It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a… miniature black tiger?

Unlike dogs, cats don't come in an alphabet of different breeds. Compared to the over 200+ dog breeds worldwide, the most any recognized feline organization acknowledges is 70 different cat breeds, but most households hold fewer than 10. You've got your puffy Persians, your tortoiseshell kitties with supreme tortittude, meowjestic Maine coons, hairless sphynx cats, your "standard issue cats" (tabbies), terrific tuxedo cats, and then you have your generic black cats and orange cats with one collective brain cell. Of course, there are others, but these are most likely the cats most people have.

However, the world of cats is much more than these select breeds. There are purrfectly rare and unique-looking cats all over the place, like the Lykoi, AKA the "werewolf cat", or the burnt orange abyssinian cats that look like they inspired pharaohs. Today, we have a cat that was found by a random passerby that, in all of our years as cat expurrts, we can't even begin to describe. It looks like a miniature black tiger, or a tabby with melanism. 

Upon uploading this pawsitively beautiful kitty with a unique fur pattern, the cat community couldn't identify it either. Purrhaps it's a variation on a tabby, or maybe it is its own unique breed altogether, but we'll let you weigh in on it with your own opinions. Either way, it's one of the most beautiful cats we've ever seen, and if we had been the one to stumble across its path, you best believe we would have taken it home that same instant.

You weren't planning on getting more cats, but the house feels like it's missing one.

At some point, one cat just doesn't feel like enough. You look around and think, this place could use another small creature wandering through it at random. One cat is great, sure, but two cats feels like balance. Three starts to feel like a system. Suddenly you're noticing empty chairs, quiet corners, and realizing they could all be occupied by a cat who isn't there yet.

It's never really planned. You don't wake up thinking you need more cats. It just happens over time. One cat makes you laugh, another keeps them company, and before you know it you're thinking about how nice it would be for them to have a friend. Then maybe a second friend. The logic makes sense in the moment.

You start doing the math in your head. One more litter box wouldn't be that big of a deal. There's definitely space on the couch. The food situation can be adjusted. It's all very reasonable when you think about it long enough.

Next thing you know, you're explaining that they all have different personalities, so it's actually necessary. This one is shy, that one is social, the other one is in charge of yelling at nothing at 3 AM. You weren't planning on needing more cats, but now it's hard to imagine how you ever had enough before.

It usually goes hand in hand…

Internet culture is a vast, ever-changing web of shared language, humor, trends, and communities that exists largely online. It's the culture of a digital world where memes, tweets, viral videos, and hashtags are as influential as traditional media, shaping the way people communicate, express themselves, and even think. Unlike offline culture, it spreads at unprecedented speed; something funny, shocking, or clever can reach millions across continents in a matter of hours.

At its core, internet culture thrives on connection and participation. Forums, social media platforms, and comment sections allow people to interact in ways that were impossible a generation ago. Communities form around shared interests, from niche hobbies to global fandoms. People bond over inside jokes, obscure references, and recurring meme formats that evolve quickly — sometimes so fast that new generations of internet users barely recognize what came before. Participating in these spaces often requires understanding the subtle nuances of digital language, including irony, sarcasm, and layered humor. Cats are a particularly important part of the internet. It's actually crazy to think about how much they dominate culture today. Who knew that wide eyed, zoomie having furballs would be this popular? And what is it about them that makes us explode with entertainment? 

Cats practically represent entertainment and the internet. They're in reels, videos, memes, and basically have us all in a choke hold. If you're someone who likes the internet, then it's likely you like cats. And if you're someone who likes cats, then it's likely you like the internet. And if you like neither, then what are you even doing here and reading this? Go do something else and leave us alone. 

This is one litter box we don't mind cleaning out!

Having cats isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It's being woken up by the sound of a lamp crashing to the floor at 2 AM, it's constantly sweeping up cat litter and yelling "Don't eat that trash!" from across the room. The worst part, though, is cleaning their litter box. It's the closest thing we have that connects us to dog people, and we don't understand how they do with their bare hands every day. But there is one litter box that we don't mind cleaning out, especially on the weekends, and that is the litter box of laughs.

This one doesn't smell at all, in fact, it has an adorable aroma of hissterical giggles and the finest feline funnies on this side of the internet. We've got memes, tweets, threads, and pics aplenty to keep your cat-centered brain engaged and feline pawsitive all weekend! We hope that pawsitivity will last all the way through Meownday, but we can only do so much. We may be self-proclaimed meme wizards, but that doesn't make us meowgicians.

But in all seriousness, we love ending our weekends with a wholesome scroll of some purely funny cats. It's a way for us to rest and reset before we start yet another work week. It's our little pocket of joy that helps us stay sane in this crazy world we live in. It's healthy to have something to help you escape, and cats seem like a pretty harmless one to us, all things considered. So enjoy these silly slides of funny felines and we wish you a purrfectly pawsitive end of your weekend!

Cats love to play the "cool and disconnected" character, but deep down, we know that they're all secretly derpy divas. It's our job as cat owners to reveal their inner truth for the whole internet to see!

We're convinced that cameras were invented for the sole purrpose of exposing cats' true nature. We know that there are lots of other things to take pictures of, but literally none of them interest us except for cats. And if you're reading this too, we think there's a good chance that you probably agree with us. And since the invention of cameras, people have been taking pictures of their cats (amongst other things, of course). Since then, cat lovers have been on a purrsonal vendetta to show people that cats aren't as cool, calm, and collected as they like to be purrceived as.

What do you think of when you think of cats? You think of sleek, fluffy creatures that always land on their feetsies. Of cute creatures that nap all day, swat at you if you pet them too many times, and are hesitant around other hoomans. But, cats are quite the opposite! They're actually the silliest creatures we let live in our houses, and these purrfectly documented pics below are our proof. 

The immaculate images below show felines fully embracing the derp within, and believe us, they have more derp inside than you could ever imagine. If we had to give you one example, it would be that we've caught our cat trying to chew on the hanging metal switch on our lamp than we can count. It's not edible, nor is it remotely tasty (we tried). And yet, it's still their furvorite pastime.

This is just one of many things we can tell you, but it's easier to show you, which is why we've collected all these hilariously funny felines caught on camera. They can't hide it anymore, these purrfect pictures are furrever immortalized on the internet, and now their secret it out. We only hope we don't come home to find something in all of our shoes when we get home.
