We know it’s Monday, but when cats are involved in the workweek, the weekend is ever so slightly closer than it actually is.

When Monday starts, it’s automatically all doom and gloom. But as cat lovers, we refuse to let the beginning of a workweek dictate how we pass it until the weekend comes. The weekend is sacred cat time, but there’s no reason why the middle of the week won’t serve the same purpose. The midweek can still be full of cat bliss and meowing joy, even when you leave for the office every morning while your cat, sadly, stays behind. We all wish we could bring our cats with us everywhere, like the purrfect leash-trained cats you see online, but we know most of them will not tolerate it. So what we have is a bunch of cat memes we can carry with us in our pockets everywhere we go – even work.

So that’s exactly what we’re bringing here this Monday! A bunch of cat memes to get very cat lovers through the week, and right into the feeling of the weekend. And just like that, the week doesn’t seem so bad, and Monday isn’t so awful anymore. The magic of cats is real, even in meme form.
