icanhascheezburger_feedSome 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.
22 Pawfect Pictures of Fluffy Felines to Brighten Up Your Furday
Aug. 8th, 2025 04:00 pmicanhascheezburger_feedThere'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.

20 Clawsome Cat Memes for Anyone Pulling All-Nighter Antics
Aug. 8th, 2025 03:00 pmicanhascheezburger_feedCats 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.

icanhascheezburger_feedThis 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.

icanhascheezburger_feedIt 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.

icanhascheezburger_feedCats 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.

25 Fresh Feline Funnies for Cat People Looking to Silly-Up Their Furiday
Aug. 8th, 2025 09:00 amicanhascheezburger_feedFuriday 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.

icanhascheezburger_feedSometimes, 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.

icanhascheezburger_feedFurst 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!

Who Cut The Cheese?
Aug. 8th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedThat'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!

23 Hissterical Memes For Pawrents Whose Clingy Cats Crash Every Bathroom Break
Aug. 7th, 2025 04:00 pmicanhascheezburger_feedClose the bathroom door and suddenly, your cat becomes an undercover agent on a mission. One paw under the door. A chorus of dramatic meows. Maybe even a full-body flop against the frame. For creatures who pretend not to care, cats sure make a huge deal when you dare go to the bathroom without them.
Once inside, they act like they own the place. Perched on the sink. Sniffing the toilet paper. Staring into your soul while you try to go in peace. Some cats curl up on the bathmat like it's their throne. Others demand pets mid-toilet like it's totally normal. (It's not.)
Why do they do it? Maybe it's love. Maybe it's FOMO. Maybe you're just their emotional support hooman, and they can't risk you vanishing into the mysterious Water Room alone.
Either way, you better get used to having a tail-trailed potty partner. Because when you're living the cat life, privacy is a distant purrspective, and bathroom breaks are always a shared experience.

icanhascheezburger_feedThis furry friendship fiasco has all the classic catastrophe elements. The resident cat, a seasoned pawrent to fosters, was feeling a bit lonely, so his pawrents brought in Mina,a playful, skittish new feline friend they instantly adored. But, alas, the resident wasn't quite on board. Despite careful introductions, the duo's interactions have been more hissterical than harmonious, with hallway smacks reminding everyone this isn't quite the purrfect match.
Enter Edward, a familiar foster returned from a tough situation, who seems to have rekindled an old feline friendship. Suddenly, the resident is back to playing and purring, and even Mina is getting friendlier. This unexpected reunion has the humans scratching their heads, caught in a real tail of two cats (plus one) dilemma.
Now, the hoomans face a tricky balancing act between their love for Mina and the obvious bond between the resident cat and Edward. With the partner hesitant about adding a third permanent feline, the decision feels more complicated than a game of cat and mouse. Ultimately, when it comes to cats, it's clear who really runs the household and their preferences definitely steer the way forward!

20 Pawfect Pictures of Cats Side Eyeing a Plate of Sushi Waiting For a Salmon Roll to Fall
Aug. 7th, 2025 02:00 pmicanhascheezburger_feedWhen sushi night rolls around, cats become the ultimate purrveyors of fine fish fare. They don't just watch. They stealthily stalk the sushi platter like tiny furry ninjas on a mission to nab the freshest tuna morsels. Whether it's tuna nigiri or salmon sashimi, every bite is meowgnificent and basically a purrfect 10 in their eyes. But don't even think about wasabi. Cats know that stuff is strictly for hoomans brave enough to handle the fiery pawsitivity of the burn. Definitely not feline-friendly!
Some sneaky kitties turn into little sushi bandits, swiping chopsticks and batting them away with paws that clearly say, "This is pawsitively mine now." Others lounge near the sushi bar, delivering silent approval with a soft purr or a disdainful hiss if the fish isn't quite up to scratch. They're the toughest food critics with the softest fur.
Sushi night means hoomans feast while cats savor the sights and smells and try to steal a roll. After all, every kitty deserves a pawsome bite of sushi heaven on their plate!
