kitten

Get ready for incoming war flashbacks, all you cat owners in the crowd, because we have all had that moment of suddenly realizing that we haven't seen our cat in a while, going to look for it, then not finding it and losing our heckin' minds. 

Then, it's one of two things: either the cat has been sleeping in the closet this whole time and is perfectly innocent, or - the more likely option - that hooligan has been hiding in his new hiding spot for the past half and hour, absolutely enjoying my stress while I'm shaking his bag of treats, looking for him.

Cats are jerks. That's a known face. We still love them though. 

Every person who owns a cat knows that they are an incredibly affectionate animal. They just get a bad rep for some reason with others. People do not understand the ways in which they show love, but that doesn't mean that they don't do it. And Cheezburger users, animal lovers like us, know that better than most. 

So, when our awesome users share their stories on Facebook and make our hearts flutter with love, we only think it's right to share their stories with everyone else as well. And if you're one of our users and have a story worth telling of your own, come talk to us in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Now that Earnie is finally happy, having made friends with his humans, their baby, a kitten and even a dog, he has decided that... it's time for a break. He is content to get older, surrounded by love, and simply enjoy the good life... at least for a while. Who knows? Perhaps he'll make a comeback one day, or Mittens will start writing a diary of her own. 

Meowmoirs: getting nostalgic. 

Read Earnie's final diary entry where he looks back on his past, talks about his new friends (and possible successors to his throne) and fills every line he writes with love, love, some shenanigans, and more love.

Happy Friday, lovely readers! And welcome back to one of our favorite original weekly segments... the newly adopted faces of the week! And each week, it's all the feels! 

Once a week, we search through the web to bring you all the newly adopted faces and their names, it just brings our hearts such joy to see these beautiful animals finally finding their forever home. We would like to take this moment to thank those who have recently adopted a pet, thanks to those who have adopted a pet in the past, and a thank you to those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You are the reason these beautiful animals have such wonderful lives. And, as always, a mega-huge-shout out to those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra care and love. You are our forever heroes, we couldn't thank you enough for providing these animals with a second chance. 

If you recently adopted a pet share an image with us in the comments below or send us a DM on Facebook to be featured on next week's list! You can also share your adoption of I Can Has Cheezburger's new Facebook community group, 'ICanHas Storytime,' a place where everyone can share their newly adopted pet with the entire community! 

It is time, friends, to recap the week in the only correct way - through the shenanigans of cat twitter. Every single week, we bring you the best of the very best of all cat tweets, every adorable kitten that twitter couldn't stop fawning over, every cat that made everyone laugh, all in one place, just for you, because we know that you want it but that you can't keep up with all of twitter on your own.

That's because cat twitter never sleeps. It never rests. Cats rule the internet, and that is a fact. They also rule us, which is why we can never get enough of them, and why you come back to this supurrb segment every week. 

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.

Hope you all are ready for some wholesome smiles today! 

We all have been through the madness that was 2020 and know how difficult and challenging that particular year has been. We also know that even though it was an awful year where we couldn't physically be with one another, there were some pros to the pandemic. Mainly, the fact shelters around the world were emptying out due to everyone's need for companionship. So many beautiful animals found their forever home in 2020 and we are forever grateful for it. 

Not only did animals find their forever homes, but certain wonderful people took it upon themselves to help animals in need. This is exactly what Imgur user thesorrycynic did. In a story shared on Imgur, thesorrycynic reveals photos of all the animals she helped foster during 2020 and shared photos of their progress. And yes, it is utterly wholesome. 

Just further proof that love can transform all! 

The commentary below is provided by thesorrycynic. 

They most certainly are stealing all the hearts that gaze upon their insane smolness, and we, for one, are totally OK with having our hearts stolen and never having it returned. Why? You'll fully understand the moment you scroll down and look at those little faces with their little bodies... they're so little!

Almost makes us want to cry out of sheer amazement due to their itty bitty size. Ah, who are we kidding? Let those tears roll and don't be ashamed of it! 

What can really be said about kittens that has not been said before? Kittens (and photos of kittens) make our hearts squeal in joy and delight. They are simply way too cute for any of us to handle and we can't handle it, thus our overwhelming need to squeal and squeeze them. 

We seriously can't get enough of any cat, at any stage in their life. 

Right now, we can't get enough of this orange little fuzzball shared with the Imgur community by user FeistyPeachtron. The commentary below is provided by user FeistyPeachtron, as well.

At 9 months old, Bently's owners discovered that he was very sick. Now, you would want the story to continue with them doing everything they can to help him and save him, but these owners were not that. Having found out that the procedures the kitten needed would cost them 800$, these owners opted to leave the clinic with just the exam. Thankfully, imgur user forte10 came to the rescue, offering to take the kitten off their hands and take care of it as if it was their own. 

So, this story has a hapy ending after all. The kitten got the help that he needed and is now a happy guy who loves nothing more than chilling with his new family. 

We want to thank forte10 for helping this poor kitten and for sharing their story. We want nothing more than to hear more of those. If you have a pet story of your own to share, come tell us about it in our Facebook group: ICanHas Storytime. 

Cats are awesome. Period. Inarguable. Anyone who truly hates on cats has obviously never actually hung out with one. And twitter has decided that it is time for all of us - cat ladies and gentlemen - to assemble and defend out little felines... you know, those felines who totally didn't rip your curtain or step on your sandwich earlier. It's time! We must defend them.

People misunderstand cats, that's the obvious explanation for all the cat hate. Cats simply love and show affection differently, and the people who don't bother learning the way cats show love think that cats are cold-hearted. To us, cat lovers, cats being loving is a mere fact that needs no explanation, so of course, we'll defend them when we are needed.

Well friends, it is almost Monday again, and we are here to make sure that you start your week off right with your weekly tumblr animal treat. This week, it is all cats and nothing but funny. Because of course the most purrfect way to start a week is with cats - in all shapes and sizes - but especially when they have that unique little tumblr humor touch. 

So, enjoy these silly and pawdorable tumblr cat posts, purr your way into this next week, and may your week be filled with cats and love and purrductivity.

Though he wasn't expecting it, Earnie is quite fond of his new little sister. And, being the good big brother that he is, he has decided that the only right thing to do is help her become as good of a cat as she can be... to make sure that they can plot together and take over the world, of course. 

Meowmoirs: Mittens still has a lot to learn. 

Read about Earnie's adorable difficulties while mentoring his little sister, the progress they've made, and... the weird things the kitten does that Earnie really doesn't understand.
