Isn't it time to paws for a second, take a deep breath and focus on some cats? 

Going 100 miles a minute is not the solution. It never is. Going through life rushing through everything is not healthy. Things will wait. Right now, you're sitting with your phone in your hand, and we can bet that you're tense, that you're doing ten things at the same time. Let your shoulders drop. When you're washing your hair in the shower, slow down, your scalp will thank you. When you're drinking your coffee in the morning, take your time, savor it. Speeding might save you a few minutes, but you're risking a whole lot more. And that's true for everything in your life. Sometimes, you just need to stop, take a deep, long breath, and enjoy some wholesome cat memes. 

All of it is not that simple, obviously, and I have to remind myself to slow down all the time too. Cute and silly cats - that's my way of doing it. I could scroll through social media some more, but I know what I'll find there. Chaos and overstimulation. Whereas when it comes to logging onto ICHC and scrolling through some simple cat memes is something that helps me retain my balance. It's something simple. And it's something that I actually want to savor. I know that scrolling through cat memes will be better for my mental health than most of the other things that I can do online. So, I do that, and I let you participate in my little meowments of joy too by putting together collections like the one you're about to see today. Simple, feel-good cat memes that you can stop and enjoy, that will help you slow down even in this incredibly busy and fast-paced world.

  • Cats do this all the time. They just log out. They go into zen mode, and they stay there for a while, just chilling, letting the world around them keep spinning without their input. That's good. We should learn this from cats.

  • It really is that simple, and if you're someone who lives with cats, then you know this. One kitty noise, and you are instantly smiling. Just like that.
