30 Happy and Carefree Cats Who Don't Even Pay Rent

The cost of rent keeps rising, but at least these cat memes stay rent free in your mind. 

It feels like a sick joke to think about how expensive things are. From the cost of eggs or milk, to drinks at a bar, or rent prices. It's getting almost impossible to afford anything, and the job market is also looking rather bleak. Our parents got to go to college for so cheap, and it was so easy to save enough money to buy a house. Now, even with a well paying job it doesn't seem likely to own property. Things that used to be normal are becoming obsolete now. Over the past few years, the rising cost of living and rent has become an intense pressure for everyone. Rent increases have outpaced income growth in many cities, driven by limited housing, population growth, and higher interest rates. Landlords may seem like the bad guy, but they also face rising property taxes, maintenance costs, and mortgage rates. The result = more money towards rent. 

But there's something that doesn't require rent money, and that's hilarious cat memes. These cat memes live rent free in your mind, and always manage to cheer you up. Cats don't even work, they don't have to think about rent prices or the economy. Wouldn't it be so nice in your next life to be born a cat? Then you wouldn't have to work or worry about a thing in the world. These carefree critters are too busy napping and thinking about their next salmon.
