Cats truly make our lives better, one meow and purr at a time.

It's not a secret that we love cats here. Like, we're a whole website dedicated to cats - memes and jokes, adoption stories, and general cat cuteness that took over the internet long ago. But it's not just a facade - we truly all love cats here. We went around the office to hear some of the I Can Has Cheezburger staff gush about their cats:

"My cat, Waffles, has this habit of sitting directly on my keyboard the second I start typing - like clockwork, every single day. I used to get annoyed, but now I just accept that whatever paragraph I'm writing is going to have a few extra 'zzzzz's in it courtesy of him. Honestly, working from home with a cat means my 'coworker' is unbothered by deadlines and demands snacks on a schedule that has nothing to do with actual hunger. Wouldn't trade it for anything. He's basically my supervisor at this point, and he's terrible at performance reviews."

"I adopted my cat Bobbert the Girl two years ago from a cat shelter, and she's completely changed how I start my mornings. She headbutts my coffee mug until I pay attention to her, which honestly is a better wake-up call than any alarm. What gets me is how much personality she has - she's dramatic, she's stubborn, and she's weirdly obsessed with trying to squeeze her head into my shoes. Scrolling through cat memes all day for work and then coming home to my own tiny menace? It's the dream job, honestly. I don't think I could do this job without a cat of my own."

"People assume working here means I'm just professionally cat-obsessed, and okay, fair, but it's also personal. My cat Miso is thirteen now, mostly deaf, and somehow still the bossiest creature I've ever met. She naps on my desk while I design, and I swear she critiques my color choices by knocking things off the table when she disagrees. Cats don't need to do much to make your day better - Miso just exists near me, purring, and somehow that's enough. I think that's what this whole site gets right: the little things cats do really are the whole point."
