If we were to rank the goofiest little guys in the animal kingdom, cats would have to be pretty high up there.

They would certainly have some stiff competition, chief among them being our canine companions, who have also successfully assimilated into the lives of humans by being pets. When it comes down to it, most creatures have some kind of personality that it is possible to be entertained by, whether they realize the humor that they bring or not. People are easily entertained by the quirks that come from other species.

However, it has to be said that cats are fairly unique in terms of the cultural weight that they carry as relates to animals that we find funny and cute. Anyone who has shared a house with one knows how endlessly interesting they can be, even when they are doing nothing. This is only the tip of the iceberg; the real heat comes from the large community of cat lovers who cannot help but turn our feline friends into memes. After all these years of meme culture, cat humor remains one of the most popular categories.
