icanhascheezburger_feedWe love it when the online cat community comes together to get a cat adopted.
This has to be one of our favorite things about the online cat communities, and there are many things that we love about them. Cats are so popular online. Stories about them go viral all the time. It's just amazing for us to watch our communities use this power that we have for something as pure as helping a cat find its forever home. And it happens all the time.
Do you remember Fishstopper? The sad cat who went viral online, and because of that virality, finally got adopted and had some of that sadness leave his eyes. And what about Perdita? She was known as the "world's worst cat" online, but once posts about her started gaining attention, she got hundreds of adoption applications, and finally, a forever home where she would actually be appreciated. And just yesterday, a new kitty went viral - Dobby, a cat with four ears and a curled tail, whose fosters now have to go through hundreds of applications to see who is going to be his forever human.
We have so much power in the cat communities online, and we are happy to report that we always use this power for good - to help cats get the lives that they deserve.
A Soft and Silly Slice of Happiness Featuring 25 Fluffy Feline Funnies
Mar. 6th, 2026 06:00 amicanhascheezburger_feedWhen you need a small dose of happiness, the solution is a large collection of memes.
We could always use a little more happiness in our lives, that is for sure. Even during the best of days, a couple of extra smiles never hurt anyone. But on complicated days like these, it matters even more. Maybe some people say that it is a bad thing to disconnect, but we don't agree with them. Disconnecting from the drama on the news, even if it's just for a little while, is the only thing that keeps us stable. Sometimes, we watch a movie. Other times, we talk to friends. But something that we always turn to is funny cat memes.
Scrolling through silly cat memes is just so easy. There is an endless supply of them, and even the ones that we have already seen - the classics - still manage to make us smile. It's one of the things that we love the most about working here at ICHC, actually. It not only gives us an excuse to look for purrfect cat memes all day long, but it also gives us an opportunity to share our favorite cat memes with you guys as well - and hopefully give you that mental health break that you deserve.

A Failure To Communicate, Part 48
Mar. 6th, 2026 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedThere's something really beautiful about one person looking into another's eyes and saying, "I understand you."
And then the other person being all, "Then why did you write 'Au Caps' on my cake when I asked for it in all caps??"
As you can see, that was not the case.
[sound of pin dropping]
Ahem.
Granted, 99.99% of the time it's "Happy Birthday," but no no, bakers, I'm SURE that's right:
So Hill Birthday, Jill. HILL BIRTHDAY.
For an office retirement party Davis asked the baker to write all the retiree names around the cake randomly:
"No, YOU'RE out of order!!"
Fortunately Davis tells me they were still able to "enjou" the cake.
And lastly, my new favorite cake puzzle! Let's see if you can decipher what it was supposed to say:
What, haven't had your coffee yet?
Ok, I'll give you a hint: After all these years, this baker's days are numbered.
Answer way at the bottom!
Thanks to Leigh B., Jill H., Davis, & Cindy J. for the brain teaser.

6 Short-lived TV Shows That Later Became Cult Classics

fail_feedSome people never age out of high school gossiping habits.
You are probably working with a few of those people. At the very least, the employee featured in this next story is. Godspeed to them.
fail_feedAnyone who's ever rented knows this script. You move out, hand over the keys, and suddenly the apartment you kept spotless is apparently a disaster zone. Every scratch becomes a scandal, every scuff becomes proof that tenants are obviously feral. The security deposit disappears into a black hole labeled routine maintenance. But here we get a treat because seeing someone beat any system is fun, but seeing someone beat a system that was built to nickel‑and‑dime people into giving up is just the best

fail_feedAre we headed in a direction where kids can't even think for themselves?
This professor noted that over the course of the past two years, he has seen AI creep its way into the classroom more and more, to the point that now, some students are using it in ways that are counterintuitive to its central purpose. If the idea is to maximize efficiency and automate repetition, then why are these kids using an AI program to answer questions that are literally already right in front of them? Seems like a waste of energy, if anything!
