23 PAWerful Cat Memes To Make You Extra Excited for Inde-paw-ndence Day

Feeling pawtriotic? Nothing makes pawrents more excited for a howliday more than cat memes that can be applied to just about any situation that's ever existed. How do I know this? Well, you're here, aren't you?

Whether you celebrate the Fourth of July in the U.S. or couldn't care less about the holiday, the point here is that freedom makes you feel powerful. What else is powerful? Our felines—it's their main character trait. All they know how to do is boss their pawrents around, repeatedly and continually, because they know we will fulfill their every request. There's nothing quite like a meowther's love…

I'm feeling extra pawtriotic about cat country right about now. Patriotism is devotion, it is love, it is fear… and this is how it feels to be the owner of a cat who runs the household. Though we can always give them a half-scoop of food instead of a full one, or skip out on the nightly Churu, we never do. Why? Well, that wouldn't be any fun! Our cats enjoy bossing us around, and we hoomans live to serve. Scroll below to get your much-needed dose of the most independent animals on earth.
