Ah, Tumblr, how we miss you! This was part of the golden age of the internet when people weren't as easily offended and the internet was savage. Cat comedy was at its highest and hilarious cat memes were popping up left and right! Don't get us wrong, we love the internet now, but we do miss those golden years when everything was funny. Tumblr was the place to be, right after Myspace.

All of these vintage posts remind us of a time when our eyes were brighter and our waist was slimmer, probably from laughing at all of the funny cat posts that came across our path. It's like taking a walk down memory lane, where we can also say hi to Green Day albums, ripped jeans, and overwhelmingly strong Abercrombie & Fitch cologne. On second thought, maybe it's best that some things stay in the past.

    Cat - thegestianpoet: she looks like the woman named margaret who sits in the front of the office and has a betty boop calendar and usually is a little stressed out because no one ever puts the outgoing mail in the right place and she's not really great with this whole "google docs" thing yet but she always remembers to fill up her candy jar with peanut m&ms in seasonal colors and when she finally retires this whole place will fall apart probably how specific Source: thegestianpo

    Personal computer - meowgon: kinginthewest: it's just like, why are there cat emojis for loads of emotions as well as normal humans emojis like, when do i need to express these emotions... but as a cat they're not for you... they're for ME
    via meowgon

    Now we finally understand why there are cat emojis! Cats are quite expressive, so it only makes sense that they would get their own emojis. Now we love them even more, and we'll only think of cats when we see the. Infinitely more cute!

    Brown - High-res iphanthony-kicks-my-stickz: irohs-the-man: jedi-cellist: homesick-for-you: corgisbeachesandhose: syrengodtiered: sharkieboo: I think my cat just broke did you try turning it off and on again? Try adding water Unplug it and plug it back in. pick it up, shake it, and try again Take out the cartridge, blow on it, and put it back in. This is why tumblr users should not own pets.
    via iphanthony-kicks-my-stickz

    Faceplanting cats are literally too cute. They look like little potatoes that just said, "That's enough social interaction for today. We'll be turning off now, see you in a few hours." Oh, how we wish we could do that, too, during the day.

    Cat - Hi Sebastian has this phobia i guess you would call it of eating alone, he wont eat unless someone is in the same room eating as him, i dont know why and we've taken him to the vet to see if it's a stomach problem on why he wasn't eating until we started to notice a pattern, only when you're in the room eating will he start to chow down on his food. So we put his bowl on his side of the table and he eats Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with us. Hell wait till you're seated and eating to start
