I Can Has Cheezburger's 2026 Kitten Bowl Recap: A purr powered pep rally of pawsitivity that left us feline purrfectly happy
Many of you probably tuned in to Super Bowl Sunday yesterday, but we only had one thing on our brains: the Kitten Bowl. This year, the Kitten Bowl was a part of the "Great American Rescue Bowl", a program that was dedicated to pet adoption and animal shelters. Our hostess with the mostest was none other than Beth Stern, a purrfectly outspoken animal advocate and TV purrsonality, who commented on all of our criminally small "players" this year with a hissterical and pawsitive attitude.

Kitten shows up at family's chicken coop during rainstorm, dad takes the sweet cat into his wood workshop and names his new best friend Sawdust
A bond between a dad and a kitten he never wanted is the strongest bond in the world. If you think the cat distribution system is kind to certain hoomans, you would be absolutely… correct. Some people wait years until they are blessed by a cat from the distribution system, while others find themselves in a possesion of a kitty every other week.

Animal shelter volunteer gets chosen by the "unwanted" cat who's never shown anyone affection before, adopts him and gives him the unconditional love he deserves
There is no such thing as an "unwanted cat". There are simply cats out there who have not found the right humans for themselves yet. It really is that simple. Classifying a cat as "unwanted" is ridiculous. We understand classifying a cat as one with behavioral issues or health issues - because it is something important for future adopters to know about, to prepare for. But to call a cat unwanted is simply silly. And wrong. We don't believe that such a thing exists. A cat that "no one wants" is a cat that who hasn't found the one who wants them yet. And that one exists. Because every cat has a furrever home waiting for them somewhere out there.

Struggling to survive, young cheetah cub and rescue puppy become widespread internet sensations not because they’re cute, but because their bond was truly powerful
Kumbali, the cheetah cub, was losing weight and his caretakers stepped in to provide 24/7 support, but this also became a double-edged sword. Cheetahs can become anxious when they lack the proper social support system they normally have from their litters and mother, both of which Kumabli was lacking. He needed a miracle, and one showed up with four legs, a wagging tail, and the need to make a lifelong friend.

Clever cat outsmarts cat mom by hiding in the shadows to avoid vet visit, only to get tricked by her hooman the following morning and end up at the vet’s
You might have thought that getting a cat to the vet is a simple affair, but as you will come to find from this story, it is one of the greatest challenges a cat pawrent can come up against. We all know that cats are smart, much smarter than dogs that is for sure. But one thing that often goes unnoticed (mainly because they want it to) is just how devious our cat children can be. Using their incredible intelligence to outwhit us at every turn and making our lives just that little bit tougher and more uncomfortable.

Manipulative cat child trains dog sibling to cry and climb on pawrents any time the cat is hungry, resulting in a well-fed cat and a pair of peeved pawrents, cat says
If ever you need to prove to a dog lover that cats can easily put a dog in their place, and heck, even manipulate them into doing their bidding, then look no further than this scandalous story. For us cat lovers, it is not a massive surprise to hear that another cat has managed to convince a dog into doing their evil bidding for them. It is part and parcel of the contract that we sign when we sign up to love cats for life lest we wish to feel the sharp point of their claws around our necks.
