23 Funny Fluffy Feline Memes Making Their Way This Meownday to Make a Whimsy Wholesome Week

Hello cat pawrents and enthusiasts, is this Meownday treating you alright until now? Starting another workweek can be rough, making any Monday morning a leading candidate in the "Worst Morning of the Week" list. This is especially difficult for cat pawrents, who need to leave for work after they've had a full weekend of cat time. It's rough to leave your cat at home after a two-day-long cuddle session with them, and a wholesome hang-out time.

This is why trying to surround yourself with cats as much as you can, while you're away from your cute cat, can be beneficial. It sort of acts as a solution for the cat-yearning soul of a cat pawrent on a Meownday morning. And the easiest way to surround yourself with cats, and just general cat wholesomeness, is by scrolling through a bunch of cat memes - especially the wholesome kind, which are made for a whimsy week.

"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.

21 Funny Feline Memes Meowing Loud Until You Laugh Because They're Blissful Fluffy Babies

Hello cat pawrents, how are you? And how is your cat baby? Yes, cats are babies, and that's not even disputable. If you are indeed a cat pawrent you probably don't need further convincing, but even if you are a cat pawrent or not, just think about it - Babies are small, and cats are smol. Babies need someone to feed them, cats demand someone to feed them. Babies need to sleep to grow up, cats need to sleep… just to sleep, all the time. Babies need their poopies cleaned, cats also need their poopies cleaned. The only conclusion we can draw from all of that is that cats are babies.

Down below you can find some cat babies in meme form, proving once and for all that cats are not just babies - they are the babies of the internet. Yup, the entirety of the internet. Grab your cat baby and see these memes together for a greater effect.

1-year-old siamese cat refuses to use the bathroom unless human accompanies him to the litter box, fed up feline owner seeks solutions: 'My cat demands bathroom reciprocity'

Cats are truly unique creatures. Much like us humans, each one has their own completely developed personality and quirks. Some cats are perpetual balls of energy, pausing from their mischief only to engage in a well deserved cat nap. Some cats are totally indifferent to your existence, you could provide them with treats, pets, the whole lot and still not receive much attention in return. And some cats need their favorite human to accompany them to the litter box any time they need to take care of business. The cat featured in the story we are covering today is the latter, and might we add, a total goofball. 

To be honest, this is a new one for us. We have yet to come across a cat who demands that their human be present during all bathroom activities. We've heard of cats who like to go to the bathroom while their humans are in the bathroom, to protect them from whatever evil lies dormant in the toilet, but yeah, this is a new one. What advice would you give to the original poster? All we can think of is to laugh and cry at the same time.

30 Purrfect Pictures of Cats Cuddling Calmly in Cozy Covers is Exactly What You Need to Pleasantly Pause and Ponder on Life’s Pleasures

Dear I Can Has-ers, today, we woke up thinking about a Danish term that will elate your days until the blessed weekend arrives: hygge. 

Hygge describes contentment derived from coziness, comfort, and gaiety. It is comprised of all that is cuddly, pleasant, cake-centered and candle-lit—in short, all the factors that make us purr.  
 

Hygge is all about enjoying each day to the fullest. All it takes is noticing the pleasantries of our daily lives. And it's no coincidence that cats and Hygge go together like Ben & Jerry. As you can see in the following photos of proud pawrents presenting their funny fluffy feline - cats are superior creatures, and understand that even the most mundane thing can be celebrated: a ball of yarn placed too low, cuddles with hoomans, and of course - continuous napping. If only we hoomans would appreciate our cozy domestic daily moments as cats (and Danes) do!
 

The ingredients for this comforting contented coziness are incredibly easy to obtain: Pour yourself a nice warm cup of your favorite beverage, wrap your feet with animal-shaped slippers, animal-printed socks, or your partner's backside, cuddle with your cutest cat, and scroll down these lovely screen shots from this post on Reddit. We must warn you, though - this post is not easy to leave. If you have plans today, cancel them. You are about to enter cuddle heaven.

Because i goofed up. [TL;dr: small retcon for this comic: have to transition into earlier in the next scene so Mugi and Yaku can talk *before* Miho wakes up. Now I can insert the three pages in progress of Mugi and Yaku talking about what happened last chapter.] In...

Wreckin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Sittin' in the morning sun

(oops)

I like wreckin' 'til the evening comes!

 

Stuffin' some flotsam in.

Grab another cake and do it again.

Yeah...

 

I'm thinkin' they'll be dockin' my pay.

I thought that's what they wanted to say!

Oooo -oo -oo -ooo

I'm thinkin' they'll be dockin' my pay...

Meh, looks fine. (Hiiii-iiine.)

 

The cake you want'll bore ya.

Thought I'd go a disco way.

 

I got nothin' against George.

It's just I'm tired of frosting him all day.

So...

I'm thinkin' they'll be dockin' my pay.

No one could read the French, anyway!

Ooh!

Maybe they'll be dockin' my pay...

Nah, it's fine.

 

Thankfully, our faithful Wreckporters -- Laurel G., Anna C., Kate P., Stacey W., Sammi K., Kathryn R., Bath C., Sylvie C., and Teresa P. -- weren't wasting time. Now, I think I'm supposed to end this with harmonic whistling, so here goes...

::whistles badly for 3 seconds::

Nope, hang on, I found a prettier option:

A rainbow whistling tea kettle? YES PLEASE.

I'm Sensing a Theme Here...

Katy P.'s father-in-law recently retired after 27 years with the fire department.

Naturally, his fellow fire fighters ordered an appropriately decorated cake to celebrate: 

(You know what my favorite part of this Fire Department Theme cake is? The balloons.)

Thanks to Katy for showing us how a cake order goes down in flames.

Also, I should probably point out the original firefighter themed cake from way back in 2008.  Still one of my favorites. -john (thoJ)

Fall's Fails

Fall is officially upon us here in Florida, as evidenced by the fact that it's a blustery 78 degrees outside tonight. (Don't worry; I've already broken out the scarves, sweaters, furry boots, and electric blanket, just to be safe.)

The other way you can tell it's Fall, though - besides all the Floridians in snowsuits - is the fall-tastical offerings in our nation's bakeries:

It's a...um...leaf. 

I think.

Theoretically I KNOW this isn't a Can-Can dancer lifting her skirts, but darned if I can see anything else.

Because nothing says, "MMAAAUUUURGGHHH!!!" like a Hay Beast with peek-a-boo breasticles.

 (HAY-O!)

 Well, except maybe the Bell-Bottomed Scare Bear of Perpetual Perplexity:

He's Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Stayin' Alive.

Oooh, and if your birthday happens to fall during Fall, then you also have these fun options:

Thanks to this cake and John's alarmingly comprehensive knowledge of slang words, I now know that "nut" is also a verb.

I don't recommend looking it up.

Here's one for our pyromaniac fans:

My deer, you are on FIRE tonight!

Also, I think I'd have that lump checked out. Just sayin'.

And finally, this bakery helpfully reminds us that Fall is "Harevet Time"

  So get those bunnies in for their yearly check-ups ASAP, hear?

Thanks to Kiki, Nancy M., Addie H., Sarah T., Bevin, Tanya S., & Shelley for the nice trips.
