I firmly believe the best way to turn a great day into a purrfect one is to spend some time with criminally cute cats. No offense to all you doggos out there (believe me, I love you all, too), but cats are awesome.

But don't worry if you don't have an adorable cat or two by your side at this very moment. Bored Panda created a list of wholesome pictures with kitties to keep you company. Share the ones you enjoy the most with your friends to brighten up their day, keep scrolling, and remember to upvote your favorite funny cats!

No matter what a cat does - whether it’s sitting in a box or stretching - it remains photogenic. Maybe it's the catnip, I don't know. The point is, they can't take a bad cat photo. Whether they're pooping in the litter box or munching on a mouse they just caught, their expression is spot-on. Some felines seem far too serious, others look cuter than Puss in Boots, while still others make us laugh with their playful antics. It’s no wonder that the Internet is filled to the brim with funny posts showing off the passion for silly cats.

Whether cats are mega chonkers or kitty cats that like to dance dance dance, I think we can agree that we adore them all equally and would gladly bring them back home to live with us.

In the United States, more households have puppers than mousers. However, more cats are kept as pets. Ruff-ly 70 million dogs and 75 million cats live in the US. Meanwhile, global feline population estimates vary wildly because of the millions and millions of feral cats that roam free. They have absolutely no intention of staying still long enough to take part in a survey. Overall, an estimated 220 to 600 million cats live on planet Earth.

A tabby’s life can seem like a never-ending holiday, what with the amount of time they spend napping between meals. Cats truly are notorious sleepy-heads. They snooze 12 to 16 hours every single day. Meanwhile, older cats sleep even more, sometimes for up to 20 hours a day! That’s bound to turn anyone green with envy.

Here’s a fun fact for all you Harry Potter and Crookshanks fans out there: hairballs that cats regurgitate are called trichobezoars. Unfortunately, unlike in the Wizarding World universe, real-life bezoars don’t work as antidotes to poison and will make you ill. Don’t eat them.

The one on the right looks like he already knows how he's going to run this household.

We have a cat my sister brought home from petco's adoption area, she was returned twice. She spent the first two years hidden away and pretty much hides half the day still but she is a love bug now.

Who could send it back because it was too playful? Whoever they were don’t deserve pets.

Maybe the owner was too old or too disabled to deal with a playful cat I know my mother's playful puppy is running her through the rapids for sure

God forbid a pet is "too playful" and not just another house ornament

The cat wasn't too playful. The original adopters were just too dull.

There is no such think as a too playful cat. Sounds like those people have no business owning a cat. Glad this one found a proper family.

The words "too playful" should never be in a pet owners owner's vocabulary!! I'm glad she got the home she deserved

It is sad that she was returned, but let's not put too much pressure on the family that did that. It is possible they were older people who did not have pet experience and expected a cat just to sleep peacefully most of the day and snuggle with them. It is possible they just did not have enough energy to keep up with her and in that case they did a good thing returning her so she can find a better home, instead of confining her to a home that could not give her the environment she needed.

Honestly, too playful? What did they want a half dead cat?

She looks like she’s assessing your mood so that she can either match it or buoy it, depending on what she sees on your face.

Too playful? I'd like to have seen that. There's no such thing.

Thank you and your dad for rescuing this sweet guy! Cats are very healing when it comes to depression and anxiety.. They JUST KNOW what we need and when we need them! I'm happy for y'all and that there is a cat to get you through the rough times!

Our female cat (Little Miss Adventure) was listed by the shelter as a "cozy cat", which means low energy lap sitter. Turns out that was the pregnancy hormones talking. Once she was spayed she turned into a high energy play machine. Our other cat has been very patient with her.

She is gorgeous. I’m so glad she found a loving home with you, where she’s loved and accepted for being the sweet playful girl that she is💖

I can understand that. The reason I like cats is because you don't need to pay attention to them 24 hours a day. They're not needy like dogs.

This would be a fantastic tattoo! Wait until the cat poops, maybe he/she got some glitter in his/her mouth too :)
