'If I fits, I meme': 24 cats that squeeze into your heart and empty boxes

There are a few universal cat truths: they fear cucumbers, they knock things off tables for sport - and if they fits, they sits. Doesn't matter if it's a cardboard box, a salad bowl, a shoe, or the lid of a pot that hasn't been seen since 2011. If the space looks vaguely cat-sized (or not even close), a feline will attempt entry with the confidence of a seasoned contortionist and the chaos of a gremlin.

This strange, squishy behavior has gifted us one of the most beloved cat meme genres of all time: cats in boxes. But not just boxes - this phenomenon transcends container type. Laundry baskets? Absolutely. Fruit bowls? Even better. Puzzle boxes full of actual puzzle pieces? Irresistible.

And that's why "If I fits, I sits" isn't just a meme - it's a lifestyle. A mindset. A purrfession of faith in the absurd flexibility of cats and their ability to make the least logical space into a throne.

So here it is: 24 of the fittest, funniest feline memes that squeeze into your heart (and absolutely ruin that empty Amazon box).
