This kitty conundrum is purrfectly complicated. A 30-year-old man moved in with his girlfriend of three months, only to discover her beloved six-year-old cat is more of a night owl than he bargained for. Despite trying every trick in the litter box, earplugs, white noise, closed doors, even the couch, the cat's late-night zoomies and unexpected face claws have left him sleep-deprived and at his wit's end. He floated the idea of rehoming the feline to her parents' more spacious house, but his girlfriend took it as a catastrophic betrayal, accusing him of being heartless and trying to control her life.

Now things are tense, and the guy feels like he's competing with a furball for love, rest, and sanity. He didn't give an ultimatum, but he was honest that the current situation is unsustainable. While no one wants to come between a woman and her cat, he's stuck in a tailspin — trying to balance his well-being without being labeled the villain.

In recent years, I, like many others, have pretty much completely fallen off the Marvel bandwagon and stopped watching all the Disney+ shows, the spin-offs, even most of the theatrical releases like Madame Web and Brave New World. Whatever your reasoning is, whether it’s because there’s simply too much stuff to get through, because the original gang we all loved is long gone, or you’re just burnt out on superheroes, tons of other people are in the same boat as you.

For me, I’ve been wondering so much lately what it is for me. Why don’t I like Marvel anymore? When Marvel hit it big and came out with The Avengers in 2012, I was 13, and boy howdy did Marvel take over my teens. I was pretty damn obsessed. I had Tumblr posts and fan art saved on my iPhone 5, would talk about all the movies and superheroes with my friends, see every movie on opening day like my life depended on it, all that typically teen fan type stuff.

So what happened? Is it that I’m getting older, or did Marvel content just genuinely get worse and worse as the years went on? Is it some of column A and some of column B?

It was just about right after having seen Thunderbolts that I was really thinking about this question a lot, when a video came up in my recommended section on YouTube.

The video was called “The Lost Art of Marvel’s Phase One,” and was part of a series called Detail Diatribe from Overly Sarcastic Productions. If you’re on the internet and also a nerd, you probably already know who Overly Sarcastic Productions is. While I had heard of them plenty and even seen a mythology video from them once or twice, I never really got into them.

But how could I resist a two-hour video essay over Phase One of Marvel, the phase that pretty much changed not just my life but society as a whole? So I took a chance on it, and immediately loved it. So much so that I started watching OSP’s other superhero videos, and now I’m here to recommend them to you.

They put out “The Lost Art of Marvel’s Phase One” about three weeks ago, and I would recommend starting with this one, like I did. In it, they talk about what made everyone fall in love with Marvel in the first place. Are we all just wearing rose colored glasses and remember them being better than they were? Especially for people like me who were younger when they came out, is our nostalgia blinding us into unearned fondness of these movies?

While it is almost two hours long, I genuinely don’t feel like any part of this video essay drags or is boring, as they talk about so many different things and keep their points moving along consistently. They go over the characters specifically of course, like Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, even Hulk, but they also go over how well the creators did at weaving together the overarching narrative that comes together in The Avengers.

This video made me realize, you know what, fuck yeah I liked Marvel. Shit was good. Like genuinely good! There’s so much to love about Phase One, and so much to love about our original group of super pals! I’m not ashamed that I liked, and am still fond of, Phase One. I hope this video inspires some of that in you, too.

After loving this video so much, I of course had to watch another one of their Detail Diatribe videos called “Captain America The Winter Soldier is the Best MCU Movie” which came out only two weeks ago. Why? Because I have been saying that exact thing for years. But, they can explain it better than I can, so you should listen to their video over it:

This one is also two hours long, but when you’ve been saying FOR YEARS that The Winter Soldier is the best Marvel movie, those two hours really fly by. This one is such an important analysis of not just Captain America as a character, but also Black Widow, and the relationship between these two throughout the film. It also talks about the importance of Hydra and how this movie is a damn good political thriller/espionage movie that I feel like we did not know Marvel was capable of at the time!

Moving away from Marvel, I just listened to their Detail Diatribe over Superman a couple days ago, and since Superman is my favorite superhero, I want to share it with y’all!

Superman is my favorite and I’m sick and tired of people saying he’s boring! He’s not boring! Y’all don’t understand the art, and most importantly, heart, of Superman, and hopefully this video will make you see how awesome he is. And you guessed it, it’s almost two hours.

I have absolutely been loving these videos (and a couple others, such as their Doctor Strange one) and I hope you do, too.

My parents were being killjoys by saying that they didn’t understand why I’d spend two hours watching something like this, and that you can just say “The Winter Soldier is the best MCU movie” without needing to talk about it for two hours, but I wholeheartedly disagree! So I’ll keep watching my two-hour videos and keep recommending them to you. You’re welcome.

On a real note, though, if the idea of sitting there and watching a two-hour video is daunting or seems like too much, I’ll go ahead and tell you I didn’t actually watch a single second of any of these videos. I only listened to them. I listened to them in the shower, on my drive to the store, while I was folding clothes, etc.

You don’t have to sit perfectly still and have your eyes glued to the screen the entire time to watch these videos, y’know? You can still enjoy the points they’re making and think about the ideas they bring up without feeling like it’s a chore to sit there and watch two hours of PowerPoint slides.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy what OSP has to say about these characters and movies we’ve all loved at some point in our lives. I know I did!

Do you have a favorite superhero? Which Marvel movie is your favorite? What do you think of all the shows they’ve come out with? Let me know in the comments, and have a great day!

-AMS

At this later point in the week, worry, woe and strife are at the top of your emotional list. It is not your fault, after all you are not your own boss and the person that is has very little concern for your well-being. But that does not mean that you must succumb to your environment. If anything, it is a call to action and one that you must answer willingly. The call is to jump into a list much like this of chaotically cute cat memes.

With the power of those memes, you will be able to fend off any foe who may unwittingly come your way and put them in their place quicker than a cat can slap a toddler who has gone too far. This list is full of feisty, fluffy feline energy and will hopefully inspire you to take life by the horns and ride the rising tide of terror that has been building in your soul since the beginning of the work week.

Cats are fickle creatures. If you've ever met even a single cat, you know this one purrfectly irrefutable fact. One second, they love you, and the next, they can't stand you. One day, they can't get enough of their food, and the next, they think it's garbage and refuse to eat it. Some cats even choose new pawrents, despite giving them all the love they could pawssibly ask for. It's not a fun thing to have happen, especially when all you want is to love and be loved by your cat.

After adopting a pregnant cat, the kind purrson in this story was ready to be a grandma to kittens and hooman mom to their new cat. But upon arrival, the kitty had other plans. Once she gave birth, the feline momma actually chose their roommate as the "trusted parent" and kept moving her kittens to the roommate's room. Naturally, this caused a bit of tension between the two. Read through this whole mommy mixup below!

Because they’re pretty, and the US is a mess in ways that will take a lot to essay, and I just got back from travel and apparently caught a bit of con crud in Phoenix and so am kind of low energy at the moment. So: Look! Flowers! I figure the rest of the Internet will catch you up on the rest of it. Here, have a bit of pretty.

Cats are incredibly strong creatures. They may look fluffy and tiny and adorable, but they are resilient as heck. We have seen cats live through some insane things. We have seen a cat fall 5 stories out of a window and make a full recovery. We have seen a cat with a strange lump on its head live a long and happy life with its owner despite its disability. We've seen a kitten born with "wobbly cat syndrome" create just as much chaos and shenanigans as any other cat, without even noticing that anything was wrong with her. 

Maybe it's really true then that cats have nine lives, because miracles seem to happen to them all the time. It doesn't even surprise us that this beautiful ginger feline made it longer than he was told he was going to make it. Because miracles. And also because he's orange, and everyone knows that orange cats don't waste their braincell on listening to veterinarians. Pssh.

Cat sitting can be a pretty funny job sometimes. Because cats are funny, and they do all kinds of funny things are new and interesting humans. Now, we know that cat sitters, for the most part, are doing their best. And yet, as cat owners ourselves, we can understand why there might be a little paranoia… on either side. We understand why some cat owners leave "kitty cheat sheets" for their cat sitters, with very detailed instructions. And we understand why, in an attempt to decipher a cat's meows, a cat sitter might send the owner an array of texts, both worried and curious. 

So yes, cat sitting cat be pretty funny, but this… this was not simply funny. This was accidentally funny. Because it seems that the cat might have chosen a new human in their cat sitter, and although we understand why the owner would be upset by that, her reaction - her demand to take the cat to literal therapy - yeah, yeah, that's a bit funny.

We love cats. We also know you love cats dearly. It's a safe bet once you're already here - you're at least a cat enthusiast, if not a fully-fledged feline fanatic fan or a crazy cat lady. So we're all in this cat-loving boat together. And since we are, you'd agree with us that kittens are the most precious and pure creature that has ever walked (or waddled, because it takes them time) on Earth.

And if you agree with us on the matter of kittens, you might also agree with us on the matter of cat memes. We think you will. And this is the hot take: cat memes are the funniest memes. You see? Not that controversial. And very true. Cat memes are the best memes that have ever been memed.

But we're here not to talk about cat memes and cute kittens individually. No, we're here to present to you the ultimate combination that'll melt hearts with its cuteness overload and hissterical cat comedy - we're talking about cute kitten memes. Look at how itty-bitty cute they are! Our hearts are melting all over the place.

Cats are like our babies. Like our babies. We know that they are not, but… as people who don't have their own children yet, we end up treating our cats a little like they are babies. We buy our cats cute toys (that they usually don't use, and instead, prefer to play with some random hairband). We get our cats cool and expensive cat trees (only for the cats to sit in the boxes instead). We talk to our cats, we hug our cats, we sleep next to them… we love them, and we show that in our own nurturing ways. 

Of course, people remind us every once in a while, after seeing us interact with our cats, that our cats are, in fact, not our babies. And we know. But… we do wake to the sound of a cat vomiting the same way that mothers wake up to the sounds of their babies crying - bolting upright in the middle of the night, fully ready to do whatever needs to be done. So far, we did not know this could be used against us, but now we know.

Some cats are chill. Some are cuddly. And then… there are the divas. You know the type. They strut into the room like they own the place. Because let's face it, they do. These feline royalty don't just live in your home, they rule it, with the attitude of a queen, the drama of a king, and the pickiness of a pampered pop star.

Princess Whiskers doesn't drink water from a bowl. Oh no, she demands it fresh from the faucet. Sir Meowington needs his meals served just so, or he'll flick his tail and walk off in a huff. And don't even think about sitting in their sunbeam without prior approval.

These cats are experts at getting their way. They lounge luxuriously across your laptop, give you side-eye from their velvet perch, and meow with the urgency of a royal decree when breakfast is even one minute late. But we love them for it. Their flair. Their sass. Their fur-lined egos.

So go ahead, fluff that pillow, clear the schedule, and remember: you're not the main character in your own home. Your highness has entered the room and they demand chin scritches, now.

This first-time homeowner was feline pretty good about moving into a new place with his twin brother after years of living in a cramped two-bedroom with five other people. But the good vibes didn't last long. Just a few days into settling in, the younger brother decided to adopt a sick, unneutered stray cat… without asking anyone.

The cat was let in through an open door and promptly declared "our cat" by the brother and his teenage girlfriend (who doesn't even live there). Despite having no job, the brother insists they can care for the cat, though it's mostly the girlfriend footing the vet bills. Meanwhile, the house is already looking a mess, smelling worse, and there are still two other cats waiting to move in once the place is ready.

Understandably, this has raised some red flags. While there was an initial "sure, as long as you take care of it," that agreement is starting to unravel faster than a ball of yarn. Can you really commit to a sick cat if you can't even commit to cleaning the litter box?

Backing out of the cat deal might seem cold, but expecting basic responsibility? That's just purractical.

While hoomans hit the books, cats hit the naps… but not anymore! These academically ambitious felines have traded in their cardboard boxes for textbooks and are on a mission to earn their meowster's degrees. Whether they're pawndering quantum pawsics, studying felineology, or just snoozing on a laptop mid-Zoom class, these scholarly floofs are giving Ivy League energy.

Don't be fooled by their sleepy eyes. Behind every yawn is a brain packed with purrsuasive arguments and meownificent ideas. One kitty's thesis? "The Socioeconomic Impact of Treat Distribution." Another's working on "Advanced Kneading Techniques: A Study in Biscuit-Making." You'll find them lounging on stacks of paper, walking across keyboards mid-essay, and raising a paw in class (usually just to knock a pen off the table).

These campus cats may not have opposable thumbs, but they've got top-tier cattitude and GPA: Great Paw Average. Sure, their study methods include chewing on notebooks and falling asleep during lectures, but when it comes to being adorable, they're A+ students.

That is it, enough with daydreaming, enough with pawcrastination, it simply is not working anymore. Either it has become too easy to spot thanks to all the awareness about the act, or it has simply become ineffective like a cat's scratching tree after all the twine has fallen off. But just because our go-to distraction methods have failed us, does not mean that we do not still require distraction from life's languishing challenges. If anything, we need even more distractions to make up for the faulty methods.

And as such, we introduce you to this list of adorable cat memes that will distract you from literally everything. No family, no phone, no work will sway your attention, the world could be burning outside and you would be none the wiser. So use this method carefully, for there is no coming back, but golly gosh if it is not effective.

Cats, being the eclectic species they are, have a lot of surprising characteristics among them. You have the feisty felines who would rather touch fire than have anyone touch or bother them, the velcro cats who would rather give up one of their nine lives than not be pawmenently attached to their pawrents and then you have the dopes, the derps the dumbos.

The kind of cat who could only wish he had two brain cells to rub together, but on account of them only having the one single brain cell, are limited to living at that level of cognitive processing their whole lives. However, there is a portion of those single brain celled cattos who still find it within themselves to care so much for their hoomans that they would be willing to give up even their last and lone brain cell to help them if they could. And that special breed is what we have lined up for you today in this list of caring memes of cute cats who'd give you their last brain cell.
