26 Funny Cat Memes Moewrking Their Territory and Placing Possessive Paws on Their Pawrents

Being a pawrent means dealing with much more than remembering feeding times and caring for them when they're sick. Both hooman and pet children need to feel safe - and that apparently includes making sure you never look at another toddler, cub, or puppy ever again. If you even start to mumble a syllable that begins with 'Aww,' their senses are highly alerted. 
 

Cat pawrents know that felines can express their jealousy with sinister stares so piercing that they immediately drop the "other woman". There's no point in fighting the green-eyed monster, and by that, we mean the cat.
 

 So you can abstain from other kittens, sure, but what happens if your family grows and you bring home another cat or - God forbid - a baby? The newcomers have to be entered into a protection program of some sort, at least for an adjustment period. Hell hath no fury like a usurped cat. We know you know what we mean, pawrents. While you brainstorm ways to help your cat warm up to the new addition to the family - or keep the addition safe for the time being - here are relatable memes and photos of our favorite (favorite!) felines, feeling furvidly possessive. Invite them to scroll with you, it might be therapeutic. Or at least, you'll know his whereabouts at the moment.
