Cats never waste an oppawtunity to impress us humans, especially when a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Pawlymics is on the line.

Surprising us at every turn, kitties and felines never cease to amaze, and the outdoorsy snowcat in this next video proves just how spectacular cats can be. Oftentimes, when we see the dainty toebeans and the adorable whiskers of a house cat, cat lovers assume that their purrfectly manicured mean mittens will never touch the filth of the outside world. Like indoor royalty, cats relish their ruling in the indoors, enjoying the plush of their ergonomic cat bed and the warmth of the fire in the fireplace. Many cats wouldn't dare set foot outside in the cold. 

But some cats, like Fitz the tuxedo kitty, are built differently. 

Normally, when a cat comes face-to-face with a snowball, they hiss and scratch at the idea, rejecting any inch of discomfort in lieu of their usual warm spot on the windowsill. However, indoor monotony, cans of tuna, and that darned laser pointer they can never seem to catch taunt the indoor cats, and some felines yearn for adventure. In the unusual case of this pawrticular cat, adventure led to athleticism, letting this black and white cat in kitty formalwear flex his prowess to his hoomans. 

Once again, impressing us with a cat's natural beauty and grace, this athlete became the star of the internet, proudly accepting a gold medal (albeit as the only contestant) in the Cat Winter Olympics. Kindly consider this viral video as his submission to the next round of icy snow games, because this cat shows us exactly how powerful, dexterous, and adorable cats can be when we let them outside to play in the snow. Even when they're bundled up in their cat ear muffs, puffer jackets, and snow boots, this cat is far from frozen, and he's heating up the competition. 

Look out, fellow Olympians, there's a new competitor on the ice! He may have four paws and a pesky curled whisker, but this kitty has earned his tuxedo time and time again out there in the snow. Of course, this is probably all to reap the benefits of a warm, cozy bed at the end of the night.

A patch of sunlight appears and somehow the cat is already there waiting for it.

When a warm patch of sunlight shows up on the floor, the cat finds it almost immediately. They could be anywhere in the house, but somehow they always notice when the light hits just right. They walk over with purpose and within minutes they're stretched out, eyes drifting closed, fully settled into the warmth.

Cats don't half-nap in sunlight. They melt into it. Paws loosen, tail still, breathing slow and even. The house keeps moving around them, but they've decided not to participate. The only task is staying inside that bright rectangle on the floor. If the light shifts, they drag themselves along with a sleepy stretch, determined to stay in range.

Watching a cat snooze like this changes the pace of the room. Conversations drop in volume. Footsteps get softer. Nobody wants to disturb the scene. It feels wrong to rush past a creature that has so clearly chosen rest.

There's no urgency in that sun patch. No schedule. No unfinished list. Just a cat stretched out in a warm spot, safe and satisfied with exactly where they are. For a little while, the day narrows down to sunlight and slow breathing, and that seems to be more than enough.

The guest status expired and permanent residence kicked in.

In October, a small cat walked into the house like he already knew the place. He was friendly, confident, and very clear about wanting food. At first it seemed likely he belonged to a neighbor, so he was allowed to visit during the day and sent back out at night. He hated that arrangement and made sure everyone knew it. A vet visit cleared things up. No microchip, not neutered, and no one responded to neighborhood posts asking if he was missing. After that, the decision was simple. Next time he visited, he stayed.

He clearly wasn't new to indoor life. He used the litter tray immediately and meowed for meals like a professional. The vet guessed he was around six months old, still full of kitten energy and curiosity. Since moving in, he's revealed himself to be a lovable idiot with a bottomless stomach. He eats like food might disappear forever and then checks to see if there's more. His curved little ears and the fluffy fur under his feet give him a slightly messy charm that fits him perfectly.

What started as a walk-in visit turned into a permanent home. He picked the door, walked through it, and decided the search was over. Now he lives there full time, loud, hungry, and completely settled.

Feral kittens are found in all sorts of places, but it is rather rare to find them in an engine bay as they were in this story that tells the tale of the stubborn kitten who refused to leave his engine home.

While it was not a particularly comfy home, you can understand how a tiny kitten would find itself intimidated by the imposing character of a hooman looming over it and trying to capture it. If we were in the kitten's smol paws we would likely have chosen to do the same thing. But as always is, that which goes up into the engine, must at some point come down. And after a decently long standoff this kitten crawled out of its engine hiding place and into the trap that had been set up to capture it.

Resulting in quite the heartwarming reunion with its kitten siblings who had already made it safely to their foster home. This serves as a brilliant reminder that you never quite know where the CDS might come at you from and what kind of cat or kitten it might bring your way. And that all you can do is try to be prepawed.

It might have seemed obvious that cats would be considered solids in the world of matter, but after viewing this collection of cats sitting in and spilling out of small containers, you too shall begin to question whether they are actually liquids.

It is the most basic of physics that we were taught in school, matter takes on three states. Solid, liquid and gas. Now we know that cats are not gas because they can sit on our chests while we sleep and almost choke us out. But what is becoming more and more obvious is that we do not know for certain that cats are solids, and while they might not be pure liquid, there is a strong argument for them being a liquid-solid hybrid.

At least that is the impression that we got while putting together this collection of If I Fits I Sits pics. And it is something that you can see our cute cat companions doing in all sort of situations. Whether it is slipping away from our grasp, squeezing through impossibly small gaps, or as in these photos, sitting in tiny containers

Usually, you'd think that a chipped cat would be returned to its family after being found out in the world. But as you'll come to find in this story some families do not want their precious fur babies back and so someone else has to step in to give them a home.

Thankfully that someone else was the person who rescued the cat in the first place, meaning that this cat child wound up in familiar and safe hands. But in the tons of other cases in which families abandon cats or cause them to run away, the poor cattos are usually left to try their luck at their local shelters, if they do not get put to sleep that is.

So it is indeed extra heartwarming that in this case we have a cat who gets given a home that most other felines could only dream off, complete with its own feline sibling who is no drama to get along with. Heck this home sounds so sweet, cozy and comfy that we would not mind taking on cat duties and filling his spot if he shall ever relinquish it, darn lucky cat is all we can say.

If they really cared about the cat, they would put its health and safety before their own needs. Any other response is nothing other than selfish.

If we could, we would adopt all the stray cats in our neighborhood, nay, the world, and bring them into our home so that they would never have to experience hunger or being cold ever again. However, we don't have millions of dollars for unlimited cat litter and food, so we can't. We adopt them when we have the space, try to find homes for them if we can't take them in, feed them, and try to give them as much love as pawssible. This way, they're more likely to adapt easily to an indoor life. We miss them when they get adopted, or run away, but we would never intentionally keep them stray just so we could enjoy their company, which is what these entitled employees want. They had a resident stray cat outside their workplace that some of them adored, but as the temperatures started dropping, one kind coworker decided to take the plunge and make her a purrmanent pet. The response from their coworkers purrfectly dumbfounded us beyond all doubt. All we can say is, they're not true cat people.

In a world full of AI images, this one made us pause. But no, she's a real kitten. 

Of course, we have seen all kinds of unique and beautiful cats in our time on the internet. We've come across cats that look like monkeys, and we've seen cats with unique spotted coats, and cats have gone viral for having extra toe beans. We've seen cats so unique that we have thought that we had seen it all. And when we first scrolled by these viral pictures of Dorito, we really did scroll by them. This is a cat that looks way too much like an AI cat. We didn't even pause to give the kitty a chance. But then we saw her go viral on another platform. And another one. So, we had to stop for a second. 

Meet Dorito, one of the coolest, most unique cats that we have ever seen, and we are not even kidding. Dorito is a survivor. These eyes are not normal for cats. They are a result of her surviving a rare medical condition. Her vision is a little impaired, but she is surrounded with love and people who care about her, so despite her vision, she is living her best life.

Losing your cat is hard. But for a cat to lose its owner could be even harder. 

It doesn't even have to be a rainbow bridge situation. Sometimes, life just happens. For this cat, his loving elderly owner, who loved him with her whole heart, who took care of him, giving him everything he could ever need, simply couldn't take care of him any longer. She didn't abandon her cat. She had to move to an assisted home, and he, sadly, couldn't come with her. She did the best that she could, leaving him to the new residents in her old home, people who had cats, understood cats, who should, by all accounts, have been good to her cat. Except that they weren't. 

These new owners neglected the cat right away. It barely took a few days before they decided that he couldn't be in their - his - home full-time. They left the cat out in freezing temperatures, and he would cry for help, and "nobody cares at all". That's what their neighbor said. Except that wasn't entirely true. Because the neighbor cared. The neighbor, who knew about the situation, and who wanted to do something about it actually went and did it.

Ahhh, love is in the air, my friends! Can you smell it? It's kind of a mix of roses and chocolate and really gigantic cupcakes:

By Cakes by M3

 Mmmm. Lovely.

 

Or, if you prefer more traditional red roses:

By Nicky Grant

 Actually, I guess these aren't quite traditional, since they're made of sugar. That makes them superior to real roses, though, because they'll never wilt, they don't have thorns, and, of course, they're the best kind to carry in your teeth while doing the Tango. (NOMZ)

Plus, look at the shine on that chocolate! Wowza!

 

Speaking of chocolate, doesn't it look great with baby pink?

By Sarah Louise Cakes

And all that piping! Sarah has a seriously steady hand.

 

This cutie-pie first birthday cake may have the most perfect edible bow EVER:

By Cakes by Dusty

I can't decide which I want to do more: wear it in my hair or eat it. :D

 

But if a whole cake is too much for you, then how about a few elegantly iced cookies?

By My Little Bakery

Every time I look at this, I pick a new favorite. First it was the cross-stiched heart with the lace trim. Then the swirly heart on the lower left. But now I just spotted the brush embroidery on that winged heart back there, ooh! And look at the little heart next to it with the intricate scrolly bits!

 

Now here's a funky cool modern design:

By Choice Cakes

 The structure of this cake fascinates me, and the lilies are totally playing tricks on my eyes: are the ones on the cakes painted or 3D? The center stamen *look* 3D, but I can't tell!

 

This is just about the sweetest, cheeriest bouquet you could ever ask for:

By Crowning Cakes

I would hang a picture of this cake on my wall in a fun scrolly picture frame just so I can stare at it and smile all day. It's that cheerful.

 

And, what's this? ANOTHER perfect bow?

By macesicnada

WOW. And I'm digging all the scrolly details inside the hearts - and those little heart buttons! Ack! SO CUTE.

 

And look at this red, white, and black beauty:

By Torte di nadia

So many great techniques here: the lace trim, the tufted quilting, the dripping streamers...!! I don't just love this cake; I am IN LOVE with this cake.

 

And I'm over the moon for this fabulous design featuring Cupid's bow and arrow:

By Precious Taarten

I suddenly want to see Katniss Everdeen dressed up as Cupid. Hee! Except, wait...Cupid doesn't wear anything, does he? Whoah, that got awkward fast. NEVER MIND.

 

And finally, I think it's only fitting to end with a LOVE-themed wedding cake, don't you?

By nice icing

SO SWEET. From the old-style typography to the blue birds to the double heart topper to those colors, I am completely smitten!

Hope you guys are, too - if only with this cakes! - and that you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

*****

P.S. Anyone want to bring vintage style pins back? Because this entire set of 7 lovelies is only $12:

7 Pc Women's Brooch Set

OooOOOooh. I think the owl is my favorite. And the peacock. And the dragonfly.

If there is one thing that we need right now, it is a carefully curated, steady supply of cat memes. 

We don't know if you have noticed, but things are pretty crazy out there right meow. Everywhere you look, there is drama, there is confusion, there are just- things that we don't want to see. You log onto any social media platform, and you are bombarded with these things, forced to see them whether you want to or not. It's a real problem. Or so you would think. Because this problem actually has a very simple solution. Don't. Don't log onto these social media platforms when you're not feeling ready. Just turn on a website like ICHC and find all the hilarious cat memes that you are looking for. 

Because really, the one thing that we actually want to find on social media platforms are funny cat memes. It's unfortunate that they are so heavily surrounded by all the other things. But that's true only for us. We have to sift through all the madness to find the purrfect cat memes that we are looking for. You… all that you have to do is come here, and you will find all the uplifting, pawsitive and silly memes that you could ever need, free of everything else.

A ten-year friendship started with a stray who refused to take no for an answer. 

Almost ten years ago, a tiny stray cat basically adopted her human first. Sabriel started showing up every evening, skinny and impossibly small, the kind of little creature you can't stop worrying about. A few days later her rescuer appeared and asked if anyone wanted to adopt a cat. It turned out to be the same cat who'd been visiting. At that point it felt less like a decision and more like Sabriel had already filed the paperwork herself.

Her rescuer explained that Sabriel and her kittens had come from a bad situation. The kittens had homes, but mama cat was stuck living outside. One rainy afternoon made everything clear. Seeing her curled up in straw, cold and trying to stay dry, was enough to settle it. Sabriel came home and started her next chapter.

Since then she's been there for every version of life that followed. New homes, new jobs, changing routines, and the quiet growing pains that come with time. Through all of it, she stayed steady. The tiny stray who once showed up hungry turned into a constant source of comfort, padding around like she'd always belonged there. Nearly a decade later she's older, healthy, and still going strong, proof that sometimes the best family members are the ones who choose you first.

The Valentine's Day mascot is officially a cat with a heart on its fur.

Some cats look like they came predecorated for Valentine's Day. A tiny heart tucked into their fur feels less like a coincidence and more like intentional design. The second you notice it, the cat stops being a regular cat and becomes a walking holiday decoration. Every cuddle suddenly feels themed. Every nap looks staged for a Valentine photo shoot.

Those heart markings turn normal moments into something extra soft. A cat curling up beside you is already comforting, but when that little heart patch presses against your arm, it feels like the holiday signed off on the moment. They have no idea they're carrying built-in Valentine branding. They're just there to nap and purr, completely unaware they are representing the entire aesthetic.

Cats like that don't need costumes or props. They are already dressed for the occasion. While people buy cards and flowers, these cats are walking around with permanent decorations stitched into their coats. They exist in a constant state of festive readiness.

At that point it feels obvious they are the unofficial mascots of Valentine's Day. No training required. No ceremony needed. Just a sleepy cat with a tiny heart patch sitting there, doing nothing, and somehow embodying the whole holiday better than anything else in the room.

GILES: Oh, there you are.
JENNY: There who is?
GILES: Our new friend Spike. He's known as 'William the Bloody'. Earned his nickname by torturing his victims with railroad spikes. Very pleasant. Well, here's some good news: he's barely two hundred. He's not even as old as Angel is. (frowns) Oh.
XANDER: That's a bad look, right?
GILES: I think your suggestion of running away this Saturday might've been a good one. Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century, and... he's killed them both.

Cat's Cradle isn't just a satirical novel by Kurt Vonnegut or a string game – it's also a list of hissterical cat memes! 

Cats are everywhere and everything – from the name of a famous novel, a finger game of string shapes, to an internet sensation. Cat's Cradle as a novel was first published in 1963. It's sort of a science fiction anthem of classic literature, where dark humor and philosophy blend with truth, technology, and meaning, all before the world of artificial intelligence. The harsh themes juxtapose the light tone of the detached narrator. People in the novel are careless, easily distracted, and prone to self-deception. Apocalypse can arrive alongside absurdity. And just like the novel's absurdity, the list of absurd cat memes below mirrors that lightness, silliness, and pawsitivity in spite of everything going on in the world. 

Feeling down and out isn't a problem when you have the privilege of cat memes to cheer you right back up. Whether you're out of a breakup, fired from your job, or simply feeling the cold winter blues, you have every right to try and lift those shaken spirits with the spirit of cat memes. Let their innocence guide you, their joy teach you, and their catness give you a different purrspective on life.

Cats and robots don't really get along – except when the cat sits on top of it! 

This cat saw a family he wanted, and he went for it. This cat was snooping around the family since before Christmas. They took him in, TNR'd him, and to their surprise he came back. He wandered around looking for their attention, and on Christmas day they finally took him in. Now that he's a steady member of their home, they decided to buy him lots of toys. Seeing him playing around with catnip, stuffed animals, and even robot cleaners. It's heartwarming to see that the cat got his furrever home.

If ever you need to prove to a dog lover that cats can easily put a dog in their place, and heck, even manipulate them into doing their bidding, then look no further than this scandalous story.

For us cat lovers, it is not a massive surprise to hear that another cat has managed to convince a dog into doing their evil bidding for them. It is part and parcel of the contract that we sign when we sign up to love cats for life lest we wish to feel the sharp point of their claws around our necks.

But what is especially surprising about the cat from this story is that they have managed to turn a multi-pound pup who usually strikes fear into the hearts of those who wrong him, into a puddle of fur that can be manipulated with the twist of a paw. We are talking about true evil genius cat smarts, and we are not sure how we feel about it… what if they use their powers against us hoomans one day… what if they already have and we just do not now it, like this dog…

We waltz into this Valentine's Day with full-on feline cattitude, and we don't care what others think.

It's not that we don't have any special humans to celebrate this Valentine's Day with. It's that we defy this day with the cattitude of an orange cat operating on the force of a single brain cell. We defy the sickeningly sweet smooching couples everywhere we go. We defy the outrageous prices of every product that a design team slapped a heart on and decided it's a "Valentine's Day special". We defy the notion that this is not a regular day, like any other day of the week. And this defiance requires maximum cattitude energy.

If you feel the same, don't worry about today - we got you. We have everything prepurred. And by that, we mean that we have all the cattitude pixelated and ready to be shipped to fellow feline fans worldwide. We have the stuff. We have the feline funnies filled with cattitude, with cat sass, with the LOLs and MEOWs a cat person might need to survive the day - and especially this specific one. So grab your grumpy cat, maybe your Valentine's-defying human partner, and enjoy the clawmedy presented below. No romance required.
