A Cookie Crumble of Internet Cat Memes for Chaotic Days That Need Some Softness

Cookies and cats – what do they have in common? Read below to find out.

When we're children, the simple things are all we need. A hug, a sweet treat, and maybe a cat to pet and snuggle with. And when we're adults, everything changes. We may have more responsibilities and tasks, more at risk, and more to do, but it doesn't mean we have to lose our childhood whimsy. As adults we can still take pleasure in the little things, still be pacified by a simple gift like a cookie, or petting a cat. And therein lies the true bond between a cookie and a cat. They're both innocent, simple, and give us a type of pleasure that is irresistible.

A cookie, fresh from the oven, is a sensory experience all on its own. The warmth and gooiness of a soft, fresh from the oven cookie. It's satisfying and warms your soul more than your body's nutrient needs. Cats give a simple and relatable ease. They're living, breathing things and can curl up beside you, purr, and do a little kneading on you also. There's a quietness and safe atmosphere when you're around them. They don't rush you, nor does a cookie. There's a simple existence to them.

My favorite kind of cookie is oatmeal raisin, and no, it's not because it's supposed to be “healthy.” Of course cookies aren't healthy in the first place! I'm not eating them for health!

When it feels like the world is crumbling, just remember cookies and cats. Cookies crumble too, so what's the big deal? It's A-okay to have bad days, or to feel like the world is falling around you. It's actually normal. Imagine feeling amazing all the time in this climate, that would feel crazy! Cookies ground us with something sweet and warm. Cats ground us with mischief and cuteness, and we can't even begin to live without them. Together, cookies and cats represent a kind of unspoken philosophy: that comfort can be small, soft, and easily overlooked. You don’t need a perfect day or a big event to feel content. Sometimes, it’s just sitting on a couch, a cookie in hand, a cat nearby, and nothing else demanding your attention.
