Santa Claws often takes the form of a chubby fella with a long, white beard who wears a red suit and rides in a sleigh. Sometimes, though… Kind strangers take their gift-giving to the next level, making a young child's wish come true. In the video you'll watch below, you'll meet an angelic human who decides to make a little boy's wish come true using Walmart's Angel Gift Tree gift-giving process. His wish? A new calico kitty after losing his emotional support puppy.

Losing an animal is hard, but writing off animals completely is the wrong approach. The little boy featured here didn't need to be told that; He knew his heart was ready to love another animal in need.

Not only did the kind stranger adopt a young adult calico cat from the shelter, but she also bought him litter, food, toys, treats, and even a $200 gift card for additional items he might need! It doesn't take much to change someone's life, and this generous woman decides to give the gift of not only life, but also of love, to both the cat and the little boy. Scroll below to check out some of our favorite snapshots and then the entire video!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

I mean... between the Epstein files in the US, and the UK's Labour Government recommending immigration policies that make the former Tory ones look progressive I wouldn't know where to start.

Happy Life Day to those who celebrate the most wince-worthy of fictional holidays... the anniversary of the first showing of The Star Wars Holiday Special

I've been dealing with some things in real life so have not been able to catch up on new shows like "Pluribus" or "IT! Welcome to Derry" as yet. Any good?

I did find that there was a special Epilogue released to celebrate the tenth anniversary of The Bright Sessions which was a bit of a reminder about the transitory nature of time as I could have sworn it was barely five years ago it came out.

And it was confirmed that the Doctor Who spin off miniseries about UNIT "The War Between The Land and the Sea" will launch on 7th September, at the same time as an edited version of the original Jon Pertwee series "The Sea Devils" is released. Certain sections of the fandom are already "outraged/appalled/clutching their pearls" that the Sea Devils will be referred to as "Homo Aqua".

As if "Sea Devils" wasn't originally just a term used by a traumatised person to describe the creatures that attacked him, rather than a more neutral name you might want to use in a diplomatic relationship.

When the weather turns cold, cats slip effortlessly into full cozy mode, and nothing completes the scene quite like a kitty settling in beside a warm cup of tea. The moment a mug appears, a cat magically materializes padding over, curling their paws under their chest, and giving slow, content little blinks as if they're ready to share a peaceful winter moment.

They love sitting close enough to feel the warmth, noses twitching at the gentle steam while snow drifts outside. Some perch beside your cup like fuzzy tea companions, others curl into your lap as if they're part of the ritual. And on extra chilly days, they scoot even closer, acting like their presence is essential to keeping both of you warm.

Tea time just feels softer with a cat nearby. The world quiets down, the cold seems less sharp, and every sip feels cozier with a purring friend in the mix. With their snuggles, warmth, and perfectly timed appearances, cats turn even the simplest winter moment into something wonderfully comforting.

When a sweet little cat wandered up during a day of yard work, this couple assumed she belonged to someone nearby. She was friendly, fearless around lawn equipment, and more than happy to curl up in a warm lap. They thought she'd head home eventually. Instead, she spent the entire night outside calling for help, her tiny meows impossible to ignore.

After hours of talking, wondering if they were ready for another cat after losing a beloved senior boy, their hearts made the choice for them. The next morning she got flea treatment, a warm welcome inside, and a brand-new beginning. Despite the fear she'd want to return outdoors, she settled in instantly. One brief step outside was all it took for her to decide indoor life was exactly where she wanted to be.

Their resident cats accepted her surprisingly fast, turning what could've been chaos into a smooth transition. By the end of the month she had her vet care, her microchip, and her forever furmily.

It's the worst feeling in the world to feel duped. Tricked, deceived, mislead – it's just horrible. When someone pulls a fast one on you, it's not overreacting to ice them out and remove them from your life. But what about your cat? Would you ignore your cat if he or she pulled a fast one on you? It raises a lot of questions, but we'll get to the bottom line in the story below. 


The protagonist is a woman who just got a female cat. She suddenly has the sensation of blackmail, treachery, and trickery. Her cat starts getting into some naughty behavior, and started chewing on inedible things like cords, plastic, or string. Because the woman doesn't want her cat to be getting into trouble like that, she assumes the cat is hungry so she feeds her. Well, it may all be an intentional ploy, and it may be completely innocent, but either way the owner is left feeling blackmailed by her own cat, and the cat's health declines from overeating. The owner worries about her cat since she's gaining so much weight now. She goes to the anonymous internet for advice on her manipulative, fat little kitty. Read the full story below.

What will make the day better? BOOM, a whopping list of cat memes. There's a certain kind of affect that only cats possess. Why do you think the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats? They weren't basing it on nothing. Cats make your day go from emotionally exhausting and arduous to silly, warm, and snuggly when you get to kiss your cat after a long work day. And if you don't have a furry feline friend waiting for you at home, then these hissterical cat memes will do the trick. 

In a digital world filled with ASMR videos of people doing your hair, or virtual dates where you can control what someone on a screen says to you, cat memes will do all the comforting you need after you don't have the strength for anything else. They're so cute that they're scientifically proven to make you melt into a puddle of cuteness overload.

With winter well underway, we can now indulge in those fantastical frost related activities that we have held off from all summer long. Drinking pumpkin spice lattes, dressing your cat child up in coats and hats, and of course getting to use the early nights as an excuse to curl up with your favorite blanket on the couch and fall asleep for the sweetest of naps.

And while that might be something that you cannot quite do at the moment seeing as you are likely at work, we figured we would bring some of that winter wonder your way with this collection of cute cats chilling and napping under their favorite blankets. Because there truly is nothing as purrecious as having a cat who feels comfortable and safe enough in your home to fall asleep under a blanket. Best viewed alongside a comforting cup of tea to mimic the feeling of a cat sitting on your chest.

Cats are clawminals, we all know that. But each one of them has a distinct approach to their outlaw activities. Some prefer to do their business in the middle of the night when they cannot be chastised for being a menace. Others like to conduct their business outdoors, where they have access to the wider population of hoomans and animals. And then, then there are those who want nothing more than to cause chaos right in front of us, to shove their feisty and frenetic behavior in our faces. And today we have just that kind of cat featuring in our story.

So hold onto your hats and your toothbrushes as we step into this story about the cat child who was so displeased it was denied entry to the bathroom that it went on a vindictive rampage. We can assure you that within the scales of feisty feline behavior, it hardly gets any more spicy or vindictive than this.

There's something about an autumn Monday that just hits different - like the world collectively decides to move at half-speed, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, sipping something warm, and pretending the to-do list doesn't exist yet. And honestly? No creature embodies that soft, sleepy Monday mood better than a cat. Cats are the blueprint for autumn meltiness: loafing in sunbeams, curling into fluffy puddles, and giving us that slow blink of "please, no sudden movements, I'm vibing".

So if you woke up this morning wishing you could burrito yourself in blankets and purr your responsibilities away, congratulations - you're already in perfect alignment with the feline fall lifestyle. And since we can't all spend the day napping like a tiny woodland creature on a pumpkin, the next best thing is… sleepy cat memes. The softest, warmest, coziest ones we could gather.

Think of this as your autumn Monday comfort pack: gentle snoozing kitties, fluffy paws tucked under like warm mittens, cats melting off couches like little floofy lava flows, and those half-asleep, droopy-eyed expressions that say "I nap, therefore I am". It's time to slow down - let these sleepy feline funnies wrap around your soul like a knitted scarf. It's Monday, yes - but it's also autumn, and somewhere out there a cat is snoring softly in a windowsill. And for a moment, you get to melt right along with them.

Every pet parent knows the fear. That icy, stomach-dropping anxiety that hits the moment you realize your fluffy little heart-on-legs might be missing, endangered, or simply… not where they're supposed to be. Because when you love an animal, you don't just love them - you guard them. You build routines, triple-check doors, peek under furniture, and develop a sixth sense for "suspicious silence". It's instinctual, protective, and deeply emotional.

And that's why there's nothing quite as panic-inducing as feeling like the only one in the room who gets it. When you care about your pet with your whole heart, it can be bewildering, even heartbreaking, to be surrounded by people who treat their safety like an afterthought. For many of us, our animals aren't just roommates or companions, they're family. Their wellbeing isn't optional, it's essential.

This is why trust in a cat sitter (or any pet sitter) matters so much. Leaving your pet in someone else's care requires faith, attention to detail, and the shared understanding that "good enough" isn't good enough when another life is involved. A missed door check, a half-hearted search, a shrug - any one of these can be the difference between safety and disaster.

Thankfully, in this case, the beloved kitty is home, safe and sound. But the experience is a powerful reminder: our pets rely entirely on us. Their safety depends on our care, our vigilance, and our willingness to take their lives seriously - even when others don't.

One of the things that makes the cat community so pawesome is its people. Cat lovers will do anything for cats - like caring for a colony of 15 feral cats for 12 years. Every day, rain or shine, this kind woman below went out of her way and spent her hard-earned money to care for the stray cats below out of the kindness of her heart. She didn't even really get anything in return, other than watching the cats go from barely surviving to somewhat social over the years. At least when we care for our cats, we get some kisses and snuggles. She just got the satisfaction of knowing she's doing something good for the world.

Not many people would do such a thing. Caring for feral cats is pawsitively exhausting. They don't have the same tendency for affection that house cats do, and most aren't accustomed to hooman attention. But she gradually earned their trust and became a respected member of their little feline family. After 12 years, though, her fateful watch has come to an end, as all the kitties have either left or been adopted. 

Her days will never be the same, but she can sleep easily at night knowing that she gave these cats a better life than they ever could have hoped for. They knew kindness thanks to her.



Last time out, the Weird dramatically flushed a toilet, implying to “the Jason,” “See what I did to this poo? This is you in five more seconds.”

Sushi is okay!!!

Vet day today!

We ended up having to go to the further away vet anyway; we went to our usual but the vet there was all '...we don't have an xray machine here and it might just be swelling but I'd really like to make sure he doesn't have any broken bones in his tail', so yeah. We went and did that.

It turns out it IS just swelling! Which is a relief and a half! They gave him a painkiller injection (which should last ~3 days, which is really! Impressive!!), and I've got some more anti-inflammatory painkillers for when that wears off. Plus poop medication, because while they thankfully didn't find any broken bones on the xray they did find he was full of poop. Probably because moving his tail was so painful! But medication just in case, too.

Anyway, despite All Of That, and also having to be sedated for the xray, more or less the first thing Sushi did when we got home (perked up a LOT from the painkiller) was start sniffing at the back door, trying to figure out if he could get it open and go Outside. SIGH. He has clearly not learned a single thing!

But hey, at least he'll be fine! Eventually! And he's feeling better, too, which is great.

Other than that, played a bunch of Terraria both with people and by myself, and then I got distracted and... yeah. But, you know, stuff and things and more stuff and more things and whatever. Yes. Bed time.

Happy meowrning, cat people! It's finally Sunday, and that means that it's time to relax, chill, procrastinate. Doing the things that we love doing - that is what matters on a Funday like this one. And if, for us, that means spending this chilly day cuddled up under our blankets with our cats as we scroll through endless funny cat memes, then we are going to embrace that and not judge ourselves for it. And the same goes for you guys. 

Hissterical cat memes are good for the soul, that is a fact. And the cat memes that we bring you each and every Sunday morning are not just any cat memes. They are the best of the best that cat twitter has to offer. The funny memes, the silly pictures, the wholesome sprinkles of cat goodness that cat twitter blesses us with. We have it all for you today. It's the best way to start Sunday morning, at least for us. Helps us start the day with a smile and a whole lot of pawsitivity.

WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. 

The Snuggler 3000 is on the loose and has been fully activated. Any and all cat-loving personnel must report immediately to their cozy couches to accommodate the meownster's cuddling requests or else the catpocalypse will be triggered. All cats must be loved to the full extent of the law; additional petting will be requested as needed. 

Say sorry to your employer because you need to clock out early today. Your cat needs you! When a kitten has decided it's cuddling time, all other human activities come to a screeching halt. If your alarm is ringing for work and you're already a little behind schedule, it doesn't matter anymore because your kitty is planted firmly on your chest, purring, closing their eyes, and making biscuits on your tummy. How important is your job compared to the love of your cat, your feline, and your best friend? Exactly. Purrhaps the office can wait a few minutes while you absorb every wonderful meowment with your adorable kitty. You must pay your dues. If your cat wants affection, you must grant them their every wish. 

I don't make the rules; the Cat Cuddling Confederation does.
