Happy morning, cat people! And yes, we do remember that this is a Monday, but that does not mean that we can't have the most ameowzing day in the world. All we need is simply to start this day on the right paw, full of cattitude and good vibes. And here, at ICHC, we have one guaranteed way of making that happen, and that is, of course, starting our Monday mornings with a whole bunch of wholesome cat memes.

In fact, we bring you a collection of adorable, pure, uplifting cat memes like these every single week. Not only because we want your Monday mornings to be pawfect, but because we want ours to be as well. And there is nothing out there that makes us smile quite as brightly and quickly as a bunch of cats being their adorable selves in meme form. Enjoy this, friends, and may you all have the most purrfect week ahead.

We've all heard of Signed, Sealed, Delivered, but what about Illegally Signed, Sealed, Demolished?

Now that's a plot twist worth talking about.

When renting an apartment, most of us try to follow the basic rules. We take care of the space, pay rent on time, and act respectfully, especially if we hope to get our security deposit back at the end of the lease. Unless something unexpected happens, like running off to a remote island to avoid paying rent, or accidentally leaving candles burning overnight.

But what if a tenant decides to leave early and makes an effort to find a subletter, only to discover that the apartment has been illegally divided and the authorities are planning to demolish their room?

Suddenly, there is no room to sublet.

In a situation like that, who should be held responsible? If the tenant is unable to find a subletter because the space no longer exists, is it reasonable to expect them to lose their deposit to cover the remaining rent, even when the issue is completely out of their control?

Roommate arrangements operate on the sensible yet fragile assumption that adults will continue acting like adults even when nobody's watching, which explains why so many shared living situations end with someone discovering they've been unknowingly subsidizing another person's commitment issues.

The mathematics of financial responsibility becomes fascinating when one party decides bills are optional suggestions rather than binding obligations

Every employee needs to take a day for themselves at some point, but some folks are better at coming up with excuses than others. It's almost like an inherited gene that some individuals are born with, while others simply cannot compete. Back in middle school, some students would always be able to get away with their personal variation of "my dog ate my homework," and they successfully managed to get out of trouble every single time. However, if I ever tried that, being the hopeless rule follower that I always was and still am, it would be way too obvious that I was lying. 

That's why I have some sympathy for a few of these employees, who were so overworked and exhausted that they needed to take a day off. However, when they tried to explain their reasons for taking sick days, it always came across as if they were grasping at straws. I wish I could offer tips and tricks for how to deliver an effective white lie, but like I said, I just wasn't born with that trait. Keep scrolling below for these amusing stories!

When it comes to comparing noises that wake you up in the morning, we like to picture a scale and rate each noise from 'least annoying' to 'most annoying'. Birds chirping, for example, is a noise that sometimes wakes you up, but on the scale, we would not consider their singing to be particularly unpleasant; some would even say it is quite a nice sound to wake up to.

Drilling, on the other hand, is up there with the 'most annoying' noises that can wake you up in the morning. Whether it is construction work on the street, or an entitled neighbor who thinks it's valid to start putting holes in their walls at 7 AM. Waking up to that sound is easily something that can drive someone to move as far away as possible.

The sound of someone else's spring cleaning–moving furniture around, vacuuming, and playing loud music is also definitely up there on the scale. As teens, we were often woken up to these sounds by our mothers obnoxiously cleaning the house, and now that we are adults, we must often face the same from our neighbors.

Rise and shine, pawdorable people!

Even though we are in the height of summer, as adults, most of us don't really get to enjoy the summer vacation. Sure, some of us may take a few days off, here and there, maybe even travel someplace with a beach and a pool, but that is nothing compared to the 104 days of summer vacation we used to have as kids.

That said, as adults, we learn to find our wins where we can and use the time we do get outside of work to the best of our abilities. For some people, that time is spent during the weekends, chilling at the beach or having a picnic at the park. For others, those who were never that excited about summer in the first place, their time off is spent at home, with a nice homemade lemonade, a book, and a cat on their lap.

However you like to spend your free summer time, we recommend bringing some good entertainment with you, which includes this hissterical collection of funny cat memes to keep fresh in your fridge. Go ahead and scroll down to enjoy this collection, and we hope you have fun with your summery days, no matter how you choose to spend them!

Orange cats hold a special place in our hearts, feline fam. How they have managed to survive this long is nothing short of a meowracle. We don't know of any other animal that thrives in this current world with one rotating brain cell for all of them. Purrhaps it's their chaotic curiosity that adds to their elusiveness in this arena, or purrhaps they just have history on their side when it comes to survival. Either way, they hold a lot of space in our memories, and also in our camera rolls.

And this is true because of one simple fact - they are so photographable. They are the derpiest cats in the whole universe, and it would be a crime for us not to memorialize their silliest meowments. So here we are, sharing pictures of them engaging in activities that are only accessible to singular brain celled organisms, so that they will be remembered until the next generation, and so on, and so forth. It's not just hissterical, it's history.

The thing about returning big cats back into the wild is that it is… not always that simple. Some cats have a chance, while others don't. Lions can be born with rare disorders that stop them from being able to care for themselves in the wild. Bobcats can get injured and lose their instincts, leaving them unable to fend for themselves out in the big world. Pumas can be born with dwarfism, leaving them not only unfit to be released but even unfit to be with other pumas in the zoo. 

And some big cats, like two of the leopard cubs in this video, are not born with a condition and injured. They… simply like humans too much. Wild cats need to fear humans to be able to live in the wild. They need those instincts to protect themselves. And one of the ways that you can help them regain those lost instincts is by pairing them with wild cubs who still have the instincts. That's what the caretakers thought they were doing when they brought in that second rescued leopard cub, except… that one liked humans even more. So, they brought in a third…

Most office lunchrooms rely on and operate on a silent social contract. You clean what you use; you don't ruin appliances (especially if they're ones someone brought from home). It's quite reminiscent of what it's like to share a living space with roommates, and in keeping with that, there are always going to be those who refuse to do their part. Going to comical levels in order to resist lifting a finger or shouldering any responsibility. 

We had a kitchen in the lunch room of a previous job, a store where I managed. There was a dishwasher that everyone could use to wash the dishes that they used for their lunch. The problem was that the very presence of that dishwasher dispersed the ownership and responsibility of cleaning one's dishes enough to the point where people stopped cleaning their dishes altogether. Even if dishes ended up in the dishwasher, I found myself consistently the only one running and emptying it. Only a few of us ever saw the process through and ensured that our dish got cleaned and put away.

After many reminders and conversations, I simply taped the dishwasher up and declared that everyone had to wash, dry, and put away their dishes immediately after finishing with them. From that point on, there was never a problem with dishes or the kitchen area being clean.

In this whisker-raising roommate drama, one woman thought she was just gaining a best friend and a chill home, not a territorial cat causing chaos. Her own tiny queen (and ESA) had ruled the roost peacefully with her beloved pitbull bestie for a year. When her new roomie adopted a massive rescue cat, the deal was clear: he'd stay upstairs, far from her cat.

Of course, that promise went poof. The new cat strutted into the shared spaces, claimed the common areas, and left the original cat confined and stressed. After one too many boundary breaches, she made the heartbreaking call to send her cat to live with her grandparents for the year just to keep her safe. Now the dog's scared, the pawrent is devastated, and her friend seems pawfully unbothered.

Since the roommate isn't sticking to the agreement, this pawrent is now considering telling the landlord to enforce the lease's two-pet limit which would mean the new cat has to go. Not the cattiness she wanted, but maybe the only way to claw things back to normal.

No matter how much you love your feline fur babies sometimes, or more specifically after they have trashed your home, brought home their nightly hunting prize, and or left a little surprise for you far away from the litter box, it can be tough to hold onto the love you feel for them.

And we get it, they can be a handful. And seeing as Cautrday rolled through town yesterday, you are likely at the point of considering whether your cat child would make it as an outdoor cat. Well, wait a second and take a breath, because just for you, we made this list of inpsawrational cat memes to help you remember the wonder, the joy and the heartwarming moments that come with having a bundle of meows in your home. So sit back, grab your cat child if they have calmed down, and settle into this marvelous meme journey.

When your job is to keep track of data and numbers for your department, there's nothing worse than realizing the company isn't doing as well as everyone hopes. Everyone wants the numbers to look good. After all, good numbers mean praise from higher-ups, possible career boosts, and maybe even bonuses. But the truth is, it doesn't always go that way. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and report facts that don't paint your team in the best light.

It can be tempting, especially when there's pressure from above, to fudge the numbers just a little. Make the results look a bit better, cover up some losses, or smooth over a rough quarter. But falsifying reports is a dangerous game. It puts your integrity on the line, risks your job, and can backfire on the entire company. Like it did in this story.

It's remarkable how many people do not know how to be a decent guest. It doesn't matter if you are an old friend, a parent, an extended family member, etc. If you are crashing at someone's place and they are generous enough to open up their home for you, don't start rocking the boat. It turns out that despite the existence of better judgment, some people just can't help themselves.

Sure, not everyone knows how to be a great host, either, but you get what you get and you can't get upset. If you do get upset about how uncomfortable the couch is or how loud the neighbors are, then you could always just get a hotel. If that's not feasible, then you're not exactly in the position to complain. After all, it's not your space, is it?

Unfortunately, too many folks like to make the environments they are in suitable for them, regardless of whether or not they are entitled to doing so. Keep scrolling below for this collection of ungrateful house guest stories!
