There is one thing that motivates us more than anything in our lives, and that is… our cats. We go to work for them. We're excited to come back to them. They are our main meowtivators. 

It is true. And you can call us crazy cat people for this, but our cats really do motivate us so much. And not because cats are cute and wholesome, and we want to make them happy. Not really. It's because cats have standards, and they enforce them with an iron paw. A cat will refuse to eat anything but the food that it likes, and if that food costs more, then you better work harder, human. It will sit there, lazing about on our couch that we bought and make sure that we, as its servants, are good enough.

Really, cats are inspirational in all kinds of facets of life. We would like to be a lot more like them. And that starts with consuming more of that meowtivation, especially if it comes in the form of silly cat memes. When we are not home, when our pawdorable kitties are not within reach, we must do what we have to to remain connected to the cat spirit.

  • Some people would come to your house, see this, say that you did it, and then say that you are mistreating your cat, because this simply… doesn't look right. But it's very right. And this cat is one very happy cat. It's undeniable. The golden rule stands not just for boxes but for anything - if I fits, I sits. And if that means spending some time inside of a paper bag, then so be it.

    A stray cat was hanging around outside the house, so I let him in to stay warm. A few hours later, I found him like this.

    He's so good at hiding, sometimes I can't find him for days.

  • The only thing that matters here is not the skill. It is not the thought process that is going on through this cat's brain when it does this. The only thing that matters is that the kitty is having fun. You cannot shatter his illusion. You have to play along forever. What cat? You do not see a cat here at all. And you will continue acting this way as long as your kitty is having fun hiding from you.

    Honey @benegotherit People need to be warned. The cat distribution system is actually real. You are not safe. I did not want a cat. I had no particular fondness for cats. Now I'm playing rat piano on demand
