Can a cat cat even harder when they let their inner soul cat shine?

All cat people ask themselves, "Are we actually cats in disguise?" Because honestly, we always feel like there's a smol cat in our soul that controls our every move. A little like in the movie Ratatouille, but less with a rat on the head and more with a cat in the soul. Think of how much cat-like you've become since raising a cat yourself - like cat vibes that have been dormant and have awakened, little by little, since you see a cat every single day of your life, doing their cat thing, and just generally existing next to you. That's that inner soul cat we're talking about.

But that's something we can wonder about between ourselves, because we're human. We have language skills and theinternet, to share ideas quickly across vast distances. But you have actual cats - and we're not talking about the ones in your home. We talk about the wild felines of nature, the big cats who are still wild animals in all their being. These are big bois, but somehow, they're all still cats. So we can't help but wonder - do they have the same smol soul cat within them, stirring their life in the cat way?

Last time we checked, tigers don't speak, cheetahs don't write, and bobcats don't understand a word we say. We can't really ask them. Well, we can, technically, but we'll never get an answer. Definitely not like cat people wondering together whether their lives are controlled by an inner soul cat. But we can have evidence. And the best animalistic evidence we can think of comes, of course, in the shape of memes. So we're going a little off the trail today and bringing you cat memes, but the big edition. Lions, leopards, and even smaller but wilder versions of cats. And let us tell you - they're all very, very, very cat.

Cats will cat, and that's a feline fact

Even big cats are doing the old “If I fits, I sits”! We don't think any further evidence should be presented, but the memes are just hilarious. So, let us continue on this wild and very cat journey?
