Confessions of a Lit Nerd

This family drama is pawsitively wild. An 18-year-old took in a kitten that was meant for his 20-year-old brother… but guess who couldn't be bothered to lift a paw? Big brother didn't feed her, play with her, or spend a single cent on her care. Meanwhile, the younger sibling became her hero. He paid for food, litter, vet bills, meds, everything the kitten needed. Naturally, the clever little cat chose him as her favorite. She sleeps in his bed, follows him around, and feels safest by his side.

Now, out of the blue, the brother is throwing a catty tantrum. He claims it's "unfair" that the kitten bonded with the person who's actually there for her. He wants the kitten handed over simply because she was originally his. Even though he hasn't done a whisker's worth of work. Thankfully, Mom's backing the brother who actually cares.

Cats aren't prizes, they're family. And this kitten already picked hers.

Another week, and at this point, we don't know how we're managing to stay sane. Kidding. We do know. Sure, the world is crazy, but some things are and always have been pawsitive and wholesome. Those things are known as cats. And that is why here, at ICanHasCheezburger, we put together all of the most best cat content every single week into one purrfect meowgazine. 

Cats are the best thing about the internet. That is true, and we are willing to fight for this position. They keep us staying pawsitive throughout even the most complicated of times, which it certainly seems to be right meow. And we are talking about all of it - all that they give - whether it is hilarious cat memes or wholesome cat stories or epic cat tweets that even the biggest twitter haters cannot deny being pawsome. We are thankful for cats and everything that they have done for the internet, and here is where we show them the love that they deserve.

One of the things we pawsitively love most about cats is that they never fail to surprise you. Fur example, one minute you've searched the entire house and can't find them, then as soon as you give up, they meowgically appear right in front of you on the counter (where they're not supposed to be). They also surprise us with how much they love to make friends with the most random of animals. Cats have been known to adopt otters, sheep, puppies, and now, this stray cat below has adopted a rescue lynx that's living in a zoo.

After sneaking into the lynx's enclosure, everyone got worried. Big cats are still wild, after all. But, the lynx ended up falling head-over-paws for their new fuzzy feline friend, and is obsessed with playing with the kitty and snuggling up next to them. If you were looking for the purrfect heartwarming and awwdorable cat video today, congratulations, you found it! Watch the whole thing below and have a great day!

Calling all cat parents in need of a Caturday pick-me-up! All aboard the feline fan train!

My cat told me that I needed to upload these memes today. I don't make the rules. Now, you have to see every single last one of them. Luckily, you probably want to look at them, hence why you clicked on this article in the first place. Enough blabbering… Let's get to what you came here for!

What more is there to say about cats? They're lovable, independent, silly creatures who go about their days sleeping and chowing down on some cat kibble. The life of a cat is one that is coveted by many, but especially by hoomans. If I got to have nine lives and every single one of them put me in a home with a cat meowther and the promise of an endless supply of food, I wouldn't want for anything more. At the end of the day, all we want is unconditional love from someone who is crazy about us, and being the cat child of a feline pawrent seems like the right timeline to be in. What do you think?

Summer vacation is here, and cats everywhere are packing their imaginary suitcases for a season of pawsitively purrfect relaxation. No flight delays, no stressful travel plans. Just a one-way ticket to the sunny spot on the windowsill. Who needs a beach when you've got a litter box and a patch of sunlight?

These furry vacationers are living their best lives: stretching out like fluffy beach towels, knocking over water bowls like they're testing pool temps, and demanding room service (aka treats on demand) at all hours. Their idea of sightseeing? Staring at birds for hours like feathery little tour guides.

And forget souvenirs. Your cat will bring you the finest gift of all: a hairball thoughtfully placed in your flip-flop. Consider it a token of their summer love.

Whether they're snoozing through the heat or sprinting around the house at 2 a.m. like it's spring break, cats are truly experts at making the most of vacation vibes. Just don't expect them to chip in for gas money on your road trip. They're staying home… where the real party is.

Introvert cats are the real masters of meow time. These shy floofs would rather curl up in a cozy box than mingle with the whole clowder at a pawty. You won't catch them causing a cattastrophe in the middle of the room. They're the ones observing quietly from the windowsill, judging everyone's life choices with a slow blink.

These kitties are the kings and queens of purrsonal space. Try to get too close, and you might get a polite tail flick or a strategic retreat under the bed. It's not that they don't love their humans. They just prefer affection on their terms, thank you very much. When they do grace you with their presence, it feels like you've won a prize at the catnip carnival.

Introvert cats are also expert nappers. Nothing recharges social batteries like 18 hours of sleep. So if your feline friend likes to sneak away for some alone time, just know they're living their best low-key life. Sometimes, the quietest cats have the loudest purrs… when they finally decide to share them!

How many times have you walked around on the street, heard a kitten crying, and kept walking? Everyone does it. Because everyone's busy with their won lives and their own responsibilities. Even those of us who stop and help a kitten in need more often than not can't do it every single time they hear one. Most people hear and walk. And that is why we celebrate the people who don't - the people who stop, who help, the kind people who do their best to help those in need. 

And today, we definitely need to celebrate. We understand this person's outrage, their confusion about why everyone was simply walking by this kitten who needed help. We sympathize. But more than anything, we are thankful. Thankful that this person took the time out of their busy life to do a kind thing - to save a life. And this itty bitty ginger kitten certainly looked like he was ready to be saved.
