Can you believe it? 2023 is about to end. There were some moments this year that we weren't sure that was actually going to happen. This year was so difficult and full of challenges, every week something else was going on. There was only one thing that continued thriving on the internet this year - just like every other year - and that was wholesome cat memes. No matter how insane things might get, cat memes… forever thrive on the internet, and when things are crazy like they were this year, uplifting cat memes thrived even more than usual. 

So, now that we're here, now that Christmas is upon us and 2024 is looming ahead with all of its potential and opportunities, we thought that we should take a step back. It's time to look at the good things that happened this year with this purrfect recap of the most wholesome cat memes of 2023!

    Sometimes, cats just need a little bit of time. For some cats, opening up to you might take weeks, months or years, and for other cats, like this one, a day is enough. It doesn't matter how long it takes, when it finally happens, it is undeniably one of the best feelings in the whole world.

    Every year that passes, every year that sauce cat grows, our heart grows with it. For 2024, we wish that more people will pick up this trend and measuring the size of their cats using silly little random objects.

    hijabby I'm screaming??? So my cat knows I get upset when he steps on my paintings (not yelling or anything I think he just sees me spend hours trying to cover up what his paws do) in my "studio" which is a crammed small storage closet with painting all over the floor drying, so like I'm in there rn and I saw him try to get to point A to point b but it was impossible for him to jump over so like he realized the matte parts were dry and like he was stepping on the corners of the painting and ever
