Daniel also noted that not all cats want to have a feline friend. "One thing that many people don’t realize about cats is that they don’t need (or particularly like) other cats. They usually prefer to have their own territory all to themselves so, if you think you might want more than one cat, it’s better to get siblings or an already bonded pair instead of introducing a second cat later on," he explained.
He also noted that all new cat owners should be prepared to fall hopelessly in love with their pet. "From the first head bump, purr or lap snuggle, you will be absolutely smitten with your new kitty," Daniel shared. "You won’t know how you ever lived without them!"
Finally, Daniel added, "It’s great to see that the internet and the world is full of cat lovers and the community is growing more and more each day. However, what we need more are people who are advocating for good cat welfare, particularly online. People engaging should ensure they aren’t sharing content where the cat is distressed, scared or in conflict with other cats."
We also got in touch with certified cat behavior consultants and co-founders of Cat Behavior Alliance, Rita Reimers and Linda Hall, to hear their thoughts on memes we can send our cats. First, we wanted to know about some of the funniest behavior they've observed in their own kitties.
"I had a cat that liked to hide behind a door and jump out at anyone that went by; other cats, people, it didn't matter," Rita shared. "One of Linda's daughter Nikki's cats was a grumpy orange cat named Tiger who did not like other people. When Nikki was moving, 4 large men who were trying to move the bed were scared of Tiger because he was hissing at them and would not let them touch the bed."
As far as whether or not cats have a sense of humor, Rita says, "I think cats are very playful, and it's in their nature to romp and play and tease other cats and people. I do think they know they are being funny."
The cat expert also revealed which memes she thinks kitties would enjoy. "Any meme where a dog looks silly and foolish would probably delight a cat," Rita told Bored Panda.
And if you couldn't tell from this list already, Rita added, "Cats are very social creatures who crave to be where we are and join in the fun!"
