This first-time homeowner was feline pretty good about moving into a new place with his twin brother after years of living in a cramped two-bedroom with five other people. But the good vibes didn't last long. Just a few days into settling in, the younger brother decided to adopt a sick, unneutered stray cat… without asking anyone.

The cat was let in through an open door and promptly declared "our cat" by the brother and his teenage girlfriend (who doesn't even live there). Despite having no job, the brother insists they can care for the cat, though it's mostly the girlfriend footing the vet bills. Meanwhile, the house is already looking a mess, smelling worse, and there are still two other cats waiting to move in once the place is ready.

Understandably, this has raised some red flags. While there was an initial "sure, as long as you take care of it," that agreement is starting to unravel faster than a ball of yarn. Can you really commit to a sick cat if you can't even commit to cleaning the litter box?

Backing out of the cat deal might seem cold, but expecting basic responsibility? That's just purractical.

That is it, enough with daydreaming, enough with pawcrastination, it simply is not working anymore. Either it has become too easy to spot thanks to all the awareness about the act, or it has simply become ineffective like a cat's scratching tree after all the twine has fallen off. But just because our go-to distraction methods have failed us, does not mean that we do not still require distraction from life's languishing challenges. If anything, we need even more distractions to make up for the faulty methods.

And as such, we introduce you to this list of adorable cat memes that will distract you from literally everything. No family, no phone, no work will sway your attention, the world could be burning outside and you would be none the wiser. So use this method carefully, for there is no coming back, but golly gosh if it is not effective.

It's difficult to pass a cat that needs a home and not give them one. This is why we become cat pawrents - to make sure these fluffy feline friends have a lovely home, like they deserve. Adopting a cat from the streets is a noble deed, it's literally saving a life, and not just that - the love and affection you get back from the cat is ameowzingly great. This human-cat friendship created after an adoption like that is one of the most wholesome connections in the world.

This one heary hooman thought exactly the same. They wanted to save this beautiful female cat from the streets. She was hanging around in a rural area, looked very young and in a need of a home. This person adopted her, of course, because how could they leave this cutie patootie by herself? But little did they know, this beautiful orage cat was about to be a mama cat. Surprise, surprise, a little after her adoption she gave birth to an adorable litter of kittens. What a wholesome little bonus.

The person was surprised, obviously - they suddently had six cats instead of one! But their heart is so big, and their mind determined - all the kittens will get furever homes with other loving people, who will give them the best cat lives. This heary hooman took care of the kittens and found other wholesome people as them to adopt the kittens. When they told the story to the online feline family, heart were melted. And also ours. This is a surprise story with a happy ending indeed.

Mondays, are we right? Well, as you might have guessed by the title of this list it is not only us work hating hoomans who have an issue with this day that comes around every week, it is also our cat children. And who can blame them, Monday for them means that their food hooman is going to be out of the house for 8 to 12 hours.

A lifetime in cat years and a period where they will not be getting any extra treats, no coincidental cuddles, and most certainly none of those delicious smoothie straws they have come to be obsessed with. So who better to relate to, than the being that you are missing being with anyway, because both of you are suffering just as much as the other. So settle in for some feline flavored satire to sweeten the sour taste in your mouth that Monday has already managed to manifest.

To us, as people who love big cats so, so much, it's hard to ever imagine someone treating them badly. Lion cubs are so adorable and precious. They may grow up to be fierce, meowjestic and powerful, but as cubs, lions are vulnerable and need help. In fact, we don't know if there is anything more vulnerable than a solitary lion cub. And unfortunately, there are some people out there who use that fact for their own gain. 

This sweet lion cub was being passed around between human to human, as they tried to sell it while hiding it from authorities. There was no care to the lion cub's well-being whatsoever. It was lucky that the cub was rescued as early as it was - before the damage done to it was irreversible. Being rescued gave the cub a second chance at an actual life, and he took that chance with all four of his paws and is living an absolutely fabulous life in a sanctuary in Africa right now.

A local cat-lover is facing a purrplexing moral dilemma after a familiar feline pawed his way back into their life… literally. This same kitty had wandered into their woods last year and was returned home via animal control. But now he's back, sauntering past trail cams set up for wildlife and making himself comfortable by plopping into a stranger's lap like he owned the place.

When his hooman was contacted via the number on his collar, the cat bolted the moment the owner showed up. The man claimed the cat is an indoor-outdoor type who often "forgets his way home" and casually mentioned he usually resurfaces during rainstorms. Despite the many pawsible dangers like bears, coyotes, and bobcats, he brushed it off as no big deal. 

Apparently, the cat has an AirTag, which left the good Samaricat puzzled. How could he be "missing" if he's tracked? After the owner left, the kitty crept back, hungry and skittish, ready to chow down. With five cats already and room for more, this concerned rescuer is left wondering: would giving this whiskered wanderer a safer life make them the meownster?
