Being a cat owner is an experience that no one else can quite understand. Cats are not straightforward creatures in their behavior. They're nowhere near as boring as people think that they are. Sure, cats sleep a lot, and they clean themselves, and they reat and they drink. But that's just 85% of their lives. The other 15% are all one big lump of cat chaos. Yep. Right now, as we are tying this, our cat has found the tag on one of our shirts, and for no reason whatsoever, she is attacking it like it has purrsonally offended her. That's a normal day in the life of a cat owner. You get it. And cat memes… purrfect cat memes like these one capture the essence of that feeling.

If you ever feel like you are going crazy because of your cat, all you need to do is scroll through some silly cat memes to feel sane again. No, it is indeed not just you going through that moment of cat madness. All of us, cat owners, experience this. And funny cat memes are where we find our respite. This is where we relate, where we laugh, where we snort at the silliness that other people's cats do and forget about the shirt that our cat just tore apart.

Not going to lie… this is a funny one. And we appreciate it. This is clearly something that has become part of this cat's routine. If the cat has to go through the insanity that is getting a bath (for who knows which time), then you have to go through having your pants get wet. Your cat has clearly picked up on the fact that this causes you annoyance and discomfort, and this is payback. And whether it's during the bath or after it, this cat is obviously going to make sure that you get what is coming to you.

Christmas may have passed, but we are not even close to being over it. Seriously. The tree, the decorations - none of it is coming off for the foreseeable future. Why would we do that to ourselves? Why would we cut the fun short? For ourselves and for our cats. Christmas is the most meowgical time of the year, and we cannot wait to watch our cat have the time of its life and knock the tree down for the third, fourth and fifth time during the following month.
