We're in the big leagues now! We've gathered up some of the greatest cat gifs of ALL TIME. They're all waiting for you right below! But first, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is cat gifs. They are truly a gift to us all. Whenever we're feeling down or just in need of a pick-me-up, we turn to cat photos. And they provide us with a lot of joy. The only thing slightest better than looking at photos of cats is watching gifs of cats. A photo will always look wonderful but gifs can really show a cat's personality, and we think that, sometimes, that's what we really need. 

Let's enjoy this big bowl of happiness together! Dig in, fellow cat lovers! 

This is one of the strangest videos we've ever come across. Do you remember the Pixar film 'Ratatouille'? And how "anyone can cook"? Perhaps this is a true way of thinking. That anyone can do anything... even animals. When we think of cats on pianos, we think of them running across them during their regular psychic runs, and with each step on the piano keys, a loud and awful sound that would also terrify the cat running across it. 

Not this cat. This cat in the video below, is standing up on the piano seat and it presses individual piano keys and the result? Kind of amazing. A lot of Redditors were also impressed by this cat's clear skills and we're afraid to comment on their thoughts. 

We were first introduced to Nana last year when her awwdorable self went viral due to her extremely expressive photos. With those big expressive eyes and silly little mouth movements, Nana soon became a queen on the internet and a meme legend! 

Her unique expressions quickly made her a star on the Chinese social media platform known as Weibo. Nana has an impressive following of 245,000+ followers and once you scroll down you'll probably want to follow too! If you haven't already, that is. 

Get yourselves ready to fall in love with a real starlet! 

Cats are weird. They're total oddballs and we can't help but love them for it. Sure, sometimes it's super annoying and inconvenient, like when they decide to wake you up at the crack of dawn for literally no reason. Probably because they're bored. Or how they chew up your new plants. Or how they will use the litter box but for some reason, a single poop nugget is found outside the litter box. Why? We have no idea. 

Cats do what they want to do and sometimes they can be sweet and other times... just the weirdest heckin' creatures. Yet, we wouldn't have it any other way. We guess that saying is true; Cats: can't live with them... can't live without them. 

Cheers to all the cats out there and all their owners who put up with their constant sh*t! 

In this slightly old but most definitely gold Twitter Thread, we are being yelled at by Twitter user, @youthfvlly, for interrupting their kitten's focus willing studying. Quite honestly, we couldn't help ourselves and we definitely deserved to be scolded. And while we want this little kitten to have the best education out there, we really can't say we wouldn't do it again. 

But before you judge us, you just need to scroll down and look at this calico kitten studying hard on a big desk. It's too precious and even talking about doesn't do the images justice. We have a feeling you're about to be scolding too. And probably us too. 

Worth it.  

If you're ever home alone at night and happen to hear a sound, you'd get a bit nervous, wouldn't you? We know we would! The second we're alone, any sound could be dangerous and your senses are more anxious and alert. However, if you're home alone at night, and happen to have a cat, things aren't as scary. Why? Any noise you might be hearing is probably your cat. And if it isn't and your cat doesn't seem to be too worried or staring off into nothing, then maybe everything is alright. 

That's what we like to tell ourselves, anyway. 

We're in a cat state of mind! When you think of cats, what comes to your mind? Their cuteness, right? How about how weird and wacky they can be? Or how they can bring joy into one's life, or joy from one single unexpected action. For example, say you have a cat who never seems to want anything to do with you or a cat who is often skittish and hides most of their day. Then, suddenly, it's just a random day but they have decided to come to greet you, or perhaps they've even gone so far as to even sit on or near you! Such a small and simple gesture really shows us their love. 

Cats bring us so much comfort and happiness, we're just here to return to favor! A little cat appreciation for all things cats. 

All cats have their little quirks and issues, but one thing that they all have in common is that they looove being hooligans. They love sitting where they shouldn't, knocking things off shelves, and chewing cords. It's true, not every cat does it, and some cats grow out of eating your cables, but some don't, and our ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared some of these hilarious stories with us. 

All jokes aside, remember though, if your cat is one of them delinquents who chew on cords, do your best to hide these cords rather than leave them dangling. We wouldn't want out little babies to be hurt during their playtime. And now, onto the laughs!

Attention seeking... we've all been there. But do you know who is constantly there and constantly milking it? Pets. Pets have totally perfected the art of seeking attention, and they do it flawlessly. How does it work so well? Well, we think their adorableness comes into play here quite strongly. You cannot resist a cute face when it's asking you for some love. That's way too difficult for any living being. 

Next, most attention-seeking pets often get in your way when you're trying to focus or just taking a moment that doesn't involve petting your pet (we know, we know, anyone like that is obviously a monster). In the end, they will triumph, because when it comes down to it... we are weak. At least when it comes to our beloved pets. 

There are certain risks that come with allowing your cat to hang around outdoors. You can never know exactly what kind of adventures they get into before they come back home in the evening. You can only wonder about it, curious out of your mind. Except that sometimes, you accidentally find out exactly where they're going, and you find them in the weirdest of all places.

You might find them hanging out at a neighbor's when you bring something over, you might find random pictures of them hanging in restaurants or other people's apartment listings. It's absolutely hilarious. And somehow, it only makes us more curious about where they are at all times. 

Outsmarting a cat is an achievement like no other. They are little hooligans, and they think that they are so dang smart. Even when they get ridiculously stuck in our curtain and scream until we get them out, they are still doing it on purpose obviously, they are still the smartest creature in the room. But sometimes, just sometimes, we can properly outsmart them. 

These weirdly informative yet hilarious tumblr posts tell the story of such cases. I mean, you have to get your silly cat to drink sOmeHOw, and if it means having to convince your cat that it's really just being sneaky and clever and drinking from your cup, well, that's just par for the course. 

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  -- Winnie, the showering kitty! 

Meet Winnie, an adorable and quite unusual kitty who was adopted from a shelter in London, Ontario! What's unique about Winnie, you might ask? Well, she loves to shower. She also loves to chow down on veggies, walk on a treadmill, AND actually enjoys being vacuumed! All these common things we believe all cats hate but here's Winnie defying them all! 

Be sure to follow Winnie on Instagram for more shower time adventures! 

Read up on last week's star on Instagram, Munchkin Hinako, the real-life 'Puss in Boots'! 

We're feeling quite low on energy... must be time for our weekly serotonin boost! And where do we find enough serotonin to help build us up again? All the adorable animal subreddits, of course! Once a week, we scroll through all the cutest animal photos and videos that are currently trending online and bring them forth here for all of you to enjoy. 

It's our weekly ritual and a quite important one at that. This dose of cuteness is here to help us get through the rest of today, and hopefully, maybe even through the rest of this week! That's the goal, anyway. We hope you've got your prescriptions ready but it's time to refill! 

We, cat owners, know that our cats are majestic beings. They are descendants of great, dangerous, glorious felines. So, of course, we make sure to treat them in a way that is appropriate. 

We present them with water, food, snacks. We pet them when they want it and get scratched when they don't. But the first thing we do to show our royal cats the respect that they deserve is give them a name - the most regal and majestic- okay, fine, we call them the dumbest things sometimes. 

Beef Stroganoff, Green Bean Casserole, Meowgan Freeman. They're all beautiful, regal and absolutely hilarious.
