If you're anything like I was before I adopted a cat, you know three things: you loves cats, you want a cat, and you don't know the first thing about taking care of them. That shouldn't stop you from adopting a cat, not if you want to give it love and cuddles and the best life it can have.

Of course, you can always go on the internet and look for information about raising cats, that's what I did, but the information is scattered, and it can be hard to filter through what you really need to know and what you don't. Thankfully, carnegiemuseumnaturalhistory on tumblr decided to collect all the information that you need and put it in one place, creating the ultimate guide to cat adoption that will answer most, if not all, of your questions and make the process of getting a cat a much less scary one.

Or they are amazing thespians and we are going to soon be ruled by cat overlords who will turn bathrooms into unisex litter boxes shudders. 

Then we have the other end of the animal derp scale. If anything, these goofy huskies prove that some house pets are not so talented and observant. Just take a look at these puppies failing at stairs. Clearly these dogs are a bit confused by such modern house innovations like stairs.
