Cat memes are the best form of free therapy.

We are firm believers that everyone could use going to professional therapy at some point in their lives. We've all been through things, and it could never hurt to discuss those things with someone who might actually be able to help with them. Of course, that doesn't mean that we don't appreciate other forms of therapy. Self-help books, journaling or creative writing, meditation, and other ways of dealing with stress are great. But our favorite form of alternative therapy is… laughing at cat memes.

Funny cat memes are free, extremely accessible, and they always - without fail - make us smile. Scrolling through some silly cat memes first thing when we wake up, before we even get out of bed, is the easiest way for us to smile. Regardless of what is going on in the world or in our purrsonal lives, cat memes are there for us - pure, comforting, and never-ending. It doesn't matter how many you have seen, there are always more out there, being created each and every day, by cat-loving people like you guys. And even the ones that we have already seen before still manage to make us smile, and that is pretty pawsome.

This is something that we have learned from cats, actually. This is our way of recharging. We have been watching them purrito themselves for years on end. We have seen how comfortable they look. We have seen their disheveled faces when they emerge from under the blankets, looking like they had the best nap of their lives. We have seen it, and we have wanted it for ourselves so bad. So, we just went ahead and started doing it. And you know what? It actually is pawsome. Some snacks on the side, our favorite TV show on, our cats beside us, and a blanket wrapped around all of us - yes, this is what dreams are made of.

This really is how it happens sometimes. On a completely normal day, when you are just going on about your business, a cat might show up in your life and stay there - furrever. At least this little dude gave you a warning. If he has been coming back for a while now, then he has let you know, in his own way, that he was in the process of adopting you. You were being vetted. It's your own fault that you didn't notice it happening. And now, you have him, and although you might not have been ready for it, we promise you that it is one of the best things that will ever happen to you.
