Cats

Whoever said that cats are not compassionate clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. Cats are incredibly compassionate, they just do it in a different way than what you are perhaps used to. 

Our amazing, animal-loving users on Facebook shared their stories about things that their cats do or ways in which they behave that are clearly loving and caring, and we thought it was only right to share these stories with you, so that you can see just how amazing cats are. These stories are insanely heartwarming but also somewhat silly at the same time. Because no matter how loving cats are, they are silly little furballs at heart. 

If you have your own heartwarming but stilly pet story to share, come talk to us on our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime.

What can really be said about kittens that has not been said before? Kittens (and photos of kittens) make our hearts squeal in joy and delight. They are simply way too cute for any of us to handle and we can't handle it, thus our overwhelming need to squeal and squeeze them. 

We seriously can't get enough of any cat, at any stage in their life. 

Right now, we can't get enough of this orange little fuzzball shared with the Imgur community by user FeistyPeachtron. The commentary below is provided by user FeistyPeachtron, as well.

Goooood morning, folks! We know how you're feeling, it's Tuesday which is essentially Monday 2.0. The weekend seems so far and we're tired from Monday so we're even more tired this morning. We're definitely there with you. 

Thankfully, you've come to the right place for a lovely pick-me-up. Once a week, we gather the cutest and most wholesome pics and videos we come across and share them all here with you. It's a weekly dose of cuteness and it is absolutely vital to everyone's diet. Looking at these photos and videos, you can't help but feel some happiness yourself and we hope that dose of happiness carries throughout the rest of the week, until it's time for another refill. 

At 9 months old, Bently's owners discovered that he was very sick. Now, you would want the story to continue with them doing everything they can to help him and save him, but these owners were not that. Having found out that the procedures the kitten needed would cost them 800$, these owners opted to leave the clinic with just the exam. Thankfully, imgur user forte10 came to the rescue, offering to take the kitten off their hands and take care of it as if it was their own. 

So, this story has a hapy ending after all. The kitten got the help that he needed and is now a happy guy who loves nothing more than chilling with his new family. 

We want to thank forte10 for helping this poor kitten and for sharing their story. We want nothing more than to hear more of those. If you have a pet story of your own to share, come tell us about it in our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime. 

A tale as old as time... The first act: dads insisting on not getting a pet. The second: dads complaining about the pet the family got and acting like they can barely tolerate it. Act three: finding your dad cuddling your new cat/dog on the couch... still acting like they can only barely tolerate them. 

Really, they should stop pretending, we all see through them. No one can withstand the power of the cute.

r/dadswhodidnotwantpets on Reddit is the ultimate proof of that, considering how many people share their stories on it. It's wholesomeness galore, heartwarming stories and nothing else, and as someone with a dad just like one of those, I love these stories more than anything.

When it comes to gorgeous animals, cats may hold the number one spot. Think about it, not only are all felines absolutely gorgeous, they are elegant and graceful (...most times). As a species, we are madly obsessed with them and literally cannot stop looking at them -- there's a reason why the most popular search on the web is all cat-related. They are truthfully quite perfect. Even cats who aren't "perfect" are also perfect. 

We believe if you were to look up the word "beautiful" in the dictionary, there should just be an image of a cat and nothing else. And not only do we happen to admire our favorite feline companions, but they obviously love themselves just as much as we love them. And why shouldn't they? Like we said -- they're perfect! 

In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we explore just how much our feline companions admire themselves above all others. 

And if you want more cat enjoyment, be sure to check out last week's installment: Activating The Purr Machine.

Cats are awesome. Period. Inarguable. Anyone who truly hates on cats has obviously never actually hung out with one. And twitter has decided that it is time for all of us - cat ladies and gentlemen - to assemble and defend out little felines... you know, those felines who totally didn't rip your curtain or step on your sandwich earlier. It's time! We must defend them.

People misunderstand cats, that's the obvious explanation for all the cat hate. Cats simply love and show affection differently, and the people who don't bother learning the way cats show love think that cats are cold-hearted. To us, cat lovers, cats being loving is a mere fact that needs no explanation, so of course, we'll defend them when we are needed.

Happy Sunday, everyone! We hope you're in the mood for some kitty goodness because we have quite the lovely little assortment of cat videos all ready for your viewing! 

Once a week, we endlessly scroll through Instagram's news feed to find the most viral cat videos currently circulating the platform. Once we come across them (there are a lot) we narrow it down into several factors. The cuteness scale, is the first factor, and probably the most useless one because all cat videos are really heckin' cute. The next factor is the level of humor and comedy, which is a fine balance. And lastly, the level of wholesomeness. Once we deem a video worthy enough, we share it here with all of you. 

We hope you enjoy these adorable kitty vids and have a wonderful rest of the day! 

Well friends, it is almost Monday again, and we are here to make sure that you start your week off right with your weekly tumblr animal treat. This week, it is all cats and nothing but funny. Because of course the most purrfect way to start a week is with cats - in all shapes and sizes - but especially when they have that unique little tumblr humor touch. 

So, enjoy these silly and pawdorable tumblr cat posts, purr your way into this next week, and may your week be filled with cats and love and purrductivity.

Taking care of animals with health issues or behavior issues is always a challenge. It's hard to watch an innocent animal like that suffer when all you want is for them to be the happiest in the world. That difficulty, of course, is no reason to give up on them. And imgur user KDC0982 definitely didn't. 

The story of Gimli is a difficult one to read, but thanks to everything that KDC0982 has done for him, he is now much healthier and is happily getting cuddles on the couch with KDC0982's dad. Gimli is an absolute hero in our eyes, and his story is inspiring. We're so happy to see that he's better, and we wish he will get even better as he continues to live in this warm home. 

Goooood morning, lovely readers! And welcome to your little Sunday Funday pick-me-up -- fresh animal memes! We know it's nearly the start of a new week but let's not think about that right now, lets only focus on today and these hearty fresh animal memes we gathered just for you. 

Each week, we dig through the depths of the web to bring you only the best of the best when it comes to animal memes. We certainly hope it provides you with some good feels on this lovely day. 

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the weekend! 

And if you love fresh animal memes, you'll love our new Instagram account which features original daily memes and a lot more animal goodies! 

Cats have the weirdest habit of sleeping in the most uncomfortable ways, but the faceplant - that one might be the most iconic. 

It's as adorable as it is concerning. How do you breathe like that, cat? Are you okay? Have you had a rough day? Can I help you? But in reality, cuteness wins over, and we'd never actually move our cat from this ridiculously uncomfortable-looking sleeping position. I mean, we've seen cats chilling on eggs before, this really shouldn't be that surprising...

And of course, thank you to the subreddit r/catfaceplant for providing us with this quality cat faceplanting content. All of you are doing important work of keeping cat entertained day by day lol. 

When it comes to fashion, nothing quite works the runway like a cat doing their catwalk. Cats are elegant, cats are graceful. One of the very last trends we'd ever think to see on cats is old-fashioned bonnets. Yet, here we are. 

We have a feeling that if these cats could talk... they would be saying some pretty harsh words to their owners.

We do have to say though that these cats are rocking these bonnets better than any human possibly could. Why? Because cats are cats and no matter what, they will always look adorable. 

What do you guys think? Cats in hats or cats in bonnets? 

If you're a cat owner, then you know that the myth about cats being cold is wrong. Cats are just misunderstood because for some reason they're always compared to dogs. They have a different way of showing affection, but that doesn't mean that they don't have feelings. 

Tumblr cat owners know that well, and after a post about the most amazing cat went viral, they began sharing their own stories as well, and they are all so heartwarming and beautiful. Cats are amazing, they are not cold-hearted at all, and if you think that they don't have feelings, you are very, very wrong. These stories prove as much

It's finally here! We can finally rejoice for it is another lovely and quite purrfection Caturday! Caturdays are very important days around here, we take this day seriously and have many traditions that accompany it. The first tradition being the devouring of cat memes. Followed by even more cat memes. 

Cat memes are very important to Caturdays, they basically hold the day together. After we feel we've gotten our fill of cat memes, it's then time for our midday 16-hour nap in the sun. If you don't have any sunlight, turn on any heating device you have and make yourself comfortable around it. 

Afterwards, you may feast with the fanciest canned food you have in your pantry, you've earned it. Enjoy!
