31 Happy Kitten Memes to Meownifest a Spectacular Mew'd

Kittens are like Easter eggs of the animal kingdom. Hiding under a bush or curled up in a flower pot, the Cat Distribution System always finds creative ways to bestow gifts and tiny mews upon cat-loving humans.

As fragile and whimsical as a warm summer breeze and as mighty and proud as a roaring lion, kittens embody spicy cat energy down to the letter. Unbridled by common sense and unburdened by age, kittens are driven mainly by mischief and an endless hankering for a bowl of milk.

Although cats have their many purrsonalities, there are common threads of adorableness that cat lovers admire in any feline, and those traits are meownifested during kittenhood. While their origin stories are often wild, extreme, and unique, kittens ultimately undergo their biggest transformation under the watchful eyes of their adopted humans.

We watch them go from ravenous, blind-eyed babies to rambunctious, rebellious teens, and finally start to overfeed them just in time for their metabolism to slow, resulting in the slightly portly physiques of our more mellow elder cats. A cat may scratch us when they play or accidentally bite our ankles too hard as we round the couch in the middle of the night, but those playful wounds stem from a place of love. Infinite love, really.

Kittens bond with us early on using playful, albeit slightly maniacal, means, and it's from then on that our fates are bound together in the stars. So if you're already dreaming of your afternoon, post-work reunion with your own little fluffball gremlin at home, then the memes in this collection will uplift your spirits just long enough to fuel your cute tanks. For there's nothing that'll replace the love and cuddles of an adorable affectionate kitten, and there's no sound so perfect as a kitten's sweet meow, but sometimes a pure and simple collection of kitten funnies will help take the edge off just a bit.
