90% of the time, having a cat is peaceful. The other 10% are complete and utter chaos. 

Something that every cat owner learns sooner rather than later is that cat ownership is completely misrepresented in the media. I learned this literally the night that I adopted my kitten. It's supposed to be easy. Cats are supposed to be low-maintenance, peaceful, and simple. They're not. 

My kitten, the night I got her, showed me this. I had never owned a cat before. And I was so scared to make a mistake. She was so itty bitty, she fit in the palm of my hand. And my first night with her, she used her itty bitty claws to crawl up my giant mattress into bed with me. My fear was that I would turn and squish her, so I put her back down in her bed. But a few minutes later, she came back to me, sticking her claws into the mattress and fighting her way up. Again and again, until I caved and let her stay. And to this day, 11 years later, and much, much larger, she sleeps with her face tucked into my neck. 

Life with cats is full of itty bitty crimes like this. Tiny moments of stress and wholesomeness, of chaos and simplicity. Some days, your cats sunbathe on your balcony, and that's it. And other days are full of knocked items, scratched furniture, random screaming, and running directly into walls for no apparent reason. And nothing captures these moments better than cat memes. Nothing at all. It's why, no matter how many of these silly cat memes we see, we never get sick of them. Because we never stop relating. We never stop thinking about our own chaotic fur-shedding machines at home who are just waiting for us to come back and cuddle with them.

  • This is the kind of chaos that we're talking about. Small, silly, but my goodness, we bet this cat screams its little head off for hours because of this. Chaos.

  • And this. Another example of house cat chaos. There's no reason for them to follow us in there. Not one that we understand. But we've caved. If this makes them happy, then we're totally happy to let them do it.
