Cats will ignore a purrfectly good bed and fall asleep in the weirdest places without hesitation. The expensive cushion stays untouched while a cardboard box, a folded hoodie, or the corner of the counter suddenly becomes nap-worthy. It's never about comfort the way humans understand it. It's about timing, location, and whatever spot feels right in that exact moment.

They pass out on stacks of papers, in laundry baskets that are halfway full, or right in the middle of a room where people are clearly still walking around. Desks, sinks, stair steps, and the back of the couch are all fair game. If something is slightly inconvenient, mildly unsafe-looking, or currently in use, that just seems to improve the nap quality.

Once a cat commits to a sleep spot, that space is officially off-limits. Legs hang off edges. Heads flop at impossible angles. They sleep through noise, movement, and any attempt to reclaim the area. Instead of moving them, everyone else just adjusts. Chairs go unused. Jackets stay unworn. Work happens around the cat.

It's funny, but it's also kind of impressive. Cats manage to look completely relaxed no matter how strange the setup is. Watching them snooze like that makes it clear they don't need much to be content. Sometimes all it takes is a bad spot, a good nap, and zero concern for anyone else's plans.

A small, injured orange kitten showed up at the door looking for help, and somehow that was all it took. No plans, no searching, just a very clear message delivered straight to the doorstep. After reaching out to a rescue for support, it quickly became obvious where this story was heading. Once she was stabilized, everyone involved quietly assumed she was already home. A few days before Christmas, the call came saying she was ready to be picked up, and that sealed it.

Her fractured leg was carefully reset and healed beautifully. While it is still a little tender, she uses it to play, climb, and bounce around like nothing ever happened. The physical therapy worked, the nerve damage improved, and she got to keep her leg, which feels like the best possible outcome. Watching her regain confidence and strength has been incredibly rewarding.

At home, she switches effortlessly between chaos and calm. One moment she is scaling the Christmas tree with impressive determination, and the next she is curled up into a snuggly ball of fluff, purring louder than seems physically possible. She brings nonstop energy, warmth, and personality into every room.

Naming her became a family affair. The daughter insisted on Fluffy, while the adults compromised with Kerfluffle as her full name. Either way, she fits right in. Welcome home, Kerfluffle.

We spend an awful lot of time and money telling and showing our cats that they are our children. Whether it is the things we say to them while cuddling, or the clothes we buy them for festive holidays or the way that we refer to our own parents as their grandparents. Us feline pawrents do a heck of a lot to make our cat children feel as though they truly are our children.

But one group of brave (or crazy) cat lovers have decided to see what happens when you go on the offensive and tell your cat that they are indeed not of your flesh, but are instead adopted. Well, we will leave the full reality for you to discover, but what we will tell you is that the house cat population is certainly not ready for this news, especially on a societal level. And we have to thank our lucky stars that indoor cats do not have social media, nor do they usually get to socialize with other indoor cats. Sure, the cats who get to go outside for a bit might come across strays who will laugh in their furry little faces at the notion that they would be born of hoomans. But that would not be the catalyst to ruin cat childhood for the rest of us who will not be revealing the truth thankfully.

Look, we know not all people adore cats. They're wrong, but we understand that not all people are built the same. Some are built to love cats like their own children, and some are built to be wrong for not feeling it. Some people are built to adore these fluffy four-legged feline overlords, to bask in the glory of their reign over us, and some people are wrong about not knowing they are under cat rule. Some people love cats, and some people don't know cats at all.

But the thing is, when two of these people meet, it usually ends with "Nah, I don't like cats so much". And we can respect that - despite them being wrong. They know what's good for them at that moment, and that's enough. We're not judging. But when a person actively tries to deter a cat lover away from their love of cats, it's just… why? We can't understand. But what we can't understand even more - is when this person calls you your friend, and tries to deter you from adopting a cat, after you've already adopted a kitten.

And that's exactly what happens to this person here. Their kitten - already adopted. But their friend - they just keep hating on cats in front of them. Why would anyone do that?

Traveling with pets can be a nightmare, and this lady just proved it.

One of the worst things about being a cat owner is traveling. Whether you choose to leave them at home or bring them with you, you're pawsitively stuck with some terrible choices to make. Leaving them at home means a period without them and their company, wondering if they're doing okay, and paying for a cat sitter who may or may not be competent or not. But if you choose to bring them with you, you have to deal with airline fees and extra reservations, rules that change according to each airline, and don't even get us started about making a makeshift litter box for the plane.

And yet, some people feel purrfectly comfortable taking a nonchalant attitude towards it, then get upset when they don't read the fine print, just like our Karen below. She booked her ticket, or her mom did (we're not really sure), but either way, neither of them paid the reservation fee for two cats. She put both cats in one cat carrier and attempted to board the plane with her two cats stuffed into a tiny bag.

Obviously, the TSA agents noticed something was up and stopped her. She proceeded to get angry, screaming and accusing them of ruining Christmas for not letting her get on the flight. Really, sweetheart, you ruined Christmas yourself by trying to get around the rules. Watch the whole video below, and for Ceiling Cat's sake, we hope she never puts two cats in one carrier ever again.

Cats are amazing at exposing red flags about your partner. That is a fact. The way that your partner treats your cat, the way that the cat responds to your partner - it all matters, and it should all be paid attention to. If your partner calls you unhygienic for kissing your cat on its adorable little forehead and then refuses to touch you, that's a problem. If your partner doesn't attempt to befriend your cat or gain its trust at all, that's also a problem. If your partner is jealous of your cat and the affection that you have for it, to the point of asking you to rehome the cat, that's a much bigger problem. 

But if your partner does what this boyfriend of two years did to his girlfriend, that might be the worst of it. The two of them had just started looking into moving in together when he dropped a whole ultimatum on his girlfriend: 'it's me or the cat'. That's what he said, in slightly different words. The cat, he told her out of nowhere, cannot come live with us if we are to live together. And she, thankfully, had the right reaction to this.
