This past long weekend, while getting silly and hanging out with my friends, we realized that everyone in the room was a cat person. Sure, I have a few friends with dogs, but the bulk of us seem to have an incurable obsession with felines. And they're all so different. Socks, my friend's grumpy-looking but sweet tabby, has a penchant for pooping in her bed if she doesn't get up and give him attention at an early enough hour. My cultured kitty Gorgeous would never do such a thing. When it comes to waking me up and getting on my nerves, her preferred method is ripping up the legal pads in my bedroom.
While it's true cats are skilled where grinding their owners' gears is concerned, they also help supply us with much-needed dopamine. This usually happens when we're cuddling, or when they do something cute at just the right time. But they also provide us with dopamine through the many, many memes they inspire and star in. This week's batch of cat goodness is sure to give that boost to anyone who loves cats, or even feels ambivalent towards them. It's hard to argue with a relatable cat meme, even if you're more of a dog person.
