Delazan's Meander

It has been a long week at the office, there is no denying that. Your boss has been berating you nonstop, your to-do pile dwarfs your done pile, and you have heard the Slack ping so many times over the last four days that it has made its way into your dreams and even when you sleep you are awoken by the phantom sound of a new work-related message.

And all of that weight sure does build up some angry energy in your old tum tum. So we figured you might enjoy a list that harnesses that energy and gives you hilarious examples of how to wield it against those who have wronged you. Presenting this list of feisty feline funnies, you cannot get much more cat than a vengeful sass-filled feline randomly spraying their sass on whoever happens to walk by.

Cats and food… name a more iconic duo. Seriously, these two have been locked in an eternal tango since the dawn of domestication. No matter how well-fed our feline overlords may be, they act like they haven't eaten in days the moment you so much as think about walking toward the kitchen. That crinkling sound? Must be food. Opening the fridge? Definitely food. Breathing near the counter? Obviously food. In their eyes, you exist primarily to serve snacks. Anf honestly - are they wrong?

Happy Friday, cat people! It's been a long week, we know. And that means that it is not only time to take a break, it is also time for a treat. Because you have worked hard this week and you have more than earned it. And we, here at ICHC, think that one of the best treats that you can give yourself first thing on Friday morning, when you are about to go conquer the last day of this workweek, is a whole bunch of hilarious cat memes.

But we are not talking about just any funny cat memes. Every single week, on Friday, we bring you a brand new collection of our favorite Lolcat memes. Made using our very own cat meme builder, these memes were made by you guys - our pawmazing audience. These memes are full of nostalgia and wholesomeness and hilarity all combined together, and we love that. We love that, and you deserve that.

Something that we have always known about ourselves is that one day… we will end up on the news. We know that it is going to happen, and we know what it is going to happen for. It is just a matter of time. One day, we will become famous for trying to pet something that we should not have petted. Specifically big cats. Big cats are basically house cats if you study them for long enough. They act the same. 

Big cats are just as cute as house cats. Big cats like to play just like house cats. Big cats cats like boxes - exactly the same way that house cats do! And we have all seen those people… those incredibly lucky people who are able to just do that- just hang out with big cats. So, we know that it is possible. And although until now, we have managed to stop ourselves from ending up on the news… one day, it is going to happen.

It's been a real scorcher outside for the past….month. It feels like there's no escape from the heat, and no matter how high we put the air conditioning, it still feels hot. And if it feels pawsitively warm for us, imagine being a cat with several layers of fur on top of that! Cats have their own ways of staying cool, but as their pawrents, it's up to us to help them as much as pawssible during these months (that feel like years) of intense heatwaves.

The most impurrtant thing is to know when to recognize heat stroke in your cats and how to react to it. In the post below, you'll find several tips and tricks to help keep your felines fresh and cats cool this summer - everything from brushing to games with ice cubes. We've been worried about our kitties at home while we're at work, and now, we feel purrfectly safe leaving them at home, knowing they won't overheat. Tell your cat not to worry, a "lion cut" is not the answer.

Meow there, meow there. Tis on the chilliest night in ol' cobblestoned cities, breathing with dark memories and characters who used to roam to and fro. Alleyways lit by kerosene crooks, charlatans of every kind, harrowing heretics waiting for their chance to pounce on anything dark, sinister, or gothic. From gathering under moonlight, to reciting ritualistic repertoires  to revive those 6 feet under, there are a sect of people in the world who appreciate things that aren't the standard happy-go-lucky fortes. There are those who prefer the dismal, the depressive, the dark, the gothic. From reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein to Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, some people prefer to linger in shadows than spend their time in broad daylight with other mortals. These creatures of the underworld might even prefer the occasional, yet superstitious black cat.  

Black cats are unfairly and unjustly pushed to the periphery of society, and I for one don't agree with this mistreatment of such a beautiful and symbolic animal. Forgoe superstition and enjoy these cute black cat photos. 

This convenience shopper had one goal in mind when she went to the grocery store: To acquire a carton of eggs and go home. Mission-oriented and focused on her task, she charged into the grocery parking lot with gusto, not realizing that her life would be furrever changed by the tiny kitten thrust in her arms. Sometimes, Fate has a different plan for us, even when we are just on a strike mission to the grocery store to get a dozen eggs. 

If anyone deserves a sugary reward, it's our feline overlords. These cats have put up with a lot from their hoomans. Unsolicited belly rubs, endless photo shoots, and dramatic reenactments of TikTok trends they never signed up for. So it's only fair they get a sweet treat or two for their patience.

These candy-loving kitties have truly earned their stripes (and gummies, and marshmallows). With expressions ranging from "treat me, peasant" to "I'm only here for the snacks," they remind us who really runs the household. And let's not forget the emotional labor: comforting us when we cry, knocking over our water bottles to keep us hydrated, and holding down the fort while we're out earning money for more treats.

So scroll on and celebrate these sweet-toothed superstars who've mastered the art of putting up with hooman nonsense . All in exchange for a little sugar and a lot of admiration. They've earned their sweet treats, one purr at a time.

Moving in with a partner is a major step, but for this devoted cat guardian, it's coming with a serious furball of a challenge. She has four rescue cats she's deeply bonded to, and while her boyfriend, who has a cat of his own, has always been understanding, the thought of living with five felines isn't exactly his idea of domestic bliss.

The couple has had mature, thoughtful conversations, and while she knows her boyfriend would accept all four if she insisted, she doesn't want to put him in an uncomfortable living situation. It is, after all, his home too. So now she's wrestling with the idea of possibly rehoming one or two cats. Not because she wants to, but because she's trying to find a compromise that respects both her relationship and her furry family.

Still, it's not an easy decision. These cats were abandoned before and started as fosters, and their bond is strong. She's committed to them for life, which makes even considering this option feel heartbreaking. It's a real test of love, loyalty, and just how many cats one couple can cuddle under one roof.
