Chicken soup for the soul is so 2000s. The only thing our souls crave right now is cat memes.

Who has the time to make chicken soup anymore? Not us. We're working pawrents with no time to cook soup from scratch when we need something to feel better. We have about 30 seconds in between projects, deadlines, trying to get 6+ hours of sleep, the gym, and having some semblance of a social life. No, homemade chicken soup is just not in the cards anymore. But we still need something to cure our souls when we're feeling down, and we're throwing out the crockpot for something more instant. Something more like cat memes.

No more blowing on your bites so you don't burn your tongue, there's no risk of harm when feline funnies are involved. They give us that instant serotonin supply that our brains so desperately need, all while making us laugh from how relatable they all are. And unlike soup, we can't get enough of them. We could consume bowl, after bowl, after bowl of memes and it still wouldn't be enough. And the best part is, you can get your purrfect portion of memes whenever you need, without having to go to the fridge, take out the pot of soup, heat some up, etc, etc.

We have nothing against chicken soup. We love it, but it just doesn't work for us the way it worked for our parents. Times may be changing, but one thing will never change: cat memes reign supreme on the internet and in our lives.

Cats love us in their own way. They don't care if they hurt us because they know that beauty is pain, and if your life purrpose is to serve them, then you should be thanking them for parkouring off your face. That they would honor you and deem your face worthy enough to parkour off of. It's one of the highest rankings a cat can give you.

In all seriousness, though, it is getting harder and harder to identify AI images. This one is obvious, although now we do wish that a seal-cat hybrid was a thing. It's so cute!
