We're finally going back to work, and honestly, we're not sure what to do with our cats. It's not just us who've gotten used to spending so much time with our cats, but our cats have gotten used to spending a lot of time at home with us. Personally, I can see how much me going to work is bothering my cat now just by her behavior. 

So, we found ourselves thinking about what we can do about it, and we figured out that the best thing is to find a whole bunch of interactive and automatic awesome cat toysfor us to use. It may not keep them occupied and you calm forever lol, but it's definitely a good place to start. 

We hope you love the toys that we chose just as much as our cats seem to be loving them. They're all handpicked by us, the editors. And just so you know, 'I Can Has Cheezburger' earns an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases from the products we link to. 

Happy shopping and happy working, cat lovers!

If you have a cat, then you know that no matter how much money you spend on them, they will always find the cheapest, most ridiculous "toys" to play with. From crumpled up pieces of paper to uncooked pasta. Honestly, it's their fault that you keep spending so much money buying them cool things, they never asked for it lol. 

Our awesome cat owner users definitely know the struggle, trying to pamper their kitties by getting them the most expensive things only to then have them go crazy over their hair tie. It's inevitable. And hilarious. So we thought you should enjoy laughing at this too. 

Have a great weekend, and come share your cats' weird quirks in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

Okay, so be honest, how many of you bought a really expensive cat toy/bed this year, hoping that your cat will love it and use it and sleep in it and that you'll be able to take the cutest pics of them with it, only to have the cat disregard the purchase completely? Be honest. It's all of you, isn't it? We've all definitely done it. 

There's no shame in wanting the best for your kitty. It just so happens that sometimes the best for your kitty is... having a big ol' box to sit. And let's be real, box pics of "if fits, I sits," are some of the best pics out there. It's still funny though, and we have been laughing at these tweets of cats choosing cheap 'toys' over expensive ones for the past 10 minutes straight. 

Cats and their toys! How many dollars have we all spent on our beloved felines? Too many to count or even think about. And after spending all that money on buying them all kinds of different toys, what do they end up playing with? Hair ties, a sock, a Q-tip, a straw, whatever you accidentally drop on the ground and think of as "trash" is literally their new-found treasure. 

One toy each cat can at least enjoy is the classic mouse toy. You purchase a handful because you know just how much your cat loves them and then in the span of less than a week... they all vanish! How can this be? 

Well, let's dig into it! In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we look into the scientific facts behind cats and their toy mice.

The holiday season ain't over! We're seeing a bunch of wholesome photos of animals after receiving their holiday presents and we just have to share that joy! 

Popular Instagram page, @DogsWithStuffedAnimals, features ... you guessed it! The page features nothing but dogs with their stuffed animals, And yes, it is wildly adorable and we needed to share the most recent holiday stuffed animals because it brings us joy and we want that joy to warm you up as well. There's something so wholesome about seeing an animal with a toy stuffed animals (especially if that stuffed animal is the animal's doppelganger.)

These beautiful photographs of pups posing with their new stuffed animals are simply too precious for words! 

Okay, maybe not all of these stuffed toys are animals but it doesn't really matter, what matters is how much these pets love their toys and just how adorable they are with these toys!

Sometimes, pets have a really special connection with a certain you -- their favorite toy. You know what I'm talking about! Whenever you pull it out you get those dilated eyes and the wiggle butt! 

Now, that's love. Here are pets with their mini pets (who they sometimes chew and destroy).

Vittoria Gallagher told the hilarious story of how she found Crackers, her long-lost toy dog, in the street,18 years after she lost him…But is it the real Crackers?   

Rein it in, party people! 

Kai Tipton accidentally glues this toy horse to her phone case, not realizing that it's head is positioned right in front of the camera. Thus, resulting in some hilarious and adorable horse photobombs -- in all pictures. 

This may be a tad old, but it will forever be pure gold. Salted Egg Superman Altman will not only blame, defend you and my home, he is also a cat star care, guarding an abandoned cat in Japan to grow up!

The creature behind the images, Behind zero, wrote on a blog, that this is a top-secret mission of Superman Altman in Japan, to take care of this adorable orange tabby for 1 year. Thus, true friendship was born!

Mochi, the 'Kitty Frog' is about to become your new favorite account! Mochi and her brother Choco were adopted at 8-weeks-old when they found abandoned by their mama in a parking lot. Both cats, named after delicious Asian treats, are 3-years-old and currently residing in Portland, Oregan. 

We got an inclusive inside peek at the story behind 'Mochi vs. the Frogs,' and it began sweet and playful. Mochi's hooman told us, "When we went out of town, our friends who were catsitting got the kitties some toys from Ikea. One of those toys was the frog toy. Mochi first started playing fetch with it. She would bring it to our bed and then we would toss it down the stairs, and then she would bring it back to the bed. Then one time we put it on a ledge in the apartment thinking she would play fetch with it but instead, she knocked it over. Then she kept knocking it over wherever we placed it."

Eventually, the stuffed frogs were discontinued by Ikea, so Mochi's pawrents ordered 7 of them from eBay, just in case. Then, last year, Ikea brought them back in stock and they have gathered over 100 toy frogs! "We put about 50 of them in a big bin, and then Mochi started bringing trails of frogs to us every night. When she only had seven frogs, she would sometimes bring 3–4 to our bedroom, but now she sometimes brings up to 30 of them to our bed at night!"

Since then Mochi's hooman has hysterically captured all the moments between Mochi and the toy frogs that haunt her. Watch the shenanigans below! You can follow Mochi and all her toy frogs on Instagram!
