A lot of changes are happening now that things are finally starting to open up again in the world, and these changes are not happening just to you. Your cats, who have gotten used to you being at home with them so often, can tell that something is changing too. And we don't know about you guys, but our cats have been showing more signs of anxiety than normal. That's one of the worst things to see as a cat owner, because there is nothing that we want more than for our cats to be happy. 

So, we went on the hunt, looking for different products that can help our cats with their anxiety - from heated cat beds to calming diffuser kits, to special vests. You'll definitely find something in this list that'll work for your kitty. All of these products have been hand picked by us, the editors, and 'I Can Has Cheezburger' earns an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases from the products we link to.

Whether you're rushing to pregame before a night out on the town or you just want a beer buddy to accompany your shower thoughts, the shower beer/cocktail is always the answer. People have taken to Twitter to celebrate the phenomenon of the shower beer, in addition to other beverages one can enjoy in the shower for the peak experience.

That's part of life, of course, and we're here to help you with it.

Some people have trepidations when it comes to bringing feral cats into their homes. It's hard work, we know, getting them to relax and trust you, but we also know that every cat needs love, care and protection, especially those who are feral but find their ways into our homes. A lot of times, someone like us is their best if not only hope, and though it's true that it's hard work, it is worth it. 

This viral thread by straightcreepen on imgur proves just that. Feral cats are not easy to work with, and it takes a long time to get them to trust you, but once you do, there is nothing more gratifying and heartwarming. Most cats' love is hard-earned, but the love of a feral cat is especially hard-earned, but it is also especially worth it.

It's been a long week already. A lot has happened, we know. And after everything, all that we feel we need right now is some calmness. We want to sit down with a cup of tea by our windowsill, watch the rain pour, and think about absolutely nothing, letting the gloomy weather bring a feeling of calmness with it. Preferably, we would also have our cat with us for some snuggles for that. 

We only have Friday to go, and then we can do all of that ourselves. By for now, we hope these calming, wholesome pictures of cats staying snuggled up and warm inside, hiding from the rain, chilling, and doing exactly what we want to do will bring you that little bit of relaxation that you need. 

We come to realize, we all need a break from the media and constant negativity. It causes too much stress and leaves you feeling quite dim inside. That's why we like to balance it out in the best way we know-how. 

Through cats. Cats being ridiculous, cats being hilarious, just cats being cats. 

They say that petting a cat helps relieve anxiety and worries. However, not everyone has a cat that allows that relief so that's why we're posting fifty images of cats. We believe that looking at photos of cats is just as calming as petting one. So, please take a moment to let go of any negative feelings and simply enjoy this collection of cat pics.
