This is a case of misstaken identity. A WFH hooman in a duplex lives with Pickles, a grey tabby famous for side-eye and a purr rate of zero. During a DoorDash delivery, Pickles slips outside. Hours later, scratch-scratch at the door announces a grey tabby return. This cat is unusually sweet, curls on the couch, and fires up a tiny motor. That isn't Pickles' brand, but the hooman blames a life-changing squirrel seminar and welcomes Pickles 2.0.

The next day, the neighbor arrives in a panic asking about Smokey, a friendly grey tabby who purrs at air and dreams of tuna. Eyes drift to the windowsill. The "reformed" Pickles is clearly Smokey, copycat in every sense. Apologies happen, paperwork gets mewved, and Smokey is escorted home after a very thorough surprise sleepover. 

An hour later, the real Pickles clomps in leaf-dusted and unimpressed, reclaiming his post as Chief Judge of Everything. Scoreboard: one accidental catnapping, two near-twins, maximum embarrassment, and a renewed respect for microchips, tags, and knowing a cat's signature scowl. Order restored. Pickles resumes glaring. The hooman resumes laughing.

Look, we get it, being a feline pawrent and having to put up with people telling you to your face that your cat is not your biological child is tough. In fact, it is far worse than tough, it inspires blind fury, especially when there is no retort you can throw back into these peoples' faces. But now, with this list, you have a URL to throw in their face that will send their argument flying all over the place.

For you see, this collection of cute cat children wearing their beautiful baby onesies is great for two things. First, it shows that cats can be just like kids, even down to wearing the exact same clothing. And second, it gives buckets of legitimacy to dressing up your catto in whatever colorful ways you may see fit without worrying about the judgey eyes of society. So pour yourself another coffee and get ready shove those snotty remarks that Noreen keeps jabbing you with down her doggo obsessed throat.

All cat people know - every cat deserves love, care, and a place to call home. Cats are such affectionate creatures, full of love just waiting to be given. And another thing every cat person knows, is that we're all here ready to recive that love from cats. It's a meowgical phenomenon, and if you're a cat person, you definitely know it. The magic of cats is their love, and they just want a home to give it in.

And cats know this themselves. How do we know it? Because cats make it very clear. Some feral strays are begging to be adopted, both because they know a loving home is the place to be, and because they know this is where they can give their cat meowgic to the hearty hoomans who adopted them.

One such new cat pawrent shared their story of their cat adoption - a strictly stray orange who was extremely hungry, ate whatever the kind person could give him, and decided: "This is a suitable place. I live here now." Such as he is. The entire online feline family shared their own stories of how street cats basically adopted them. Or, more accurately, adopted themselves into their homes. We're rooting for these brave cats adopting themselves.

Now that it's meowfficially September, the time for pumpkin spice everything has arrived. Actually, it arrived for us about two weeks ago, but we were too embarrassed by our desire for it that we waited until it was more "seasonally appropriate". It's just so calm and comforting, the smell of the cinnamon, the sweetness of the pumpkin, and of course, that rush of caffeine. 

But purrhaps you're not a fan of pumpkin spice (it's okay to be wrong, we accept you as you are), and in that case, we have something else for you to fill your Fall cup with: sugar, spice, and meowverything nice! And by that, we mean hissterical cat memes and tweets. They have the sweetness of a cat tempting you with the furbidden belly floof, the spiciness of a cat that has been fed 0.465 seconds late, and the purrfect cuteness that we know and love from our feline friends.

So you see, here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we like to cater to all needs. The only thing you need to love is cats, and if you've read this far into the article already, we're pretty sure that you're in the right place. Enjoy these sweet felines with an extra shot of floofiness!

If there is one thing that we can pass on to you as expurrt cat owners, it's this: expect the unexpected. Cats are purrfectly unpredictable. They like to keep you on your toes. One second, they love their feather toy, and the next second, it disgusts them more than a dirty litter box. One day, they love the food you've been feeding them for five years, and the next, they won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. But the thing you can never predict, not even if you think you know your cat like the back of your hand, is whether your cat is going to use their cat bed or not.

Yes, our funny feisty felines are all too happy to inform us that the $70 we spent on their orthopedic cat bed is purrrely decorative. A piece of meowdern art, if you will. To be appreciated visually, but not touched. Why should they touch it, when they have a purrfectly nice cardboard box to lie down in? Or, even better yet, an empty egg carton? Our cats will sleep in literally anything except their cat beds, but the second we try to take them away, they'll become interested. Purrhaps they're not so unpredictable after all.
