Cats, cats, and nothing but cats.

We are always in need of a good cat dump, beautiful cats, silly cats, hilarious cat shenanigans, we'll happily take them all. Cats are the ultimate source of entertainment, they are also just so cute to look at, it calms the heart. It's a purrfect blend of madness and cute, it's all we need in this world, and each week, we gather up a hearty collection to serve it to you on a silver platter. 

We hope you're hungry because this is quite the feast we have prepared for you! Enjoy! 

In New Jersey, when coronavirus cases were high and most of the state was sheltering at home, a little one-room NICU Kitten Nursery that has saved hundreds of little kittens had to close its doors. 

nj.com reports that, since "[t]he space was too small to safely social distance," a veterinary technician with St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center named Friedman who was also the manager of the nursery and a vet tech called Nick Eckert "took the animals into their own homes to care for them." Dozens of kittens, many of them badly injured and desperately in need of help. 

"It was very depressing that when we should have been celebrating our one-year anniversary, we were moving our nursery into our homes," said Friedman. "I was terrified that we would lose the program because of COVID-19. And I knew that because of COVID-19, it was critical to keep the program going." No one was popping in to help, and there was no team of volunteers coming in and out to help the kittens.

"I literally had kittens being dropped off at my house at midnight almost every night," Friedman tells nj.com "It was the hardest work I ever had to do because I was by myself."

Now, not only was their operation in their homes successful and they are able to keep helping the kittens, their nursery is expanding, so much so that they had to move the make-shift nursery out of their homes and into a bigger location - "three times the size - complete with 28 cages and multiple rooms to provide separate spaces for healthy, sick, and critical kittens."

The problem is that, even with more space, the nursery can't take in many more new kittens since they do not have the volunteer support that they need. "We can't run this program without volunteers," explained Friedman. So, now, they are looking for volunteers, and we hope that if you are in the area and are able to help, you would lend a helping hand to this wonderful operation and help them help these incredible kittens.

When it comes to funny cat memes, or any funny memes for that matter, some are always a hit or miss. But all it takes is that one really good meme to give you a full belly LOL. Well, today, we're hitting you with a huge dump of our best funny cat memes to give you that fully belly laugh, because we know you need it right now. 

Forty four of these memes are our favorites. The other three are total wild cards that are so bad, they become good too. To us, the bad ones are glaringly obvious, but we wonder if you'll be able to spot them as well. Good luck, and may your belly hurt from laughing by the time you hit the bottom of this page. 

There isn't anyone cooler and more intimidating than a cat squad. There's power in one cat, but put a few of those cats together, and oh boy, you're in trouble. Cats are just... weirdly gangster and intimidating sometimes. You know, when they're not being the most adorable, fluffy, wholesome creatures who like to headbutt as a sign of love. 

All the other times, they're cool, calm, and collected. It's true, sometimes people confuse certain cat behaviors as "mean" or "evil" because they simply don't understand cats. But even those of us who do understand them can totally admit that they can be intimidating when they're about to pounce - intimidating in a funny way that is wholesome no matter how hard they try to spook us.

It is a fact that cat twitter is amazing and active all day every day. There's is an almost startling number of cat tweets that come out daily. You can scroll and scroll, and there will always be another kitty cutie for you to click retweet on. Another fact is that we. love. cats. as much if not more than cat twitter, so we want to see all of this cat content and stay up to date with all of the most talked about, more adorable, funniest, best cats on twitter. 

The problem is that doing that - because of how endless cat twitter is - is nearly impossible on your own. For that, you come here, since we, as you know, do it for you every single week. So, enjoy this week's dose of meowingly good twitter cat content, and may your weekend be absolutely purrrrrrfect!

It's been a long week already. A lot has happened, we know. And after everything, all that we feel we need right now is some calmness. We want to sit down with a cup of tea by our windowsill, watch the rain pour, and think about absolutely nothing, letting the gloomy weather bring a feeling of calmness with it. Preferably, we would also have our cat with us for some snuggles for that. 

We only have Friday to go, and then we can do all of that ourselves. By for now, we hope these calming, wholesome pictures of cats staying snuggled up and warm inside, hiding from the rain, chilling, and doing exactly what we want to do will bring you that little bit of relaxation that you need. 

Yeah, it's true that cats and dogs are not the bestest of friends, but dogs are normally loving and kind to the cats. It's the cats who can be difficult. Sometimes though, our tolerant, purest of everything that is pure, dogs get a little annoyed too. There's nothing you can do to avoid it. Cats can get to even the most patient among us every once in a while, no matter how much we love them. 

These memes capture exactly those moments that push our doggos a bit too far. Cat memes that our dogs hate. They're truly cat-astrophic. And though our dogs may hate them, to us, they're just funny. 

Who in the world said that cats aren't affectionate? How is it possible that they ever got that reputation? Have the people spreading this false rumor never seen a cat snuggling other cats? Or cats snuggling other animals? Well, okay, maybe you show them pictures of cats doing both of these things, and the argument becomes that cats are actually just not affectionate to humans. 

We have gathered here today to prove these people wrong. And we're doing it in the form of the cutest, snuggliest pictures of cats cuddling their humans. Yes, their humans, argument disproved, cat haters. Cats can be so affectionate, and we, cat owners, know that well. Now, you're gonna be able to prove it to others as well. 

We might normally think of cats as fluffy, adorable creatures, but this twitter account says pfffffft. Cats, as we know, are too cool for this world. They are the toughest, most hardcore, gangster little fluff balls- I mean... not fluffballs, I meant the most epic villains of any saga.

The account @evilbmcats, or Black Metal Cats, on twitter know what's up. They showcase the real hardcore-ness of cats by pairing pics of the toughest-looking cats with the darkest sounding lyrics. Though, and don't tell them we said this, what you think may turn out to be the toughest twitter account in history is still... full of tiny little cutie cats, so even the most hardcore pic is, at its core, adorable. 

You know that cat look - when they suddenly pause and glare at something, pupils slightly dilated, curious with a look of very mild confusion on their face? Yeah, that look. The look they give the bird that sits on their windowsill as if someone dared give it permission to sit there. Rude bird. The subreddit r/MildlyStartledCats knows what we're talking about. 

It's that cat look that you, as the owner of said cat, cannot help but laugh at. I mean, cats are always hilarious, that's kinda their thing. They're silly and have a tendency to zoom right into the wall sometimes. But what makes them special is that, really, even their very mild confusion by simple, totally normal things, is hilarious to anyone who loves cats at all. 

Is it Sunday already? Seems like just yesterday it was Caturday. Luckily for us, Caturday is an everyday thing here. Doesn't have to be "Caturday" per se but every day we do celebrate the greatness that is cats, in multiple ways. 

One of our favorite ways is through the best and most viral videos currently making the rounds on Instagram. Each week, we bring you the cutest, funniest, and most delightful videos we come across and it's always a treasure. This week, we have a lot of silly cat videos doing what they do best - being cats. If you need another dose of cat video goodness, you don't have to look too far. 

Wishing you all a wonderful and relaxing Sunday! 

There's nothing better to start your Friday with some cat tweets, enjoying the ridiculousness, creativity, and undeniable adorableness of the things that cat twitter comes up with. It's endless. Cat twitter always has so much to offer, and since we all love cats an insane amount, we are always more than happy to eat up everything that's on the menu. 

The problem is that cat twitter is endless though, and when you're as busy as most of us are, it's hard to keep up with everything that's going on. No matter how much you try, you might always miss some iconic cat tweet that'll be talked about centuries from now. That's what you have us for, since we've decided to make it our job to find the best, the cutest, and the funniest cat tweets on a weekly basis for you to enjoy. 

It's going to be a great weekend. It's finally Friday, Halloween is tomorrow and the newly adopted faces are here! So many beautiful adopted faces, our hearts are bursting at the sight of them! 

Each week, we gather up the newly adopted faces and it always delivers the feels. We want to wholeheartedly thank all those who have recently adopted, have adopted in the past, and/or will adopt in the future. These beautiful animals wouldn't have their perfect forever home without you. And an ultra-special shout out to those who adopt senior animals, giving them a second chance at a happy life, and those who need a little more care and attention. You are forever our heroes. 

Another lovely Friday filled with lovely faces, what more can someone ask for? 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! 

It's been a stressful week, and now, it's time to take a breath, relax, and go cuddle your kitty. The cuddling is the most important part of that, of course. To get you started on your mission of relaxation, we have collected a bunch of gifs of the most relaxing thing of all - adorable cats and kittens blowing kisses at you by slow blinking.

There's nothing that makes us happier than when our kitties blow kisses at us like that, saying "I love you" in their wholesome cat way. It really gives us butterflies, and we make sure to slow blink right back at them, saying "I love you too." It's rare enough though, to catch such moments in picture or in video, so these gifs are few and far between, but they are gifs, so we get these "I love you"s on a loop, over and over again, as many times as we need to see it.
