The internet’s true fuel is memes and kittens. Consider how boring the world would be if we didn’t get our daily dose of amusing kitty photos wrapped in strange cat reasoning. Consider how many memes would not have existed if these images hadn’t existed. Anyone for Grumpy Cat, Cat Jam, Smudge the Cat, Coughing Cat?!
When these two of people’s favorite things are combined, you get the most powerful cattitude memes that communicate all that words can’t. Like all those strange, quirky, and downright ‘seriously?!’ feline antics.
Why do cats eat as if they only had 2 seconds to finish the bowl, just to puke a minute later in the middle of the carpet? And how do they come to the conclusion that wrecking havoc on the house at 3 a.m. is a great idea? What’s the deal with those cucumbers?
We may never know the answers, but we can at least get a glimpse into the strange and fascinating world of cats thanks to cat-approved meme language. It’s the place where everything you think you know is incorrect, and everything you know to be incorrect is incorrect as well. Power cat memes compiled by Gidypet, the stage is yours.

Meanwhile, “other cats are bored and are trying to find outlets for pent-up energy,” Molly said. Most cats' instincts are still rather strong because they are both prey and predator animals. You notice the behavior that makes them jumpy, stupid, silly, and utterly adorable since your house is their new jungle.
In fact, the fact that we don't know what to expect from them is precisely what makes our felines ideal internet content. “Whatever the motivation for the strange behaviors, it’s always good to pay attention to your cat and tell it how much you appreciate the laugh,” Molly concluded.
