone's Kittens Do The Same Thing?
Personally I have never given birth to a kitten, but my human children had grown out of that stage by the ages of 5 and 9 respectively.
