Heartwarming Hooman Spends Big to Get Their Cute Cat Life-Saving Surgery, Now He Looks Like a Derpy Cartoon Character

Hey, feline fam. If you're lucky enough as a cat pawrent, you'll never have to take your precious pets in for some sort of medical procedure in their lifetime. However, accidents happen, cats get older, and all sorts of complications can arise when you least expect them to. But, like the pawsitive people we are, we always try to find a silver lining in the bad, and that's exactly what this heartwarming hooman did when they found out their awwdorable feline needed surgery on their lower jaw.

The surgery was a success (hooray!), and now the cute cat has an awwdorable overbite that makes hoomans everywhere smile. Seriously, it's absolutely silly and we dare you to try and not smile at it. If you've ever seen the Simpsons, he's the spitting image of Snowball, the cat. It's just the boost of smiley serotonin we needed to get through the rest of the workday, so get your derp on and scroll down to see more pictures of this kitty cutie below. Have a great day!

The Hilarious Hijinks of House Cats: 26 Funny Feline Memes to Soothe the Souls of Homesick Hoomans

Sometimes when we are forced to lock in at the office it can feel like we are missing out on so many precious purrfect moments with our cute cat children at home. However, as is during the night, they are not always the calm and collected cuddle bugs they appear to be, and the time we regularly spend out of the house is their time to terrorize the house to no end until you come bumbling home to feed them. So considering that you might be questioning your choice to be in the office when you could be home with your house cat, we made this list full of hilarious house cat hijinks made up of funny feline memes that will soothe the souls of all you homesick hoomans.

From the camo cat who purrfectly blends into the floor for ultimate steal, to the artistic catto who has been working on its wood carving and has almost finished its first piece, to Glenn the clawminal cat with a penchant for mac and cheese who was caught orange pawed and faced.

24 SuPURRemely Expressive Cat Memes Mirroring the Hooman Experience From the Feline Pawspective

Cats aren't so different from us. When it's cold outside and we want to avoid responsibilities, we seek our coziest nap spot. When we're hungry at 2 AM, we bother someone for a snack. And when we're pawsitively peeved with the world, it's off to our favorite cat tower to stare down at the peasants below. 

Hooman cat lovers have a funny way of mirroring our experiences with our cats. If you're anything like me, a theatrical cat owner, you know that each cat you encounter has a different voice, different mannerisms, and a totally different pawsonality based on their sass levels. It's only natural to project our fancies on our felines because they're not only our best buds but our purrtner in crime! So if you love your kitty and miss them every day while you're out running errands, working (ew), or socializing with friends, remember that they're silently judging you from afar, waiting for their favorite bald, bipedal giant to come pop open a new can of wet food for them. You are so cherished!

1-year-old siamese cat refuses to use the bathroom unless human accompanies him to the litter box, fed up feline owner seeks solutions: 'My cat demands bathroom reciprocity'

Cats are truly unique creatures. Much like us humans, each one has their own completely developed personality and quirks. Some cats are perpetual balls of energy, pausing from their mischief only to engage in a well deserved cat nap. Some cats are totally indifferent to your existence, you could provide them with treats, pets, the whole lot and still not receive much attention in return. And some cats need their favorite human to accompany them to the litter box any time they need to take care of business. The cat featured in the story we are covering today is the latter, and might we add, a total goofball. 

To be honest, this is a new one for us. We have yet to come across a cat who demands that their human be present during all bathroom activities. We've heard of cats who like to go to the bathroom while their humans are in the bathroom, to protect them from whatever evil lies dormant in the toilet, but yeah, this is a new one. What advice would you give to the original poster? All we can think of is to laugh and cry at the same time.

But you, being a feline fanatic, are lucky to have a permanent support system in place, in the form of feline funnies. And this list of colossally cute cat memes for hoomans having a horrible week and need a double dose of cat comfort, is chock-full to the gills with hilarious cats.

From the comfort eating catto who was more than a little bummed out that the takeout place gave him three forks even though he only ordered for one, to the captivated cat pawrent who has permanently booked themselves up to spend time with their furry felines.

Heartless Owner Returns Cat to Shelter Because She ‘Wanted to Cuddle Them at Night’, Then Her New Hooman Un-Breaks Our Hearts and Shows She’s Living Her Snuggliest Life Now

Look, we have heard stories of cats being returned to shelters. We have heard people say that they felt like they had no choice. The couldn't afford taking care of a cat anymore, they found out they were allergic… there are all kinds of reasons. At least everyone who returns a cat is a heartbroken, at least that's what we thought. We never imagined that someone would do it because the cat they adopted wanted to cuddle with them at nighttime. 

Everyone wants a velcro cat, right? Cuddly cats are the best! Cuddling with your cat is one of the best feelings in the world. The trust they show you, the love, the calmness that being so close to them gives you… there is nothing quite like it. To complain about a cat being too cuddly is like complaining about something being too tasty. It's silly. And ridiculous. And thank goodness that this sweet girl is now in the hands of someone who actually deserves her.
