In a world where the timeline is filled with nothing but chaos and negativity, we really do need something soft to cleanse our eyes with.

I don't know about you guys, but my timeline, for the past… six years or so, has been straight-up toxic. Something glitched in the matrix in 2020, and it simply has not been fixed yet. Basically since then, my timeline has been nothing but chaos and negativity. News that I don't want to see. Stories that there solely to rage-bait me into clicking them. Drama here, drama there, and just like with every classic toxic relationship, something keeps pulling me back in. Except, at least in this case, I know exactly what it is. It's cats.

Listen, I was there before the madness of 2020. And even earlier than that. I was there during the classic time of the internet, when everything online was funny cat memes and adorable cat pictures. These things were always there. They're part of what made the internet so special, why people kept coming back. And that hasn't changed. Cats still rule the web. If you look closely enough, you will find the cute cat pictures and silly cat stories that you are looking for. They are just being swallowed up by the rest of the algorithm.

And that's why we're here. That's why I'm here specifically, writing for ICHC. Because here, we bring you the things that you actually want to see. Here, I can sit down and put together the most wholesome collection of the cutest cat adoption stories and share it with you guys. I can create something uplifting, something cleansing, something purely cat and make it have an impact. Make it change someone's day. Make someone's frown turn upside down. This is your much-needed timeline cleanse, friends.

Oh, good luck to you guys. Didn't you know? Double the cats means double the chaos. Make the both of them ginger too? That's just asking for it.

Sometimes, things are simply meant to be. If she's cuddling with your dogs the first day that she met them… yeah, she's here to stay.
