33 Cat Memes Softer Than a Kitten Sunbathing on a Sleepy Afternoon

The workday is over, you're too sleepy to be productive, and the only thing on your mind… soft cat memes.

At least, this is how we are throughout the day. We may do this for a living - putting together listicles and listicles of silly and wholesome cat memes, but that doesn't mean that we are sick of them after work. Back when we started working here, we were worried about that. Cat memes have always been our comfort, our way of disconnecting from the world and smiling at something completely pure. We worried that would change, but it didn't. If anything, now, we only love cats and cat memes more, because we know how much love and effort go into them.

And these soft cat memes are still our comfort. The same way that we know that they are for you as well. On a sleepy afternoon, after a long and tiring workday, the best way to chill out and let go of the stress of the day is to lie back with your cat and scroll through some cat silliness.

We actually love doing this for a living, because not only do we get to look at tiny, cute and silly cats all day long, we also get to share them with you guys. We get to share the love, the wholesomeness, the silliness and the smiles. It's why we love ICHC. No matter what is going on in the world or on the internet, there is always one place to come back to where things are all cats and nothing but cats. And nowadays, with the chaos that is happening online every two seconds, we think that having a safe space to come back to when things are hectic and insane is invaluable. And we're happy to be part of that.

Mindblown every time.

We think that is part of the fun, no? These discoveries that we make as adults about our favorite songs. Sometimes, these discoveries are mildly traumatizing. Other times, they are silly and hilarious. And that's pawsome.

The abyss is adorable.

No one fights against adopting a cat more than dads. And we don't even know why. All evidence suggests that once you get the cat, the dad is the one bonded with it the most. Maybe that's why they're against it. They know the cats will have them wrapped around their little paws, doing everything that they want.
