Cats are popular for a clear reason. They're cute, make great pets, and manage to irritate us in ways we never knew possible. We love them, but they probably don't love us a whole lot, and while we spend hundreds of dollars buying them toys, they'll always prefer to play in the box. It's like they know exactly how to annoy us, and they choose the funniest possible ways to do it. But don't confuse this for bitterness from a frustrated cat owner; the rewards of having a cat far outweigh the many, many downsides.

You can joke about these downsides, and every cat owner will understand exactly what you're talking about. It doesn't matter if your cat destroyed half your carpet this morning or not, because these memes are relevant for any cat owner, regardless of the relationship you have with your pet. We know you love them anyway, just like the rest of us. Here are Reddit's most entertaining memes for cat owners.
