There's no better meme than a cat meme.

We're serious, and we don't say it only because we're the internet's cat memes hub. We're the cat memes hub because cat memes are the best memes ever. Every meme is better with cats, because cats make everything better. Every meme, of whatever topic, is better because a cat is in it. It's already in a cat's nature to do the Fits & Sits, so they might as well do it with internet comedy - if they fit in the meme, they sits in the meme. And they always fit. It's just the laws of cats, we didn't invent them. But we sure are happy to live in a world that is run on cat laws. Because, again, cats make everything better.

Bonded pairs of cats should never be separated. 

People who say that cats are solitary creatures who don't feel the need to bond with anyone don't even know how wrong they are. When cats bond with someone, they bond hard. It could be us that they bond with. Cats love their humans in ways that words could never express, but their actions show it. Or it could be cats bonding with other animals, specifically other cats. In fact, such bonds are common enough that the internet has given them a name: bonded pairs. 

Bonded pairs of cats are something special. They are connected with one another on levels that we could probably never understand. But we see it - when they are together, they thrive, and when they are not, they are lethargic, sad and irritable. They need each other. And it is our duty to make sure that they stick together. Some shelters even go as far as to reject applications to adopt if the adopter is looking to separate one bonded kitty from another, even if it means that both cats stay in the shelter longer. Because it's better to be in the shelter together than anywhere else apart. 

Sometimes cats enter a full house, and that's no less wholesome than them being your first pets.

You see, adopting your first cat can happen in a multitude of ways. Whether it's a childhood cat, a weird case of finding a cat in an unexpected place (usually the courtesy of the Cat Distribution System), or planning on adopting a cute little fluffball to add to your domestic zoo of pets you have at home. But sometimes it's a surprising, unexpected CDS delivery, even if you're a self-declared dog person.

This one woman already has two dogs - and that's got to be a handful. Two doggos running the show, borking and wagging, excited and happy. But then a neighbor alerts her that, hey, you have a crying kitten under your tire! She might be a dog person, but it doesn't mean she's going to skip helping a purrfect little void in need. And, you know what? We're so proud of her. We're all cat people here, but we have a very special corner in our hearts dedicated to non-cat people who still lend a hand, give from themselves to help a cat, and maybe even turn into a cat person in the process.

In a world full of seriousness and chaos, what we need is a serving of pure silly nonsense. 

We really do mean that. We are the kind of people who try to find joy in the little things. And although some days it is harder than other days, we still make an effort. And we make an effort to bring that joy to you as well. Of course, you might find that joy in friends, in family, in doing your favorite activities and working on your hobbies, but these things are not always available right away. What is always right there for us though - the one thing that never fails to make us smile - are hilarious cat memes.

All it takes for a frown to be turned upside down is a few minutes of scrolling through silly cat memes. Or at least, that is how it works for us. It's why we keep collecting these funny cat memes for all of you guys. Because we love knowing that we're helping bring you the thing that will make you smile. And also because we just love doing it. Hey, we're allowed to get two birds with one stone, right? 

Hello….is there anybody in there? Just not if you can see me…is there anyone home? 

Pink Floyd, anyone? Have you ever felt like you were present, but not? You're looking at someone, maybe even talking, but then you're also somewhere else entirely. Where is that place? Well, maybe it's some dissociated part of you, a lost memory, an image you saw once that your brain fixated on and drips into your consciousness at some inopportune time, forcing you into a deep contrition for saying, "what?" five times when someone asks you what you want to order. Pink Floyd's 1979 Comfortably Numb resonates with dissociation in that it evokes a detached, yet vulnerable voice that sounds just like it's floating in space, and the other side of bombastic guitar work and orchestration that feels like the song is simultaneously rapaciously extending for something else. The contrast gives the track emotional power. It's dreamlike, haunting, and also powerful. 

And dissociation? It's the same – like you're detached from oneself, experiencing everything as if you're a third party watching. Floating maybe, transcended from reality, or lost in your own dream. And sometimes we look at our cats, and they look completely lost. "Not again," you think as you pet them with their sprawled eye contact, their empty countenance, and their absolute torpor. That's why this hilarious collection of dissociated cat memes lost in the cosmos is purrfect for silly weekend scrolls. Enjoy! 

Even the most adored man in the world, the "heavenly sovereign", understood there's a being much higher than him - his cat.

It's a truth shared by all cat pawrents, and our status, stature, and financial situation don't matter in acknowledging that cats are superior to us. Since the domestication of cats (or, rather, the human domestication done by cats), people saw something in them that they didn't see in other animals. Sure, dogs are loyal companions and generally cute, and yeah, birds are beautiful, but cats are something different. They don't need to demand respect to get it. It's as if they have an aura that meowgically makes everyone around them revere their feline fabulousness - even the Japanese emperor.

Cats are literally the kings and queens of our lives, which makes them sort of emperors themselves. They govern the living room, rule the bed and all comfy places around the house, and collect the treat and pet tax with meowing might. They are sovereign over their domestic kingdoms with an iron paw. And us? As humans, we're mere peasants in their world. Cats rule our lives, and we're happy to serve.

Well, that makes purrfect sense. She is the dog's cat, after all.

We're not opposed to dogs at all, in fact, we think they're adorable. They just don't fit our lifestyle as much as cats do. But one of the thing we love about dogs is that they love everyone and everything, even cats! We're not even entertaining the outdated stereotype of cats and doggos being mortal enemies, and this wholesome story purractically proves it. Buckle up, because it's quite a journey.

Banana, our stray cat, was once the head of a feral colony in the pawrent's neighborhood. After some time earning her trust, they were able to get her inside, only to discover that she was pregnant! Too weak to get spayed, they were advised by a vet to wait until after her birth to get her fixed. All the kittens went to loving homes, but no one wanted poor Banana. Kittens are easily adoptable, but a semi-feral momma cat, not so much. 

During her time at the hooman's house, her and the pawrent's doggo developed a beautiful friendship. Admittedly "not a cat person", the pawrent originally wanted to give them up for adoption, but after their doggo showed how much he missed Banana, they couldn't resist keeping her. As you'll see below, the two are as thick as thieves, often seen grooming each other and cuddling. There's nothing more heartwarming than the purrre love between two unlikely friends.

Although Banana's story is a heartwarming one, we want to remind you that there are many older cats in need of adoption in shelters just like Banana. They might not be as cute as a kitten, but they are just as loving. Give them a chance, they might just change your life.

Some cats are born just a little different than others, and that doesn't mean that there's something wrong with them.

There are many things that cats have in common. Pretty much all cats love soft and fluffy blankets. And practically all cats will try to steal food off your plate when you're not looking. And essentially all cats will have zoomies in the middle of the night and run right across your face at full speed - at least once in their lives. But even though they have a lot in common, all cats are still unique in their own ways - from the way that they behave to the way that they look. 

Some cats go through all kinds of experiences that leave these cats looking unique. Other cats are born a little chunky and remain that way, no matter how much you try to change that. Some cats are born huge and don't stop growing - and they're not some special breed or something, they're just really large regular cats. And then there are tiny kittens that turn into just-as-tiny cats. That happens too. As long as your kitty is healthy, then you should have no cause for concern. You just have a forever kitten. And that's pretty cute.
