Sometimes, cats and dogs can be best of friends. 

We know that most people don't believe that. It's a commonly held understanding that cats and dogs don't get along. But in reality, it depends on the cat and the dog and the relationship that they have. Sometimes, they really are complete opposites that don't want anything to do with one another. Other times, cats and dogs are best friends. Maybe they grow up together, learning each other's differences and how to bridge them. Maybe the cat and dog just choose each other, and they disregard the differences that they have, loving each other despite them. 

The differences between them are quite real, we're not saying that they are not. But the same way that humans can put our differences aside and get along despite them, animals can do the same. Cats may be picky about who they love, but once they choose you, they are incredibly patient with you. And dogs… well, dogs are quite persistent when they want someone to love them. The differences don't matter when you want to be friends with someone enough. 

And the kitty and doggo in today's video definitely chose each other. The dog here was a weary one. He got attacked by a kitty when he was younger and ended up not wanting anything to do with them anymore. But this one kitty… won him over. The dog found the kitten in the backyard, alerted his owners, and made sure that they brought the kitten in. After that, it was simply a matter of convincing them to keep the kitten. And really, it didn't take all that much.

The doggo could have waited for his owners to fall in love with the kitten on their own, and we're sure that would have worked as well, but he didn't wait. All the doggo did was win the kitten over. He became best friends with her, and his owners, looking at their friendship, could not bear to separate them from one another. They were too close, too loving. They chose each other, without the human's purrmission. And family members cannoy simple be thrown out. The only solution was adopting the kitten, and that is what the humans did. After that, the relationship between the kitty, doggo and the humans only continued to blossom. 

At any moment, your cat can stop being a cat and become bread.

At some point a cat will sit down, tuck in every visible limb, and transform into a loaf. It happens without warning. One second they're a regular cat, the next they look like a warm roll cooling on the counter. Paws gone. Tail hidden. Perfectly rounded. No instructions provided.

The loaf is a comfort setting. Cats only fold themselves up like that when they feel safe, warm, and mildly smug. It's their version of putting on sweatpants and refusing to move. You'll start noticing different loaf styles too. Some are chunky bakery loaves with personality. Others are sleek and symmetrical like they came out of a purrfesional kitchen.

The funniest part is how committed they are to the pose. Once a cat goes full loaf, there's no rushing them out of it. You can call their name, shake a treat bag, even stand up dramatically, and they'll barely blink. Bread mode has been activated and it will end on their schedule.

A loafed cat feels like a tiny reminder that nothing urgent is happening right now. They're settled, warm, and purrfectly content to stay that way, and somehow that calm spreads to the whole room. You end up matching their pace without meaning to. For a moment, the only important thing is a small, furry loaf existing exactly where it wants to be. 

If it's sitting near the edge of a table, a cat already considers it a problem that needs solving.

There's a very specific look cats get before they knock something off a table, and it's the look of someone about to make a perfectly reasonable decision. The object is examined. The distance is calculated. A paw reaches out slowly almost politely. This is not chaos. This is a controlled study in gravity, and the cat is extremely committed to the process.

Every table is basically a laboratory. Glasses, pens, remotes, your phone, the one thing you actually needed, all of it exists to be tested. Cats are not trying to ruin your day. They are trying to understand the world. How loud is this item? Does it bounce? Will the hooman gasp? More importantly, will the hoomanman run over and provide attention or snacks?

After the object hits the floor, the cat peers over the edge like a researcher reviewing results. Sometimes there is a follow-up test just to confirm consistency. Then they walk away like their work here is done, leaving you to pick up the evidence.

It is hard to be mad when the scientist looks that proud. Tables may suffer, belongings may fall, but progress requires sacrifice, and cats are clearly advancing the field one push at a time.

If you've ever lost a cat temporarily, you'll understand how heartwarming this story is. 

Running away from home as connotations of being a rebellious or angsty teenager. It's someone having an episode of attention seeking or frustration with their life, and it's a statement about wanting change. But when a cat does it, it hits differently. When a cat runs away, it probably means that the cat accidently got outside, and was too flustered to figure out how to get home. Maybe the cat got trapped somewhere, and then roamed too far from its owners. And what could be worse than your beautiful orange cat getting lost outside?

Orange cats hold a special place in the collective imagination, and it's not hard to see why. With their warm, sunny, sunflower orange coats that just radiate happiness. Their shades of ginger, marmalade, and pumpkin give them a cozy, familiar feeling that people can instinctively associate with comfort. It's sort of like redhead people – they're automatically seen as a little bit more special, precious, and irresistible. 

In the story here, the protagonist finds that the same orange cat just watches him from the backyard. It's almost creepy, but when a cat does it it isn't. He sees him staring through the window, and ultimately figures out that the cat actually has a home and owner, and the protagonist is overjoyed when he can reunite the cat with his owners. The orangeness of the cat is so appealing because of the personality. Every cat is an individual, but orange cats have a reputation for being especially outgoing, affectionate, and a little bit silly. They are bold, beautiful, and orange. 

You might have thought that having two cats and a dog is enough for a lifetime of fur family frivolity. But as demonstrated by this pawrent, three are simply not enough to satisfy the itch of parenthood and when another cat turned up, she simply had to bring her into the family.

Now look, we are not going to say that this is a bad thing. One more cat spayed and off the street is a great thing for hooman and feline kind. Everyone wins. But when you are making your household a 6 soul residence, then you have to take a slight step back and wonder if it is the right move after all.

As we have seen with many other Cat Distribution System stories, not all cats who come into our lives are destined to be ours, in fact many are not. But this pawrent seemed determined to take on this catto come heck or high water and put in the time, effort and techniques to make her dream a reality. And it seems that with all that graft she made the impossible possible. You might call it a true love of cats, you might call it Doolittle Disorder. But we think it is just utterly wholesome. 

The weather may be grey and gloomy, but the sunshine is never far away thanks to our feline friends. All you have to do is pspspsps, and it will immediately make your day better with uplifting and funny felines!

One phrase that has stuck with us for years is this: "Hoomans are basically complicated house plants." And although we are significantly less green than the fern in our living room, we can relate because we, too, need hydration, sunlight, and care in order to survive. That's why these winter months are so tough - it's dry and cold outside, and we haven't seen the sun in about a month. It's natural to feel more down during this time of the year, but we have just the thing that will purrk your leaves and mood right back up!

There is a trick to getting the most independent creature on the planet to come to us, and if we can get them to come, then certainly it must work on the sun as well. It's very simple, just go "pspspspspsps", and voila, your cat will come running to you, and hopefully, some happiness as well.

Hugging a cat is basically the same as sitting outside on a nice sunny day, and so is scrolling through uplifting cat posts, which is what we've got in store for you today! These smiley felines are purrfectly poised to get your happy hormones flowing, so much so that you'll feel like a plant undergoing some bright and bubbly photosynthepspsps. It may sound silly, but trust us, it works. We've been using this techinque fur years, and it hasn't failed us even once. 

Grey, be gone! We've got plenty of cattos to bring you some sunshine and good vibes all the way to the weekend.

Get the week started on the right paw with these purrfectly pawsitive cat memes! 

Pawsitivity isn't random and it's not something that can be purrformed or contrived. It really has to stem from our inner mood, our actual feelings. It's sort of a way of life, or perspective in how to see things. It's like feeling like you're always standing with your back purrfectly straight instead of slouched at all. Pawsitivity is something you can feel in the air; it's a mood and a way to live. Japanese culture is known for having rules or social mores around purrfection. There's strong pursuit or obsession with the idea of perfection, which they call kodawari. It's embedded into daily life, art, business, and revolves around the meticulous attention to detail and quality. Another Japanese idea is kaizen, which means continuous improvement, the desire for excellence in every task. So even if you're just sending a simple email to your boss, or taking the trash out, or plating your dinner after work, you do it with attention, focus, and the feeling that it needs to be perfect. 

Of course, that can be stressful to try to make everything perfect. But it can also transcend a feeling of lowness or lack of motivation. There's a respect for work ethic, and a respect for the process. It can be beautiful to harp on each and every detail, and when you apply meaning to the little things, it inspires a sense of pawsitivity automatically. If you tell yourself it matters, then it does. Your inner thoughts and messages to yourself are more than crucial for a healthy perspective; they literally shape the mechanisms in our brain and the wiring to our actions. Not everything may matter, but everything is certainly connected, and if you don't care in something like your thoughts or messages to yourself, then it will be impossible to care about anything else. 

If you want to start your week on the right paw, then scroll these wholesome, adorable, and hilariously pawsitive cat memes. They're sure to inspire that pawsitive mood that is needed to target your work week with diligence and excellence, just like the Japanese. 

Time to start the week with a dose of Twitter purrfecttion!

This listicle has to be one of our favorite things to make throughout the week. We're on Twitter all the time, mind you. We find these tweets whether we are looking for them or not. But when we sit down to make this, we make ourselves wade through the wasteland that is Twitter with a purpose. We are looking for the best cat memes that Twitter has to offer, the silliest cat stories that went viral, the cutest cat pictures that people couldn't stop sharing./ And we do not look at. anything. else. Because everything else is so much less impurrtant.

We make this collection, featuring the most viral cat tweets of the week, every single week. And we do it so that you don't have to. We do it so that you don't have to wade through the wasteland. You can simply come here and get exactly what you are looking for - all the viral cat content that you could pawssibly want without all the drama and insanity that normally surrounds it on that app. This is where you want to be for your cat tweets, not Twitter. 

Meowtivation is related to our dopamine receptors. Memes increase dopamine. More memes = more meowtivation. 

Dopamine is often called the brain's "motivation chemical," but its role is more complex than simply making us "feel good." Rather than creating pleasure itself, dopamine helps drive the anticipation of reward. Like when you're about to beat a big bot in a video game, and all you can think about is ultimately defeating him. When dopamine is released, it nudges the brain to focus, plan, and act.

Meowtivation is the starting point of when the brain predicts a pawsitive outcome. Dopamine is released not necessarily when a goal is achieved, but when you're in the process of reaching a goal, and when it feels likely and possible. Checking off a to-do list, getting a notification, or taking on a new project at work all contribute to the release of dopamine. They all exist within that liminal space between hope and accomplishment. Each small success reinforces behavior, encouraging us to continue. In this way dopamine acts like a feedback loop, shaping habits and reinforcing patterns over time. That's also what makes it so difficult to stop doing a habit once you've started, because now your brain automatically associates it with that reward feeling. 

These cat memes will give you instant meowtivation based on science. Scrolling wholesome and adorable cat memes will stimulate the release of dopamine in your brain, which makes you feel meowtivated. So go on now and enjoy these cat memes! 

Cat's timing can be awful, but when it comes to being adopted - they always come exactly at the right time.

For example, when you're finally ready to take that break and relax, your cat decides you must whip out that laser pointer and play. Or when you have a very important meeting, you boot it up, and this is exactly when your cat meows loudly because they want a treat, right meow. Awful timing, really. But then you poke your head out of your chaotic cat-raising bubble and read another story of a cat getting adopted and think to yourself "It's like this cat came exactly on time". Suddenly, when it comes to cat adoptions, cats' timing is immaculate.

Imagine you have to say goodbye to your beloved cat, whom you've had for years, but then - a tiny feline floof appears in your backyard, meowing profusely so someone could hear, so you scoop the smol fluffball inside. That's exactly what happened to one family, struggling with the notion of saying goodbye to one of their older cats. But then, it's like the Cat Distribution System just knew to send a kitten their way at exactly the right time.
