Cats seem to instinctively understand that cuteness is essential to anyone's day. 

Gentleness is one of those rare qualities that completely changes the atmosphere of a moment, or the feeling you have about a person. When you think of gentleness, is there someone you associate with it? Is there something that instinctively comes to mind? Maybe you have an image of something, a relaxing night inside on the couch, or on top of a mountain of stillness and trees all around you. Maybe it's just sitting in the middle of a park, and maybe it's being with your pet. But whatever it is, soft feline memes will definitely add a dash of gentleness, cuteness, and whimsy to your day. Gentleness isn't just a feeling, it's really a whole aura and atmosphere. 

Cuteness can be everywhere if you let it. It can be how your pet looks at you when you get home from work, or it can be the images of pet memes you scroll on your phone. It can even be in art. Think about Springtime by Pierre Auguste Cot. It's a beautiful and dreamy painting of a couple swinging on a hanging bench in nature, and she gazes at him adoringly. It's not just dreamy and loving, there's something really cute about it. Her coquettish face, her look of adoration, and the way it looks like they're happily moving through the air.  A kitten asleep on a blanket becomes a tiny masterpiece of contentment. A cat resting its head against a person's hand creates a scene that feels almost painterly. There's something timeless about these moments. No matter how busy or chaotic the world becomes, the image of a peaceful cat remains comforting. Enjoy these cat memes for a bit of gentleness to your day, and for that gentleness be transformed into something pawsitive.

  • I know that I don't feel complete unless there's a day of gentleness and cuteness. To me, gentleness is absolutely crucial for my relationships. I can't be friends with someone if there's not a hint of gentleness in them. I really love it, and need it in my life.

  • There's nothing as healing sometimes as the act of gentleness. When someone can speak to you softly, when they can put a gentle hand on your shoulder, or when they can say something soothing to get you out of a funk. My cat is not a fighter, he's not a hunter, and truthfully he's a huge mama's boy. So he's the most gentle thing in the world for me, and it makes everything special. When he can be gentle with me, it makes me feel like I don't have to be harsh either. We can soothe each other with pets, cuddles, and kisses. And honestly, is there anything better than that?

  • We live in a harsh world. There's news all the time of one tragedy or another, and at the end of the day there might not be enough emotional space to process all of it. But the best part is that you don't have to. Being gentle with yourself could mean that you ignore some of those day to day things that don't matter to your personal life.
