I have shamelessly copied all these gifs (yes, that’s “jiffs”, folks!) (and yes, some of them appear to be jpgs) and the titles from buzzfeed. I am lazy and Jerry is somewhere between Germany and Chicago, and presumably hellishly jet-lagged. The original title of this selection of gifs is “28 cats having a way worse day than you”.

Thank you !
Brilliant! Cheers, Matthew. Some good laughs there. 🙂
The d*g in #8 is like “whatever…”
Thank you Matthew, that helps. Just in case you know: if your reader’s day is worse than all of those kittys’ days combined, who is to be blamed? Would be so nice if there was someone to blame… I know, that wish ismost likely in vain, but if anybody knows, you guys will…
THIS is why I love this blog!
I love you
The look on the face of that kitty in jiff 19 is friggin priceless.
Brilliant.
#27 – this kitty confused Puss in Boots with Cinderella!
Thanks! These are great.
Gymnast cat is the best.
Well now the jif thing has set off my OCD. 🙂
I asked my geekie son (one of them) about the giff/jiff thing. Apparently it’s only a “jiff” if you’re American. 😉
Because they’re made in a jiffy? 😀
You’d think it would be guh because it comes from graphical, does it not? I think I’ve heard it both ways in Canada.
This reminds me of the best (apocryphal) advertising slogan ever –
Got a stiffy? Get a Jiffy!
Yeah, how does “Graphics Interchange Format” become jiff?
So now we have to start jivving people jifts for their birthdays?
Ridiculous.
especially jeeks
And all those teenage girls going like Oh My Jod! No please no.
God can keep the hard “g” on account of the “o” that follows it. Gesus, on the other hand….
LOL, yeah, it is.
This guy should know! But the debate rages on.
#4!!
Had the whole family at the computer laughing our butts off. Thanks for the moment.
That was utterly hilarious…thanks
Did you miss the cat that’s a librarian? http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/oh-my-god-theres-a-cat-in-russia-that-wears-a-bow-tie-and-wo
From what I’ve heard from her human, Grumpy Cat is actually a sweetheart, and it kind of shows in that video. Which makes it all the funnier to compare with the Grumpy Cat memes 😀
Thanks that was fun.Now the Breaking Bad was the way everyone should feel if you watch.Confused and more confused but loving it.
2 to go! We’re going to be on the road crossing the country for the
very last episode. I hope that Fargo motels have AMC. I know they have woodchippers…
Thanks for the grins. That was too cute!
Ceiling fan cat…now that was funny.
I had no idea cats could just bite through a can. I suppose it’s not that hard to believe but it was a bit surprising.
My sister told me she offered our cat a strawberry recently and it gave a loud cry and ran away. I tried the same thing and it did make a weird sound. Do cats just hate strawberries?
Though I did not catch it on video, I still have the can that one of my Siamese (the dear departed Kizhé) bit through. I had a cardboard case of pop cans sitting on the floor, and at one point noticed that Kizhé was a bit wet, and that there was a puddle on the floor. So I took out all the cans to put them away, and discovered one of them was empty and had toothmarks in it. Mystery solved! (Kizhé also bit a hole in my waterbed. And the liner had slipped so it was no longer under the bladder everywhere. And I was away for a weekend. Water, water everywhere. But I still miss him.)
Mogga, above, likes banana
OMG it has been awhile since I’ve laughed that hard.
The strawberry cat can’t be beat…thank you so very much…this overwhelmed grad student seriously needed this laughter generated tear fest…phew!!
I don’t usually like cats but I think I just changed my mind. Great start to a day.
