Relationships come and go, but the love shared between a cat and their pet parent is furever.

It's always the "nice guys" who end up having one of the biggest red flags to animal lovers: They don't care for animals. Pet parents know that we'd do anything for our babies, regardless of how difficult it may seem, because they are our children—a part of the family. Their purrs radiate through our bodies whenever they sploot on our chests, they nudge our legs when they want our affection, but most of all, they choose to like us.

Pet parents can also choose to like whoever they please when it comes to hoomans. The woman in this next story is dumped by her boyfriend after she wouldn't stop gushing about the newest kitty she was planning on adopting. Speaking for every pet parent reading this: Good riddance. Any man, or partner in general, who puts you down over the wholesome animal love you possess, needs to be out the door, period.

The woman then adopted the kitten the next day, and she couldn't be happier. Who needs romance when you have the best platonic bond in the world with a cat? Scroll below to read the whole story and browse some pawdorable pics of the kitten himself.

When it comes to heavy machinery, cats are the unexpected overachievers of the construction world. Forget safety manuals. They're forklift certified, crane licensed, and bulldozer approved, with a minor in paw-lifting operations. Every lever, button, and joystick is an opportunity to demonstrate impeccable feline finesse… or just see what makes the most noise.

One minute they're perched majestically on a backhoe, tail flicking like a metronome, the next they're batting controls with curiosity-driven precision… or chaos. Excavator claws? Perfect for digging. Crane hooks? Ideal for dangling toys and morale boosts. Supervisors may frown, but productivity is clearly measured in purrs per hour, and cats excel in that metric.

By the end of the day, the humans are exhausted, paperwork is scattered, and coffee mugs teeter on the edge of danger, but the cats have logged their hours, earned imaginary safety badges, and perfected the art of controlled mayhem. Sure, a little cleanup is required, but watching cats operate heavy machinery is a spectacle of utter awe, amusement, and feline superiority. No hooman could ever compete with this level of paws-on expertise.
