A light from the heavens shines down on thy cat. 

We all face the dreaded and daunting mundane midday listlessness. No matter how much sleep we get, there seems to be a clockwork hour that fights against our restful REM and caffeinated beverages, and that's called the midday yawns. The conundrum of yawning is that it's supposed to produce more oxygen to your brain, but sometimes it feels like it only makes us more sleepy. What better way to combat a slumbered sedation while we're in the middle of our work day than a fabulous scroll of felines in memes? Cats have their own way of obtaining an inner peace and tranquility, and usually it's through catching sunbeams. While you think your cat is just indolently lounging on the floor, immersed in the sun's ray, he's actually gaining his 6th sense and superpower, that of peace and enlightenment. 

There's a lot the sun can teach us that we don't realize. When we wake up in the morning and look at natural light it actually stimulates our brains to start the day. We become more alert, our morning cortisol peak diminishes, and we can start the day properly. 

We know better than anyone how crucial a good scroll is for health. Where would society be without cat memes? Would Taylor Swift be writing catchy hits? Would Netflix be dosing us all with addictive television shows? The question is one that can never be fully answered, but here at I Can Has Cheezburger we're providing a safe space for that hedonistic scroll. So enjoy these wholesome, adorable, and hilarious cat memes to get you out of your sleepiness. Enlightenment doesn't always have to mean meditation, Buddhism, or a raw vegan food diet. It can be scrolling cat memes!

  • Enlightenment can be as simple as having your thoughts to yourself. These days we're all so online, we're so overstimulated. I really think it stunts a big part of our healing and creativity. When one part of our brain is always wondering something else or checking our phones we don't have the ability to calm ourselves in the same way. I think spending time with oneself and your own thoughts is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
