The Many Ramblings of K. A. Webb

Some weeks feel like they're dragging their tail all the way from Monday to Monday again, and the grind just won't quit. The to-do list grows faster than your unread messages, your coffee lost its magic, and the weekend is still not here. But in the middle of this chaos, there's one guaranteed way to claw your way back to joy: funny cat memes.

Yes, fellow feline fanatics - it's time to call in the emotional support floofs. Because when deadlines loom and everything feels like a spreadsheet-powered fever dream, nothing hits quite like a cat dramatically knocking things off a shelf or yelling into the void at 3 AM for absolutely no reason.

Universities love rules as much as cats love ignoring them.

Each corner of campus comes with a policy document, drafted by someone terrified of unplanned joy. Bedtime hours, kettle wattage, poster dimensions, all recorded. Yet the simplest threat to order is never a student riot. It is a soft purring intruder with whiskers.  

This couple may be splitting, but their cats are purrmanently bonded and that's where things get complicated. Two of the feline family members are soulmates in fur and attached at the whiskers. One prefers her hooman dad, the other clings to his cat mom, but separating them would be an emotional catastrophe. And let's not forget the third, a former stray who wandered in like he owned the place and now just vibes aloof, independent, and completely unbothered.

These cats aren't just pets. They're children with tails. With both hoomans equally devoted, it's hard to imagine a clean break. Shared custody might sound silly to some, but in this case, a rotating catstody schedule could be the most pawsitive solution. Cats thrive on routine, so a gradual transition between two stable homes might just work, especially if it keeps their emotional catnections intact.

Love may be fleeting, but a bonded pair of purring furballs? That's furrever. Splitting up is tough, but when it comes to the cats, the goal is simple: do what's best for the fur babies.

If anyone knows what it feels like to be in the shadows, dipping and diving out of the way of more important and bigger people than yourself, it is cat kind. Like a cat darting from car to car when they know a dog is in the area, you make your way through the office, trying your best to avoid contact and confrontation in the office. But you deserve more than that, and the cat council saw that.

So they got in touch with us and asked if we would put out a supportive message of feline flavored hope, which of course we obliged being the feline fans we are. And so we are proud to present on behalf of the cat council this list of caring cat memes fur the underappreciated office underling. So know that cat kind sees you and sees your plight, and they will always be here in meme form to help you through the rough times.

There's just something about Mary, feline fam! She's a cutie, a looker, and she's got the fluffiest toe beans on this side of the internet. What's even better, is that she went from a horrible hoarding situation to living the good life in her furrever home. She was forced to live with 12 other cats, and even in a huge space, that's just not how cats were meant to live. We hope she's getting fed some fresh tuna from the can right meow because she deserves it. Every cat deserves it, but Mary especially, and not just because she's adorable. Okay, maybe a little bit because she's a cutie-patootie.

Purrsonally, we have never had more than three cats, but we can see how it would be a slippery slope to get to 13 cats. You save one, and then another, then another has kittens… and boom! You're over 10 cats and you don't know what to do with yourself. Don't let yourself get there, so we don't have more Marys in the future.

Over our time here at ICHC, writing about cats day in and day out, we have noticed something. We have noticed that the names people give their cats get divided into a couple categories. It's either cats have completely absurd names that are just hilarious and ridiculous, or people give their cats very human names, which is also hilarious in other ways. 

The latter is what happened in this situation. The family who adopted this kitty named it Dave. The only problem is that, with human names, come human connotations. And the name Dave, generally, is given to males in the human kingdom. The family didn't know, when they named it, that this kitty was not only not male but also very, very pregnant, but the name stuck. And although we don't have a problem with her being called Dave and the family doesn't have a problem with her being called Dave… their neighbor apparently thinks it's worth calling animal control over.

Adopting a cat is a big responsibility, and every person who wants to adopt one should be aware of that. Don't let the rumors fool you. Cats are not nearly as low maintenance as some people think they are. You have to clean up after your cat, you have to give your cat attention and have playtime with it for it to not get aggressive, you have be there for your cat. And you cannot simply drop your cat off on your roommates when you don't feel like taking care of it anymore. 

And if you happen to be going on vacation, you cannot simply expect your roommates to take care of your cat. It is your responsibility to find a cat-sitter who is actually willing to do the job. But we suppose that some people don't understand that, and so, they do things like what you are going to read about today. They throw tantrums and act like the world owes them something.

Breakups often devolve into petty accounting, but nothing warps a ledger faster than the threat of pet theft.

 In one spectacular case, an ex decided that two rescue cats made perfect bargaining chips, discovering too late that feline leverage can claw a bank account to pieces.  

Anybody who has ever owned a special-needs cat knows how big of a responsibility it is. These cats need extra from you. That's true and has always been true. So that is something that has to go into consideration when you adopt a special-needs cat. At first glance, it looks like the man in this story did realize this - the weight of the responsibility of having a cat like this. It seems that he looked for a cat-sitter who specializes in cats who need this little bit extra. But then things take a turn. A weird turn. 

This man, who is clearly well-off financially, seems to have had a problem with paying the $20 that this highly qualified cat sitter was asking for, a price that any cat owner, let alone a special-needs cat owner, should be willing to pay for something like this. He put off paying until the last second, and when the cat sitter put her foot down, he did the most unexpected thing of all.
