icanhascheezburger_feedThere's nothing quite like the comforting presence of a cat. Whether they're curled up beside you, loafing at the end of the bed, or slowly blinking at you from across the room - cats have this magical ability to calm our chaotic hooman hearts. Their soft purrs are basically a soothing soundtrack to whatever kind of day you're having.
Cat mamas and papas know: it's not just about being owned by a feline (yes, they own you). It's about the warmth, the snuggles, the gentle headbutts, and even the judgmental glares - they all somehow make everything feel a little better.
Now, imagine this: your cat is cozily curled up on your lap, the world outside can wait, and you're scrolling through the most wholesome, purr-inducing, heartwarming cat memes the internet has to offer. That, right there, is peak comfort. So if today's been a little ruff (sorry, wrong species), these delightful cat memes are here to wrap you in a fluffy blanket of feline love.

icanhascheezburger_feedGooood meorwning, cat people! And it is a good morning. The sun is shining, we don't have to go to work, and things just… seem brighter somehow. And we want to make the best out of this feeling. We want to make it last - as long as pawssible. We want our whole week full of this much pawsitivity. So, we are making it our mission to fill this day with as many good vibes as possible, so that they spill over into the week. And the first step in that process is, of course, starting the morning with a whole bunch of silly cat memes.
Now, these are not just any funny cat memes, friends. Like we do every single week, today, we bring you the best of the best of cat twitter, because one thing about that platform that is not going to change it how iconic cat twitter is, and our job is to save you the time and bring you only the best right here.

icanhascheezburger_feedGood morning, friends! And indeed, it is a good one. Because we said so. Because we are about to make it so. Because the fact that we had a sleepless night and an early morning and a very long week overall does not mean that we cannot make the best out of every minute. Even if you're awake right now, at 3AM, slowly losing your mind, that does not mean that you cannot turn that frown upside down. It simply means that you need a couple of silly cat memes to help you out.
Because funny cat memes fix everything. We mean that. Whether in the middle of the night, early in the morning, or in the middle of a very long work day, taking a minute to scroll through some hissterical cat memes is the best thing that you can do for yourself. It is good for your soul to look at something that is guaranteed to make you smile at least once a day.

icanhascheezburger_feedWhen the weekend rolls around, cats flip their internal "Do Not Disturb" switch like pros and we're all just a little bit jealous. These furry masters of chill go full-on DND mode, meaning "Definitely Not Doing anything except napping." They snooze with the kind of dedication that would put even the best weekend binge-watchers to shame.
Try to get their attention, and you'll get the classic slow blink or the tail flick. Basically, the feline way of saying, "Back off, hooman. This is my weekend nap marathon." They're not interested in playtime, zoomies, or being your personal therapist. Nope, they just want uninterrupted snooze sessions, the kind of deep, cozy sleep that recharges their nine lives for the week ahead.
Honestly, isn't that how we all want to spend our weekends? No calls, no meetings, just pure, blissful rest. So when your cat goes into weekend DND mode, take a hint: it's time to paws, relax, and embrace your inner cat nap champion. Because sometimes, the best weekend plan is no plan at all. Just lots of sleep and zero disturbances.

icanhascheezburger_feedSome cats are couch potatoes, and others are full-blown TV addicts. Whether it's a bird documentary, a fish tank livestream, or your favorite drama, these curious kitties are hooked and they're not shy about it. One moment they're loafing quietly, the next they're locked in on the screen like it's the Pawramount Network.
You'll catch them perched like little critics, tails flicking, eyes wide, tracking every squirrel, bird, or suspicious-looking villain. Some even paw at the screen, convinced they can catch whatever's moving. And if the TV isn't on? Expect judgmental glares and a few well-timed meows until the nightly program returns.
Of course, not every cat is into the action. Some are in it for the ambiance. A glowing box to nap beside while pretending they aren't secretly following the plot of Meow in the City. But for those who are obsessed? They're the true binge-watchers, watching 12 hours straight without blinking. Take that, Netflix.
So if your remote's gone missing or your TV has tiny nose smudges all over it… just know your feline film critic has entered their entertainment era.

icanhascheezburger_feedRescuing a kitten can be somewhat of a double-edged sword. Now before we get into that we want to preface that statement with the fact that all animals deserve to live and be happy and rescued if they need it. But when you rescue a kitten, you without meaning to will go from having a helpless soul who needs to be fed, burped and cleaned constantly, to having a frenetic feline roaming your house, assuming they own every single inch.
And it will happen in the blink of an eye, one morning you will wake up, and your house will be upside down, with a cat looking at you curiously from amongst the mess, as though to say "Wow, how did all this happen? I'm just as shocked as you, I was sleeping over there and then suddenly this". Which is pretty much what happened to the hooman who bravely rescued a kitten from the side of the road.
icanhascheezburger_feedWelcome, loyal subjects of the Feline Empire. If you're here, it means you've accepted your royal duties as a devoted servant to your cat meownarch. You may pay the rent, but let's be honest, your cat owns the house. Every windowsill is their throne. Every cardboard box is their private carriage. And every 3 AM zoomies are a royal wake-up call.
You didn't choose the cat servant life - the Cat Distribution System chose it for you. And now, your life revolves around offering fancy feasts, opening and closing doors on command, and providing daily belly rubs only when requested and never when offered.
But you know what? We serve with purride. Because when our glorious feline rulers grace us with a head boop or a cozy nap on our lap, we melt into grateful puddles of joy. So take a moment from scrubbing the royal litter box and enjoy this giggle-worthy collection of cat memes honoring the sacred art of cat servitude.

otw_news_feedThe Policy & Abuse committee (PAC) is responsible for enforcing the AO3 Terms of Service (TOS). To help users better understand the TOS, we’re posting a weekly spotlight series about the TOS and our policies. We’ll also be reading comments and answering questions on this and our other spotlight posts.
For our last post in this series, we’ll be talking about our non-commercialization policy. AO3 doesn’t allow users to engage in commercial promotion of any type, which includes everything from paywalls to tip jars, and quite a lot in between. In this post, we’ll discuss why AO3 doesn’t allow commercialization, what kinds of activities are considered to be commercial promotion, and what to do if you see commercial promotion on AO3.
Please do not start searching for works to report after reading this post. We know that commercial promotion frequently appears on AO3. However, when people deliberately search for works to report, we end up getting a lot of duplicate tickets about works that have already been reported. Every ticket we receive is reviewed by a PAC volunteer, so we only need one report in order to investigate an issue. We know it seems like sites only respond to mass reports, but on AO3, duplicate and mass reports increase the time it takes our volunteers to investigate.
Commercial promotion covers all references or links to commercial sites, monetized features of non-commercial sites, and anything else that makes it clear someone is asking for or has received financial contributions.
On AO3, you can’t encourage anyone to give other people money, or talk about anyone having given people money in the past. This applies whether you are promoting yourself or a friend, or even if you’re collecting donations for other people or causes. If there is money changing hands, then it likely violates AO3’s TOS.
AO3 was created and is managed by the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), a nonprofit organization committed to the defense and protection of fanworks from commercial exploitation and legal challenges. The OTW is entirely staffed by unpaid volunteers, and AO3 is itself entirely non-commercial. No one involved in AO3’s creation or management profits from it. The site is made available free of charge to all fans who wish to share their works with other fans and fan communities.
We understand that many people today choose to monetize their creative activities. However, in order to keep AO3 as the non-commercial space it was designed to be, users are not permitted to engage in any commercial activity on the site.
When you use AO3, you agree to follow our Terms of Service, which includes the non-commercialization policy. This applies to all parts of the site, whether you’re posting a work based on an existing source or creating content entirely original to you.
Real-world commercialization is banned everywhere on AO3. This includes:
It’s okay for fictional characters in fanworks to talk about fictional monetization. For example, it’s fine if a character has a fictional OnlyFans or Patreon within the story, as long as that commercial reference doesn’t direct the reader to a real-world OnlyFans or Patreon account for the work creator or anyone else.
There is a wide variety of things that are not allowed under AO3’s non-commercialization rules.
Links or references to any commercial site or service. A “commercial site” is any site whose primary purpose is to facilitate the transfer of money. This includes, but is not limited to:
Links or references to the monetized features of non-commercial sites. This covers any site that has features you can enable or opt-in to earn revenue, but the primary purpose of the site is social media, sharing artwork, or anything else that isn’t inherently payment-focused. This includes, but is not limited to:
Previews and other promotions for paid content. This covers situations like excerpts or teasers shared in an attempt to entice people to purchase a book or become a paying subscriber. It also includes references to paywalled or early-access content (e.g. “Patreon subscribers get the new chapter one week early before I post it on AO3”).
Advertising content or services involving an exchange of money, such as buying merchandise, collecting donations, offering paid commissions, or selling published works.
Any other language which one might interpret as requesting or having requested financial contributions, whether for yourself or others. This covers indirect references, euphemisms, or other language intended to get around the TOS. Some examples of this include:
Commercial activity is not permitted on AO3. It doesn’t matter if you’re promoting yourself or a friend, or even if you’re collecting donations for other people or causes.
This means that if you paid an artist to create artwork for your fanfic, you’re not allowed to mention that they have a Patreon or use any other language that suggests people should also commission or donate to them. If you like a book by a particular author, you are certainly welcome to gush about what a great book it is, but you can’t link to the Amazon page where it’s for sale or encourage others to buy it.
As mentioned above, a commercial site is a platform that is first and foremost intended to facilitate the exchange of money. For example, while you can use Ko-Fi as a blog, the site’s primary purpose is to encourage people to give each other money. Ko-Fi’s social features are secondary to its purpose as a donation and paid membership platform. This means you cannot link to or mention your or anyone else’s actual Ko-Fi on AO3 whatsoever.
An example of a non-commercial site that has monetization features is DeviantArt, an art gallery that is mainly intended as a place to share artworks. DeviantArt also allows its users to opt-in to additional monetization features, such as the DeviantArt Shop. Because DeviantArt’s paid features are both optional and not the primary reason people use the site, you can talk about or link to DeviantArt on AO3 – as long as you aren’t directing anyone to a paywalled post or referencing DeviantArt’s paid features in any way.
You’re allowed to link or mention social media like Tumblr or personal websites like WordPress, even if you sometimes post about commercial activities on those sites. However, you cannot reference commercial promotion on AO3 itself, nor may you link, mention, or give instructions for finding an account, page, or post that is solely promoting paid content.
Statements such as “Follow me on social media” or “Check out my Linktree” are fine. Directing people to an Amazon author page or to the Ko-fi link in your Twitter bio would not be allowed. This includes things like “Check out my Linktree to learn how you can support me” in cases where you are clearly referring to monetary support.
While you cannot promote, solicit, or otherwise ask for donations on AO3, you are allowed to add your work to a collection or otherwise briefly mention why you created a fanwork, as long as you do so in a non-commercial manner. This means you can say “This was created for [Event]” or “Originally Written for [Name of Person/Zine]” as long as you do not directly link to a donation page or ask others to donate to them.
Keep in mind we also do not permit mentions of monetary transactions, regardless of when they occurred. A note such as “This was a $100 bid for Fandom Trumps Hate” would still be considered commercialization.
You are allowed to gift your work to someone else or otherwise briefly mention why you created a fanwork, as long as you do so in a non-commercial manner. Because not all commissioned fanworks were created for pay, we do permit usage of the word “commission” as long as there is no indication that a monetary transaction was involved in the creation of the work or that you are available to create other paid commissions.
For example, phrasing like “This is a commission for X” is acceptable, but “Commission for my Gold Tier Patron, Julie” or “My client agreed to let me post the first chapter of their commission” isn’t. The context makes it clear that both “patron” and “client” are references to a paying sponsor.
As our TOS FAQ explains, we don’t review content until it’s reported to us. You may have seen somebody else mentioning their paywalled content or otherwise engaging in commercial activities on AO3, but that doesn’t mean that it’s allowed. All it means is that nobody has reported that content to us yet, or that we haven’t finished processing the report.
First, we’ll review the reported work to confirm that you violated our TOS by engaging in commercial activities on AO3. If we determine that you did, we’ll send you an email telling you to remove the violating material.
If your work can be edited to fix the issue, you’ll be asked to edit the work. Your work may be hidden from other users until you do. If you choose not to edit the work, or if your work cannot be edited into compliance with the TOS, it will be deleted.
PAC will only ever contact you by email, and only after we’ve determined that your work violates our Terms of Service. We will never comment on your work or contact you through social media. Please make sure to keep your account’s email address up to date and check it regularly (including your spam folder), or else you may miss our warning email.
If you repeatedly post works that violate our commercial promotion policies, you may be temporarily suspended. Continuing to violate the TOS will result in your being permanently banned from AO3. You can learn more about warnings and suspensions in our TOS FAQ.
You can give the creator a heads up by politely commenting on their work and linking to the TOS FAQ or this post. Alternatively, you can report the work to us.
The best way to deal with spam comments, commercial or otherwise, depends on whether the comments are from registered accounts or guests.
Although we ask that you do not deliberately seek out commercial promotion to report, if you come across commercial activity while browsing, you can report it using the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form, which is linked at the bottom of every page on AO3.
Please don’t report more than one user at a time or submit multiple reports about the same user. When reporting multiple works by the same user, please submit only one report with links to each work you’re reporting, so that all information about that user is in the same place.
Please tell us exactly where in the work the commercialization is. The best way to do this is to give us a description or short quote that we can search for in order to immediately find the content. If you are reporting multiple works by the same creator, please group all the works into one report and provide this information for each work.
Link to the page you are reporting: https://archiveofourown.org/works/00000000
Brief summary of Terms of Service violation: Commercial promotion

You can add more details if you like, but this example provides the basic information we need:
You’ll receive an automatic email confirming that we received your report, and our volunteers will investigate when they get a chance. Please be patient and do not submit another report about the same work. While PAC investigates every report we receive, it can take several months for us to process a report, and not every report will receive a reply.
PAC follows a strict confidentiality policy. Therefore, while you are welcome to ask general questions in the comments of this post, we will not give information on specific cases, publicly rule on a work, or update you on the status of a report you have already submitted. Comments on this post that discuss specific works or users will be removed.
If you think you’ve found commercial promotion on AO3, or if you want to know whether a particular work contains commercial promotion, please report the work to us as described above. For more information, you can read our TOS FAQ on Commercial Promotion.
If you are still uncertain, you can comment below or submit a question through the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form.
icanhascheezburger_feedBeing a cat pawrent is one of life's greatest joys, and greatest mysteries. One moment your feline overlord is napping peacefully in a sunbeam, and the next moment they're sprinting across the house at 3 AM like a tiny fluffy tornado chasing invisible ghosts. And we just accept it. We don't question it. We simply say, "Yes, Your Meowjesty," and move on.
Because being a cat pawrent means your furniture is now a scratching post, your keyboard is a bed, and your privacy is gone. If you close the door on a cat, they will act like you've committed high treason. And when they do choose to snuggle you - that's royalty bestowing affection, and you should feel honored.
All this chaos and cattitude is exactly why cats are prime meme material. Every cat is a purring punchline with cutie patootie toe beans. These memes perfectly capture the highs, the lows, the late-night zoomies, and the internal meownologues that make up the glorious experience of being a cat pawrent.

Because every single week, we bring you a brand new edition of the ICHC cat meowgazine.

icanhascheezburger_feedIf you have ever introduced one cat to another, then you know all the worries that come along with doing that. There is no guarantee that your cats will like each other, there's no guarantee that they will bond, certainly not right away. We worry about their mental well-being as well as possible aggression that they might show one another. If you do it right, if you let your cats meet slowly, gradually, with supervision, then chances are that your cats will become friends, even if it will take a minute.
Sometimes though, you don't need to worry at all. Some cats are meant to be friends. Some cats are just twin lost souls wandering the earth, waiting to meet one another. We call these cats bonded pairs. And once they find each other, whether it's as kittens, or as it was in this case - with one of the cats being a fully-grown adult and the other being an itty bitty kitten, they may never be separated again.

icanhascheezburger_feedThere are several features of cats that we find purrticularly appealing, feline fam. The first of which is airplane ears. We can't help it - it is probably the cutest "annoyed" look in the whole animal kingdom. Why evolution chose to make them look so silly when they are angry is beyond us, but we love it. The second, and probably the best feature, is toe beans. They make up every purrfect paw of every cat, and when it comes to toe beans, the more the merrier.
There are certain cats that are born with more-than-average beans per paw, and these cats are called "polydactyl cats". However, we stumbled across the king of beans today - a man with more beans than he knows what to do with - and he's right below. This orange maine coon cat below was born with 26 toes and 2 dew claws, giving him 28 toes in total - tying him for the record number of toes on a cat in the whole world. Take a peak at his numerous beans below!

icanhascheezburger_feedCats are ornery little creatures.
Seemingly hellbent on creating chaos around them, cats abide only by their own timelines, dashing around the living room in the wee hours of the morning and taking a swipe at every ankle passing the couch is a must in the Kitty Cat Destruction Handbook. Cats truly run our homes and our lives according to their desires, meowing for an extra helping of wet food, while taking big bites out of our favorite monstrera plant. Menace!
However, as sassy as they may seem, cats are equal parts sugar and spice, balancing their malevolent, chaotic cat spirit with an adorable cuddle machine. Embracing their cuteness inside and out, cats know exactly the effect they have on us humans and they're not afraid to wield every ounce of kitty charm to get what they want. Purrhaps these little felines have it all figured out, right down to the floss-eating, Zoom-meeting-crashing, and biscuit-baking adorableness that defines our dastardly little cats.
May we love 'em furever and ever.
