The Best Cat Blogs – Updated for 2018

Your feline best friend was once worshiped as a goddess and has never forgotten this fact.

Cats are cherished for their independence and self-sufficiency, yet they’re still ready to cuddle when you need it most when they feel like it. If you need a cuddle but your cat is out hunting or taking a nap in some unknown crevice why not enjoy someone else’s cat vicariously?

Cats have exploded in popularity in the past decade and taken over the internet with memes, YouTube channels, and blogs dedicated to them. These blogs can be very informative, but with the sheer number of them available it can be difficult to find the best ones.
