With the summer ending, we have decided to celebrate the warmth one more time with a whole lotta kitties chilling in the sun. 'Sunshine babies' is what my friend likes to call them. Adorable little beings finding the warmest spot to soak up the relaxing energy of the sun. It doesn't matter where it is, whether on a pile of books on your desk, next to one of your windows, or if it's just one line of sun across your sheets, they'll find it, and they'll make the best of it.

They're the cuddliest when they're sunbathing. It's one of the best times to come to them and gently hug them and press our noses into their warm fur. And everyone loves cuddling calm kittens - adults, other cats, and even babies. So, let your heart warm by enjoying these gorgeous cats in the sunshine and have an incredible day!

Another blessed Caturday is upon us! You know what that means... memes galore! Swiftly followed by a 22-hour nap with multiple snack breaks in-between and finally, the creme de la creme --some crazy late-night zoomies.

All the ingredients needed to have the absolute Caturday experience. Get ready to dive into this week's crazy concoction of Caturday madness! 

Apparently, there's a theory that being groomed with a toothbrush reminds cats - kittens and older cats alike - of the way that their mothers groomed them when they were babies. The internet put it to the test, and... it seems like the theory is accurate. 

So, take a look at these videos and pictures of cats enjoying this strange activity. Some are hesitant at first, but all seem to warm up to it after a few tries at most. Incredibly, even the ones that really don't like being petted regularly take to it. Try it too if you have a cat. I know that I will. Maybe your cat will react in the same way. For more animal cuteness, we have some tiny baby dik-diks that'll just melt your heart.

Do you hear that? Sounds like happiness to us! It's finally Friday and we get to feature our user's hottest and freshest cat memes! That's a reason to celebrate on its own.

Welcome to Lolcats! Lolcats is the world's ultimate source for the largest and most original cat memes! Seriously. We have a neverending cat meme gallery you can spend days, months, maybe even years in... But don't quote us on that. 

Once a week, we feature the 25 memes with the highest upvotes and feature them on our site. Don't miss out on the fun, if you've got a cat meme you're looking to create, check out our meme builder! 

We all like to think we know everything there is to know about our favorite animals. The truth is, we'll never fully know everything about them and we will always be learning new facts. 

You might know all of these cat facts listed below, or you might not. You might learn a new fact and that's always exciting and fun. 

Either way, we can all agree that we love cats and their facts only make us feel that much more closer to them. 

Possible one of the strangest cat habits - hanging out inside your shoes. It being a lil weird doesn't make it any less cute of course. It just might be one of the cutest things in the world to walk into your home and find your kitten sleeping inside of your shoe. 

It's probably the smell, and yeah, the inside of our shoes will definitely smell gross to us. But to our kittens, your shoes smell like you. They smell... very strongly of you. And if they like you and your smell, your shoes are the best place to get a nice whiff of that. They're basically showing their appreciation for you when they cuddle your shoes instead of you. It makes sense to them, we promise. 

It might also be the case that after you walk outside, your shoes actually lose some of your smell and possibly even smell like other animals, so when your cat rubs up against them, they're spreading their own smell on your shoes. Very possessive. In the cutest way. So, it's all good stuff. Weird, but good. Cats do have a habit of sitting in places they don't belong, but this isn't one of them.

Whether you like tattoos or not, that's completely your preference. However, regardless of how anyone might feel about tattoos, one must admit that it is art. 

These following cat tatts, or rather 'cattoos,' are so intricate and detailed, they can't help but leave viewers in awe. And if those realistic and elaborate tatts aren't really your style, there are also so many delicate cat tattoos out there that have us gushing over the cutest and simplicity. 

Scroll down for the freshest and coolest ink we've seen recently:

Cats are a little bit of everything. They are hilarious in unexpected ways, they are adorable always, and somehow, they manage to take up so much space in our hearts, without even trying. 

They are truly special animals and anyone with a cat will tell you so. We are truly fortunate to have them in our lives, even if they aren't there for all of it. 

This week's cat medley features the main cute cat categories; cute and funny. Yet, there's a sprinkle of life (glow ups, transformations, and fighters) and sadly but inevitably, death. It's important to us that we acknowledge a cat's life through and through. As heartbreaking as it may be, we honor the cats that have left our lives by remembering them. They may be gone but never forgotten. To those who have recently lost a pet, our hearts are with you. 

You daily dose of cuteness coming right up! And what's cuter than little widdle kittens held right in the very palms of your hands? Soft kittens with tails that are tiny and fluffy, eyes round and huge, ears that they've yet to grow into, and the enormous amount of trust and love that they must have for you to allow you to hold them in that way. It may be something tiny in your hand, but to you, it's like holding the whole entire world. And in that moment, you're the entire world to them too.

So, have your stomach flutter with butterflies and your lips tremble with adoration, and let these little kittens fill your heart as well as your palms. And if you want more tiny cuteness, we have a list of illegally small kittens for you to check out.

Though fall has just started and many of us are suffering from a serious heat wave, before the cold finally hits, we thought that this is just the time to show appreciation to what nature can provide us with. Cats and flowers. Nature's most beautiful creations, right? So, what's better than combining the two and taking in some incredibly aesthetically pleasing, aww-worthy pictures of our darling princes and princesses wearing flower crowns? 

It's not just cats too. If you're in the mood to celebrate nature's beauty some more and would like a dash of tongue lolling, pawdorable dogs in flower crowns, we've got you covered. 

Yes, you indeed read that correctly. Even though bath time is normally the worst nightmare for every cat owner and most house cats, some cats actually do like playing around in water. Either random house cats who confuse their owners with their enjoyment of water or special cat breeds who are known for liking water. Ridiculous, I know, no scratching or screaming or anything like that. Only calm kittens who enjoy taking baths, swimming, walking in the rain, or just splashing around. 

Lucky cats owners, honestly. It would probably be a blast to watch your cat happily play around in the bath. But alas, if an accident happens, and your cat ends up falling into your bath or stepping under the shower spray, be prepared for them to knock everything out of the way on their frantic sprint out of the room. At least it's funny though. 

Every cat owner know that cats looove sitting on stuff that they really shouldn't be sitting on. You get up from your chair for half a second? Hi, yes, it's your cat's chair now. You put your laundry on your bed? It'll be full of fur before you even blink. Your laptop? You mean the warm glowy thing that you bought for your cat as a new bed, right? That's definitely what your cat thinks.

There is a line though. There has to be. Because cute as they are, if your cat starts sitting on your turtle, it might be time to get the water spritzer out. Or pause to take a picture, then quickly save your turtle, then laugh. That's also a good option.

Have you ever wondered about what your pets do when you aren't watching them? Well, these twitter users lucked out and found out. Or didn't luck out. Because whatever you think these hooligans might be doing, you probably don't expect to catch your two dogs making out or your cat licking your toothbrush. Sometimes, they even try to be sneaky, thinking that you won't catch them, but then they're sprinting across the room and something ends up broken. Yeah...

And if these shenanigans are not enough, we've got some perfectly timed photos of cats caught midair and dogs doing things that they shouldn't be for you. We love our pets no matter what though, that's undeniable! We just... prefer to not drink from the same glass as them.

Sometimes, cats decide that different working establishments theirs to rest at, whether that be universities, supermarkets, hotels, or law firms. Most people don't question it. Cats will go where they want to. But when one day, your hospital's resident cat shows up with the ID badge of a security guard, one that looks identical to the real ones given by the hospital, with its own unique call code and everything... … you might have to do a double take.

We made it. Another week bagged and it's finally our favorite day -- Caturday! 

Get those fuzzy slippers on and a nice, hot cup of coffee because we're celebrating Caturday the lazy way. Truthfully, this is what cats would do and would want for us. To be comfy, take huge catnaps, and admire cats (of course).

And what better way to honor and admire cats than by laughing at some ridiculous cat memes? We can't think of anything better. 

Enjoy us in our Caturday ritual of laughter and naps!
