Cats are the A-listers of a cat lover's favorite meowmories.

Like Brad Pitt in the 90s, cats are the star-studded main characters of a cat lover's life, whether they realize it or not. Although many cats are cool and confident at all times, other cats, the scaredies, the fat, and the elderly, may need a little more convincing. Luckily, we humans are here to be their happy servants, providing cuddles, playtime, and an endless supply of tunafish treats whenever we hear their beckoning meow.

All a cat has to do is snap their paws and wiggle their whiskers, and their favorite humans come sprinting to serve them. Royal ambassadors of good vibes and pawsitivity, cats do their duty to us as well. Judging from atop the fridge and lounging in the windowsill, cats use their vantage point to survey their happy home. It's no wonder they perch atop their families, coming to kitty conclusions about their 42nd meal of the day, the frequency of their feather games, and the ideal cuddling temperature. Cats have honed their feline senses to reflect their ideal world, and it's up to us hoomans to decipher the kitty code to create the purrfect, cat-approved home.

It's up to us to give the house cat the happy, healthy, sunlit life that they deserve. Because they give us all of the happiness in the world, with one purr or one meow, so we owe it to them to reciprocate.
