Meow-velous cat memes
There’s no doubt that cats are feisty, adorable and curious animals. Their independent and mischievous nature (combined with some seriously funny quirks) certainly keeps their owners on their toes—and inspires some of the best memes on the internet. Animal memes in general are hilarious, and no disrespect to dog memes or even corgi memes, but there’s just something special about funny cat memes. That an adorable kitty can perfectly capture a relatable moment lands them on another level of hilarity.
