25 Serious Memes of Cats Trying to Make It in a Meowdern World for Silly Hoomans Who’ve Given Up on the Work Week

The old adage goes 'when the cats away the mice come out to play', well there is an update to that legendary phrase, and it goes like so 'when the hoomans have given up, the cats take over to back us up'. Now while it might seem that this phrase is full of caring cat sentiment, it is in fact completely selfish because the only reason that cats would ever pick up our slack is to make sure that they will still be getting their daily treats. So without further ado we present you with this list of serious memes of cats who are trying to make it in a meowdern world for silly hoomans who have given up on the work week.

From the chonky catto who has taken his job hunt seriously with his beautiful bow tie and gotten himself hired, to the cute cat who has turned to becoming an Instagram model to keep the fish smoothies flowing, to the Uber driving feline who has no license but a whole lot of need for speed.
