It&#8217;s a well-known fact that any time spent with cats is never time wasted. Unfortunately, however, we cannot be around our precious fur babies 110% of the time (devastating, we know). Our weekday office grinds, grocery hauls, and occasional gym routines require that we depart our cat-ified&nbsp;homes&nbsp;for the so-called &#8220;real world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, what do we do when we cannot instantly headbutt our&nbsp;kitties? We power up our iPhones and watch AT LEAST 10 cat videos and laugh at AT LEAST 100 cat memes per day. Frequent consumption of cat content is necessary to&nbsp;maintaining a healthy lifestyle and we highly suggest that everyone try it out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s in this spirit that we are launching this brand-spanking new weekly cat roundup! This series will provide&nbsp;you with a quick break-down of all the very serious, weekly news about&#8230; Wait for it&#8230; CATS! Packed with cat videos, pictures, stories and funnies, this roundup is your purrfect cat fix for when you&#8217;re A. F. K. (Away From Kitty)!<\/p>\n<p>So, without further ado, we present to you our first ev-fur KitNipBox Weekly Cat Roundup!
