For all the stresses and miseries that modern life can bring, we still have to be eternally grateful that we have cats. Even better is that we don’t just get to appreciate the joy of their companionship, but also the humor that they bring in both real life and on the internet. Both those who share their life with a beloved feline or several and those of us who are sadly catless are able to enjoy the silliness of cat memes, in all their great variety. Cats are the perfect muse for memes because not only is the internet full of cat lovers, but the way that many cats take themselves so seriously is inherently amusing. We aren’t here to speculate on the many reasons for cat memes being one of the most beloved and longstanding genres of meme, though. We just want to enjoy them as they come, freshly mined from the wider internet.
