Every day feels a bit better with a cat around…

This is for all of the pawparents out there who are missing their feline friend a little too much today. Sure, there are days in which spending time at work far from your cat doesn't seem to be as heavy as other days, where the simple idea of leaving home is just awful. But we gotta do what we need to, so if we have to leave the house for work, then at least we can bring these doses of cat memes to make the distance feel shorter.

And the best part of all of this is that I'm sure the cat is happy to be alone for a bit. I can imagine the type of pawparent you are: you understand that your cat needs space and is independent, but you just love to be around it and to squish him as much as possible. And let me tell you: that's not what your cat wants. Although it misses you, your feline buddy enjoys the time it has for itself.

That doesn't stop us from thinking about them, though. It's hard not to wonder what they're doing while we're gone. Maybe they're sprinting through the hallway at top speed for absolutely no reason. Maybe they're enjoying a long nap in the exact spot you were sitting before you left. Or maybe they're patiently waiting for the familiar sound of your keys at the door, ready to greet you in the wonderfully unpredictable way that only a cat can.

Positivity doesn't always come from life-changing moments. Sometimes it arrives in the form of a sleepy cat stretching across a sunbeam or wearing an expression that somehow convinces you everything will work out. Cats have a funny way of making everyday worries feel a little smaller without even trying.
