Anyone who likes cats can call themselves a "cat person", but it takes years of love and expurrience to call yourself a "feline fanatic".

This is a love letter to all of you committed cat caretakers, or as we like to call ourselves, "feline fanatics". You've been caring for cats since before you can remember. You've made room in your homes for cats in need, even if you don't have room for another. You know all your cats' cute quirks and hilarious habits, and can befriend even the grumpiest tomcat who doesn't like hoomans. You have patience, compassion, and a love for all things feline.

To you feline fanatics out there, we see you, and we want to thank you with these 40 hissterical and heartwarming cat memes that will purrfectly sum up your entire relationship with the feline species. Your phones have more pictures of cats than people, your vacuums are full of cat hair, and your hearts are full of love, just like these fluffy feline funnies! They'll make you giggle, tear up, and pawssibly fall in love with cats all over again (although, that's not very hard, now is it?). 

Some people look down on us for having "too many cats", but for us, it makes our house feel like a home. We would rather add another cat to our family than let it tough it out on the streets, and if that makes us crazy, then consider us insane. Enjoy these 40 cat memes for all of us over 40 and know that cats are the true center of our universe.

    jame7t cats are little narcissists because they will see you upset or troubled and they'll think "you know what would help? a healthy dosage of ME" and they'll headbutt you and snuggle you. anyway it DOES work so I can't fault them

  • It actually really does help, so thank you. It especially helps when they decide to loaf on you and purr like a race car, seeing as the frequency of cat purrs has been scientifically proven to promote healing. Domestic cats purr at a frequency range of about 25–150 Hz, which overlaps with frequencies used in therapeutic vibration techniques and meowdicine! It can improve tendon and muscle repair, as well as stimulate bone growth and reduce cortisol (your stress hormone). It's basically magic, except it's not magic, it's science.

    angeline rodriguez @gelrdrgz leaving instructions for the catsitter If he's just entirely too amped and won't settle the faak down, the secret is to just put a box over him. He is like a bird and will just go to sleep. You can also prop it up like a cartoon trap and he will just slide on in there. We call this "going into his office."

  • No job is harder than being a fluffy freeloader who gets everything they ever asked for and more. It's hard not worrying where your next meal will come from or feeling safe during your 17 daily naps. It's purrfectly difficult having no responsibilities or plans every day of the week.
