It is a woeful yet true fact that the work week weighs us all down. By the end of it some of us are so weighted that we just want to spend the weekend with our eyes closed and our curtains shut. But that is no way to spend a life on this world, so we made this collection of silly cat memes to help lighten your heart's load.

After all, if there is one sure fire trick to take your mind off the madness and melancholy of the world, it is silly cats. These are the cats that were born without braincells, the cats who seem to be caught between alternate realities in which each has very different rules regarding physics and gravity. The felines who struggle with their simple everyday tasks but still go on with a smile on their face. These are the cats that we have brought forth for you today and these are the cats that can cure your emotional crash.

So sit back and prepaw yourself for some truly hissterical cattos, with such classics as the postman cat who has no respect for federal postal laws, the clever cat pawrent who tricked his twins into a family photo with a strategically places piece of salami, and of course the cat who was somehow convinced to wear a crab shell on its head. You are sure to find more than a few mood boosting cattos in the confines of this collection.

While this might not be totally obvious at first, this is actually one of the best ways to make Mondays magical in your home. Everyone hates having to start the work week, which is exactly why we ought to make Monday nights magical so that we have something to look forward to while waiting for the day to end. So if that means making a big old lasagne for you and your cat child to share and complete those Garfield fantasies you have been having then go for it. Do whatever makes your heart happiest.

Could you imagine the gall of your cat child, the very thing you work yourself to the bone for day in day out would have the sass to turn around and send you something as salacious as this? Though in a certain sense there are cats who do this without even trying. Any feline whose pawrent has placed a camera in their home to keep an eye on their feline fur baby is essentially setting themselves up to receive these kinds of images any time they check their cameras. Whether it be their cat taking a cute nap, or monching some fine food, anything is better than being stuck at work.
