A Cute Little Dopamine Hit of Meowlarious Cat Memes

Dopamine hits come in all different forms, so let this one be from meowlarious cats.

Cat memes are great because they're so simple, yet hilarious. We don't expect them to get us out of a funk, but they manage it anyway. There's something so purrfect about the combination of cats and dopamine. On the surface, it seems like they wouldn't be related, but they are. These small bursts of joy give us more than a dopamine hit, it gives us a reason to love. We love our cats like we love a partner, a friend, or even ourselves. Never underestimate the adoration, devotion, love, and connection you can have with your cat, and don't let anyone tell you it's silly. It's a deeply emotional experience that should be respected and cherished. And even if it doesn't seem related, flag football is also one of those things that boosts our dopamine receptors, and feels akin to the affect of cats.

Dopamine is the brain saying, "that felt good, let's do it again!" It's released when you accomplish something, experience pleasure, or even anticipate a reward (which is why it's attached to motivation as well). In flag football and cats, they both show us the light, thrilling enjoyment of something. Cats operate on their own mysterious flow. They're surprisingly good at delivering the same little dopamine boosts that we get in flag football. They both carry a certain athleticism too. Cats love to run, jump, play, and pounce around as if they were playing flag football. So enjoy anything that gives you that dopamine rush, especially cast.

Flag football is at its heart a playful version of competition. Bereft of the heavy contact of traditional football, it's lighter, faster, and more about agility and quick thinking than athleticism. There's something about its energizing running around a field, grabbing flags, and laughing together with teammates that makes it feel something like scrolling cat memes. The dopamine bursts, the feeling of being apart of something, feeling understood. It all goes hand in hand. There's both a high energy and a calmness to flag football and cats. Could you imagine a cat playing flag football? It would be hilarious to see their little paws grabbing things.
