A Purrfectly Lazy Sunday of Cat Memes and Absolutely Zero Responsibilities

Sunday is here, which means it's time to start thinking about the weekend. Yes, we know it's only the beginning of the week, but is there really anything wrong with having something to look forward to? We've barely recovered from our last two days off, and we're already dreaming about the next opportunity to sleep in, eat snacks, and spend some quality time with our cats.

We always start the week with big plans for the weekend ahead. Maybe we'll finally try that restaurant everyone's been talking about, catch up with friends we haven't seen in ages, or take a little day trip somewhere fun. There's also that growing list of things around the house we've been meaning to get done. Surely two whole days will be enough time to squeeze everything in.

Our cats, however, have a completely different idea of what makes a good weekend. Their ideal schedule involves breakfast, a nap, a second breakfast if they can convince us, and several more naps in various sunny spots around the house. Throw in some cuddles and a few treats, and they've got everything they could possibly want. We could probably learn a thing or two from their approach to relaxation.

The trouble with weekend plans is that they always sound so much more appealing when they're several days away. On Sunday, we're convinced we'll have enough energy to go out and do something exciting. By Furiday afternoon, the idea of changing out of our pajamas might already feel like too much effort. Suddenly, spending the evening on the couch with a cat curled up beside us sounds like a much better option.

Of course, there's always the possibility that we'll actually follow through with our plans this time. We might wake up early, get dressed, and venture out into the world for something other than groceries. Our cats will probably be waiting by the door when we get home, ready to remind us that we've been gone for far too long.

For now, though, we've still got an entire week to get through. There are emails to answer, errands to run, and responsibilities that unfortunately won't take care of themselves. At least we can daydream about all the wonderful things we'll do when Friday finally arrives.

Whether those plans involve a packed schedule or absolutely nothing at all, we're already counting down the days.

Five more days until we can cancel all our plans and hang out with our cats instead.

Not worth it

via @purrfectinfluencer
Every time we make plans to go out, we somehow end up canceling them so we can stay home with our cat instead. We start off with the best intentions, but then we see that adorable little face curled up on the couch, and suddenly leaving the house doesn't sound so appealing. At this point, we might as well skip the whole making-plans part and go straight to hanging out with the cat. We know how it's going to end anyway.

Forget being productive and checking things off the to-do list. The weekend is for sleeping, and we intend to take that responsibility very seriously. Why wake up early to run errands when we could spend another three hours curled up under the blankets? Our cats have been living this way their entire lives, and we're finally starting to understand why. Naps are the only plans we need.

Sundays are for lying on the couch and doing as little as humanly possible. We've got a whole week of responsibilities ahead of us, so why waste our precious relaxation time being productive? All we need is a comfy blanket, some snacks, a good show, and a cat curled up beside us. Getting up is strictly optional, and we don't plan on exercising that option anytime soon.
