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.
The longer you look at their expressions, the deeper the photograph becomes.
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.
That picture is so cute, I love how they're just sitting peacefully together
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.
Now there is some intense snuggling. I suspect it will be juuuust fine.
The one on the right looks like he already knows how he's going to run this household.
This is a... what is it? :D I mean it's super cute, but It looks like a Star Wars bear :D
"And this is how you annoy them by getting stuck in the window when they buy you chicken instead of slamon, son"
my cat does same to me very often. Each time is absolutely precious and makes me feel so loved.
Returned for being too playful?? I'm glad that little fella found a better home!
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.

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
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.
ack, 'no such thing'. This site won't let me edit my comments.
Load More Replies...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.

Load More Replies...what a lot of c**p to playful goodness what a lame excuse they didnt deserve the baby
Ugh, people, let's return this animal for being TOO PLAYFUL!!!!???
people find the lamest excuses to return pets.. i hope there will be a special place in Hell for people like that.
Load More Replies...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.
Their abdolutley loss is your TOTALLY WONDERFUL HEAVENLY GAIN!!
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.
Sounds like the first people were to intolerant! How could a cat be to playful!
LOoks like she is waiting for the perfect moment. I think cats are comical. Beautiful.
Take him home and keep him inside. And that goes for the cat as well.
This would be a fantastic tattoo! Wait until the cat poops, maybe he/she got some glitter in his/her mouth too :)

I talk to every cat, england or poland. We go to see my dad in poland and go to the seaside- bet you I bother every cat. My dad and my husband just gave up and roll with it. It's gonna happen anyway lol
Load More Replies...I pat a cat for the first time in over 20 years this weekend. Went away with the family to a farm and there was a cat that seemed to like our cabin and would sit outside all the time. He would also try and get inside the cabin but he isn’t allowed and I am allergic to cats. He was a gorgeous looking cat and had such a beautiful temperament. I was umming and ahhing on whether I should risk patting him. I couldn’t resist I gave him a little pat then ran to the kitchen to wash my hands thoroughly. I usually don’t see myself as a cat person for a few reasons and that is because of my allergies, and it also pisses me off when I see cats roaming, cats coming into my yard and dig up the garden to s**t, they kill wildlife and leave half eaten corpses around etc. Bit the fact is the cats are doing what comes naturally to them. The problem isn’t the cats, the problem is the owners. My judgement of cats themselves is misguided.
*Feral* cats in Australia are a huge problem. They have and are devastating wildlife. I have taken "stray" cats in for TNR. before that became a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_omFE7Etc <<<<

Every one of these cats are adorable. No matter how smol, chonky, fluffy or weird. We don't deserve cats in this world, but we are blessed to have them <3

I was having a crappy day until I read this, now I feel a little better. I want a kitty now xx
I would love to get a cat, but unfortunately my sister is highly allergic to them, so if I got one, she couldn't come over to visit and since cat hair gets stuck to, like, everything, I couldn't go over to visit her, either. And as much as I love cats, I love my sister more
