21 Relatable Pictures of Moody Meowsters on a Monday

Cats may not have calendars, but if they did, you just know they'd loathe Mondays as much as the rest of us. Picture it: the alarm blares, hoomans groan, and the cat is rudely dragged from a blissful nap because someone insists on going to "work." Monday for a cat means fewer snacks on demand, less lap time, and way too much commotion. Naturally, their response is pure cattitude. Dramatic yawns, paws over eyes, and the ultimate flop pose that screams, "cancel your plans and stay in bed with me."

Cats embody Monday moods better than any meme. The slow, reluctant stretch across the carpet is the feline version of hitting snooze five times. The grumpy stare from a windowsill? That's the same look you give your inbox at 9 a.m. And when they bury themselves under blankets, tails flicking in protest, you can practically hear them meowing, "I didn't approve this schedule."

At the end of the day, cats remind us of a universal truth: Mondays are for naps, snacks, and minimal effort. We should just follow their lead.
