36 Feline Funnies for People With a Cat in Their Soul

Some cat people love cats. Some cat people live with an inner soul cat that controls them like an Inside Out sequel.

If you're one of these people who are controlled by an inner cat, you probably already know how it is. The constant urge to nap for 16 hours a day, the unrelenting search for a sunbeam to shower in, and the snacks - let's not forget the snacks. That's all your inner cat talking. And walking. And napping. And pushing the thing you tried to remember off of your mind's counter, just because. That's the truest meaning of being a cat person, on top of loving cats to bits.

But as we said, there are two sides to being a cat person. Sure, your soul might be controlled by a coo-coo cat, but it doesn't mean anything bad. It just means you love cats even more - and loving cats is never, ever a bad thing. Loving cats is a pawfect way to live your life.

Cats do not, scientifically speaking, choose chaos. But evolution did not prepare them for cream carpets. When a cat feels the urge to vomit - often due to hairballs, eating too fast, or mild stomach irritation - they don’t have much warning time. The hairball situation in particular is self-inflicted but unavoidable: cats groom with sandpaper-like tongues, swallow loose fur, and while most of it passes through the digestive tract, some collects into a trichobezoar (the glamorous medical term). When it’s time to evacuate, they look for traction. Rugs, bath mats, piles of laundry - these provide grip for bracing those little front paws during the dramatic heave sequence. Smooth tile? Slippery. Hardwood? Risky. Your expensive textured throw pillow? Excellent footing.
There’s no evidence they’re targeting your most beloved object. They’re just seeking stability and perhaps a slightly secluded corner. Unfortunately for us, “optimal bracing surface” and “emotionally devastating cleaning location” overlap significantly.

You buy a plush orthopedic pet bed. Your cat chooses the top of a bookshelf. This is not ingratitude - it’s physics and instinct.
Cats are both predators and prey in evolutionary terms, so elevated or enclosed resting spots provide security. High perches offer visibility and safety from ground-level threats. Tight spaces, even if they look like geometric nonsense to us, create pressure around the body that can feel stabilizing and safe. Cats also have flexible spines and minimal collarbones, allowing them to compress into shapes that would send a human directly to physical therapy. What looks uncomfortable to us may simply be neutral to them.
Temperature plays a role too: cats prefer warmer environments than humans, so sunbeams, laptops, and oddly shaped warm surfaces become premium real estate.
Add in curiosity and a dash of “I fit, therefore I sit,” and you’ve got a creature perfectly content snoozing in a fruit bowl. Comfort, it turns out, is subjective.
