As we get older (and hopefully wiser) there are two things we've grown to appreciate more than when we were younger: Dad jokes, and cats.

You remember when your dad would make all of his terrible puns when you were a kid? He'd go, "That's a real knee-slapper", slap his knee and chuckle til the cows came home as we stood there, embarrassed for our lives. Well, turns out we were wrong. Now that we're safely in our 30s (even closer to 40 than 30, now), we've officially become our father and have acquired that purrfectly particular taste for Dad jokes. And our goal is to make our children groan and grumble as much as pawssible with our terrible humor.

The other thing we've come to appreciate more in our growing years is cats. We always loved them, but we couldn't always relate to them. In our teens and 20s, we were more like a golden retriever: happy to please, loved being around people, and always up for an adventure. But the older we get, the more we realize we're actually much more like a cat: we prefer our solitude with the people we love, staying home, and sleeping as much as pawssible. Maybe this is also a rite of passage that comes with the appreciation of the "dad joke".

So what do you get when you combine cats and dad jokes? Well, cat memes, of course! Cat memes have a purrfectly unpretentious nature. They know they're silly and they don't try to be anything else. They're not ashamed of pulling off a Dad joke, quite the contrary, they embrace it. Why? Because for as many people who despise them, there are an equal amount of people who get a hoot out of them. We're those people. Purrhaps we've always been those people, but now, we're shouting it loud and proud from the metaphorical rooftops (AKA, this post that will hopefully be seen by millions of dad-joke-aficionados and cat-lovers combined).

Our I Can Has Cheezburger and Lolcats team have cooked up some of the finest feline memes for you that are purrfectly original, full of dad jokes, and as always, full of joy. Embrace your cringe, and be as cheezy as you feel like. We appreciate it, and we never want you to be anything other than yourself. Now you'd better go catch your refrigerator, because we're pretty sure it's running!
