Sometimes all you need to start your week is a cute cat purring in your lap or staring at you while you make breakfast and regret everything you did over the weekend.

Your cat may look at you with disappointment, and you know he's right. Just do your business and feed me, hooman. You make coffee while staring into space, processing everything that happened and everything you need to do next. The Monday existential stare hits hard.

Maybe you said yes to every plan you got invited to during the weekend. One dinner turned into three, one drink turned into five, one birthday party turned into the wildest karaoke night ever. And suddenly, it's Monday. Your body is awake but your soul is still somewhere between a crazy Saturday night and a gloomy Sunday evening. Now you have to work, and your cat is the only one judging your life choices. He's sitting there waiting to be fed, looking so lovely and silently judging you at the same time. Being adorable is basically his only responsibility. You're so lucky to have your own personal emotional support coworker living with you.

This collection of cat memes is the boost you need to tackle all your responsibilities and start your day on the right paw.

Cats won't answer your emails or help you meet deadlines… But they sure know how to provide emotional support, which can be more valuable than any other work tool. Your cat is basically your personal therapist without credentials. They won't give you advice or solve your problems, but they sit next to you, purring, and sometimes that's all we need. Sometimes they even get too comfortable. They sit so close they refuse to respect your personal space. They love stepping on your keyboard at the worst possible moment, and of course, they pop into your online meetings. They always want to say hi to the team.
And somehow, it works. They may interrupt your daily tasks, but you feel better.
Life feels better when your coworker is a fluffy cat.
