For an emotional reset in the middle of the day, there is only one thing that you should do, and that is obviously scroll through cat memes.

Every once in a while, as we are going on about our day-to-day lives, as we are facing the usual (and some unusual) troubles, we find ourselves looking for a quick reset. Something that will make us smile. Something that will make us forget. Something that will distract us enough - but only a positive something - from the things that we don't want to think about. These days, the things that stress us out are many, and they are everywhere on social media. So, we find ourselves looking for that emotional reset even more than usual. It's a good thing that there are always funny cat memes on the internet.

Seriously, if there is one thing that you can always find online, no matter what is happening in the world, it's hissterical cat memes. Because it is not just us who use them as that emotional reset button. People love cute and silly cat memes. It is something that puts a smile on people's faces literally always. And we are no different.

There is something about looking at pictures of our cats when they were kittens that makes our hearts melt. We remember those days. We cherished those days as much as we could have, because we knew that those days were few. We knew that their kittenhood would pass quickly. And now, we have these lazy fluffballs running around our house, committing crimes of adult cats, and when we see these pictures, the only thing we can remember is the little crimes that they committed, the cute things that they used to do when they were itty bitty and could still sit on our palm or shoulder.

Goodness, we are so proud of her too. She really is doing her utmost. She's clearly an indoor kitty. She doesn't know that this is something silly to do. She doesn't know that outside cats bring birds and lizards to their owners. All she knows is that she wants to bring you something. She wants to make you happy in her own little way, and this is how she chose to do it. She chose to bring you one of her toys as a gift, and we cannot think of anything more precious than this truly. Give her a snack for us, she's earned it.
