Hey there, hoomans, pawrents, and professional treat dispensers - it's Caturday again! The sacred day of sleeping in, slow blinks, and being gently woken up by whiskers in your face. Whether your feline overlord is currently loafing on your keyboard or screaming at a dust particle only they can see, we hope you're settling into your weekend with maximum meowgic and minimum responsibility. You've earned it.
This week's Caturday Best brings over 25 of the funniest, fluffiest, and most pawfound memes the internet has to offer. We saw cats being drama queens, weird little guys, majestic voids, and absolute agents of chaos - and we loved every second of it. We saw a cat bewitched by a soap bubble, an absolute unit of a chonker being his most round self, and many others. These memes are more than just giggles – they're little meowments of joy sent straight from the land of the litterbox gods.
Hello and happiest Caturday, furiends! We've made it once again. The sun is shining (hopefully), the coffee is brewing (definitely), and we are ready to trade all thoughts of spreadsheets and deadlines for toe beans and bleps. Because it's the weekend. Because we deserve joy. Because cats exist. And that's reason enough to celebrate, honestly.
As always, we're kicking off this glorious day with a fresh new edition of our Caturday Meowgazine - your one-stop scroll for all things feline and fabulous. We've gathered the funniest cat memes, the most ameowzing viral pawsts, and the most heart-stealing, drama-spilling cat stories of the week. This is the internet at its purest, fluffiest form.
So take a deep breath. Let the serotonin in. Let the whiskers work their magic. And let's start this Caturday with a whole lot of cattitude.
You know, we have a problem. It's very real and has very real consequences. We try to pet every single cat that we see. Every single one, no exceptions. And we know, we truly do know, that it's risky. You can never know how a cat is going to react to you. You don't know if it's going to be a cat who loves getting petted or a cat that will swat at you for even attempting to get too close. So, we approach cats with caution, with patience, and with the knowledge that even doing all of that might end up with us getting smacked.
If only cats could come with warning labels. If only we knew that this is a spicy kitten and this is a cuddle-bug cat, life would be a lot easier for us. It wouldn't stop us, of course, from trying to pet the less friendly cats, because, like we said, we have a problem. But at least we would know to approach them with even more caution than usual.
Some exes erase you from their life, others mount elaborate power plays involving household pets and a sustained grudge that refuses to age gracefully.
There is a unique satisfaction in living long enough to become the plot twist in your ex's most self-serving narrative, especially when the stakes involve custody of a whiskery little king.
There's just something magical about a super fluffy cat. Whether they're long-haired royalty like Persians and Maine Coons or just extra floofy in all the right places, these cats bring maximum cozy energy. Their tails look like feather dusters, their paws are hidden under clouds of fur, and their neck ruffs give serious lion vibes. You can't help but want to bury your face in their fluff, but if they'll allow it is another story.
Fluffy cats somehow manage to look elegant and ridiculous at the same time. One moment they're perched in a sunbeam like a work of art, the next they're zooming around the house like a chaotic puffball. And when they loaf? Oh, they loaf hard. No limbs in sight. Just one gloriously fuzzy pillow with ears.
This Friday, we're celebrating the floofiest of felines. Those with coats so impressive, they deserve their own grooming station, fan club, and possibly their own zip code. Because if there's one thing better than a cat… it's a fluffy cat.
Scroll through and soak in the softness. You've earned it.
Cats are the undisputed kings and queens of the all-nighter. While the rest of us are clinging to our final shreds of sleep, they're sprinting across the house like they just drank three espressos and remembered they have taxes due at midnight.
Every night, it's the same routine: we try to sleep, and they try to summon the ancient spirits via hallway zoomies. Or conduct a 3AM concert on your ribcage. Or open a full-blown wrestling match with a dust bunny.
And let's not even talk about the stare. You know the one. It's 4:12AM, you wake up for two seconds, and your cat's just... perched… blinking… watching… judging your life choices.
So if you've ever dragged yourself through a workday fueled by caffeine and regret because your feline roommate was on one last night. This one's for you. These memes capture the chaos, the comedy, and the clawver nonsense of cats who simply refuse to sleep like normal beings.
This poor pawrent is in a real catastrophic conundrum. After adopting a high-octane kitten just two months ago, they're now buried in guilt and shredded bedsheets. Life took an unexpected turn, and instead of lazy snuggles and Instagram-worthy cat naps, they're dealing with turbo-charged zoomies, door-meowing marathons, and bitey bedtime chaos.
Despite their best efforts (think: cat trees, tunnels, a feline IKEA showroom), their little furball is clearly under-stimulated and over it. Add an incoming roommate who's already side-eyeing the chaos, and this situation is teetering on the edge of full-blown mewtiny.
Now they're torn: should they rehome the kitten to a more suitable family with more paws-on-deck? Or hang in there, cross their claws, and hope the move brings some peace and quiet?
To rehome or not to rehome. That is the purrsistent question. And while it's never easy to admit when a match might not be the right fit, prioritizing the kitten's happiness isn't failure. It's feline love in its purest form.
It is painful to know that in most cases older cats are not given the respect, love and admiration that they deserve. Sure, they might have a few miles imprinted on their fur, but that only adds to their character and shows that they know more about life than most hoomans do. Heck, that might even be the underlying reason that people steer clear of them.
But thankfully today we do not bring you a story of elder catto neglect, but of an elder catto being saved and being given the wholesome home that she so deserved, giving her a safe and spoiled space to live out the rest of her years in. this is a story of love beyond the bounds of comfort. This is the story that should remind each and every one of us that cats of all ages are simply wonderful. This is the story that might make you go out and adopt an elder catto.
Cats come to us in all sorts of different ways. Sometimes it is a daring feline rescue, others it is a trip to the local cat shelter, and sometimes the Cat Distribution System chooses you. But today we have a story that rather trumps most of the traditional stories. Set up like a Wes Anderson film, this story tells the tail of a woman whose sister passed away and left behind an estate.
But unbeknownst to the surviving sister, in the will she had been left to take care of the recently passed sister's cat. Almost like adopting a child sight unseen, this woman was told that the cat child she would be bringing home was feral, feisty and an all around menace. Not exactly what you want to hear after being burdened with a load you were not expecting. But the truth ended up being something far different from what she had been told. Scroll on to find out how the movie ends.
A message from the cat council: 'Oh yeah hoomans! It is Friday and that means that Caturday is only a few hours away. So we hope that you have readied your homes with tons of treats and toys to keep your feline friends happy. And we thoroughly recommend removing all breakable objects and locking all doors to non-cat approved rooms, because things are going to get hectic.
But until then we hope you enjoy the lead up to Caturday with some feline Friday vibes and this collection of calming cat memes that we have put together for you. The cat council thanks you for taking good care of your cat child, and wishes to remind those who have not given they cat child a treat for more than a week, that their Caturday will likely be chaotically clawminal, unless they give triple the amount of treats they were going to.'
The internet is an interesting space. A liminal world where anything you could dream of could be brought together. If you're a Star Wars fan, but want to see what the characters would look like with anime halations, you can find it. You want to read about someone's fan fiction about Harry Potter, but with a different ending, there's a place for that. And if you want to travel back in time, it might as well be a time machine. Who would have thought we would be able to touch the past (and the future) in such a tangible way?
If you're someone who loves cats, and also loves everything vintage, we have good news for you. Below, you'll find beautiful and old photos of vintage cats. Yes, it's black and white photos of cats with top hats, binoculars, and with a slew of celebrities you didn't know were cat lovers. Enjoy these aristocratic cuties below.
Furiday has finally arrived, and you know what that means: it's time to clock out of seriousness and clock into silliness - with cats, of course. Whether you're powering through your last Zoom meeting or already mentally halfway to the couch, one thing's for sure: the feline forces of fluff are here to help you cross the finish line. And not with grace - oh no. With chaos, zoomies, side-eyes, and the occasional loafing on top of your important paperwork.
Cats are nature's comedians, and they don't even know it. Or maybe they do know, and they're just being dramatic about it (classic). From surprise sploots in the middle of hallways to acting like you personally betrayed them because you dared to sneeze, cats have a talent for turning everyday moments into absurd masterpieces. They're the perfect blend of majestic and completely ridiculous - and we love them more for it.
Sometimes, when you need a cat the most… a cat just shows up. That's the magic of the Cat Distribution System - unpredictable, strangely accurate, and somehow always right on time. It doesn't just connect cats with homes. It connects hearts that need healing, families that are still forming, and humans who might not even realize how much they needed a little feline chaos and comfort in their lives.
This couple didn't plan to adopt. They had just moved after a traumatic event, trying to start fresh. But then came a stray - with a literal soup can on her head! She showed up like a tiny, purring, and pawrfect cosmic gift. And she brought more than just herself into their lives. She brought kittens. She brought joy. She brought Charlie, who chose his human in the most chaotic way possible (pee included).
And just like that, their little household grew into a found family - traumatized, yes, but healing. Together.
Gooood meowrning, cat people! Another week has gone by, and thank god for that, because we are very, very ready for the weekend. We've been working hard, we're been putting in real effort, but now, it's officially time to turn into a couch potato for the weekend and do the things that we want to do more than anything in the world, and those things obviously start with a whole bunch of hilarious cat memes.
Except that where you are now, we are not talking about just any funny cat memes. We are talking about Lolcat memes. These are memes made by our community with our very own cat meme builder. These are memes filled with nostalgia, hilarity and wholesomeness all at once. They're instant classics without feeling old. And more than anything, they make us smile every time we see them. Every single week, we put together our favorites, and who knows? Maybe next week, you will see one of your memes in this collection as well.
Furst of all, happy International Cat Day, feline fam! Today, we harken back to the days of the ancient Egyptians, where every day was International Cat Day. Today, we thought to show you who the real brains of the operation we call 'I Can Has Cheezburger' are - our cats! They've sat on our lap (and our keyboards) for nearly every article we've ever written, so they know just as much about the biz as we do. Yes, they do know all the company secrets. No, they won't give them to you (unless you have a fresh can of tuna handy).
So, you see? We're cat lovers just like you guys. We wake up every meowrning at 5 AM to feed our furry babies and then come back to bed to snuggle with them before work. We take them to the vet when they're feeling sick and also pay $600 for the vet to tell us they're just mad because we switched up their food brand. We love them every day, but today, we think it's time to give them some extra kisses. Do the same to yours!
That's right, folks: the day you've been waiting for is finally here. All those hours of planning, long nights of anticipation, and stockpiling of Lactaid pills will finally pay off, because today...is Cheesecake Wreck Day.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Jem," you're thinking - because you frequently get me mixed up with the 80s cartoon rocker - "Jem, how is it even possible to Wreck a cheese cake?"
Why, like this, my adorably confused reader:
[singing] "This-is-how-we-do-it!"
Aww, I see this was taken on my birthday, Mike & Angie. Well, thanks for the thought and all, but that drippy brown splotch has just reminded me: I...uh...don't eat drippy brown splotches. Sorry.
So that's a traditional cheesecake Wreck, but what if I told you it gets even Wreckier?
BEHOLD, THE WEDDING CHEESE CAKE WRECK!!!
Yes, my dear Wreckies, I'm afraid it's true: that is a "cake" made entirely of cheese. And not a sweet cream cheese, either - oh no. I'm talkin' the stuff that gets described with words like "sharp," "green veining," and "stinky feet." And it's a wedding cake.
I wish I could say this is a one-time fluke, but unfortunately wedding cheese "cakes" are a growing trend. They're not in addition to the traditional cake, either; they're in place of it. Meaning there is no actual wedding cake at these weddings - just cheese. Cheese! As if that's an acceptable substitute!
What happened to the time-tested wedding arrangement? You know, the one where we bring expensive linens, crystal, and espresso-makers in exchange for a free meal, a little boozy dancing, and a slice of gorgeously decorated, oh-so-scrumptious cake?
Frankly, it only adds insult to injury when someone tries to "pretty" these things up, too:
Fake flowers and ribbon pinned (yes, pinned) into cheese wheels does not an elegant "cake" make.
Still, nothing's as bad as combining cake, cheese, and a pork pie all into a single display:
The question is, can you tell which layer is which?
Cass J., Anony M., Stella P., & Second Anony., I Camembert it; all the Gouda puns Havarti been used!
*****
P.S. If you also enjoy cheesy puns, then BRIE-HOLD!
