cat

Senior cats have a warm spot in our hearts. I, personally, have a senior cat of my own of 15 years and I cherish every moment with my handsome old man! 

Our senior pets are a large part of our hearts. Whether you just adopted a senior animal, or have had them since they were young, we have such a strong connection to our older and calmer furbabies. For some of us, our cats have been there with us from a young delicate age and have watched us grow, watched us cry, watched us fall in love, pretty much anything you can think of -- your pet was there for it. 

We love our senior babies and do all we can to let them do how much we love them because truth be told, we don't know how much longer we have with them so it's best to just hug/pet/kiss/cuddle them any chance we get. Here are some senior cats who are still going strong and looking great!

There are all kinds of important Twitter accounts out there! For example, there are the wholesome 'Thoughts of Dog,' and 'We Rate Dogs,' but what about cats? 

Twitter account, 'Is there a cat in this movie?' is providing the public with very valuable information. Do you ever stop and wonder if a cat is within a movie or not? This account provides the answer, and a word to the wise, if a cat is featured within a horror movie, purrhaps it's best to stay away from that particular film. 

This Twitter account is very important indeed, if we're ever on the fence about seeing a film and then find out a cat will appear at some point, consider us sold! Thank you. 'Is there a cat in this movie?' for providing the public with such a valuable service, we are forever in your debt! 

It's about darn time we gave a shout out to all those cross-eyed beauties out there! There are so many cats with so many unique features about them, we can't help but paws and admire them all! And today, we're doing just that and admiring all the beautiful cats who happen to be cross-eyed. 

Cross-eyed cats are beyond adorable and that little quirk just honestly elevates that cuteness to another level! You've probably noticed that Siamese cats tend to be cross-eyed if not all the time, turns out that being cross-eyed is the only way a Siamese cat can actually see straight! Pretty wild, right? Otherwise, a cross-eyed cat may be the result of nerve damage. But we won't something like that stop us from absolutely adoring these purrfect lil creatures! 

If you have a lovely cross-eyed furbaby, share an image with us in the comments! 

It takes a lot of work to get a feral kitten to trust you, let alone two of them. But it's the kind of hard work that's worth every second. 

This viral thread on imgur by straightcreepen tells the story of two feral kitten siblings who were living in an industrial area near a junk yard and were picked up by a rescue. The kittens would have had to have been euthanized had they not been saved and later tamed, but luckily, they were in the hands of people who know how important it is to help feral kittens. 

It took time, and it took love, but both kittens learned to trust and love the humans around them. And now, the sweet boys have been adopted - together! 

Read their heartwarming story and maybe share it with someone who has misconceptions about feral kittens and the joy they can bring. 

A true Christmas miracle! A 14-week-old kitten with no eyes was rescued by the RSPCA and reunited with his half blind brother. 

As the RSPCA reports, the blind kitten, later named Gabriel, despite having no eyes, is completely healthy. It is assumed that Gabriel had the cat flue, and so it is a miracle in and of itself that he survived. 

Krissy Raine, the RSPCA inspector who rescued Gabriel, explained: "It's amazing that Gabriel survived. I took him to a vet and they believe he had cat flu which left his eyes badly damaged and they perished. But he is very healthy, he needed no treatment from the vets at all." She continued: "Even though he was from a feral colony when I took him to the vets, they were shocked by how calm and friendly he was and instantly fell in love with him. We named him Gabriel as he is an absolute angel and everyone who meets him adores him!" 

That's not all though. A second miracle happened when Gabriel was brought into the shelter. There, he met another half-blind cat who was rescued a few weeks prior from the same area. Arthur is also believed to have had the flu which damaged one of his eyes. That eye had  to be removed through surgery, but thankfully, his other eye was saved. 

When Gabriel was brought into the shelter, "[t]he brothers instantly recognised each other."

And today, they are living together in the same foster home. "Gemma couldn't believe it when she realised she had rescued his brother a few weeks before and we knew we had to reunite them. Arthur was being looked after by a foster family and they were so excited to hear that his brother had been rescued - they welcomed him with open arms too. They are both with the same foster family now, they are such calm, caring and affectionate cats - such special little angels. Now that they are back together, Arthur can guide Gabriel through life."

The brothers will now be looking for a forever home where they will hopefully be able to live together. "It's a Christmas miracle for Gabriel and Arthur - we're just so pleased that they are together for Christmas Day, it's the perfect gift for them."

We wish this pair of angels luck in their new lives and a forever home in the new year! For more positive animal stories, take a look at our collection of the best animal news stories of 2020!

Welcome back, animal lovers, to this week's most adorable, most funny, most wholesome cat videos! And we'll be honest with you, this week's videos are truly something special. We've got five amazing videos that have us either laughing or aww'ing and we're happy with both of those emotions! 

Once a week, we scroll through the endless cat videos on Instagram (trust us, there are a lot), and we discover the most popular one currently circulating that platform, and from there we decide whether or not it's worthy for our lovely user's eyes. The answer is almost always a definite yes and this week is one of those definite yes's.

Get yourself ready for some cat goodies! 

Another week, another Sunday, and this one is especially full of cheer! Christmas just happened, new years is approaching, and to help you get into the joyous spirit even more, for this week's tumble treat, we've collected for you some purrfectly hilarious cat posts. 

We know no better way to celebrate the tail-end of the year and start the week on the right paw than with some hiss-terical cats. And tumblr cat hilarity is just extra special in its own tumblr way. Because tumblr users love cats almost as much as the users on this website do, and that really means something.

So, enjoy the week, friends. We hope you had an amazing Christmas and that you'll have a happy new year!

Welcome to Christmas - the holiday that every cat loves the most. The house is covered in shiny things, there's a tree inside of the house, so. much. excitement. is happening. But, while we're thinking about ways to fortify our trees against our cats, our cats are choosing their own favorite Christmas decorations, namely, themselves. 

Because we know that the best Christmas ornament in our house is inevitably going to be our cat. And we also know that we can't really be mad at them for it. We'll be taking pictures first and removing our cat ornaments second - prioritizing correctly. 

This twitter thread that went viral has taken "dog ate my homework" and raised it by 1000 to "cat ate my degree", and we think that there's a clear winner. 

Imagine, working so hard and so long for this poor piece of paper and then your cat deciding that it's its new snack. I would probably be as upset as @mamblonumber5, or how he now calls himself "guy *whose cat ate his degree". His outraged and unintentionally hilarious tweet caused other twitter users to chime in as well, laughing as well as sharing pictures of their own pets eating their degrees. Even the university reached to him in a tweet, so there's a chance he might get another one of these precious papers. 

Lesson learned: important papers shall be framed right away.

2020 is almost over, guys! And the only way 2021 can go is up. That doesn't mean that eeeeeverything about 2020 was bad. Some things were quite good actually. With people spending so much time at home, we had animals taking the opportunity and running outside on the streets, taking back over nature, and we had super bored people at home making memes, memes, and more memes. 

So... everyone won. Kind of. 

Regardless! We have to look at the positives of this year wherever we find them, and this cat meme list is the culmination of the too much time people had at home. From quarantine memes to your classic cat shenanigan memes, here are the 50 best cat memes of 2020!

Meet Memphis! He is a cat who was born with two noses and was rescued by @theoddcatsanctuary. Though he may look a little unique and different, he is not any less beautiful for it. And his message is just as beautiful as him.

"[S]preading the word that different is beautiful," the bio of his twitter account says, and we support that message wholeheartedly. One can only aspire to be as unique and memorable as this adorable guy. And his special needs siblings, who are also unique and beautiful, pose with him in pictures sometimes too!

Another round of hearty, fresh, and nutritious cat snaps coming right up! As cat lovers, we can tell you that cat snaps are a very important part of a healthy diet. And because it fills us up with all these heart-warming nutrients, we prepare a cat snap feast once a week. 

This week, we have quite a good handful of holiday-infused cat snaps which simply just amps up the flavor and overall feel of the meal. We really couldn't help ourselves and went to town on this meal, be sure to eat up as much as you can before it's all gone!

And if you're feeling like you could use some dessert to wash down all this cat snap goodness, look no further. 

Some people have trepidations when it comes to bringing feral cats into their homes. It's hard work, we know, getting them to relax and trust you, but we also know that every cat needs love, care and protection, especially those who are feral but find their ways into our homes. A lot of times, someone like us is their best if not only hope, and though it's true that it's hard work, it is worth it. 

This viral thread by straightcreepen on imgur proves just that. Feral cats are not easy to work with, and it takes a long time to get them to trust you, but once you do, there is nothing more gratifying and heartwarming. Most cats' love is hard-earned, but the love of a feral cat is especially hard-earned, but it is also especially worth it.
