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.
I know isn't he just..don't know how others thought he was ugly..I have had cats all my life

The people who considered her "ugly" are judging by the standards of Bengal cat breeding. I love the personality of Bengals but refuse to support a breeding practice which discards unwanted kittens. If you can handle a highly intelligent, high energy cat, I would highly recommend adopting a Bengal from your local rescue. People abandon them all the time for superficial reasons or because they can't handle a Bengal's energy. My girl is 15 years old now and has been with me through my teenage years and into marriage and my first child. She's a true companion and an incredibly unique cat.
Thanks for explaining. I was pretty confused. Lovely, lovely cat. I had thought about buying a pet (rather than show) cat from a breeder. I’m so glad I adopted a rescue instead. The finest cat in the world. Twitch was ‘elderly’ and sick when I rescued him. He lived 11 more years and saved my life when I stopped breathing. His good looks got his picture into a best selling cat book too. Shout out to my kitty angel! 9B8D6A57-2...7b7ce.jpeg 
Ugly?! F**k that with a big F.Bengals are freaking amazing. I would have lapped that kitty up and given him his own castle
Ugly?, anyone who thinks she is ugly is ugly on the inside, she is beautiful.
She was a perfect kitten, were all the people who thought otherwise drunk?
That is such a beautiful Bengal!! Mine looked a little bit like he'd been turned inside out as a kitten.....but as a fully grown cat he's a stunningly beautiful rosetted boy !
Ugly?! Who said that had no eyes to see this stunning beauty!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Um, I call b.s. on this one. That is a pure bred Bengal. The breeders might have thought it had features not considered perfect to the breed but doubt they said “ugly”. Also, adopt don’t shop.
That's a purebred Bengal, buy the look of it. How the heck did she end up in a shelter??
She was beautiful as a baby, and she’s beautiful now. How could anyone consider her ugly? Plus, in my eyes and heart, there is no such thing as an ugly kitten. They’re all special 💖
The ugly duckling turns into a swan... but she was gorgeous from the start! That's a special cat with the leopard spots... Bengal Kitty! . "Look no further than the Bengal, a breed that was developed by crossing small Asian Leopard Cats with domestic cats. Bengals have stunning coats that come in many striking patterns: rosettes, spots or even marbled, where one or more colors swirl into his coat's background color.May 13, 2015 8 Cat Breeds That Resemble Tigers, Leopards and Other Wild Cats ... www.vetstreet.com/our.../8-cat-breeds-that-resemble-tigers-leopards-and-other-wild-cats
I would have picked her in a heartbeat! She was a beautiful kitten to me.
UgLy????!!! No, those people are just blind, they probably have no eyes! That little kit is stunning!
I have gumbie cat in mind Her name is Jennyanydots Her coat is of the tabby kind With tiger stripes and leopard spots.... (from a poem by T. S. Eliot in "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats")
How can anyone see ugly in that kitten, They themselves had to be ugly inside
I'm gonna guess that this is not really a house cat. It looks more like one of those exotics.
Holy c**p! Somebody's pretty blind to think she's ugly. Looking at the picture of her as a kitten I would have thought she was a silver Bengal.
HOW???? There are no ugly cats! And that beauty has got bengal in her!! A very rare and expensive breed! She sure showed them!!! HA!
Even as a kitten she is gorgeous. People are clueless aren't they? hahaha! You definitely got a first choice pick there xo <3
I'm sorry, in what universe is that adorable kitty (or grown- up cat) "ugly"? Clearly she was deemed so by cold-hearted people.
How could anyone think this little fluff was ugly? Gorgeous from the biginning.
A beauty, then and now, some years ago, I was given a rescue kitten, she needed a friend, I then adopted a black kitten as the black ones are often not wanted, she filled our lives with AWESOME !!!
Where do these pictures come from? ~ I hate cats, yet i see the love festival is real, even the subtle hints here and there.

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!
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 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 <<<<

Animals deserve only kindness. So many wonderful stories of kindness.
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

If at least 10% of them are true, I buy myself a beer. Spontaneous none, anyway. And the fact a being shows too much love can even be the sign of a previous trauma, including bad treatments.
