Why is it always Monday that's the most meowing annoying day of the week?

Some weeks are rough, but Mondays are always the special beginning of the week that, frankly, not everyone is ready for. It's tough starting another week, especially after a weekend full of nothing but cat cuddles and sweet feline time. Because these are the wholesome weekends cat pawrents spend with their feline friends. And as cat pawrents ourselves, we can 100% admit we won't have it any other way.

But then comes Monday. Another week, another blah. Getting through a whole other week just to get to have another cat-filled weekend is a grueling task. But the thing is, as cat people and general feline fans, we have the best solution for getting over the Monday madness, turning it into Monday meowness. And that's the purr power of cat memes. All these feline funnies fill every cat person's heart with joy and laughter, getting us all ready to face the week bravely, until the weekend comes again.
