25 Timeowly Cat Memes to Help You Catch Up if You're Already Falling Behind This January

Oh, would you look at the time! We can't be late for these hissterical cat memes!

What a year it's already been, right? Only a little over a week into 2026 and we're already exhausted. Were we ever not exhausted from 2025? Irrelevant. We are eepy little kitties and need a feline friend to cuddle and LOL with. That's the dream. Wouldn't 2026 be so much better if we were all just paired with a furry little friend that makes us happy and we care for them and love each other no matter what? That would be a beautiful year…

A girl can dream! Until that dream becomes a reality, these cat memes will have to hold us all over. Some of us are already a cat parent and some hope, wish, and work hard to become one. Either way, we can all agree that cat memes are powerful. They bring joy to everyone who sees them! They have been the rock that holds down the internet since its creation!

Well, maybe not since its creation, but definitely since it's popularity. Some of the first viral things online were silly little kitties and we love that! The internet doesn't have to be a dark and scary place. It can be a place full of laughter and memes of the most adorable cats you ever did see.

Plus, if you have spent any time with a cat that likes you, then you know just how funny they can be. And laughter is life! We truly believe laughter is the best medicine. Without LOLs and side smirks, what even are we as a human race? Just a bunch of nerds trying to hoard land and pretend green paper that we made up to have value? Come on, life's not all that serious. It's time you enjoy some cat menes.
Cat memes o'clock is taken very seriously around here and we make sure not to show up late for it. Well you make it on time?
