This feline tail started when one hooman adopted a kitten, receiving it free from a friend on Facebook, and finally fulfilled her dream of having a cat after moving into her own place. But her girlfriend isn't exactly purring with excitement. Claiming it's about "financial responsibility," she admits (in her own words) to sounding a bit unhinged about not liking cats. Weeks go by, and the girlfriend still hasn't met the kitten since he needed meds and shots, but things start to really unravel when the pawrent ordered a custom cat calendar. Four copies, to be specific. As any devoted cat parent would.
Instead of laughing along, the girlfriend responds with a cold thumbs up and passive-aggressive texts like, "Take care of your cat and have fun with him." Ouch. Meanwhile, the cat's been a total emotional support floof. Bringing peace, independence, and joy. He's her first pet all to herself, and she's made it clear: the cat stays.
This isn't just about a kitten. It's about being with someone who supports the things that make you feel happy and whole. When a tiny ball of fluff does more for your peace of mind than your partner does, it might be time to paws and reflect.
The middle of the week is upon us once more people and that can only mean one thing, we are sick of work, we are sick of our colleagues, and we would all much rather call it quits and go home to our cat children. Alas, we cannot do that for our cat children would send us right back to work to make sure that we earn enough to keep them well stocked with sweet treats and toys.
So, resigned to our hopeless position in life we have to turn to other avenues to perk us up. Thankfully there is always the option to get stuck into a pile of feline funnies and the collection of comedic cats that we have lined up today has been specifically designed to help you get through your midweek slump. So find yourself a quiet corner and get ready to put that slump in the dump because you deserve better than that.
Black cats are magic. Seriously, how else can you explain this magnificent and meowgical phenomenon that is black cats? They're so elegant, yet so silly. They're so beautiful, yet so hilarious. They're so mysterious, yet such cutie patooties. If not magic, how else can you explain black cats?
Now, combine that magic with the fact that cat memes are the best memes ever, of any genre and type, and you get the maximum magic memes: black cat memes. It's the purrfect combination of human humor and meowstirious black cats. Somehow, they make for the most magical type of memes out there. More than witches and wizards memes. Let's be honest, we love their cat familiars way more.
So, why not make your day more magical? All you need are some cat memes spiced with the black cat magic. They cute boredom with them cat comedy spell, and help any hooman reach maximum giggles. Also, black cats are just so beautiful. It's hard to keep out eyes off them, even in meme form.
Aww, look at your cat. Your cat is probably sleeping, because this is what they do for 80% of their days. Cats are so sleepy it's low-key making us jealous. Because we're sleepy, alright, but we cannot sleep. We cannot make this dream come true (pun definitely intended). We're humans, we need to stay awake. And you as well, this is why you're reading these very tired lines of text.
But cats? Cats are a whole different story. When they're tired all they need to do is plop on the ground and fall asleep. The fancier cats will search for a fanscy sleeping place first - the clean laundry pile, the fluffy blanket of the bed, or your face - and sleep right there. Because they can. Cats can sleep anywhere. We're honestly jealous of cats.
And what can we do about it? Nothing. Well, not nothing… We can look at these tired cat memes and pretend we're cats going to sleep, dreaming good dreams about being able to sleep whenever and wherever we want.
It should be purrfectly obvious if you're a fan of I Can Has Cheezburger, but just in case it wasn't, we will always choose our cats over everything else. If you can't get along with our cats, then we're just not meant to be together. They were our first loves, they've been with us through thick and thin, and have given us more happiness than most of the hoomans we know combined. So if you even think about messing with our cats, you'll be out on the curb faster than you can say "catnip".
We understand that not everyone likes cats, and that's okay. It's okay to be wrong. But that doesn't mean that we have to live with it. That's why we don't understand why non-cat people willingly enter relationships with cat people. If you're never going to change your opinion about our awwdorable fluffy felines, then why even bother? Well, it usually doesn't end well, like when this hooman cat mom called off her $40k wedding because her fiancé took matters into his own hands when he found out her cat scratched his car. Read through the whole story below!
Today in Incredibly Mundane Things That Yet Must Be Done, my side of the closet had become untenably crowded with clothes that I currently either can’t or won’t wear, and it was driving Krissy a little batty. So this morning she hauled all my stuff out onto the bed and told me to decide what was going to stay and what was going to go.
For an indecisive hoarder such as myself, this ultimatum filled me with existential horror, and yet I knew she was right: Much of what I have I can’t fit into at the moment (someone decided to eat a few too many snacks and not walk enough steps for, uhhhhh, a while now), and even with what I can currently fit into, I tend to default to basically the same five shirts and three pairs of jeans. So basically 90% my clothes are, essentially, just taking up space. I would never do a triage of all of it without prompting. So here was the prompt.
The “triage” was actually a quadage, as everything got sorted into one of four categories:
1. Clothes that don’t fit and/or I wasn’t wearing it even if it did: On the floor to be donated (as you can see in the picture above, with Charlie the dog for scale). In this category are a lot of shirts that are currently tight across my midsection, multiple Kickstarter t-shirts (sorry, Kickstarter pals, I mostly didn’t get the “t-shirt” tier because I wanted a t-shirt, I just wanted to send you extra cash), old convention/book festival t-shirts and sweatshirts, souvenir shirts, jeans in a waist size I will likely never see again, and shorts I can’t manage to get past my thighs. This is the largest category of stuff.
2. Apparel with sentimental value and only sentimental value: Put into a box for storage. These include gifts I would feel guilty disposing of, commemorative apparel I want to keep but can’t/won’t wear at the moment, or quirky stuff that amuses me, but I don’t necessarily want to be seen in, even if it fits. This is the smallest category, but it’s enough that it will take up a whole box.
3. Apparel I want to wear again but currently don’t fit into: Back into the closet, pushed to the back. This is mostly shirts. I need to lose at least 20 pounds before I unlock some of these again, and losing 30 pounds will unlock them all. Call them “shrink goals.” I’ll start working on that in earnest starting at the beginning of July.
4. Stuff I currently fit into: Back into the closet, obviously, shirts near the front of the closet, pant/shorts in their corresponding cubby holes.
Of the last two categories, what’s left? Honestly, not a whole lot! My regular shirts were basically entirely wiped out (note only two collared shirts there, although I will clarify that actual dress shirts and suits are in a different closet along with other more formal wear; this closet is for everyday wear), and what I have left are primarily t-shirts, most of which I recently purchased when I realized I let my sloth change my clothes size. On a day-to-day basis this isn’t an issue, since as I already mentioned, I tend to just wear the same five shirts anyway. Also it’s summer so I’m not exactly dressing up, and as a science fiction writer I’m not expected to dress myself up fancy-like when I do events, I just have to be, you know, not all covered in stains and crumbs. This current state of affairs will not present either a logistical or sartorial crisis for at least a few months.
Still, it was a little bit of a surprise to me how much of my ostensible wardrobe was functionally inert and just taking up space. It was a lot. And now all of that is off, or soon to be, to local charities who will hopefully pair the clothes with people who actually need and might actually wear the stuff. It’s not all Kickstarter tees, there are some things in there one could wear to work. The clothes being actually worn is a more useful fate than the one they had in my closet. Fly, extraneous clothes! Be free!
Cats are born a little different sometimes, just like humans are. They can be born with all kinds of conditions. Cats can be born blind, but that doesn't mean that they will cause any less chaos than a regular cat. Cats can be born deaf, but that doesn't mean that it will stop them from screaming their little heads off to get your attention. Cats can be born with strange medical conditions, but that doesn't mean that they are any less of a cat. Our point is that being born a little different doesn't mean that you are any less deserving. And it certainly doesn't mean that you should be thrown out like trash.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to the kitten in this story. He was born with a little lump on its head - something that made him a little different, and he needed help, he needed to be taken care of. Instead, he was thrown out and left alone. Thankfully, he wasn't alone for too long though, because some kind humans found him in time.
Inugrrrl was a longtime fan and fanfiction writer of InuYasha and the InuYasha/Kagome pairing. In her own words, she was known for “writing characterization-breaking, smut-filled, angst-riddled, alternate universe pulp fiction without a hint of shame, regret, or apology.” She was active in the fanbase from 2005-2024. Inugrrrl tragically passed away in June of 2024 and her daughter wished for her mother’s fanworks to remain online for the fanbase to enjoy.
Open Doors will be working with Rinikioi, Inugrrrl’s best friend, to import her personal archive, Absolution, into a separate memorial account on the Archive of Our Own.
We will begin importing works by Inugrrrl to the AO3 after May. You will find them on the inugrrrl_memorial account.
Inugrrrl also had a collection of fanfiction gifted to her by friends and fellow fans. Open Doors will be importing these works into a separate collection.
You’d like us to import your works and need a claim request sent to your email address.
You already have an AO3 account and have imported your works already yourself.
You’d like to import your works yourself (including if you don’t have an AO3 account yet).
You would NOT like your works moved to the AO3, or would NOT like your works added to the archive collection.
You are happy for us to preserve your works on the AO3, but would like us to remove your name.
You have any other questions we can help you with.
We will begin importing works gifted to Inugrrrl to the AO3 after June.
We’d love it if readers who were familiar with her fannish activities could help us document Inugrrrl’s fannish involvement on Fanlore. If you’re new to wiki editing, no worries! Check out the new visitor portal, or ask the Fanlore Gardeners for tips.
We’re honored to be able to help preserve the works of Inugrrrl, and while we mourn her loss, we also realize that we are fortunate that she had a friend who was given permission to collect and preserve her works on the AO3 so that they will not be lost. Thinking about the death of a fandom friend may be difficult, but it can also be an opportunity to consider what will happen to your fanworks and accounts and those of your friends after your deaths. The Archive of Our Own has an option to name a Fannish Next of Kin, someone who would be able to gain access to your accounts in the case of your death or incapacitation. By naming someone who can act on your behalf, you can decide ahead of time how you want your AO3 accounts handled going into the future.
Oh, the internet. We don't know how we went from viral cat posts to… whatever is happening on the internet now. But we miss it. We do. We miss the innocence of how things used to be. We miss the feeling of simplicity that we had as we scrolled through hoards and hoards of new and hilarious cat memes each and every day. We missed when there was this feeling of togetherness. But you know what? That's why we're here, at ICHC, because here, this feeling of togetherness and wholesomeness and nostalgia never went away. Here, we have funny cat memes all day every day, just how it used to be.
So, here you have it, yet another hand-picked collection of silly cat memes for your enjoyment, carefully curated by yours truly. So you can have a morning full of purrfection and cats and nothing but that. We wish you all a fabulous rest of the week and a pawfect day.
If you are a true through-and-through cat dude, then you love all cats—that, most definitely includes the hairless ones too! We don't even know why you would think it wouldn't. Sphynx cats are some of the sweetest little gremlins you will ever have the honor of loving. They meow, the make biscuits, and they even sass you just like any ole floofy cat. Even without hair they still are just as majestic and adorable. Some Sphynx owners would even argue that they are the cutest breed of cat! But, of course, that is all opinion based. That being said, every hairless cat I've met has been some of the sweetest little beans I have ever met. So cuddly! You don't need a ton of fur to still feel just as cuddly.
If you are a fan of sweet silly Sphynx kitty cats, then you are going to love what's below. We've gathered some of the most hissterical and catastic photos of hairless cats and each one makes us swoon. How do you say "meow I love you" in hairless? Please let us know and enjoy the cats below!
No matter what kind of hooman you are, we all need our feline fix. For some it is a feisty feline fix, for others a fluffy, but no matter what we all need it and need it regularly. It is the principle reason that dog pawrents are so anti-cat, because they are jealous that they cannot cheat on their canine children and get their feline fix. But you, dear hooman, are lucky enough not to be limited by a pawdorable pupper and are free to fill your soul with sweet cats whenever you want.
At least we are assuming that, seeing as you are here. So we welcome you to today's feline fix, which is a wholesome and funny one that comes wrapped in the most whimsical of wrappers, whiskers. And if these felines are not enough for your fix, then check out these cute cattos to round out your feline fixation.
Hello, all you furbulous felines on the internet today. We have some special cat memes for you today. They are purrfectly silly, hilariously hissterical and meowrvelously… moist? Yes. They are moist. Usually, cats don't like getting wet (they do, however, make the purrfect lifeguards), but this one cat in purrticular loves taking baths. They love the oily look on their smooth skin (no, we're not talking about hairless sphynx cats that look like raw chickens), living their lives in the shape of a football, and disappointing feline fanatics around the world. That's because these cat memes are actually purrfect pygmy hippos.
For some reason, someone on the internet made a bunch of memes of this awwdorable pygmy hippo (who we presume to be the infamous Moo Deng) and claimed that they are the worst cat pawssible. We'll leave that up to you to decide, but because they are technically cat memes, we couldn't pass up the awwportunity to share them with you. Without further ado, we hope you have a purrfectly moist day…. or something like that. Enjoy!
As we have learned the hard way, once you feed a stray cat… a domino effect happens. You feed the stray cat once, and it keeps coming, and then, without any warning, that cat brings you its kittens or a friend of his. So, you find yourself feeding multiple cats. And… suddenly, just like that, you become your building's official cat feeder, and every person in the building knows you as that person. Yes, we say this from experience.
Now, we have warned people about this before. Act kindly to a stray cat once and face all of the consequences that come with it. But people don't always listen to us, and so, they find themselves learning the same lesson the hard way too. Which is what this person did. We don't think that they anticipated being the local hot-spot for all the stray cats in the neighborhood, but just like us… they do not seem to mind their new role too much.
Rescuing a cat in need of help is one of the most amazing things that you can do. And it's rare. Few people do it. Most people will simply walk past a kitten crying for help, but not everyone. There is still some hope for humanity. Some people will still take time out of their busy day and help an innocent animal in need. But what's even more amazing and rare is adopting the cat that you rescued - it's giving that cat the chance that it deserves in the home that it clearly chose. And that's the kind of story that we have for you today.
This woman not only stopped to rescue a kitten. She waited for three days to try to find the momma cat, she rescued not one but three kittens from freezing in a PVC pipe, and she adopted… all three of them. And now, this happy little family is still together, living and thriving.
Yes, it’s actually pretty much this color in the sky, as it’s hanging low enough in it to pick up coloration by atmospheric refraction. It’s a pretty cool thing to see. If you get a chance to go out and look at it, it’s worth the view. If you can’t (or you have cloud cover), well, at least you got to see it here.
There's nothing quite like a "feed me now" stare from a cat. Those big, pleading eyes that say, "Hooman, where's my dinner?"Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or a suspiciously late midnight snack, cats have mastered the art of purrsuasion. They're basically tiny, furry food critics who never hesitate to judge your cooking or snack choices.
Some cats will patiently sit and give you that slow, dramatic blink, while others go full-on ninja mode, pouncing on your plate or swiping food right off the table. And if you dare ignore their demands? Prepare for the legendary hangry glare that can melt your soul faster than a can opener can pop.
What's hilarious is how these furry foodies treat every meal like a high-stakes event. Tracking you from room to room, making sure you're not hiding any secret snacks. Their antics aren't just cute; they're a reminder that cats have a sixth sense for when food is nearby and zero shame about getting what they want.
So next time your cat stares you down like they're auditioning for a food commercial, just know you're part of the world's longest-running comedy show and the star's definitely a furball with a very big appetite.
Ever stared into a cat's eyes and felt like they knew something you didn't? That's because cats are secretly philosophers in fur coats. From loafing in deep meowditation to silently judging us from windowsills, they seem to ponder life's biggest pawsibilities.
Cats question everything: Why chase the laser if you'll never catch it? If a box exists, must I enter it? Is the treat jar truly empty? Or is it just a metaphor for the void?
They follow their own meownifesto: nap often, judge quietly, and never do anything unless you want to. Call it sass, but Aristotle would call it autonomy.
And don't forget Schrödinger's Cat. Felines heard that one and went, "So I can exist and not exist at the same time? Meownificent."
So the next time your cat knocks something off the counter for seemingly no reason, remember—they're not just being chaotic. They're sparking dialogue. Or asking for snacks. Either way, it's pawsitively profound.
