Sunday is kinda of a day for the feline pawrents of the world. While, Caturday is all about celebrating the existence of energetic cat children, Sunday without meaning to, ends up being the day that your feline fur baby calms down (mainly because they have little energy left from their clawminal Cautrday acts) and the attention is moved from them to their pawrents. And today we wanted to share with you an extra special collection of feline pawrents who you might not quite have expected to be in the feline fandom, but are well and truly obsessed with cats. Heck, they might even be commenting on lists on this site! Under a pseudonym, obviously.
So if you like your cute cattos with a side of stardom, you will want to get cozy for this list of celebrity cat pawrents who can't live without their feline fur babies. It is always so funny to find out that our celebrity heroes are just like us.

Hello, fellow cat pawrents. How's your weekend going? More importantly - how's your cat doing now that they finally have full, uninterrupted access to your lap, your bed, and your undivided attention? Because if there's one thing cats cherish (besides treats and inexplicable 4 AM sprints), it's a peaceful, cozy, human-filled Sunday. A soothing Sunday, if you will. The kind of day that's tailor-made for napping in sunbeams, gentle head boops, and slow blinks that say "Yes, this is the vibe".

Read Sometimes You Need To Go Against The Tide
Woman: "Um… where’d all the water go?"
Man: "Yeah, this isn’t what it looked like online. There was water in the photos."
I glance out. Classic low tide with the exposed sandbars and all.
There aren't many animals that sleep more than cats. Sloths, and maybe koala bears can out-sleep them, but no one can out-silly them when it comes to falling asleep in adorably awkward angles. This is purrtially due to the fact that cats have noodles for bones and can transform into their liquid state at the blink of an eye. One time, you can pick them up and they are solid, and the next time you try, they might be floppier than a rag doll. They are almost always in their fluid feline state when sleeping. These pictures below prove it.
But we're not here to talk about the state of their silly skeletal structure; we're here to talk about Sundays. If there is one day that is truly feline in nature, it's Sundays. Sundays are for resting, taking lots of naps, and doing essentially nothing - sound furmiliar? Right, it sounds like what your cat does every day. Don't bother getting off the couch today, your cat wouldn't.

Kids these days are running around with their TikToks and YouTube shorts, and honestly, we feel bad for them. They can't focus on anything. They need their phones in order to survive, whereas we had to print our directions from MapQuest in order to get to a friend's house. Life was simpler back then. We had Reddit, Ebaumsworld, and MySpace… that was it! We went home and played Neopets, did some homework, and burned CDs to make the best mixes for our next car ride.
Back in the good old days, when memes were still original and fresh, we think we can safely say that those were happier times. To be fair, we didn't have any bills to pay, so that is definitely part of it. But it's also the nostalgia, just remembering those early Lolcats memes where everyone spoke like a cat would crack us up like crazy. They were the best of times. If you're feeling a like taking a stroll back in time, give yourself a nice scroll below with these vintage memes below. 2000s, here we come!
I am a senior archivist at an art museum, and my typical attire reflects my professional position—finely tailored suits with pencil skirts and the like. However, my daily commute involves a motorcycle rather than a car, which makes donning my office clothes quite the challenge. So, I’ve adopted the habit of wearing jeans and sturdy […]

Happy meowrning, cat people! Yes, another weekend full of drama, but we are here to avoid all of that. We are here to laugh and smile and enjoy the purity that is cats. Because while it is true that no matter where you look on the internet, all you see is that drama, one place remains ruled by cats entirely, and that is where you are right now - ICHC. And as we do every single Sunday, we are about to start this day the way that it should be started - with a whole heck of a lot of funny cat memes.
And what we have for you here are not simply any cat memes - here you have the best of the best of cat twitter… without any of the drama. Because no matter how much we want to avoid the drama, we want to enjoy cat twitter even more. And this is the solution. Have a purrfect Sunday, friends!

Mom: "No. You’re an adult. You should just give this card to my son."

Today we're spotlighting wedding cakes with a modern twist. Unusual shapes, clean lines, bold colors - these aren't your grandmothers' wedding cakes. (Unless your grandma was really, really cool.)
Let's start with what I first thought was a stack of brilliant dishware:
By Baking Arts
Wowee - check out that color! And it's actually striped modeling chocolate, not fondant. Amazing.
I love it when bakers experiment with a wedding cake's shape and height. You know, like this:
Submitted by Elizabeth H. and made by Maggie Austin Cake
Formal, but still fun. Love it.
Extra tall bottom tiers are a neat way to liven up more traditional round cakes, too:
Plus that graphic black and white pattern manages to be both modern and timeless all at once.
This next one is also by Rouvelee, because I couldn't pick just one of her amazing cakes:
Look at those swirls! Totally swoon-worthy.
If you asked an artist for an extremely abstract, minimalistic interpretation of sea foam and crashing waves, you might get something like this:
By Gateaux Inc.
Kinda cool, right?
I had to zoom in on this one before I realized the ribbons weren't real ribbons:
Sub'd by Jennifer H., made by Salt Cake City
Sharp corners, crisp lines - just perfect.
Here's another that might fool you into thinking it's wrapped in real ribbon:

And those graduated colors! I literally gasped the first time I saw this - such great girly goodness.
There's something about sunny yellow accents with black and white that always makes me smile:

Beauuutiful. And I was delighted when I realized this is by the baker who made our very first cake at our very first book tour stop here in Orlando. (Love ya, Johnnie!)
We've seen our fair share of peacock wedding cakes, but here's a more modern twist on all that beautiful plumage:
Submitted by Heidi T.; By Betty Crocker Recipes
So...would you call that shade Norwegian Blue? [innocent smile]
Happy Sunday!

P.S. It's been over a year since I bought these sleep headphones, so time for another shout-out!
Bluetooth Sleep Headphones
I have the kind of insomnia old-timey bards would write songs about, so I listen to boring audio books on these every night to keep my brain from spinning out of control. Lately I've been wearing them like a sleep mask - like the model here - and WOW, that's helped even more than when I wore them like a headband! These things have been a life saver: comfy enough for side sleeping, not too loud like some of my old speakers, and they only cost $20.
Note that they do run on the big side, but that works out great if you have a big head like me. :D

When I was around 14, my mother got with a guy who already had kids from a previous marriage. I consider them just as much my siblings, as my full blood siblings are.

I work at a nonprofit of about 250 people. Our team director has been problematic from the start – she was in way over her head and constantly used slights and subtle insults to assert her authority. She would find your weakness and squeeze. After many months of growing frustrations, a group of managers complained […]
A customer comes in to McDonald’s where I work. He approaches the counter and after about a minute he says “I’d like a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger.” I reply “You’d like a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from McDonald’s?!…” Customer says “Yes!” I wind up ringing him up for a Bacon McDouble–the closest we offer to his request.
