The Video Game of Thrones

In the game of thrones, you either win or you fall into a gap in the ground. I feel like this is basically what the "Beyond the Wall" episode was like. They weren't all Night Watch, but they all walked along the ice and faced Wights like they were video game baddies. And they even had gaps in the ground to fall in. Ya know what, this is something I hadn't considered before. Maybe Game of Thrones would make a good video game. The princess is always in another castle. The baddies go down easily with certain weapons but are otherwise unkillable. Or maybe it's only good enough to make a smarmy reference on an obscure T-shirt. Who knows. In either case, that T-shirt exists! Go get it! $19.99 | URL | Paypal Credit | S - 5XL ')}

From pumpkin pie to turkey, to stuffing and cranberry sauce, we can't wet to get our chonk on and eat as many plates as we can.

28 Fortunate Floofy Funny Felines in Furtastic Memes to Meownifest Purrfectly Pawesome Positivity

Hey, feline fam. We don't know about you, but after our Caturdays filled with feline activities and catnip craziness, we like to unwind with some cat memes to mentally prepare ourselves with pawsitivity for the week ahead. Mondays can turn even the brightest, sweetest feline into a cranky, grumpy cat - which is why we need to boost our mewd with feline funnies so we don't scratch somebody's eyes out tomorrow meowrning. It only happened once, and that was because they tried to talk to us before we had our coffee. We did warn them, to be fair.

With these fortunate floofy funny felines in furtastic memes, we expect to wake up with chirps of happiness and ek-ek-eks of excitement to start the day. Okay, that might be exaggerating a little bit, but it never hurts to meownifest good vibes! If not, we'll just call in sick and stay home with our cats all day. It's only the 10th time we've done it in the last month. Our boss will understand, right?

Awwdorable Otter and Kitten Grow Up Together, and Now, They Cannot Sleep without One Another (Video)

We don't know if you have heard of it, but some people out there claim that cats are not friendly animals, and we think that they are ridiculous for it. They don't believe us when we tell them that cats love their humans. They say that the only reason cats show us any affection is because we feed them and take care of them, that if we didn't, our cats would be just as aloof to us as all these cat haters claim. We know better. We just can't seem to prove it to people. 

So, here we are, trying again, this time by showing them cats showing affection to other animals. Because if cats being friends with dogs was not enough, and cats being lifelong friends with birds, and kittens befriending pigs is not enough, then maybe a video of a cat and an otter being best friends since babyhood and cuddling every night to sleep will be enough to prove the cat haters wrong.

Heartwarming Hooman Spends Big to Get Their Cute Cat Life-Saving Surgery, Now He Looks Like a Derpy Cartoon Character

Hey, feline fam. If you're lucky enough as a cat pawrent, you'll never have to take your precious pets in for some sort of medical procedure in their lifetime. However, accidents happen, cats get older, and all sorts of complications can arise when you least expect them to. But, like the pawsitive people we are, we always try to find a silver lining in the bad, and that's exactly what this heartwarming hooman did when they found out their awwdorable feline needed surgery on their lower jaw.

The surgery was a success (hooray!), and now the cute cat has an awwdorable overbite that makes hoomans everywhere smile. Seriously, it's absolutely silly and we dare you to try and not smile at it. If you've ever seen the Simpsons, he's the spitting image of Snowball, the cat. It's just the boost of smiley serotonin we needed to get through the rest of the workday, so get your derp on and scroll down to see more pictures of this kitty cutie below. Have a great day!

"Roommate thinks my cat is 'our' cat": Fed Up Cat Owner Tries to Find Peaceful Ways to Navigate A Frustrating Feline Conflict

Those of us who have at some point in our lives lived with roommates know that having roommates can be a total disaster. Speaking from my own experience, moving to a big city and needing to find an apartment ASAP causes you to compromise on some things, but roommates shouldn't be one of them. Unfortunately, that's often the way the cookie crumbles. From messy roommates to roommates who use the kitchen to cook the weirdest and most unappealing foods, to roommates who never take their clothes out of the dryer, there often is much to be desired. 

For the original poster of the thread we are featuring today, a frustrating feline situation left them feeling confused and fed up as to how to approach their roommate. The roommate in question completely crossed the line when it came to OP's cat, often referring to the cat as their shared cat, rather than OP's cat. The kicker is that this cat is OP's childhood cat and of course, OP covers all of the cat's expenses. What would you do in a situation like this? We would have to move out at all costs.

22 Outrageous Original Cat Memes Bringing Fluffy Fresh Feline Vibe to Your Work Break

Oh, hey there working cat pawrents. Having a long workday isn't easy, but it's even less easy when you miss your cat that's back home right now. We understand this, we're all cat pawrents here ourselves. Even if we're surrounded by cat memes all day long, we still miss our fluff floofies back at home. But we have to say - having cat memes around you all day long makes the ache of missing your cat much easier. It's like we can still feel their cat energy all around us, all the time.

If we see a wholesome meme of a napping cat, we are reminded of how cute our cat is when he sleeps. If we see a sassy cat meme, we are reminded of the strong character of our cat that we appreciate so much. If we see a completely unhinged cat meme, we are reminded of how funny our cat can get. Cat memes are just great.

26 Colossally Cute Cat Memes for Hoomans Having a Horrible Week Who Need a Double Dose of Cat Comfort

Much as we might have started this week with the hope that we would find some pawsitivity, it does not always go that way. And this week is simply one of those weeks that runs behind your ankles like a cat on zoomies, throwing you completely off balance and making you almost hit your head on that new glass table you recently purchased. But you, being a feline fanatic, are lucky to have a permanent support system in place, in the form of feline funnies. And this list of colossally cute cat memes for hoomans having a horrible week and need a double dose of cat comfort, is chock-full to the gills with hilarious cats.

From the comfort eating catto who was more than a little bummed out that the takeout place gave him three forks even though he only ordered for one, to the captivated cat pawrent who has permanently booked themselves up to spend time with their furry felines.

Heartless Owner Returns Cat to Shelter Because She ‘Wanted to Cuddle Them at Night’, Then Her New Hooman Un-Breaks Our Hearts and Shows She’s Living Her Snuggliest Life Now

Look, we have heard stories of cats being returned to shelters. We have heard people say that they felt like they had no choice. The couldn't afford taking care of a cat anymore, they found out they were allergic… there are all kinds of reasons. At least everyone who returns a cat is a heartbroken, at least that's what we thought. We never imagined that someone would do it because the cat they adopted wanted to cuddle with them at nighttime. 

Everyone wants a velcro cat, right? Cuddly cats are the best! Cuddling with your cat is one of the best feelings in the world. The trust they show you, the love, the calmness that being so close to them gives you… there is nothing quite like it. To complain about a cat being too cuddly is like complaining about something being too tasty. It's silly. And ridiculous. And thank goodness that this sweet girl is now in the hands of someone who actually deserves her.

“Tarot for Creativity” helps writers and artists get through creative blocks

And then suddenly there were these three pocket-sized pictures that were inviting me to consider creative ideas.”
