Cool Stuff

Moving in with a partner is a major step, but for this devoted cat guardian, it's coming with a serious furball of a challenge. She has four rescue cats she's deeply bonded to, and while her boyfriend, who has a cat of his own, has always been understanding, the thought of living with five felines isn't exactly his idea of domestic bliss.

The couple has had mature, thoughtful conversations, and while she knows her boyfriend would accept all four if she insisted, she doesn't want to put him in an uncomfortable living situation. It is, after all, his home too. So now she's wrestling with the idea of possibly rehoming one or two cats. Not because she wants to, but because she's trying to find a compromise that respects both her relationship and her furry family.

Still, it's not an easy decision. These cats were abandoned before and started as fosters, and their bond is strong. She's committed to them for life, which makes even considering this option feel heartbreaking. It's a real test of love, loyalty, and just how many cats one couple can cuddle under one roof.

Top o'the meowrning to you, feline fam. Some people are just lucky, you know? Like, some people always find money in their jeans pockets or get every green light on their way to work. Others of us are stuck waiting 10 minutes just for the light to change. And this luck goes for being in good standing with the Cat Distribution System as well. We praise the CDS pretty much daily, and yet, we have only been visited by the CDS once in our lives. Although we remain feline faithful, we might never be as lucky as the purrson in this post.

They did the good deed of rescuing two stray cats from the streets, but the kitty cosmos had another plan for them. Overnight, the number of cats they rescued went from 2…. to 12! We love cats and we will always help a cat in need, but we've never raised 12 cats at once before. You need to be a real expurrt to get through that situation with your sanity still intact!

Even though cats, as pets, are low-maintenance relatively to some other animals, there is still a whole lot that you need to know about them. Just like any other pet, cats have their own quirks. For example, you have to figure out how to get your cat to drink more water because sometimes, cats just don't feel like doing it. You have to learn some practical ways to enrich your cat's environment, because even though cats don't like doing too much, boredom can still be an issue with them. You need to learn your cat's language - to communicate with them in a way that they understand.

And you have to know, of course, that if you let your cat out, that will come with a whole other set of challenges. Like… your cat going to visit your neighbor sometimes. And if that neighbor is nice and likes cats, that cat might end up liking your neighbor too and visiting more often, and no, you cannot throw tantrums when that happens.

While the working week winds on, there are certain things that we begin to miss more and more. It begins with your hobbies, they are always first to go. Then comes your time with friends, after all, who has the will power to crack jokes after a day at the office. And finally, your family. After almost a whole week of barely being home, and bashing your head against the wall, it can be really tough to feel as though you are far from your family, the only unit who can catch you when you fall.

So we rallied up some of our feline fam, and set about creating this collection of heartwarming feline family photos to give you an afternoon of pawdorable awws, equivalent to paging through your firstborn's photo album. So sit back, relax and get ready to have your emeowtional reserves restored with these wholesome cat photos.

Not all people are born the same. We know that. But did you know that the same is true for cats as well? Sure, you have your large cats and your ginger cats and your hairless cats, but that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about cats that are born with two noses, and cats that are born with four ears, and cats that are born with two faces. Medical mysteries. Incredible conditions that you look at and wonder… how is that even possible?

That is precisely what happened when this shelter brought in this kitty. A sweet cat - friendly, affectionate and very, very special. Because this cat was, somehow, born with six legs. Yes, you read that right. The theory is that this kitty absorbed a twin in utero and retained its legs somehow. No one knows how, but what we do know is that this condition is one that was hurting this kitty, and something had to be done about it.

Procrastination is the cat's meow when it comes to dodging work. We all know the drill. Putting off that big project feels easier than chasing a red dot, and suddenly the hours vanish like a sneaky cat disappearing under the couch. Instead of tackling deadlines, we nap, snack, or get distracted by anything that isn't the task at paw.

Work piles up, but like a clever kitty avoiding bath time, procrastination has a way of sneaking in and making itself comfy. Maybe it's the allure of just one more scroll or a quick catnap that turns into a full-on snooze marathon. Before you know it, the clock's ticking louder than a purring cat demanding dinner.

It's a classic cat conundrum. Knowing you should be working but finding every excuse to delay. After all, why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? The to-do list may grow, but for now, the couch looks a lot cozier than that spreadsheet.

Life is a funny thing, you never quite know how it is going to shake out. You start by doing one thing that feels right, and before you know it, you have landed yourself deep into a pile of problems that you had no idea were coming your way. Now problems can be good, we will give you that, and certainly in the case of this heroic hooman who took on a lost cat soul, that is the case.

But problems still need to be handled, and that takes a lot of effort. Thankfully, that is effort that this pawrent was up for handling and the story gets a sweet and satisfying ending. And is likely a lot to do with the Cat Distribution System which orchestrated the whole scenario. For they are a wise bunch and very much know what they are doing when it comes to surprising hoomans with cats who need their love.

It's the middle of the week, which means you're probably mentally checked out by now. In fact, we checked out yesterday, but don't tell our boss that. It's the unfortunate condition that happens to us every time we reach that midweek slump, where no amount of coffee, sweet snacks, or bathroom breaks can meowtivate us to work. We're working hard (and by that, we mean hardly working), so while we're wandering through the deep corners of our hooman minds, we might as well scroll through some midweek cat memes that start with meows and end with mentally moving into a cardboard box.

We'll start off easy-peasy, with cute cat memes that are as silly as they are awwdorable. And then, as you scroll down further, you'll find that the memes are more molded to your midweek mental state. By the end, you'll be fully transformed into a house cat that sits in their cardboard box all day and doesn't even know what a job is. Sounds purrfect, right?
