There are two things purrfectly unnatural about cats: their number of lives, and their overwhelming cuteness.

Do you know where the phrase of cats having 9 lives comes from? We can tell you that it doesn't come from any one place, but a mixture of several parts of cats' history that made up this mythology. Firstly, cats are pawsitively resilient. They can fall from high places and often survive, they're agile, fast, and excellent at escaping danger, and can recover from injuries that harm other animals. We've seen our cat run headfirst into a glass door at full speed, shake itself off, and continue as if nothing happened. To be fair, though, the cat was orange, so there's not much to damage in that tiny little head of his anyway.

Secondly, as cats will never let us furget, cats were seen as sacred and god-like in ancient Egypt. This helped give them their supernatural mystique, making them all the more mythical in our hooman brains. And we can't not talk about cats being witches' familiars, and what witch doesn't want eternal life for her and her best four-legged friend?

Cats may not really have nine lives, but they do send us into a cuteness overload every time we see them. From their little head bonks of love to falling asleep in between our legs, to the slow blinks that say "I love you" without words, cats just make our lives worth living. No matter what kind of day you're having, as long as you have some wholesome feline posts, you can feel like you've got at least 8 more lives to enjoy all that awwdorableness.

We're glad that cats are so sturdy because it means we can bask in their purrfect presence for just a little bit longer. Scroll down to see all the wholesomely cute kitties we found that are sure to make you feline fine by the end.

Finally, a hooman who knows his place! We exist only to serve our feline overlords, and that means sacrificing any part of our bodies at any time to make the purrfect pillow. This cat has trained their hooman well!

How can you resist those big, round, pleading eyes? We can't, and it's exactly why we have five cats living in our home right now, when we said we wouldn't get more than three. We just can't say no to those cute faces!
