Every single one of us, cat owners, has a story to tell about how we chose and adopted our fur babies. Some of us rescued our cats from terrible lives on the street, others went into a shelter to pick up a kitten then ended up changing our minds and adopting a senior pet. and some of us... well, some of us didn't choose at all and were instead picked by the cats. 

Last week, our purrfect ICanHasCheezburger users shared some of their stories with us - stories of cats adopting them, and they were so cute and wholesome, we simply had to share them with all of you guys as well. Thank you to everyone who shared, and we hope that your cats have the absolute best lives living with their humans of choice. 

Oh, cats... they have some of the strangest habits we have ever seen in an animal. From cats' strange fascination with fresh laundry, having to put their booties on our warm clothes right after they come out of the dryer, to cats' eternally weird obsession with human food, having to put their paws in it even when they know it's food that they won't like. And now, we're gonna talk about cats and their ridiculously pompous water drinking habits.

Some cats will be normal about it, and then there are the ones that will have a whole ritualistic dance around their water bowl before drinking. It's hard to get cats to be interested in their water sometimes, and there are creative ways that you can get your cats do drink, but to be honest, we think some of them are just being jerks on purpose and enjoying having us run around and serve them. 

Accidents happen sometimes with your pets. It could be the pets being silly. It could be that your cat locked itself inside a drawer in the middle of the night and scared the heck out of you. It could be that your dog excitedly made a mess in your house while you were away and was SO happy to tell you about it when you came back.

Or... it could be that you were the silly one. A small distraction, and suddenly, your food tastes a bit funny. Yep, accidentally using your pet's products is always a weird experience. If you do it on purpose, you're either weirder, or you are a genius, there's no in between. Our awesome ICanHasCheezburger users definitely know what using their pet's products feels like, and they were all too happy to share, and we had to share some of the laughs with all of you guys. 

People who think cats are the laziest animals ever have clearly never expected the madness of cats' random bursts of energy at three in the morning. These little hellions will, out of nowhere, decide that now is the best time to do a Tokyo drift around the entire kitchen, climb the wall like a spider, hop off, gallop onto jour faces as we're sleeping and finally end up accidentally locking themselves inside of a cabinet. 

Cats are cray-cray little creatures, and though it's true that they sleep most of the day, when they're not sleeping, cats will be getting random zoomies and destroying your entire house. We still love them though, delinquent behavior, murder-mittens, and all the rest. 

People who say cats are cold are people who we would bet have never had a cat of their own. It's true, sometimes it can take a cat a long time to warm up to its human, but with enough love and patience, most cats will show you the affection that you so deeply want. Cats are not cold at all, they just have funny ways of being compassionate sometimes. 

Other times, cats will show their humans so much love, we will have no choice but to feel incredibly blessed and thankful. And when our purrfect ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared such stories with us, we were so amazed, we had to share them with you as well. Get the tissues our, friends, because this collection has got some tear-jerkers. 

Cats... oh, we love cats. But goodness, cats can be such weirdos. Of course, cat people like us only love them all for it. Just ask our amazing ICanHasCheezburger users who have shared some of their cats' weirdest behaviors with us. They love their cats more than anything in the world, and now, we love their cats that much more too. 

We have our own weird cat behaviors to showcase too, of course. How can anyone forget about cats and their insane obsession with plants for example, or a cat's unexplainable desire to sit on our fresh laundry? The weirder they are, the more we love them, isn't that right? 

Cats have a whole lot of weird obsessions. For some reason, cats have an eternal struggle with plants. They also have an unreasonable desire to instantly sit on our fresh laundry and cover it with their fur. Of course, they have their love for catnip, but at least that obsession makes sense. 

The obsession they have with human foodthough, now that's a weird one. No matter what we have on our plate - whether it's food that they want or a cucumber, they will get in your face, and if you turn your back for a second, they will get in your plate, to try to... do something with it. Because goodness knows, most of the time they don't even eat it. Cats just like making sure that they're not missing out on anything, we're sure that's the reason. That, and also, cats are jerks lol.

Sometimes, we really can't help ourselves. We come across an animal in need, and we absolutely have to rescue it. Doesn't matter if it's an itty bitty trashcan kitten or if it's an adorable fox whose brother got run over by a car. We're animal lovers, and we can't see animals in pain, so we do whatever we can to help. And more often than we think... that includes a little more than we planned on. 

There are those times that a pet who was only 'supposed to stay for a few days' finds a little spot in our heart, and then, it find a big spot in our family. Adoption stories are always heartwarming, but when they're unexpected adoptions of pets who just pawed their way into their forever home, it's even more wholesome. 

Unfortunately, cats have a reputation for being cold-hearted. It's hard to say that it's unearned - they're quite aloof, sometimes it takes years until they finally warm up to you. And sometimes, people just don't understand the special ways in which they express love. You gotta learn how to read the signs, the same way that you do with humans. Different creatures express love in different ways. 

Cats are not cold hearted at all, and our cat-loving ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users have decided to prove it by sharing stories of their cats showing them love with us. And the stories were so wholesome, we simply had to share it with you as well. Bask in the love everyone, and if the love stings a little, that's just part of having a cat.

There is nothing more wholesome and heartwarming than some pet adoption stories. So, when our animal-loving ICanHasCheezburger users decided to share their pawdorable kitty cat's stories, we absolutely had to share them with you - so that your hearts melt of joy just as much as ours had. 

The stories here are incredibly diverse - from people adopting tiny newborn itty bitty kitties to people adopting pets who no one else wanted anymore. Reading each and every one of them is a guaranteed way to make yourself smile. Each is heartwarming and beautiful and makes us so happy that there are people adopting animals in need all the time. 

If you're a cat owner who allows its cat to go outside and just hang out, have you ever wondered about where your cat goes? What kind of adventures does it have? Perhaps it has a whole life away from home that you know nothing about. Except that sometimes, entirely on accident, you end up finding your cat in the most unexpected places. 

And other times, like the hilarious Facebook comments from our amazing ICanHasCheezburger users that you're about to read, you end up finding your neighbor's cat in some weird places - i.e. your own home. Cats do whatever they want to do and go wherever they wanna go, that's their nature, and all we can do is accept it and laugh at it when appropriate - like now. 

Anyone who says cats don't love their humans doesn't know what they're talking about, and these heartwarming cat Facebook posts from our amazing cat-loving ICanHasCheezburger users prove just that. Cats have their own way of showing love - cats show love differently than dogs, they show love differently than humans, but they love hard nonetheless. 

You just need to know how to appreciate their love, even if it takes a while for them to warm up to you. Eventually, you will learn to understand the exact ways in which they love you, and nothing will be more gratifying and fulfilling than that. So, enjoy this collection of wholesomeness and may your heart warm with love. 

Giving a name to your pet is something sacred. It is like naming a child. It's the name you'll be using when you ask them "who's an adorable little baby?", it's the name you'll be yelling when they inevitably do something that they know they're not supposed to do. The name must be chosen with care and with the future in mind... 

Oh, we're kidding, the best pet names are the silliest ones. There is nothing funnier than walking your dog outside and yelling "Beef Stroganoff, don't eat that!" It's perfect. And apparently, our lovely Facebook users have given some of the silliest (strangely food-related) names to their pets, and we just had to share our favorite ones with you.

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. 

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!
