Cats That Deserve
Your Respect
Cats That Deserve
There’s an internet saying that goes, “when in doubt, put a cat on it.” Why the hell not? When they’re not plotting to take over your soul, cats are pretty cute and awesome.
They even take over your social media feed. People just can’t stop staring at pictures of cute animals. The good news is that besides making you feel gooey inside, recent studies show that staring at cute pictures of animals helps you focus and concentrate.
Sometimes, all you need is a cute cat picture to help you through the day. However, the cats below aren’t just any feline. They deserve your respect and they’re gonna get it, dammit.
The next time your boss reprimands you for staring at adorable animal pictures all day, just tell them it helps your productivity. Check out some cats that you need to follow and scroll away!
8. Nala the Cat
Nala is a Siamese and Tabby mix. She was abandoned in a shelter when she was five months old. She’s not yet five years old and happier than ever thanks to her new owner. She has adorably short legs and loves to post her #OOTDs. She also posts a lot of her adventures, from going grocery shopping to fitting her adorably fat body in a box.
7. Toco

Though cats have a reputation for being jerks, Toco’s actually a really cool cat (pun intended). Toco won’t take a picture unless one of her humans is in the photo too! She even sleeps beside them and babysits whenever necessary. This is one cat we won’t mind having as a feline overlord.
6. Princess Monster Truck
Princess Monster Truck was found starving and hungry, living in a bush near a couple’s home. After being rescued, Princes Monster Truck used her fame and fierce underbite to inspire the public to adopt street cats like her. Her underbite is a common condition that happens in Persian breeds, and that didn’t stop her from spreading smiles and being adorable.
5. Sam
Sam gained widespread recognition thanks to his eyebrows. He may look worried, anxious and tense, but he’s one of the most playful cats you’ll see on social media. He can make a lot of expressions thanks to those eyebrows.
Sam was abandoned by his previous owners. He then became a part of the succeeding owners’ family. They started an Instagram account for him and his fame shot up. He got featured in newspapers, magazines and online outlets as he spread smiles, thanks to his unique appearance.
How can anyone abandon this guy? Can you imagine abandoning anyone or anything with that look on their face?
4. Hamilton The Hipster Cat
Hamilton The Hipster Cat was a rescue kitty born with what could be the most hipster moustache a cat can ever be bestowed with. His favorite band is someone you’ve never heard of, loves vinyl-collecting, and is probably a fan of anything “artisanal.” Though born with a hipster moustache, Hamilton isn’t too cool for anyone and is actually one loving kitty.
Hamilton wasn’t always the cool cat. Being a feral cat on the streets, he was initially distrusting of humans. His now owner went to a behavioral specialist and took the time to get Hamilton to shower him with love and get him adjusted to his new surroundings. Hamilton and his owner are now inseparable, and there are now no traces of the fearful feline he used to be.
3. Snoopy Babe

Look at that face. You just want to hug it, squeeze it, and protect it from all the evil in the world. Snoopy is an Exotic Short Hair cat and his #OOTD game is on point. He likes playing dress-up. On some days he’s a pirate, some days he’s a reindeer, and on some days he’s just his adorable self.
2. Grumpy Cat
Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
Grumpy Cat, real name Tardar Sauce, shot to fame when someone posted her scowl on Reddit. Skeptics initially said that her pictures were photoshopped, because no cat can be THAT grumpy. They were wrong, as Tardar Sauce’s owners posted a few of her videos on Youtube which became viral. Grumpy Cat has never looked back ever since, as evidenced by the countless grumpy memes you can see on the internet.
1. Lil Bub

How can you resist that face? The answer is you can’t. If you haven’t noticed, Lil Bub is unique. She was found in a tool shed, the runt of a healthy litter. She was born with genetic anomalies including an extreme form of dwarfism. She has difficulty moving around due to her limbs being disproportionally short. Her teeth never grew, hence her tongue’s always hanging out. She also has an extra toe in all of her paws. She also has those big, bulging eyes of hers, making her look as if she’s in constant state of amazement. Her deformities didn’t stop her from living life to the fullest. She is a happy and healthy little kitty, who’s calm and comfortable with anyone and with any situation. She’s used her unique appearance and fame to become an advocate for homeless and special needs pets. She’s raised more than $200,000 for various charities. She’s even got her own documentary! Bub’s always preached about positivity and acceptance. She is an inspiration, and she deserves your respect.
