Go! Pokeball!

This tail begins with a surprise: a mysterious, collar-less kitty who plopped herself on the doorstep of a WFH human and strutted inside like she owned the place (classic cattitude). Despite no sign of her pawrents, she kept returning, for head boops, snacks, and snoozes, until she eventually showed up wearing a collar and ID tag, revealing she did have a home!

Her actual hooman was pawsitively lovely, explaining that the 12-year-old was full of love and welcome to visit as long as she wasn't causing any hissteria. But this senior meowdel had other plans. She refused to leave, yowled at the door when turned out, and even camped out in a thunderstorm waiting to be let back in. The humans caved (who wouldn't?) and gave her food, a litter box, and a spot on the couch.

Now they're caught in a feline frenzy of feelings. They're grateful to be chosen, but unsure if they've pawssed any unspoken cat etiquette. Is it normal? Is it okay? One thing's fur sure: this clever kitty has found her second home and she's not kitten around about it.

Let's be real, there is not a soul in the world that is working at the same pace and intensity on Friday as they have throughout the working week. Because Friday marks the end of the week and with that the coming of the weekend, and why should we be responsible for winding ourselves down in our free time when we can just as well wind down while being paid to do it. Not to mention that it was the thing that pays us that wound us up in the first place.

So to help you begin the wind down process we made this list of calming cat memes, each feline fluffier and calmer than the last, such that when you complete your sublime scroll you will be more relaxed than a crafty catto who got into the catnip. Just keep a little bit of your whits about you as your boss is still expecting you to work today and you do not want to be caught with your guard down.

Hey, fellow feline fanatic fans. Were you also that "Cat Kid" who always wanted a cat and, for any reason, couldn't have one? Some kids beg their parents for a dog, some are certified horse girls who dream of riding one towards the sunset, but some of us? We just wanted a fluffy feline friend to care for, to have by our side.

This kid from the story below is no different than us, the cat lovers who wanted a fellow floof who meows softly to our faces and purrs loudly. She begged her mom for a cat for quite some time, but life circumstances didn't allow them to have a cat right away. But we all know the Cat Distribution System works in meowsterious ways. When the CDS decides you're a cat-pawrent-to-be, one must comply.

So it's just so happened that when the lovely mom took her daughter to school, the CDS worked its magic. They heard a small, meowing cry from a ditch nearby. And there - was the little lady floof the daughter was wishing for in the dreams. The Cat Distribution System has decreed, "You are now to be a cat pawrent, and your daughter will become her best friend".

And so it happened. We adore a happy ending when it comes to cat adoptions. Saving an abandoned kitten is the deed done by the best people possible. And this mom and her daughter? We salute them. And the little kitten, named adorably "Coco Muffin" by the kid? We already know she's going to be the queen of the house, living the dream, while the kid also lives her dream - together with a cat for many years.
