It's Meownday, feline fam. Meowndays can only mean a few things:

The work week is starting
We will debate calling in sick to stay home instead of going into work
We will need some heartwarming adoption stories and pictures to help us get through the day

We were already sick last week, so bring on the stories of cute cats finding their furrever homes! This one features a meowgnificent glow up, a garden, and a professional chef. The chef part isn't so impurrtant, but it is cool to say. We don't get many stories about chefs here at the I Can Has Cheezburger offices.

A few years ago, this chef found a teeny, tiny kitten in his friend's garden. After seeing the poor fur baby, his heart couldn't resist doing anything other than loving the heck out of this smol friend. Six years later, and that sad kitten is gone, replaced with a seriously sassy cat and a whole lot of love. The full story is below, enjoy!

Look. At. That. Little. Face! You know how you sometimes you can tell boy cats from girl cats just by their faces? Well, this is a boy cat. We can't tell you how we know, we just do. That is a boy cat face and we just want to love it until the end of time!

If your pet is comfortable enough with you to be sassy, you know they're feeling purrfectly at home. We can say with 100% certainty that the cat runs the house, the hooman is just living in it because the cat allows it. Classic cat.
