22 Funny Memes of Cats Surviving the Monday Mewd and Dreaming of Friday

Every Monday, cats remind us of one simple truth: no one really wants to work. The meowtivation is gone, the enthusiasm's on vacation, and that quiet stare into nothingness says it all. It's like every feline understands the pain of returning to reality after two peaceful days of freedom and they're not afraid to show it.

They perfectly capture that universal Monday mood: the deep sigh before you log in, the slow shuffle toward purrductivity, and the tiny rebellion against responsibility. Somehow, seeing that same attitude wrapped up in fur and whiskers feels comforting. It's a reminder that sometimes, just existing is enough. Because surviving Monday isn't about thriving. It's about showing up, staying awake, and trying your best not to hiss at anyone before noon.

Maybe cats really do have it all figured out. Nap through the chaos, answer emails never, and save your energy for snacks. If they ran the workplace, Mondays would come with treats and mandatory nap breaks.
