Ready for another impurrrfect Monday?

Another week, another collection of cat memes suffering because it's Monday again. Nothing can express how we feel about having to start the week, fresh out of a comfy weekend, like an angry fluffy cat face. Turns out, we are all Garfield, and all we need to be happy is a cup of morning coffee, lots and lots of lasagna, and no Mondays ever again. Sadly, we are not cats. In fact, we have cats waiting at home, and because we want to continue to spoil them with fancy food and complicated toys they will never use, we must continue to attend our jobs. That said, it doesn't mean we cannot complain about them every single week.

Mondays have a special kind of feeling. By that we mean a "horror" kind of feeling that starts haunting us from Sunday. The approaching responsibilities, the growing to-do list, the everlasting unnecessary meetings that are sure to come, the email typos, and the whole adulthood thing we haven't gotten a handle on quite yet. The eternal wait for the weekend. Then, when the weekend finally does come, Monday is always there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for us to be comfortably watching a show while snuggling in bed, to jump-scare us into having to wake up early again.

If you're looking for someone to relate to, we're here for you. We get it. Although, yes, our job is to search for memes daily, so maybe we don't get it too much. Alternatively, cats are way more adorable than us, and more expressive too. They also hate to be woken up from a nap, and they also want to snack and receive cuddles all day. Per usual, cats are better than us at everything. This collection of memes will prove once more that cats are really our spirit animals when it comes to our deepest and darkest thoughts against Mondays. They are cute and fluffy, and very much scary when they are hungry at 3 am. So, next time you're feeling completely exhausted before the week actually begins, just come back to this list. Let's make Mondays better by catifiying them. Still Mondays, but with a lot more meows involved.
