Here at ICHC, we always talk about how it's the cat that adopts the human and not the other way around. We talk about how you don't really get a choice in the matter very often. You walk into a shelter, thinking that you're going to adopt a kitten only to end up with a fluffy senior feline instead. You adopt a regular cat only to find out that she is pregnant and end up adopting her kittens as well. And like the person in this story, you think you're adopting a regular, healthy senior feline only for it to not turn out quite that way.

It's expensive to take care of a sick cat, we know, but we do it anyway, because they are ours, and we love them, and we are willing to do anything for them. But when it's a cat that you just adopted, when you weren't prepared for the responsibility, it could be hard. But it doesn't make it any less true - this cat has clearly adopted you, and that means that there is going to be a way to deal with anything that happens.

If you know anything about cats, then you know they are not like dogs in the sense that all they need is a kind voice and some treats to fall in love. Sure, sure, we know some dogs can be more complicated than that, but usually, they're just looking for love. Cats take a different approach. Some cats don't want to have anything to do with you other than live in your home and run the place like royalty. Some cats might come off like they don't want anything to do with you at first, but actually they're just trying to thug it out until they feel unafraid, and then they just want cuddles and love all the time. 

But how do you figure out what kind of cat you're meeting? Well, the number one rule is to not come in too hot. Don't for a head scratch right away, you have to wait for them to come to you. 

There's something undeniably enchanted about black cats. Mysterious, majestic, and just the right amount of mischievous - these feline familiars have been keeping witches company since before Merlin had a beard. In the wizarding world, black cats aren't just pets - they're trusted companions, magical allies, and occasional troublemakers (looking at you, Crookshanks).

Honestly, if Professor McGonagall ever took a sabbatical, we wouldn't be surprised if a black cat took over Transfiguration class and taught it better. Need a warning before a Slytherin prank? A black cat will sense it. Lost your wand again? They've probably hidden it for fun.

Some household tyrants rule with barking commands, yet this ruthless ruler preferred purrs and meows, weighed less than a bag of flour, and answered to Preston. 

 Renowned for weaponising bodily functions, the elderly cat judged every human convenience a personal affront, then retaliated with precision.  

What if we told you that dinosaurs never really went extinct… they just shrunk, got fluffier, and moved into your living room? That's right, your cat might be less house pet and more meowsaurus rex than you think. With their stealthy stalks, dramatic silhouettes, and occasional wild zoomies that echo prehistoric stampedes, it's no wonder so many cats are giving full dino vibes.

From loafing like a tiny triceratops to posing like a fierce feline velociraptor surveying its domain, these cats are clearly the reincarnations of ancient beasts, just with more attitude and slightly better grooming. Their tails? Perfectly balanced, like a raptor's. Their gaze? Pure predator. Their claws? Let's just say they're ready for any Jurassic Bark crossover.

Whether they're prowling through the grass like jungle lords or just perching weirdly on furniture with alarming power, these kitties are here to prove one thing: dinosaurs never left… they just learned how to purr.

Scroll down for some prehisstoric proof that your cuddly companion might actually be a couch-bound dino in disguise.

Khajiit has memes, yes? Very good memes. You look like someone who appreciates a well-earned laugh… if you have coin, of course. But worry not, traveler - this gallery of 20 Khajiit-themed funny cat memes is free to peruse (just don't let M'aiq the Liar catch you laughing too loudly, he'll claim he invented humor).

Whether you're carrying too much skooma or just emotionally over-encumbered by life, these geeky feline funnies are here to lighten your emotional inventory load. These aren't just any cat memes - they're cat memes about Khajiit. Expect maximum floof, minimal stealth, and plenty of derpy decisions that would make any guild leader facepalm.

These cats barter with broken mugs, sleep in your treasure chest, and will absolutely knock over your health potions mid-boss fight. Some are vendors, some are companions, and some are just vibing outside Whiterun at 3 AM, staring into the void.

So come, warm yourself by the fire - and by fire, we mean this purrfectly ridiculous cat collection. Just don't steal anything. Khajiit guards have sharp claws… and excellent memories.

Imagine how purrfectly ameowzing the world would be if people went out with their cats instead of dogs. Cats chilling outside, napping in a sublime sunbeam while their pawrents eat outside a food truck, going to Starbucks and getting "Kitty cups" instead of Pup cups (purrhaps a tuna mousse instead of whipped cream?). Emeowtional support kitties, even service cats, helping hoomans everywhere. It sounds like mewtopia. 

However, you can also imagine the flip side of it - how pawsitively chaotic it would be.

Hissing cats coming around every corner, sleep-deprived felines being out and about all day (instead of napping for 18+ hours a day at home), and litters of cats inside dentist waiting rooms. As much as we would love this new world, we have to keep it real for you - it 100% would not work. That's why we've ranked these 20 funny feline posts by how much chaos they would cause in a dentist's waiting room - from "infinite chaos" to "purrfectly peaceful," these hissterical cats will certainly make your pre-appointment period…. interesting.

Being a guest in someone's home comes with a certain set of basic rules, we all know that, right? And being a guest in a house with a cat comes with a few extra. It is your choice whether to stay in those houses or not, but if you do… the guest has to respect the cat and the things it requires. Guests can't mistreat the cats that live there, guests can't try to discipline the cat or, god forbid, hurt it in any way. We would think that people would be aware of that, but we suppose that not everyone is. 

Don't leave your dental floss where the cat can reach it - that was the only request this friend made of her house guest. It's dangerous for her cat to have these things lying around because he likes chewing on them and has already gotten hurt once like that. A simple request. And yet, it could not be followed.

We're at that awkward middle of the week period. Not close enough to the weekend to relax, but far enough from Monday that you're starting to feel semi-human again. It's a weird, wobbly kind of day - which is exactly why we've summoned the derpiest cats the internet has to offer to keep your meowmentum going strong.

These feline friends have absolutely zero idea what they're doing… and we love them for it. From cross-eyed loafs attempting quantum mechanics, to dramatic mid-yawn masterpieces, to floofy friends who somehow managed to get their entire head stuck in a snack bag - every one of these kitties is bringing their best mid-week nonsense.
