When you think of human things that confuse the heck out of our cats, one of the most obvious ones is the vacuum. It is a monster that screams and eats at the same time. What can a cat do when it watches this monster eating two of his cat toys at once without effort? Enough running, the only choice is to fight... or is it? Maybe it's better to be cautious and run again.

This week's animation captures the eternal struggle between a cat and the vacuum cleaner. You may think that with enough time, your kitty will realize that the danger has passed, and maybe that's true buuuuut... today is not the day.

Technology is amazing. It helps us in our everyday lives with so many things. But for our cats... it is a tiny bit confusing. Sitting and staring at the same strange light square every single day for hours instead of giving them attention? No wonder they love sitting on our laptops as much as they do. Well, that, and our laptops are warm and basically act as butt-heaters for them.

This week's animation of Earnie encapsulates the eternal struggle between cats and technology. And confused as he may be, this time, Earnie is winning.

There are times when you look at your cat, you see it being a total hooligan, and since you can't help but love that little rascal anyway, the best thing to do is to... sing a song about it. After you broom all the glass on the floor, of course. 

Once again, the lovely Tracy Thorne has been inspired by one of our little kitty poems, has picked up her guitar, and put music to it. While also totally showing off her adorable ginger cat who, for some reason, is licking her guitar strings. But is anyone surprised, really? She is singing about cats being weirdo hooligans after all.

Oh... when a cat meets a dog. It's a tale as old as time. From hate and hissing to very slowly and reluctantly accepting the fact that... it feels kinda nice to cuddle the pup and also, the puppy gives pretty good ear baths if you let it. So... it's love! Just reluctant love.

Let's be real, we all know how different cats and dogs are, so it's not surprising that it's difficult for them to get along. That just makes it all the more heartwarming when they do. This week's animation captures exactly that, and don't worry, it ends just as sweetly as you'd hope it to.

Check out last week's animation where Earnie encounters snow for the first time right here!

Snow might look beautiful, but it is... unexpectedly cold. At least to our adorable senior kitty, Earnie, who is meeting it for the first time. Cat vs. snow: the madness continues, and it's time to nope the heck out of there and run back home. You can decide If you think Earnie won this round. He definitely thinks that he did.

Check out this week's animation of Earnie taking on his biggest challenge yet - the beautiful welcoming blanket of the EVIL white snow - and immediately saying nope, nope, nope, nope-

Check out last week's animation where Earnie meeting the copycat in the mirror right here!

A meeting like no other - your amazing, beautiful, affectionate cat with the.. rude, aloof, unfriendly, traitorous copycat in the mirror. The concept of a mirror is, of course, a foreign one to our genius feline fluffballs, and the first meetings between the "two" cats are ALWAYS iconic.  

Check out this week's animation of Earnie having its first ever encounter with the cat in the mirror, and it goes... just about as hilariously as you think it would. A worthy opponent, this copycat, always knows exactly what Earnie is planning on doing just before Earnie does it.

Check out last week's animation where Earnie hilariously exploring the bathroom right here!

You may look at your bathroom and see a place where you clean yourself, but for you cat, that room is basically a torture chamber. The sink is a slip-and-slide, the toilet is a water bowl that they should DEFINITELY not drink from (they've smelled it, they understand), and the bath they will only be curious about once. Only once. 

Check out this week's animation of our favorite senior cat - Earnie - where he discovers the bathroom for the first time. In the battle between Earnie and the water... the water wins.

Check out last week's animation where Earnie learns to trust his new adoptive parents right here!

Getting used to your new forever home is never an easy task, especially for an older cat. But with a loving family who only want the best for the kitty, eventually, even the most stubborn and scared cat will learn to love its forever parents. It's just a matter of love, gentle pets, and patience. 

Check out this week's animation of Earnie's diary, where he slowly but surely learns to trust his new family. And prepare the happy crying tissues, because this is something that every cat owner and lover out there will relate to: the process all the way from the hiss, to the first touch, to them scratching you out because they can't stop kneading you. It's love, guys.

Check out last week's adoption animation right here!

Sometimes... you just gotta pick up your guitar and sing your cat a little song about how fierce it is. That's just how inspiring cats are to us cat lovers. They may be lazy and sleep most of the day, but when it's 3am and you're trying to sleep or when there's a bird on your windowsill, you know- you know your cat is the fiercest cat. And that's worthy of a song. 

Inspired by a little poem written by yours truly, we're presenting 'i is fierce', an original song from ICanHasCheezburger sung by Tracy Thorne. And if inspiration strikes you, and you wanna sing to your pet, send it to us! Get it touch, and we'll post your song here too!

For us, adoption day is always a happy day. We get to pick up our favorite little furball and take them to their new forever home where they'll be loved and cherished for the rest of their lives. But what does adoption look like through the eyes of the kitty itself, especially when it's an older kitty who has been in the shelter for a while, waiting for its new family? Allow Earnie - our resident senior cat - to show you. 

All of our dedicated readers have already heard of Meowmoirs, but for those of you who are new: Meowmoirs is a diary written by our resident senior cat who's name is Earnie. He goes through endless intense and world-changing adventures, writing about a new one every single week. Of course, his whole adventure starts with his adoption day. If you wanna read more of his thoughts about it, his reactions to the new home and his new family, read the full entry right here!
