One of the best things about cats is that you can find them in the strangest of places. There is no place too weird to find a cat. You can find them on vacation in a foreign country, while hiking up a meowntain, and even behind a Costco trash compactor. And appawwrently, you can even find a maine coon kitten behind Costco's! A mom found this tiny, fluffy kitten with enormous ears and purrfect paws hiding and shivering in the cold. She scooped him up, brought him home, gave him a warm bath, and didn't even think twice about adopting him.

All of these kitties are presented to you by the Cat Distribution System and a time deemed purrfect for you to bring them into your home. It's a heavy responsibility - caring for the tiny, chaotic furballs of love we call cats. But, in our expurrience, it's 100% worth it. There's nothing like coming home to a choir of meows and headbutts, and always having someone to snuggle with, and never ever eating a meal alone… ever again! 

If they really did find a maine coon cat, they hit the kitty jackpot. Not only are they great cats, but they're also one of the cutest, in our purrsonal opinion. Read more about this ravishing rescue below!

When it comes to new relationships, it's extremely important to look at how your partner treats your cat. We cannot stress this enough. The way that people treat animals in general is something to look at, we think, but especially your pets. How they feel about animals doesn't matter. They should care about your pet because you do. If your partner gets jealous of your cat, if your partner mistreats your cat, if your partner doesn't seem to care or put any effort at all into making your pet like them… these are all red flags. 

And if the person that you have been dating for three weeks gives you an ultimatum: it's either me or the cats… Well, we think that the choice is quite simple. And we are happy to report that, unlike in some other cases, this person made the right choice. And on top of making the right choice and sharing their pawsome story with the internet, they decided to bless us all with a picture of the cats that they chose.

By now many of you are no doubt in that stress-filled haze of pre-Christmas panic - the one that results from too much shopping and too little eggnog. (Because, seriously, EGGNOG FIXES EVERYTHING.)

So listen, I want you to just sit back, relax, and let allll that holiday stress go. Because this, my friends, is your happy place.

See? LOOK HOW HAPPY:

Is this not the sweetest, artsiest bit of edible quilling you've ever seen? So perfect! Now I want to try quilling again just to make this pattern into next year's Christmas cards.

 

And speaking of cards, doesn't this remind you of all those vintage-styled pretties - the ones on thick cream paper with embossed lettering?

(By Alliance Bakery)

I think it's all the handpainting; it's just SO perfect it looks printed.

 

And now, ruffly goodness:

(By Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs)

See that pattern on the white? I love that pattern. I want it covered in crystals and made into wrapping paper - which I will then hoard, Smaug-style, along with thousands of rolls of sparkly Christmas ribbon, because I seriously can't stop buying that stuff.

Ahem.

 

You may have heard that the Three Wise Men brought the baby Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, but did you know they also brought something a little more festive?

(By Yuma Couture Cakes)

Because it's not a birthday party 'til there are balloons, dangit.
(That silhouette is too, too cool.)

 

This one makes me hum "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" - and with the right words, even!

(By Chanata sweets 'n Decoration)

That pop of lime green in the middle with the teal is just about the cheeriest thing ever, and I love the dusting of powered sugar snow on the chocolate pinecones. And did you notice this is an anniversary cake? SO SWEET.

 

This next one is as cozy as your favorite Christmas sweater:

It's also baffling the heck out of me, since I have no idea how the baker did it. She couldn't have individually piped every single "stitch," right? Right?? Please, someone tell me; I may lose sleep over this.

 

Another handpainted beauty with a vintage vibe:

(Found here, anyone know the baker?)

I'm digging the "snow" dripping off those berries and branches.

 

And this one manages to be modern and classic at the same time:

Black, white, and sparkly red glitter will never go out of style, people. NEVER.

 

And don't underestimate the power of a little red accent on a soft gray palette, either:

(By Of Cakes and Cupcake (and Apollo too))

Airbrushing done right makes me all happy inside.

 

You know, I've seen a lot of cakes, and I generally pride myself on being able to spot what's edible and what's not. This next one, though? Completely fooled me:

(By Gateaux Inc.)

I thought those were stacked hat boxes, but nope; it's cake, and everything on it is edible. The bells, the silky gold robe, and of course the sheet music sides. Plus the solid side has this gorgeous shimmer you can really only see up close:

Wowza.

 

And if you thought that was stunning, then hold on to your giant pearly antlers:

(By Cake Heart)

[gasp]

OooooOOOOoooooh.
And just like that, blue is my new favorite color.

Well, I hope you enjoyed, my friends, because your happy place is now closing. So get on out there, and go drink some eggnog. [lifting cup] Cheers!

P.S. For my fellow fans of blue, purple, and gorgeous galaxy prints:

Galaxy Throw Blanket

There are lots of galaxy print blankets out there, but this one has the best reviews I've found. Vibrant, super soft, and not too thick!

You know that feeling that you get, as a cat owner, whenever you watch your cat do something extra silly? That feeling you get when you watch your cat makes that tiny sound that they do whenever you touch it unexpectely, or when your cat starts to zoomie out of nowhere, or when your cat is licking itself and gets stuck, for just a few seconds, with its tongue out? That joy? It's the best feeling. It's worth all the scratched up furnitue and broken glasses. But when our cats are not directly available to amuse us, there is one thing that comes as a close second, and that is, of course, funny cat memes

This is the feeling that we aimed for when we curated this collection of comical cat memes. We wanted you to be able to open this collection of silly feline funnies anywhere - at work, at a friend's house, or even at home with your cat napping beside you, and get filled with that "just watched a cat zoomie" feeling. Let us know if it worked.

The "morning star" is bright because of several factors, including having an atmosphere filled with sulfuric acid.

It's risky to tell your significant other, who's of course, a devout cat lover, that they can have a cat under certain conditions. Before you know it, they'll be fabricating the idyllic circumstances that complete your pet-ownership ultimatum and all of a sudden you'll go from a cat-free household to a kitty condominium of devoted feline servitude. Once you're in the clutches of the cutest, tiniest toe-beans this side of the Mississippi, there's no escaping the loving gaze of your house full of cats. 

So when this husband told his wife she could only bring home a cat if she found it outside, you better believe she kept her eyes peeled until she found one.

Cats act like the fridge is a personal snack vault they simply haven't been given full access to yet. The second the door opens, they show up out of nowhere, eyes wide, fully convinced something in there is meant for them. It doesn't matter if it is morning, midnight, or the fifth time you have opened it with no plan. This is clearly their moment.

Some cats sit patiently and stare, trying to look polite and deserving. Others stretch up and lean in like they are double checking the inventory. There is always that one cat who sniffs the cold air as if it might magically turn into food. Every sound, every movement, feels important.

What really makes it funny is the confidence. These cats are not asking. They are supervising. Even when the fridge closes and nothing is handed over, they stick around just in case. When the fridge opens again eventually, and they refuse to miss their chance.

There's nothing more comforting than a steaming bowl of chimken soup, especially when it's so cold out we can barely feel our fingers! Soup season is officially in effect, and although there are many great soups out there, chimken soup is the fan favorite in this house. It's loved by all hooman members and felines alike. It's also one of the easiest to make. But, we've been thinking, is it pawssible to take the wholesome, heartwarming vibes that chimken soup gives and replicate it with something else?

We're not talking about another kind of soup (you can only have so much soup at a time), but what about something like soup for the soul? Well, if it has chimken in it, it obviously has to include some cute and silly kitties, and if it didn't, well, it wouldn't be that good fur the soul. So, one dash of awwdorable and funny felines, and one sprinkle of hissterical hooligan tomfoolery… add a bit of water, and finally, the chimken… et voila! You have some wholesome cat memes that are like chimken soup for the hooman soul.

Scroll down to warm your hearts, your tummies, and your souls - there's a whole pot of this heartwarming "soup" below!

Cats, they truly are a crazy bunch. And heck that might even be the reason that us cat lovers get so darn crazy about them. It is just a whole lot of crazy energy bouncing around between us. And seeing as it is Caturday, the most feline friendly day of the week, we wanted to share a little, or a lot, of what we all truly love about our cats. Their cute, chaotic, weird, and wacky behaviors that we oh so crave.

The poses that make you wonder why? The looks that make you take three steps back. And of course the cuddles that are so intimate, so soft and so sweet that you would melt on the spot if you were capable of changing form in that way. So sit back, relax and get ready to be overwhelmed by the wonder of these classically cat-themed photos.

After nearly twenty years without a cat and a lifetime of never having one at all, this couple suddenly went from zero to two tiny roommates. Penelope and Pearl arrived together, six weeks old and already stealing hearts. Everything about their welcome has been thoughtful, from vet care and microchips to carefully chosen litter boxes, toys, and cozy spots to nap.

They are still settling in, learning the rhythms of the apartment and the people who adore them. One kitten hangs back a little, quietly observing, while the other wastes no time claiming laps and purring at full volume. Mealtimes are already a highlight, followed by serious grooming sessions and immediate naps that look suspiciously like total food-induced bliss.

Working from home means constant companionship, which seems to be helping everyone adjust faster. Small milestones keep stacking up, like hopping gates, exploring new corners, and discovering which laps are best for post-meal cuddles. It is the kind of early pet experience that feels equal parts chaotic and magical. With every purr and nap, it is clear these two are already making the apartment feel more like home.
