The lower section is labeled 'NAUGHTY CAT OF THE WEEK' and features a printed card with a photo of a white cat with dark facial markings named Popsicle, with text noting he stole treats from his blind roommate cat named Daniel.

This image features a printed 'missing cat' poster that subverts the traditional purpose of such notices. At the top, bold text reads **MISSING CAT**, paired with a photo of a relaxed black-and-white domestic cat lying on a carpeted floor, holding a pink toy and looking directly at the camera. Below the photo, a list of bullet points delivers the humorous twist: 1. i miss my cat 2. he's not gone or anything -- just at home 3. but im here at uni 4. enjoy this picture of him The joke relies on subverting the expectation of a missing pet poster: instead of asking for help locating a lost animal, it's a lighthearted, relatable expression of a university student's homesickness for their pet, using the formal, urgent structure of a missing poster for comedic, wholesome effect.

The image features a black and white tuxedo cat standing inside a glass-enclosed cat enclosure, staring directly at the camera with a stern, unapologetic deadpan expression. Above the cat, a printed sign parodying common workplace safety record signs reads "It has been 3 day(s) since I smacked someone for no reason." The background of the enclosure includes cat shelves, blankets, and cat beds. The humor comes from applying the "days since last incident" tracking format typically used for workplace safety to the common, relatable stereotype of domestic cats attacking their owners or other animals without obvious provocation, framing the cat's aggressive behavior as a workplace-style safety hazard that is being tracked.

This is a two-panel collage meme. The left panel displays three printed signs taped to a glass door, providing humorous, clarifying details about a very large black-and-white cat named Fat Fred: it confirms he is male (not pregnant), weighs 28 pounds, is on an ineffective diet, loves human interaction (allowing visitors to pet him, sitting on small children, and enjoying hip scratches), and notes he is not available for adoption though smaller cats are. A handwritten Spanish note reading "El gato más gordo. Fat Fred" (translating to "The fattest cat. Fat Fred") is taped above the signs. The right panel shows Fat Fred lounging calmly on a tiny striped beach chair with a matching umbrella, in an office-like space with cardboard boxes in the background, emphasizing his large size against the small furniture. The meme has a wholesome, lighthearted tone focused on Fred's endearing personality and extreme chonky build.

This meme is a two-part collage: 1. The top section shows a sign posted on a library window with repeated text warning against letting a cat named Max inside, noting he is nice but unwanted by both his owner and library staff, even though he wants to enter. 2. The bottom section features a real orange-and-white cat named Max, wearing a collar with his name tag, sitting outside and looking at the camera with an innocent, pleading expression. The wholesome humor comes from the contrast between the strict, formal sign and Max's cute, earnest appearance, framing him as a sympathetic, lovable cat who just wants access to the library despite being unwelcome.

A two-panel before-and-after meme featuring a rescued cat. The top panel shows a dirty, tired cat lying on a car dashboard with a rainy window in the background, appearing unkempt and weary. The bottom panel shows the same cat transformed: clean, healthy, and relaxed, resting comfortably in a soft cat bed. Above the panels is a text description explaining the rescue: finding a ~7-month-old friendly cat covered in grime near a shop, deciding to bring it home to live a better life.

This is a two-panel viral image showing a real stray orange cat that was rescued and officially hired by a Mexican company. The left panel shows the orange tabby cat sitting at an office desk, wearing a custom employee ID badge that features the cat's own photo edited onto a suited body. The right panel shows a close-up of the full ID card, which names the cat 'Ing. Miauricio' with the job title 'Gerente de Apoyo Emocional' (translated to Manager of Emotional Support). Large text at the bottom explains the story: the company rescued the stray cat, hired him, and gave him the role of Director of Emotional Support. The name Miauricio is a pun, replacing the start of the common human name 'Mauricio' with 'Miau', the Spanish word for a cat's meow.

This wholesome meme features a top text caption above a candid photograph of five small shelter kittens surrounding a grey leather handbag placed against a light blue cinder block wall on tan carpet.

This meme is a two-panel collage paired with explanatory text at the top. The top text states that a cat in Thailand that repeatedly bit police officers was taken to a police station, had a formal mugshot taken, its paw prints recorded, and was officially classified as a repeat offender. The left panel shows a silver tabby cat being held in the arms of a uniformed Thai police officer inside what appears to be a police service area, with a partial "STOP SERVICE" sign visible in the background. The right panel is the cat's official booking mugshot, showing the cat sitting in front of a hand-drawn height chart marked with numbers 10, 15, and 20, with Thai text written at the top of the chart. The cat has wide, neutral eyes facing directly at the camera in both panels. The humor comes from the absurdity of applying formal human criminal justice booking procedures to a small domestic cat, framing the pet as a dangerous, hardened criminal.

The image features a tabby cat with wide, curious, wide-eyed expression wearing a red formal necktie, sitting underneath a wooden kitchen sink cabinet. A custom name plate affixed to the cabinet door reads "Arnold Hewitt, Regional Manager". Overlaid text on the image states: "My cat likes to hang out under the kitchen sink, so we got him a name tag." The humor comes from the absurd, endearing choice to give the family cat a formal corporate job title as a playful "name tag" for his favorite resting spot, treating the pet as if he is an official member of household staff.

This image shows a real black cat hiding inside an empty Amazon cardboard shipping box, with only its head peeking over the top edge of the box looking out at the viewer. A humorous caption on the side of the box is circled with a blue highlight, that reads: "If you think you're excited, wait 'til your cat sees this box." The meme jokes about the universal well-known behavior of domestic cats being far more interested and excited about empty cardboard boxes than the actual product that was shipped inside the box, a common experience shared by most cat owners. The shipping label on the top of the box also has a small blue highlight that resembles an Among Us character positioned just above the cat.
