25 Funnies of Both Cute Kittens and Furious Felines to Embrace Our Pawrenting Path

Nov 22, 2024 5:00 AM EST

It's no surprise that parenting books are often bestsellers because it's certainly a daunting task sometimes. Being responsible for the well-being of another being is frightening enough, even without the ever-changing moods, needs, height, and complexion. From barely managing your own life, you suddenly have to provide for someone else's desires - someone who grows rapidly, is no longer docile, and isn't all smiles anymore.

Pawrenting a cat, mind you, is very similar; at first, they're all about the cuddles and the snuggles. They're the most purrfectly purring pleased cutie pies that ever lived! But like any kid, they start to test our limits—and, as you can see in the following photos, they aren't afraid to use their nails to do it. Cats grow a will of their own, and they're not easy to train. But don't worry, you're not alone in this, I Can Has-ers. Until the next bestseller Kiss Every Hiss: Pawrenting the Cats of Tomorrow hits the shelves, we've got here for you a collection of our favorite child felines in different stages of adulthood. If you can't beat them, post them online!

And remember, like any other kid we pawrent, coming back to them at the end of a long day is worth all the trouble. Most days.

Classic line. At some point in the child's growing process, they suddenly realize that we can't fire them, and therefore, aren't their boss. This revelation births countless acting-out demonstrations, and there's nothing we can do about it except threaten to withhold materialistic perks.

When the teenager rolls their eyes so bluntly that you're afraid their eyelids might get stuck, it's best to revisit their baby photos, snuggling with their siblings on the couch, content and cute as a button. That way you can receive your love dosage without forcing them into a hug.
