Any cat owner will tell you that cats are some of the weirdest and most wonderful animals on the planet. On the surface, they might seem poised, dignified- and maybe even boring to some people. But once you get to know a cat, you realize that incredibly loving, while at the same time being absolutely crazy – and that’s what you love the most about them. To prove our point, here are 75 hilarious cat pics that captured cats at the perfect moment.
1. “I adopted a kitten last week, and the shelter got a picture of our first meeting!”
Is there any moment more special than rescuing an animal from a shelter? From the day you first meet to the day you bring them home, there’s no feeling like knowing that you’re changing an animal’s life for the better. This man got head-butted, which is a true sign of kitty love.
2. Because sleeping is always better with someone you love
Cuddling and spooning aren’t just for humans, you know. Perhaps she was dreaming and the other wanted to comfort her. If these two cuties are in a shelter, we sincerely hope that they were adopted together. You can’t separate a bond like that.
3. 3 friends watching television
The expressions on their faces, even the mouse. This is too good! Dogs, cats, and mice aren’t exactly poster animals for getting on with one another, but this picture just goes to prove that anything is possible. Too bad we can’t all get along like these three!
4. Rare picture of a cat losing one of its nine lives
At first, we wondered which lost life was the poster referring to – the victim, or the attacker. But we soon realized that the caption actually implies the white cat is the life leaving the body of the darker cat. Hilarious, and so clever!
5. Frozen Kitten Lives!
This is so lovely! It’s nice to know there are still people in the world who care. Though this picture may not be ‘hilarious’ as such, we wanted to include it because we knew it would make people smile!
6. Floof and mini-floof
Mini floof was made from the genetic material of floof- unless, of course, mini floof just so happens to be a toy. What is it with cats sleeping in the exact same position as the person next to them? Maybe that’s where the saying ‘copycat’ came from?
7. Memory fur
We can’t help feeling like the owner has done this many times, so now the cats like “not again ffs.” Do you think he’s ever tried it with his face? Come on, we’re all curious.
8. First ever picture taken of a black hole in a visible light spectrum.
Black cats are hilarious because they’re essentially tiny voids with eyes. They’re also notorious for taking bad photos because the camera has such a problem picking up any of their features. We still love them, though.
9. Beautiful eyed cat
Have you ever seen a cat with such pretty eyes before? They’re like two worlds colliding in the most beautiful way possible. She’s beautiful and she sure as heck knows it.
10. “I was trying to take pictures of my new kitten eating and….my other cat wasn’t having it.”
The amount of evil contained in just that sliver of eye is impressive. “What. Is. That. *Thing*. In . *My*. Food. Dish?” Jealousy is an evil-eyed green monster.
11. When you’re late for work and forget to feed the king
This cat will never let his owner forget what he did to him. How could he have failed to do the most important thing on his to-do list? Forget about work, the cat is more important. “Where do you think you’re going, hooman?!”
12. “I shouted at my kitty today for being naughty. 5 mins later I find my other kitty comforting her and glaring at me.”
“Look at what you did! Are you proud of yourself?! Yelling at a (not so) innocent kitty?! *scoff* You should be ashamed of yourself.”
13. Best friends
Some people want to be rich and successful, while others want to be liked by everyone. But us? We just want to be cuddled up like this with a cat 24/7. These are life goals right here.
14. “I walk through the park and suddenly I saw this.”
What’s going on here then? Is it some kind of séance? A summoning of the devil? “Excuse us, sir, do you have a minute for talking about our lord Lucifer?”
15. “My tow truck driver has a cat named Dixie with a matching safety vest.”
Dixie is for sure one of the most important tow truck workers we’ve ever seen. Just look at that cute little vest! And on a side note, does anyone else see the Bigfoot crossing the road?!
16. This man found his cat.
This is so great! We always get so sad when I see “lost pet” signs, and it’s great to hear about a happy ending. Congrats to Ginger and his loving slave!
17. Twins
Oh my…. they are both beautiful specimens. Animals with this mix of colourings always look so beautiful. He’s like her brother from another mother!
18. “Not gonna lie, if I saw this upon entering the bathroom at 3:00 am, pants would be shat.”
This thirsty boy just wants a drink, but meanwhile, his owners are planning to call an exorcist. Bring some holy water right meow!
19. Cat wanted to follow my dad outside into below zero temps. Her face says it all!
This is the face of instant regret- and funny as it is, we hope this kitty didn’t have to spend too much time out in the cold! She may have her own built-in fur coat, but sometimes, not even a coat is enough to keep you warm. Hurry up, Spring!
20. Pet me hooman!
This is a true sign of unconditional LOVE. Anyone who thinks that cats are not loving is so very wrong. That little face shows nothing more than pure adoration.
21. First night home from the shelter
Aww, she’s saying thank you! Cats make you feel simply amazing and when you get lucky enough to be loved this much. We’re not crying, we’re okay… we’re not crying…
22. “Ten years ago, my grandparents agreed to take care of my cat while my family was away on vacation. I still haven’t gotten him back.”
Cats know when someone needs them more. This person’s grandparents probably really appreciate the companionship! What greater gift than the love of a cat?
23. “I love my mommy”
This cat hands-down wins the “cutest thing we’ve seen all year” award. It’s like she’s listening intently to whatever her owner is saying as if there’s nobody else in the world who matters as much. There’s nothing more special than being loved by an animal.
24. This is Pippin, these are his paws.
What gorgeous toebeans you have, little Pippin. We always thought pink ones were cutest but now we’re all confused! Black cats are totally underrated.
25. Nothing to see here
What is it with cats and their love of climbing onto the most uncomfortable spots? How do they do that? And why? Mountain goat: tiny edition, without horns.
26. “Guys, I think my cats might be spoiled…”
As an owner of an indoor cat, we think that this is a genius idea! If you can’t afford to build a fancy cat enclosure, then this could be a great alternative. Just make sure that all of those tunnels are properly secure!
27. She works hard for the money
We’ve known many cats get a little too into their scratching post shenanigans. It’s almost as if they were strippers in a past life. Work it girl- if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
28. “1 year ago today this guy begged the right drunken fool into letting him into his apartment and hasn’t left since.”
Sometimes drunk people do actually make pretty great decisions. We’re sure that not a day goes by when this guy doesn’t regret taking in his kitty loaf. Best day of the right drunken fool’s life!
29. US Cat Force pilots
This kitty looks like he’s on the poster of a new action movie, and we’re certain that he knows just how cool he looks. Harrison Ford, move over! He looks GLORIOUS.
30. “Walked in on cat trying to smother the dog.”
The cat wasn’t joking when he said that there was only room for one animal here. The poor pup looks so defeated! “Today the dog, tomorrow the world.”
31. Both had been separated from their sibling, we rescued them three months apart.
Cats remember more than you think, and they too feel the loss of a companion. This is absolutely the sweetest thing we’ve ever seen.
32. “Mom, my friend is lost…”
The saying is usually ‘cat got your tongue’, but in this case, it’s the lizard that’s got the cat’s tongue. We’ve never seen a cat look so confused before. His expression says it all.
33. “Found them like this, looking for birds…”
Now, this looks like a friendship which this little girl is going to cherish fondly for life. There’s truly nothing like the relationship that you have with your first pet. You create some of your most amazing memories with them.
34. This cat has an unsettlingly human face.
He reminds us of a wise old man, with deep eyes and big white beard. Like someone you know but can’t quite place. Santa Claus, Dumbledore, and Gandalf are just a few names that come to mind.
35. Illegal to be this cute
Cats are really clever when it comes to getting what they want. Research has actually shown that they know that we humans find them cute, and boy do they use it to their advantage. Cats have even been known to purr in order to manipulate us into giving them what they want.
36. I wonder what he told her
This dog’s face looks so incredibly romantic, while the cat is pure terrified. It’s like when that stranger tries to chat you up at the bar and you really aren’t feeling it. Time to do a runner…
37. “Hobbes is a scarily accurate alarm clock. Here he is demanding food.”
Cats are great for waking you up on a workday, and feeling their tiny paws on your chest can actually be a nicer way to wake up than to the blaring of an alarm clock. But when it’s the weekend and we just want a lie in, we can forget about that happening. Ah well, you win some and you lose some.
38. “I adopted this guy a few days ago. Day 1, he hid under the couch the whole time. Day 2… I think he’s good to go.”
Ah, you made it past the 24-Hour Human Test Period. Congratulations, this kitty is now officially yours! In fact, forget that- now he owns YOU.
39. “This is Michael. Michael is completely blind. This does not prevent Michael from doing cat stuff.”
There is no sight needed to enjoy random nibbles, and we’re pretty sure that he’s making the most of that heightened sense of taste. Hey, when you lose one sense, the rest take reference. Though we can’t help questioning how tasty this cardboard box could really be.
40. “My aunt didn’t have a cat carrier so she improvised.”
You might think it’s kind of cruel to take your cat in a cardboard box instead of a carrier- but rest assured, the cat would probably prefer this a whole lot more. It’s no secret that cats love to hang out in cardboard boxes, and this little guy is probably having a great time. Just look at those adorable eyes peeking out of the hole!
41. “It’s 7 degrees outside and the king has claimed his bed.”
This cat is living the life of luxury. Not only has he claimed his bed, but he has his own group of personal doggy guards! It looks like a renaissance painting.
42. “My cat literally has never cuddled with me before, just had surgery on my wrist, and finally decides to give me love.”
Cat purrs are at a vibration rate that speeds bone healing, so snuggle her good! She knows you’re in pain and she really does love you. Feel honored.
43. *Titanic quote*
This cat is looking damn fine, and she’s not afraid to show off. “Send this picture of me to the cat calendars, people are gonna love it.” We’re sure she’s now thrilled (but not surprised) to have gone viral online.
44. “This is my life now. Incessant head hoops.”
Hoops, hugs, or boops – it’s all good if there’s a cat involved. Head boops are a sign of affection, though as we explained before, cats do tend to come over pretty affectionate like this when they’re hungry. If they’re booping, then there’s a chance that their food bowl is empty!
45. “I thought it’d be cute to get a photo of my cat with fairy lights….”
This picture really shows this cat’s inner mad scientist. We love the UV glow that’s lit up the white parts of his face and turned them blue. He looks crazy in the best possible way!
46. “Oh, hi, nevermind.”
“Oh whoops… totally didn’t see you there…” (Attempt 7, the hooman has escaped death yet again.) Cat invasion will begin shortly.
47. “My BF started drawing my cat in Microsoft Paint as a joke, but then he came and sat down in front of us like he was sitting for his portrait…”
This is proof that cats definitely know more than they let on. And you can’t deny that this guy has talent! His picture is actually a fairly accurate caricature of the kitty.
48. “I got him because he has a beard too.”
Who’s talking here? The cat? Joking aside, how proud does this kitty look about his beard? He knows he’s adorable (and mustaches are so last season).
49. “Got Chloe when she was about 2, noticed after a couple of years that she was using the toilet, thought my toddler just wasn’t flushing lol.”
What could be better than having a toilet-trained cat? No more having to pick up poop out of the litter tray! Seriously, how do you train your kitty to do this?
50. Pretty sure this cat drinks whiskey, not milk
This poor little guy looks in serious need of a bath- and we all know how that usually goes down. He looks like he’s just finished up a day’s work on the construction site. He’s had a hard day of catcalling women and making an unnecessary amount of noise with a drill.
51. “The wife was worried that having people over to watch movies would frighten our new cat.”
What a proficient couch potato this little guy is. “Meh, special effects are not that great. Pass the popcorn?”
52. Those eyes
Scottish Folds have to be one of the most adorable breeds out there. We cannot handle that much cuteness- we would just stare into those eyes constantly! They’re like mesmerizing pools of liquid cuteness.
53. “This is what I saw when I woke from my nap…”
Forget about a partner, there’s no better feeling than falling asleep with your cat. It’s just so special when they feel safe enough to pass out right next to you. We love how he’s mirrored the pose of his human, as well!
54. “Do not feed after dark”
This little guy definitely has to grow into those ears- just look at them! For those of you who are too young to know, the title is a reference to the movie, GREMLINS. The more you know.
55. “Found these two sleeping like this.”
Babies are mini heaters to a cat, and we all know that a cat’s weakness is a nice, toasty heater. How cute do these two look snuggled up together? After seeing this picture, we don’t know if we want a baby or a cat more!
56. “A photo of a cat next to the painting I made of him! Did I do ok?”
We can’t stop laughing at this poor cat’s reaction to seeing his painting. They absolutely nailed the facial expression! “Sleep with one eye open, mate… Because you’re on the list.”
57. The question is not what he is doing there but what this piece of ham is doing to him.
Let’s be real, it’s probably because the ham fell on him- and we all know that cats have no logic when it comes to stuff on top of them. We’re assuming that’s also why he slunk off into the furthest corner of the house. He’s broken!
58. “My wife just texted me this picture of our cat playing behind the TV.”
Science has gone too far! Who knew we’d now have cats with human bodies? Or should we say Catwoman?
59. Bed Head
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month- or even your year… If Monday morning had a face, then this would certainly be it.
60. Melting cat
Either this cat is melting, or he’s half polar bear. It’s actually quite a good idea to buy a white throw when you have a white cat because at least there will be no pet hairs. Well, no visible ones anyway.
61. Winter is her season.
These poor, beautiful, bushy cats have to deal with months of sweating under their thick fur- so when winter rolls around, you better believe that they’re going to be making the most of it. This cat is absolutely in her element! She looks like she’s returning from a successful mission.
62. “My cat is pixelated”
Minecat. Digicat. Pixelcat. A rare 8-bit cat. Call him what you want.
63. This kitty
From looking at this picture, we’d say that your life is perfectly safe. Your soul on the other hand… Does anyone else hear ominous Latin chanting?
64. “My boyfriend found these two on his construction site all alone, now they have a new home. Meet Baxter and Athena!”
We go all warm and fuzzy every time we read about a kitty’s adoption story. What better way to make sure these two cuties went to a safe and loving home than to adopt them for yourself? We do love a happy ending.
65. “For Valentine’s Day this year, I commissioned an artist to paint my girlfriend and her cat as a traditional Disney Princess/companion. She nailed it!”
What a freakin awesome present! Would you call our partner with this gift idea? Sincerely, all the wives in the world after seeing this pic.
66. “My 22 year old cat”
This old girl may be 22 years old, but if you think for one second that she doesn’t have the energy to judge you anymore, then you’ve got another thing coming. 22 cat years is equivalent to 104 human years old- how amazing!
67. Waiting for the vet!
This smol cat is either waiting for the vet to return, or he’s hatching a plan to escape. It’s about now that he’s determining whether the gap under the door is big enough to fit through. “If I sit still then maybe he won’t see me!”
68. “My Valentines date was really cute, but he wasn’t great at making eye contact.”
He dressed up…what more do you want?! We all have our little quirks, and you can at least be sure he is not looking at anybody else but you. Boss-eyed but still a Boss!
69. “My brother was away for a month. His kitty missed him.”
It might be just us, but does this cat’s eyes look a little teary to you? Don’t ever let him go again! This picture breaks our hearts.
70. “How I found my cat when I got home. Turns out she got into her treats and was in a food coma.”
This picture is an accurate representation of us after stuffing our faces at the all you can eat buffet. Full to the brim and barely able to move- but we’ll still probably go up for seconds of dessert.
71. “I managed to snap the best split second pose of Mr. P while he was cleaning his paws.”
This cat looks like he’s deep in thought about something. He’d make a great therapist! This face says, “tell me about all of your problems.”
72. From kitten, with love.
Cuteness overload! It may be basic, but there’s nothing we love more than an animal with a love heart shaped marking in their fur. It melts our hearts every time.
73. “Found my cat taking a little nap.”
A cat bed would be much too boring and predictable for a cat. They like to mix up their nap times by always making sure there’s a slight risk of falling. Cats can sleep in the most unusual ways and still sleep like a log.
74. “My mom just sent me this picture of her cat interrogating a mouse. I feel like they reached a mutual understanding.”
This mouse looks as if he’s currently pleading for his life to be spared. “L-look boss, I can get you the tuna. Time! Time is all I need!” It’s like a real-life Tom and Jerry.
75. “She likes to remind me that I’m basically the side chick..”
With eyes like those and that attitude -yep, you’re the side chick. Can you really be mad though? She’s beautiful!
