Just 32 Purr-Fect Tweets To Celebrate Cats Everywhere

Bust out your finest cardboard box and let your tap run, because this week marked a very important day.

In case you didn’t get the day off of work for International Cat Day – a holiday celebrated every year on August 8 with the aim of inspspsps-ing people to take some time to play with their feline friends – we’ve got a little something that’ll make your day, week (and maybe even month) feel a bit more paws-itive.

We scoured X, formerly Twitter, to find 32 funny tweets from 2023 about cats that are sure to make you want to pal around with your little potato.

So go ahead and scroll down meow — unless you have a cat. If you do, feed them first. We don’t need anyone to have a hissy-fit.

It’s funny that people think cats aren’t intelligent enough to do tricks. My cat walks into the bathroom, meows once, and my husband comes running to turn on the faucet for her. She trained him to do this.

I don't completely know how to explain this, but as a cat owner you quickly learn that "absence of cat (chill)" and "absence of cat (suspicious)" are two very different kinds of silence

how do you tell the mildly disgruntled blind senior street cat that took over your bedroom that he can't bite your face while you sleep. the answer is you don't . like what did you expect from him tbh

I was taking my diazepam before my flight and the Swiss guy in the seat next to me saw and guessed I was nervous, so he asked me if I liked cats and then showed me a photo of a cat dressed as a pilot and said “I heard he’s flying our plane, I think we can trust him” 😭
