Every workday should begin with a whole lot of cat memes. 

This is a rule that we stand by. Another workday is about to begin, and that means that we simply have to paws for a moment and laugh at some funny cat memes. It's necessary for us. It has become a part of our routine. We're on our phones first thing when we wake up anyway, so we might as well use them for something useful, something that will actually be good for our souls. Waking up to a bunch of silly cat memes is the solution to the pain that we feel when we are about to start another workday. It is the best thing that we can do for ourselves in the morning. 

And since we are putting together these collections of purrfect cat memes for ourselves and our own well-being anyway, we figure that we might as well share them with all of you guys as well. We are sure that you could use these memes just as much as us. And we, here at ICHC, aim to please all the exhausted cat people who come our way in need of an itty bitty pick-me-up in the form of cat purrfection.

  • Sometimes, embracing cattitude and truly being a cat is the best thing that you can do for yourself. Just look at them. Look at how well they are living. Look at how little they care about the world falling apart around them. As long as they are fed, petted every once in a while, given a couple blankets to hide under and something to toss off a shelf every once in a while, they are happy. And really, if those things had been enough for us, we would have probably been much happier in our lives too. Be a cat. It's good for the soul.

  • It's the true fear in this cat's face that is absolutely hilarious. He is so legitimately worried about you. It happens with our cat too. Only we don't have a bath, we only have a shower. But that's enough to stress out little furbaby out. She will scream her little head off right outside of the room if you don't let her in. Because she's worried, probably thinking that we're going to drown or something. And then, when you do let her in, all she does is… sit next to the shower door and watch. Just making sure that we're okay in there. We appreciate her.
