ridiculous

Train them as we might, our pets are animals, and animals will do whatever the heck they wanna do. They can't help it. The curiosity is overwhelming. Our cats simply must find out if our favorite plant makes a good chair for them, and our dogs have to - they have to - find out if our couch is delicious. Answer: it is, that's why they keep eating it. 

And yes, we still love them, of course we do, and at the end of the day, we know that we prefer them untamed and being total weirdos. Because even though they're the most kind and loving little beings, on top of almost everything else, they are entertaining to a painful degree, and that just makes us love them even more.

Oh, cat memes. There's nothing more energizing than a good ol' hiss-terically funny helping of cat memes. The best of the best, one might even say the most purrfect ones out there, all purrvided by our very own pawsome LOLcats users. 

So, take a mewoment and relax, wrap yourself and your cat into warm little purritos, and prepare for a whole collection of our most favorite LOLcat memes. And after enjoying this plentiful dish of cherry on top cat memes, you can always grab another portion and check out a slightly colder dish of cat memes which has been kept just as delicious in our wet food filled fridge. 

Cats do truly have a tendency to find themselves in places that they have no reason to be. They'll sit in weird places, like your ceiling fan, and they'll show up in places that they are deeeefinitely not welcome, like on a runway or on a football field. We see them there, and we're shocked for a moment, but then we're like haha yeah, they're cats. 

An up an coming twitter user by the name of Cats Where They Shouldn't Be, @catsnoplace, has decided to purrsent just that - all of the funniest, most ridiculous places cats find themselves in. And we enjoyed going through them so much, we're decided that you should definitely get to laugh at these kitties too.

The story of dog meets cat is a timeless one - the tail wagging... the terror... beautiful. There truly is nothing that makes us happier than when these two very different species get together and get along. But what's even better is when those differences are fully put on show in these friendships. 

Hilarious cats will glare at the doggos like they're dumb and bite them out of nowhere, and the doggos will usually let cats use them as pillows, yes, but sometimes, they will innocently try to use the cat as a pillow back, and we'll end up with the most hilarious moment. Today, we're bringing you some of the kitteh on doggo love and sharing some of our favorite, funniest pictures and memes of cats and dogs. 

Sometimes, we do something thinking that it's a wonderful idea. You know, like when you look at a stray cat and think to yourself that it looks sweet enough and that petting it won't hurt in any way. Instant regret. Well, these cats are experiencing the exact same thing, not having the bestest of all days. 

Window blinds may be fun to look at, sleep next to, and periodically check if they're good nail sharpeners, but they are definitely not meant to be used as a toy for climbing. That is not a good decision, you little hooligan, but you know what? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way, just like all of these cats did. 

There's nothing that we love more than our pets. Absolutely nothing. In every situation, no matter what they're doing, whether they're being cuties asking for pettings, or whether they're being the biggest hooligans, we love them forever and always. 

Catching pictures of them being total derps will always make us laugh. Every time we accidentally come across these pictures on our phones or computers, we laugh anew. They're some of the first pictures that we show people of our pets just to get them to laugh too. And it always works. It always makes everyone smile.

That's why the subreddit r/AnimalsBeingDerps is one of our ultimate favorites, because it gives us the bestest of derpiest animals. To share the smiles with you guys, we've brought you some of our favorite derps from the subreddit. 

It is a known fact that cats are graceful and elegant, swaying from side to side, keeping their back and tail held high. Confident and superior. Today, we have gathered here to prove that belief... right. 

What? You thought we were gonna say that we'll be disproving it? That pictures of cats "dancing", i.e. caught mid-jump, or caught mid-hunt, or mid-fall are silly and funny and ridiculous? Pssh, well, you are more than wrong. Dancing cats have skill, they are grace, they are elegance, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. 

Trust us, we are experts in cat memes, and these perfectly timed pictures, courtesy of princesstigerbelle on tumblr, are not cat memes, these are pieces of cat art. Cart. 

Cats are weird. We love them, but we can all admit they're a little weird. Probably nothing is weirder than when they go on a chirping rant to a bird or when they randomly start screaming at you and don't stop. You may never find out what they're yelling about, but when you do... you either roll your eyes because of course they just want food again, or you find out that they're extremely extremely distressed because someone put a hanger on their favorite pillow. 

Well, tumblr users just went on a chirping rant and told stories of their cats screaming at them, and the only conclusion is this: cats either scream at you because they're overreacting and being total drama queens or because they love you and want to make sure that you're functioning properly, you silly ridiculous large weird cat you. 

Maybe you wouldn't think that a simple headshake can be funny, but oh boy, we are about to prove you wrong. Cats just have a talent for being funny doing the simplest things, whether it's sneezing or shaking their head. That is on top of their normal cat shenanigans that make them insanely funny. 

After seeing these pictures, ridiculously enough, we all have decided that we're going try to catch pictures of our cats mid-shake as well. It'll be challenging, we know, the shake may be common, but it is brief and hard to capture. Still, we feel like we know our cats more than well enough to know when a shake is coming, and we are going to be right there - camera at the ready. We invite you guys to join the challenge as well and send the pics to us. 

Okay, so cats do sleep most day and yeah, a lot of times, it's hard to get them to do... anything really. But! When they're not sleeping, when they get that random five minute boost of energy in the middle of the night, when the zoomies start and things are falling, they sure do know how to be insanely entertaining. 

Cats are sneaky little creatures who, even while trying to be little hooligans, manage to be the funniest little beings. So, yeah, maybe they do steal our stuff and drop things off our shelves, but at least when you manage to catch a picture of it, you're infinitely entertained. 

Oh cats... is there anything funnier than them? They are the biggest derps in the whole wide world, running into walls, zooming in the middle of the night, falling from random places. They're hilarious, we all know it, and we all love them despite it and exactly for it.

Now, take the hilarity of cats and match it with absolute perfect timing, and the hilarity quadruples. And from that, we get pictures of cats who are juuust about to sneeze. Purrfection. We cannot help but giggle at these silly faces. And you know what, this only makes us love cats that much more. 

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. 

Listen, whether you're a believer in tarot card readings or not, this card deck is one that you will definitely love and want to use. Why? Because it's a tarot card deck that is entirely made up of cat memes. Yup. The most iconic cat memes we know (and then some) make up this undeniably iconic card deck that if we ever saw anyone using in real life, we'd probably sit down for a reading.

This is yet another magical tumblr creation by some incredibly creative tumblr users, this time, a collaboration between king-jesster and crazy-brioche. It is one that has been reblogged and liked hundreds of thousands of times on the website. And for good reason. As labelleizzy put it: "Okay I'm legally obligated to reblog this." So, enjoy, and may your future be magical, positive, and full of cats. 

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.

People may say that cats are stoic and show no emotion, but we, cat owners, know the truth. Cats are some of the funniest creatures to ever exist. They're silly, they're playful, they run into walls in the middle of the night, and when they love someone, they bonk heads with them. What more could you ask for. 

Saying that doesn't make people any less skeptical though, so we must prove it to them. The following pictures are the ultimate piece of proof to show to people who think that cats don't have feeling of just how ridiculously silly and expressive cats are. There is no more convincing weapon to use again any cat haters than this.
