We can't stop Monday from showing up - believe us, we've tried. But while we might not have time-bending powers, we do have something better: cat memes. And not just any cat memes… these are working cat memes. Yes, cats who have metaphorically (or sometimes literally) clocked in for the daily grind. Just like you.

Sure, cats may rule the house, ignore schedules, and nap whenever they want - but when it comes to being hardworking? Nothing hits quite like a grumpy cat in an office chair or a floofy coworker napping on a keyboard. These kitties are doing their best to "work hard", and they deserve a raise in treats.

If the Monday mellows are creeping in, consider this your purrfect distraction. These hired feline funnies are reporting for duty with one clear mission: boost your mood, stat. Whether you're answering emails or just trying to make it through your morning coffee, these memes are the coworkers you actually want around.

This is why it's impawtant to get your cats microchipped, fam. You never know when someone might try to "rescue" your cat and never give them back!

We understand wanting to help every cat in need, we do, but the word "need" is purrfectly crucial here. If the cat is loved, has a home, and is well-fed, that cat doesn't need your help - it's just adventurous. There are plenty of cats that do need your help in shelters or hiding behind dumpsters are your local movie theater (that's where we found our furst cat).

A worried pawrent got a call from a vet saying that someone found their cat (thanks to the microchip), but was trying to adopt them despite knowing they had an owner. The pawrent tried to convince them to give their cat back, which then prompted tears on the other end. The kicker? She still wouldn't give the feline back. Scroll down to read the full story below!

Not all kittens are born the same, and nature can be a little harsh towards the ones born a little worse for wear. That is where we come in. When we see a kitten in need of help, it is our duty, as cat people, to do whatever we can to help it. Sometimes, it's our role to adopt the kitten and give it a second chance at life. Sometimes, it's about finding the kitten's momma. And other times, when the momma is not around and the kitten is still at a stage where a mother is necessary, it's about finding the purrfect foster mom. 

And that is exactly what Purrsephone is. This adorable cat momma not only just had three of her own little wiggly babies, but when she was presented with a kitten who needed her help, she did not hesitate. She adopted the kitten as if it was her own - and the kitten… seems completely at home.

Anyone who always keeps an eye out for stray cats in need of a home understands how challenging it can be to distinguish between a stray cat and an outdoor cat with owners. While it can be easy to do so if a cat is sporting a fashionable collar, cats are also known to be ungovernable little hooligans who are not above removing their collars the second they get the chance.

So the question remains–how do you know if the friendly cat you keep seeing around your neighborhood already has someone who looks after it?

Unfortunately, there is no straight answer to this question, so you have to live and learn, usually through trial and error. Knock on doors asking if anyone owns the fur ball currently out and about, take the feisty feline to the vet to check for a microchip, or even take the cat in and see if anyone comes to look for it.

If no one claims it, then you can move on with your plans to adopt the hissterical cat, which is exactly what the lovely resident did with her pregnant neighborhood cat and her six little kittens!
