There's only one thing funnier than a silly cat, and that is when you get to share cat antics with other cat people.

Cat people tend to understand each other on a much deeper level than any other external group. Because what do you mean by "stop sending me so many cat pictures, please." These are cats, you should want to see how cute and silly they are all day long… right? That's what we feel about the subject. And as cat people ourselves, who share cat content all day, every day, we know it makes other cat people's hearts happy. And when the cats are being extra silly? Well, seeing a funny cat story is a great way to make a cat person happy.

We love seeing how silly cats are all over the world. When a person shares with the online feline family a hissterical cat deed, first of all, we read for ourselves and laugh. These things really make our day. But we're not mere cat lovers - we're platformed on the cat content site. It's our felinely sworn duty to share cat antics with the rest of the community - to make your day brighter as well. We're not about hoarding happiness to ourselves here.

Most funny feline tales start with… a cat who destroys something. The curtains, a favorite mug, or the TV - anything is a game for them. And as it were, a local store cat made his destruction a display of pride, with no prejudice. And the cat people walking by? They did the right thing - didn't hoard the happiness for themselves alone, but shared it with the worldwide cat community, for all of us to enjoy.

  • “Behold, passing humans of the morning, for I, your loyal local store cat, made art for you. I worked and toiled all night long to craft a piece with a message, with meaning. And now, when you go on your morning commute, looking in from the street, you are more than welcome to appreciate my artwork, and the artist himself - me. I am a great artist, and my meowgnificent creation should be observed by all. And now that you have seen my toilet paper craft, please move along. There are many people walking by, and I'm pawsitive they all want to witness this greatness. Make sure you look carefully, and make room for all other people who need to see something so grand this morning. But please, come again soon, I might open another exhibition of straws or printer paper soon.”

    AnnieGitch YerGun This is hilarious. I wonder if the cat found the papertowels and dragged them out to destroy them in front of an audience?

    If you could post this locally, it could help their business. I'd shop there. Seriously the businesses that help stray animals are where I want to spend my money.

    ChannelSurfing Hero OP The stray cat problem is so bad in this state. I moved here a year ago and have never had a cat in my life until now. I have a stray cat and her 4 newborn kittens right now in my spare bathroom and our cat who is Mama's littermate brother we took in on Thanksgiving. When I found out Mama was in labor I drove to our old place and scooped her and her babies up and brought them home. I am a dog person. Lol.

    Striking-Technology2 Kinda funny cats see rolls of paper towels and rolls of toilet paper as the 'enemy'. My cat can completely destroy a full roll of toilet paper in just a few minutes.

    ChannelSurfingHero OP It's hilarious but also annoying but mostly hilarious when my pugs take the toilet paper in their mouth and just run around the entire house until the end of the roll. It's like the pug version of tp'ing a house.

    CoCoMaloEngl What a beautiful little cat! Such a sweet face. Maybe she spilled water and was trying to sop it up with the paper towels (Being a worrier with 2 cats that love to chew plastic, I can't help hoping she didn't eat any packaging). Thanks for sharing the adorable pictures!
