Sploot alert! When a cat flops down like a fuzzy pancake with their little back legs kicked out like they're about to launch into a jazz split — that, my friend, is peak sploot.

Why do they do it? Who knows. Who cares. All that matters is there's suddenly a long, leggy loaf sprawled across the kitchen floor like they pay rent and own the place. 

One minute they're zooming at 100 miles per hour, the next they're fully melted into the ground like a scoop of tabby sherbet. It's the ultimate drama queen move. "Oh, me? I'm just exhausted from knocking your water glass off the table for the third time. Let me just… collapse gracefully."

Some cats go for the full sploot, legs behind like furry baguettes. Others give us a lazy half-sploot, one drumstick tucked in, the other out like they forgot what they were doing halfway through. Either way, 10/10. Would admire again.

Sploot on, kitties. The floor is your stage, and your beans are the show.

Look we get it, this week has felt like three already, and with the weekend now glimmering off in the distance, it can be hard to keep your cool and concentration on what is left to do in this work week. Which can be a big problem if you end up slacking off so much that you get fired before the weekend.

And because no one needs to start their weekend in a pit of despair, we figured we would lend a hand with this collection of calming cat memes for when you are too excited about the weekend. Our feline friends have gathered from far and wide for this, and brought forth only the fluffiest felines, the coolest cattos and the cuddliest kittens to make sure that you come out calm enough to keep your job and not lose it due to distraction or excitement.

Here's a story that every cat pawrent, accidental adopter, or CDS believer will feel deep in their whiskers. Sometimes, the Cat Distribution System doesn't deliver with a meow at the door. Sometimes, it tiptoes across your bed and leaves pawprints on your heart before you even realize what's happening. That's exactly how this cat arrived - uninvited, uninterested in cuddles, and yet absolutely meant to be.

The hooman in this story was never a "cat person". But as so many of us have learned, the CDS doesn't care what kind of pet person you think you are. It sends the right cat, at the right time, whether you're ready or not. And sometimes, the cat isn't ready either. This was no instant love story - this cat invader watched from a distance for over two months, never allowing touch, never showing trust… until one day, out of nowhere, he did. That sudden moment of acceptance? A miracle only fellow feline fanatics will understand.

What makes this story so relatable isn't just the surprise cat adoption - it's the deeper truth many of us have felt: that cats don't just fill a home. They fill a hole we didn't even know was there. In this case, Ares the cat showed up two weeks after a long-term relationship ended. He brought purpose and companionship. A bond that asked for patience and returned it with loyalty.

So here's to the mysterious meowgic of the CDS - always watching, always waiting, always pouncing at the purrfect time.
