A Derpy Dose of Mischief in Cat Memes Purrfect For Ringing in the New Year

Mischief managed in cats means you can finally put your toilet paper within their reach without it becoming snowflake consistency.

When you wake up, what's the first thing that comes into your head? Is it the dread of the work day, full of meetings, computer screens, and your annoying coworker cracking jokes at you? Is it the dream you just had, about circus animals and someone chasing you? Is it the thought of someone special, someone you love who's preoccupying the landscape of your mind? Or is it your little kitty, and thinking you're going to need some morning cuddles before you leave bed and brush your teeth? 


We all have our rituals, our mental and emotional processes that shape who we are and how we act. But as cat pawrents, our little furballs are a part of that equation whether we like it or not. We wake up to them, their meows, their purrs, and their cuddles. We make sure they're fed, loved, cuddled, pet, and happy. And what every cat pawrent knows is how mischievous they can be when left to their own devices. Cats are inherently mischievous, with their midnight zoomies, their ability to open draws, knock things off the tables, and tear up toilet paper. How did they even get the idea to knock things off the table? It's as if they go to a council of cats and decides how to ruin our things. 

And what better New Year's resolution that to embrace your chaotic kitty's mischievous behavior? Try practicing a bit of slow breathing when you see them look you in the eye while they put their paw in your water glass. Maybe get into yoga or meditation, there's no harm in that! And what makes these cat memes especially purrfect for the New Year is their commitment to mischief without malice. You know that it's just their nature, it's practically written into their DNA. Their chaos is pure, accidental, and deeply relatable. In a world that constantly demands improvement and reinvention, cats offer an alternative philosophy: be exactly who you are, do crimes gently, and nap when overwhelmed.
