For all the perils that come with existence, getting to be alive at the same time that domesticated cats are so common most definitely isn’t one of them. For any cat lover, our feline friends are a highlight in this meandering journey that we call life (unless they’re scratching up the furniture or yowling in our bedroom at 3 AM). Not only are they cute, and not only do we feel a sense of achievement in gaining their affection, but they are also a gift to the internet because of the way that they are a perfect subject for memes. Whether illustrating the relatable foibles of human life or showing us just how humorously frustrating it can be to have a cat or several, cat memes are the perfect pick-me-up for anybody who can’t help but make a beeline for every cat they see. The world is full of cats just waiting for their moment in the meme spotlight.
