Sure, more often than not we like to focus on the feisty side of being a feline pawrent on this page, but it must not be forgotten that there is a reason that we put up with all that fiery behavior. And it is not exclusively because we are masochists who enjoy being tormented and awoken by claws in the middle of the night. It is because there are sweet, wholesome moments that we cherish and adore and do our best to think about in the moments when our favorite clothing is being torn to shreds. So sit back and get ready to enjoy this list of awwdorable cat child memes from the dreamy lives of feline pawrents to boost your mood.
From the cute catto who is attempting to engage in peaceful protest at the notion of moving house, but do not be fooled a bought of clawminality most likely followed this peaceful moment, to clever catto who helps his pawrent with meals by turning on the toaster oven, to the sweet fur baby who simply cannot get enough of grandma's scratchies.
As feline pawrents we are often distracted by our cute cats' stunts, leaving us to forget that sometimes they need some tender love and care too. And this clever catto found a way to bring back his pawrents' attention to herself. Sure, it cost a lot of money and took a lot of time and included an uncomfortable vet visit, but apparently it was worth it.
And this list rather purrfectly sums up what it means to be a feline pawrent. It is to love a creature that on the face of it is simply awful, but in reality is worth every single bit of difficulty. Perhaps a reflection of our broken hooman psyche, or that life is simply not hard enough for us so we feel the need to add complexity.
