That is it, enough with daydreaming, enough with pawcrastination, it simply is not working anymore. Either it has become too easy to spot thanks to all the awareness about the act, or it has simply become ineffective like a cat's scratching tree after all the twine has fallen off. But just because our go-to distraction methods have failed us, does not mean that we do not still require distraction from life's languishing challenges. If anything, we need even more distractions to make up for the faulty methods.

And as such, we introduce you to this list of adorable cat memes that will distract you from literally everything. No family, no phone, no work will sway your attention, the world could be burning outside and you would be none the wiser. So use this method carefully, for there is no coming back, but golly gosh if it is not effective.

  • Nobody looks their best while in mid-yawn, but this single brain celled catto looks like he is the feline reincarnation of Mater, the rusted truck from the movie Cars. Which begs the question as to why they have not made a feline equivalent called Cats, and hired this handsome weirdo to play the part of Mittens.

    Of course, most of these are ORANGE He is essentially floating between the two striped pillows. For a 17+ lb cat, he's surprisingly nimble. Oh, and Stoopid. Very very Stoopid.

    This is one of relatively few awkward photos I have of my late orange, he was generally super photogenic (and the most precious baby, obviously <3). He often liked to sit underneath things like curtains or electrical cords and have them draped nicely across his face, it looked very silly.

  • This is genius, because much like the title of this list, the pawrent who made this peanut butter nightmare happen actually managed to get their cat child to exclusively focus on one thing for more than two seconds. Meaning, that if you have someone in your life who you desperately need to distract, you might consider flinging peanut butter at them…

    I don't know if this counts, but I've always felt this photo of my pets to be hilariously awkward overall. (My older cat was establishing dominance over the younger one.)
