The 50 Crying and Sad Cat Memes

1. Tricky Kitty

We’ve all been here on days we didn’t feel like going to school before we learned the ol’ put-the-thermometer-in-Mom’s-coffee-to-fake-a-fever trick. Not that that ever worked on our moms since the resulting temperature was quite literally off the charts at 120°F.

2. Life Hack Cat

Since we are all about saving time and being as productive as possible in our fast-paced modern society, this life advice from this crying cat may have some merit.

This is the beautiful kind of friendship we all long – and deserve – to have.

As a sensitive overthinker, I can relate deeply to this meme. And don’t get me started on when people respond with a simple “K” or, worse, a “…”!

---

15. Tough Situation

We’ve all been there…

---

16. Anxious Cat

Where are my fellow anxious people at? We’re fragile, sensitive, and extremely delicate. Treat us nicely because you bet we’ll be overthinking about every slight inflection in your voice as we lie down to go to bed at night.

---

17. Breakdown Kitty

If I had the mental capacity to help you right now, I totally would, but I’m in the midst of my own personal hell, so give me some time, and I’ll get back to you later.

18. Regretful Kitty

There’s something about that immediate embarrassment and regret when you hit “send” on a response message mere seconds after receiving the initial text.

As an actual INFJ in the Myers-Briggs personality test, I relate to this deeply.

New Year’s resolution: think a single time before responding to anything.

I don’t think I need to cry; I know I do. There’s a difference. Knowing is somehow more dignified.

---

I know…another Polish crying cat meme, but this one is too relatable to not share. It roughly translates to, “This is me crying in front of the mirror because I have nothing to wear.” As a woman, this meme is extremely relatable.

29. Temporary Tattoo Cat

Nothing made an 8-year-old me feel tougher than a temporary tattoo my Mom bought me from the dollar store. Unfortunately, they never lasted past a single shower, and if they did, I’d pick at them until they were gone entirely.

Ouch. That hurts. After all the memes we shared?

As a person with extreme phone anxiety, I feel this meme to the core of my being. I’ll literally do whatever I can to avoid making a phone call, including waiting on live chat or for a return email for hours or days.

---

34. Change of Subject Cat

We’ve all been there. But what’s worse is when you finally open up about something you’re passionate about or proud of, and someone interrupts you partway through your spiel, forcing the conversation to switch topics, and you just slowly fade yourself out so no one notices you were still talking.

The mid-2000s were really something else. It truly was a “you-had-to-be-there” kind of thing to understand the hold that emo music and Myspace had on all of us.

---

42. Millennial Kitty

Remember how we were so excited to grow up, become adults, and finally have money to spend on the things our parents wouldn’t let us buy? Yeah…about that…

---

43. Sensitive Movie Watcher

This is why I always pause the movie and go to DoesTheDogDie.com the second I see there is an animal in any film I’m watching. I still haven’t recovered from 2007’s I Am Legend yet.

I’m glad my Netflix just keeps playing continuously now instead of assuming I have some sort of social life or other tasks to attend to during my Netflix binges.

As it turns out, I do care, after all.
