    25 Meowtivational Memes of Cats to Uplift Your Spirit

    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!
