Being a parent is exhausting, whether it's to hooman kids, cat kids, or both.

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding things we've ever done in our lives. It's also one of the most tiring. Between the cats, kittens, and the kids, we haven't slept a full 8 hours in years, but that's okay. We get to come home every day to a family that showers us with love, in the form of hugs, meows, and cuddles.

We're lucky enough to be able to work from home, so technically, we're the stay-at-home pawrent, and we couldn't be prouder of it. We get to watch each family member, with both four legs and two, grow every day. We wouldn't trade it for the world.

That being said, it would be nice not to have dozens of cat toys to pick up every day, plus kids' toys, litter boxes to clean, meals to prepurr, and all the time being everyone's entertainment while trying to get our own work done. It's like working four jobs all at the same time.

But there are those rare meowments of silence where the cats are resting, the kids are napping, and we can enjoy some "me time". During those times, it's crucial that we do things that refill our battery so we can keep going throughout the day. Our choice? Cat memes. They make us laugh, require minimal brain power, and we can put them down at a moment's notice to go check on whatever infant or kitten needs our help.

For all you proud (and tired) stay-at-home pawrents, we see you, we're proud of you, and we hope you get a giggle out of these hissterical feline posts.

When you've run out of ideas for keeping your kid entertained

We can only make up so many games on the fly before we have to start getting… creative. We once convinced our 4-year-old to clean up his toys with a spoon. It took him hours, and he was exhausted after. That was the best game we ever thought of.

The best part about working from home is being able to get back in bed whenever you want for some impromptu cuddles. The cats are always down for a mid-day power nap, so we're never truly alone even if we're sleeping.
