cat

Cats, cats, and more cats. We adore our cats, from the first moment we see them to the moment they leave us. They are a part of us, our families, our lives. 

We're there for their weird antics, late-night zoomies, early morning cuddles, all their vet trips, and sadly, for the moment they cross the rainbow bridge. We celebrate the life of humans and cats. Once a week, we honor all the cats, in this cat medley of different emotions. Some of these cat moments beautiful are silly, some are 'aww' invoking moments, and some are heartbreaking moments. There's a whole lot to take in but they're all cats and they are all beautiful. 

For those who have recently lost a loved one, our hearts are with you. They may be gone but never forgotten. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Bubby, the 3-legged cat.

Bubby hasn't had the easiest life. According to a Facebook post by Exploits Valley SPCA Adoptables, the year was 2012 when Bubby first emerged in a stranger's kitchen. By then, he was already full-grown and already missing his arm and half of his tail. Bubby had begun to form a friendship with the man whose house he randomly showed up in. Bubby would come often to play with the man's cat, Seson, and when Seson passed, Bubby still came around to visit. 

The man loved Bubby and wanted to keep him but was unsure if Bubby already belonged to anyone, as Bubby was constantly trying to get outside. He determined that Bubby could not be contained. 

In 2017, the man sadly passed away and Bubbly entered the house once more after his death but never returned. The man's family knew just how much the man cared for Bubby and wished for him to be cared for after his passing, but without Bubby's return, they assumed he had passed on himself. 

From 2017-2019, life had been undoubtedly difficult for Bubby. In the summer of 2019, a man by the name Ray Pinsent, who knew the man and Bubby's close relationship, happened to spot Bubby once more. Ray knew Bubby wouldn't be able to survive long on his own, so he set to catch him. Ray went to the man's house, there were new people living there who were afraid of cats, and he pleaded with them to please open the door should she see Bubby and call him. 

The followed day, Ray's phone rang and he was told the cat was in the kitchen. Ray took Bubby's lifeless body to the shelter and the vet claimed that Bubby began to purr while laying on the exam table. As Bubby was recovering, his picture was posted online for any information and that is when the man's daughter came forward, emotional, and brought Bubby the dishes he used to eat out of when we would come for visits. She told the story of Bubby to a rescue volunteer at the shelter. Bubby was then adopted by that same rescue volunteer Sarah MacLeod

Bubby's new owner, fell in love with his sad human eyes and couldn't part with him so she took Bubby home writing, "Bubby purrs the minute he wakes up in the morning and as he goes to sleep every night. He's never asked to go outside once. He must know that he's home now, for good."

We're over the moon that Bubby has found the purrfect family that will love him forever. You can follow Bubby's journey on Instagram!

"Peace was never an option" - cats. 

Cats are wonderful. They bring joy to our lives, they're constantly adorable even when they're asleep. Maybe, especially when they're asleep. Because there are moments that cats aren't as snuggly and sweet as think they to be. Sometimes, they are pure chaos. And by sometimes, we mean often. Their chaos is heckin' amusing, however, and if you're lucky enough to capture it -- like the images below have -- then you have some golden moments. These images below are hilarious and true and just looking at them, you can't help but sigh, nod, and say "cats."

Because, folks, there are multiple times of cats out there but the crazy cat is within them all: 

A lot of us are still working and studying from, and we have a feeling that though our cats may have gotten used to us being home so often, they have developed true resentment toward these strange light squares that we keep staring into all day long. 

I mean, it's true, cats' strange obsession with laptops goes back eons, but now, they have a real reason to hate them and a more obvious explanation for their obsession to us. These warm laptops have been taking up all of our time, and we haven't paying nearly enough attention to our cats. And we believe they have all collectively come to a decision that, you know what? They'll be taking our online classes with us. Right on top of our laptops.

When a legend passes, one must honor and remember them in the best way that they can. Today, we were sad to find out that David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has passed from an illness at the age of 85. And though we are heart wrenched to hear about his passing, we going to pay tribute to him in the best way that we and the internet can honor anyone - with the best Darth Vader Cat memes. 

May the force be with you, David Prowse, in this world and all the others. May he rest in peace and know that he will be remembered in our hearts as one of the most iconic, incredible actors, in one of our absolute ultima favorite franchises. Now, onto the memes and onto the smiles. 

It's finally here, the moment we've been waiting for all week - another purrfect Caturday! It's been a wonderful long weekend and we need to keep the party going with some of the internet's newest and hottest cat memes!

Each Caturday, we gather up the newest, funniest, and cutest cat memes we come across and after serving them to you on a giant silver platter, we take a giant catnap lasting roughly around 22 hours. When 3 a.m. rolls around, we awaken to cause chaos in our surrounding areas. It really just helps us connect more with cats and Caturday on a deeper level. 

If you missed out on last week's scrumptious offering, do yourself a favor and get in on those leftovers while they're still good! 

The human is pregnant, and a new little baby is about to join the household. And of course, Earnie can tell before even the humans can. There are signs of pregnancy everywhere, and Earnie has never been more excited to share the humans' attention with someone. 

Meowmoirs: it's time to welcome a very strange new kitten into the family.

Read about Earnie's reaction to his human about to give birth to a tiny new human and the things he does in the preparation for the new cub's arrival. Spoiler: Earnie is a good cat. 

Read last week's entry about the mimikitty - the cat in the mirror who copies everything that Earnie does here!

You can hop back to the first entry about the day of adoption right here as well. 

TGIF, and thank god for cats. It's Friday, and that means it's time to settle down with tea, your cat, your blankets, and this week's best of the best of cat twitter. Because twitter is full of cat lovers, and cat twitter absolutely never disappoints. 

So, in honor of thanksgiving, we think it's time to say thanks- thanks to our cats for being the best, fluffiest tractors and cats everywhere simply for existing as well as to every purrfect twitter user that purrvides quality cat tweets for us every single week.

Cats make our days brighter and happier, it's as simple as that. And each week, we celebrate them by bringing you all these amazing cats doing what they do. They could be defying gravity or they can be sleeping, it's just the way cats are and we honor that by honoring them with this list. 

Get ready to dig into this week's medley, nothing but cats and we're so grateful for it. 

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to Eric And Ollie, the Persian cats!

Introducing and Persian kitties - Eric, a Chinchilla Silver Persian, and Ollie, an exotic shorthair. The two cats also have a third member of the gang named Mr. Darcy, who is a Merle Pomeranian. These two cats are lighting up the Instagram world with their silly photos and adorable videos! These two cats may look like grumps but that couldn't be further from the truth! Eric and Ollie are both so very sweet and affectionate -- especially towards their owner/dad!

Their owner is constantly setting up awesome photoshoots for the cats and creating fun toys for them all to enjoy -- such as a cardboard express train! And the best part is that you can tell just how much Eric and Ollie's owner cares for his pets. If you're not following Eric and Ollie on Instagram, you're missing out because it's always a hoot! 

Ah, yes, the five C's have gathered once more to bring you this delightful compilation of cute (and very silly) cats. Is there anything better in this world than that? Don't answer, it was rhetorical. 

Looking at adorable cats doing their strange adorable cat-like things is much more than we could ever as for. It simply brings us joy and we hope that watching the following gifs will bring you joy as well. As we always say, cat gifs are a gift and that is the gift that keeps on giving! And with Thanksgiving coming up, we just can't help the gratitude we feel when we come across such cuteness. 

If you're finding yourself in a less-than-cheerful mood after seeing these cats, perhaps you'd benefit from even more cuteness. 

Cats do truly have a tendency to find themselves in places that they have no reason to be. They'll sit in weird places, like your ceiling fan, and they'll show up in places that they are deeeefinitely not welcome, like on a runway or on a football field. We see them there, and we're shocked for a moment, but then we're like haha yeah, they're cats. 

An up an coming twitter user by the name of Cats Where They Shouldn't Be, @catsnoplace, has decided to purrsent just that - all of the funniest, most ridiculous places cats find themselves in. And we enjoyed going through them so much, we're decided that you should definitely get to laugh at these kitties too.

Let's talk about cat hair. It is literally everywhere. If you have a cat (or some other pet), then you already know that you can't escape the hair. Sure, you can fight it and have a 'no pets on the furniture' rule, but in the end, those hairs will be there because they are everywhere. Cat hairs are on your clothes, even clothes you have yet to wear. They are on you the second you leave the shower, and sometimes, they're in your food. Cat hair is in the air you constantly breath -- cat hair can find its way ANYWHERE. 

What can be done about this neverending hair attack? Well, you're in luck! In collaboration with popular Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we bring you this creative and funny take on what you can do with all that cat hair floating around!
