The domesticated feline species insist on some very strict and sometimes paradoxical rules. They want you to give them pets, but under no circumstances touch the belly; they want to sleep when you're awake and willing to give them attention, but they will run about like a madman at 3 am and give you an early wake-up call whether you like it or not. They also often insist on being taken seriously when in reality, they are goofy as heck. Luckily, they can't go on the internet and realize they have one of the most prolific and varied genres of memes dedicated to them. Even more luckily, that is something that their human slaves have full access to. Cat memes are one of the most reliable internet pick-me-ups there is, to the extent that cat lovers are spoilt for choice. Below we have a small selection of what is on offer.
