It's a tale as old as time, a song as old as rhyme - family yearns for a cat, the Cat Distribution System hears their cries, and then it delivers them a cat purrfectly suited for them. The CDS's methods are wide and varied. Sometimes the cat sneaks into your bag without you noticing, sometimes the cat just follows you home, and on occasion, the CDS has been known to employ doggos to deliver said kittens into your home and heart. 

This family's dog started barking outside at what seemed to be a tiny furball in the driveway. The dad went out to see what was going on, and realized that the tiny floof in the driveway was actually a tiny kitten! As if someone had heard their wishes (his wife and son were just talking about how they wanted a cat - what a coincidence!), the CDS sent this kitten straight to their doorstep. Now, her name is 'Mew' and she's loved by all family members, both two and four-legged!

Moving in together is a huge test to a relationship. Moving in together when there are pets involved somehow makes the whole thing even more difficult. You don't know which sides of your partner you're going to see when you are with them 24/7, and unfortunately, we have seen people break up once they moved in with each other and each other's pets. We've seen a man break up with his girlfriend of 9 years because she cuddles her cat at night. We've seen a woman break up with her boyfriend because he didn't get along with her cat. We've even seen a girlfriend be jealous of her boyfriend's affection toward his cat and him break up with her over that. 

It always feels unexpected. And it always hurts. And it hurt this time as well. Because in a two-year relationship, where things seemed to be going well, stable, this couple made a complete 180 after moving in together.

Cats and music. Two things that make life instantly better, and when you put them together? Pawsitively iconic. Whether it's a fluffy tabby sprawled on a record player like it's a VIP lounge, or a dramatic meow breaking the silence like a true opera diva, cats know how to enjoy a good tune.

Some like to vibe in silence, eyes closed, soaking in every note like they're deep in a jazz club. Others prefer chaos: yowling along to pop songs, slapping piano keys like they're composing the next big hit, or attacking your headphones mid-chorus because their taste is clearly superior. And let's not forget the ones who love to nap right in front of the speaker.

They might not read music, but they sure know how to feel it. With every tail flick, ear twitch, and soulful stare into the distance, these fur-covered music critics remind us that the best way to enjoy a song is with your whole heart… and maybe a little cattitude.

If you are forced to rehome your cat, that is your time to say goodbye. There are no "take-backsies" after giving your fluffy feline up to another purrson that loves them.

Rehoming a cat, and introducing them to a new household, is a daunting task. Cats, despite all of their stereotypes, are sensitive creatures and take a lot of time to adjust to new surroundings. It took one of our rescues three full months before she felt comfortable sleeping on the couch, or in her bed. The first couple of weeks, she hid under the bed. You have to give them their space to come to you.

So imagine adopting a friend's rehomed cat, taking the time to introduce it to your own cat, and then falling in love with your new fuzzy feline. Then, five months later, the original owner comes back and demands their cat back! No thanks, this cat is ours now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Scroll down to read through the spicy story below.

Cats fight.

They're little belligerent fighting beasts, actually, if you think about it. I had an outdoor cat growing up—I know, it's controversial, but I was only a child—and that scrappy outdoor kitty was the queen of the block. Pookie was her name, and feline demolition was her game. She would never let rival cats enter our yard; her territory was HER TERRITORY.

As a result, I always believed that cats just simply didn't get along with other cats, which is more or less correct. However, there are some magical instances where kitties can shatter the stereotype. Shedding their battle mittens, and channeling their inner cuddle bug, cats can bond with one another unlike any other animal in the world. And when a car has bonded with another, not only is it adorable, but it's a like meowracle in the making. 

Keep scrolling for the incredible story of two unlikely feline allies who shattered the mold and made kitty history with their incredible friendship, forged on the rooftop of a purrcarious high-rise building.

Cats complaining? Oh, they're absolute experts at that! When it comes to letting you know what's wrong, these furry critics don't hold back one bit. Whether it's the tragedy of an empty food bowl, the shock of a moved sunbeam, or the catastrophe of a closed door, cats have truly mastered the art of vocal purrsistence.

Their complaints come with dramatic tail flicks, exaggerated meows, and eye rolls that could rival any Broadway diva's performance. Try ignoring them, and you'll just get the purrformance turned up to eleven! From "This toy is a total catch and miss" to "How dare you mess with my purrfect nap spot!" these kitties have plenty to say. And they say it loud and clear.

They'll even bring out the big guns: a well-timed stare, a slow blink full of judgment, or a theatrical flop onto your keyboard just to make sure you notice. At the end of the day, we just have to grin and bear it because their adorably demanding ways are all part of their clawsome charm. After all, who else complains with such pawsitive flair?

It's a truth universally acknowledged (by cat pawrents everywhere) that the relationship between cats and food is… complicated. Intensely passionate, occasionally dramatic, and always hilarious. These floofy food enthusiasts don't just like food - they act like they invented it. No matter how full their bowl is, if they hear the sound of a snack bag rustling from three rooms away, they'll come sprinting like a tiny but determined lion on the hunt.

And let's be honest - if you dare eat anything in their presence without offering tribute, you need to prepare for the judgmental stare, the dramatic paw tap, or worse: the full-body lunge onto your plate. Because in their eyes, if you're eating it, it must belong to them.

Naturally, the internet - blessedly ruled by cats - has captured this culinary chaos in meme form. Feline food memes have become a genre of their own. Because when a cat wants a bite of your pizza, your burrito, or your dignity, it's going to be both infuriating and funny. So here's to the feisty foodie felines. The food thieves. The mealtime dramatists. And the memes that celebrate this eternal cat-meets-snack saga.

Anyone knows that cats and mugs filled with liquid are mortal enemies. No two can exist in the same space at the same time.

That's why we avoid any potential kitty chaos by never leaving out any containers of liquid (unless it's the glass of water she drinks from, because why should she drink from her bowl of fresh water when "our" glass of water is purrfectly within reach?). Never underestimate the amount of damage a cat can do with any household item. You only need to learn that lesson once!

If you don't, you end up in a situation like the one below, where a cheap ex-roommate is demanding to take $700 off her debt of unpaid rent and bills because her cat knocked over her housemate's cup of juice onto her laptop, which ruined it. Firstly, it's her cat, so shouldn't it be her problem? Apparently not. If we've learned one thing from this, it's never to underestimate a cat's pension for causing problems and how cheap people can be. Scroll down to read the full story below!
