The life of a stray cat can truly be challenging. The life of a stray female cat… somehow even worse. There is no way to avoid it as a stray female kitty. You are irresistible not only to us, cat people, who want to pet you all the time because you are cute, but also to other cats. And that means that itty bitty fluffy consequences are bound to happen. Of course, living life as a stray momma cat is one of the biggest challenges that there is, so… sometimes, you have to do something about it.

This is not the first time that we have heard of a pregnant cat needing help, and it is probably not going to be the last. Helping a momma cat, especially when she goes out of her way and braves her fears to ask a human for help, is the best and kindest things that you can do for her. It's life-changing. And one thing that we can promise you - if you do it, she will be the most grateful creature in the world. 

That awkward moment when you go to Target for paper towels and toothpaste, and you come back with a tuxedo cat (and not paper towels or toothpaste).

When the CDS calls, you answer. That's the name of the game for feline lovers all over the world, and even when you try to push the CDS away, it reels you back in. Felines are persuasive in that way, even when they don't try to be. I guess that's just the magic of a furry coat of fur and a purr that can heal us all. What a world we live in, am I right?

While this human was leaving Target, they saw a glimpse of a black and white furry fella who seemed out of place. They write it off, but the next day, they see the fuzzy guy again. They decide to take him to the vet, and then to the shelter… Their first mistake. You simply don't give back a cat that the CDS gifted you. It's almost sacrilegious. That decision didn't last long, if you couldn't tell…

It's nice to know that the CDS always ensures a catto in need gets the happy ending they deserve—and pet parents are to thank for that!

The work week is back and as much as we might not be ready to get to work, we are all likely in the mood to goof off, because there is nothing more enjoyable than messing around when you are meant to be working hard. So we are kicking off this working week with a strong advocation for not working. And we called upon the experts of slacking off, our funny feline friends, who were more than happy to oblige and share with us all a collection of their silliest photos to get us hopped up on a double dose of delight.

So grab your feline loving friends and gather around to get some silliness in your serious bones with this collection of silly cat children, and if you want even more funny cattos to waste your working time then check out these chaotic cattos.

This is one of the main ways that cats are different than dogs - dogs are inherently trusting, but cats? You have to earn the trust of a cat. A lot of people get purrfectly upset when they bring a cat back for the first time because most cats will hide for at least a few hours upon arriving to a new home. But for all of us feline expurrts, we know that this is normal. 

Cats need time to adjust to a new environment, even if it's one that is full of love. Many will mistake this for the cat not liking them, but it's all just part of the kitty's process. 

Some cats take longer than others to warm up. It's not uncommon for especially shy cats to take weeks, even months, to come out of hiding. Unfortunately, a lot of cats are returned during this period because their hoomans weren't patient enough. However, if you can wait it out, the scared baby will eventually understand that you are purrfectly trustworthy, and then you will have a best friend fur life.

That's exactly what happened below - a loving cat purrson adopted a shy shelter cat, who spent months hiding in her home. Every night after work, she would read to the cat, or speak about her day, leaving treats for her to take after she left the room. Eventually, the cat came out, and now she's queen of the house.

One of the worst things that we have gone through as cat owners was having our cat run away. It happened once and only once, and luckily, our kitty came back to us 24 hours later, but those 24 hours were some of the absolute worst. The concern, the fear we experienced, we haven't felt anything quite like it since. The knowledge that our spoiled little kitty would most likely not survive out there on its own for long haunted us. We cannot imagine having to go through something like that longer than 24 hours, but it does happen.

Still, cats are loyal creatures, no matter what haters might say about them. Cats remember us, they remember where they're from, and once they find their way back - whether it's 24 hours later or a year later - they will remember us. We know that, but we still understand the fear. It's a good thing that stories like these exist though- stories that remind us that no, we should not be afraid of our cats forgetting us.

The title says it all, and we all understand what it means. There's a tacit implication of what it means to be "cat." Cat humor, cat behavior, cat anything is so iconically cat. From their paranoid crazy eyes, to being calm one minute to running over to bounce off the walls the next, cats really hold up to their stereotypes. There's never a time when I meet a cat and it isn't just the most cat-like cat to me. Even a white, soft, fluffy, beautiful cat is still...a cat. There's something stripped of sophistication, in the most cat way. 

My cat is so cat he doesn't even know it (or maybe he does). Sometimes I think he's actually a little man in the body of a cat, or a baby. His facial expressions are too human-like for me to believe he's fully cat, but it's exactly what makes him so cat...cat-ception! So enjoy these adorable and hilarious cat memes and ponder if your cat is really that cat.

Guard your ankles and grab that wet food can opener!—The cat council has summoned all human cat lovers to the front row. With kibble gravy in hand, all humans must report to their feline overlord, reporting this quarterly cuddle assessment. Alas, since there can never be enough cuddling with a cat, the kitties have a few demands to make. 

Like always, cat lovers will always yield to the requests of their silly feline. Since day 1, when the CDS dumped this puffball of menacing kitten energy and mischief, a cat owner has been a servant of their catto's every request. Too cold on the floor? We carry them to their favorite sunny spot in the window. Not enough kibbles in the bowl? Here, kitty kitty, have a second bowl of food alongside it. Not enough toys? Okay, fine, we'll go to PetSmart again for another toy overhaul. 

It's not an easy life to be a cat lover. Our cats expect the world from us, and we'll just have to humbly oblige… Again.
