Let These Cats in Tuxedos Help You Decompress from How Terrible Everything Is Right Now

Cats in tuxedos are here to lend you their strength.

2020 is on fire.

From the COVID-19 pandemic to the racist police epidemic to freaking murder hornets, let's just throw 2020 out. Yes, the entire year.

Look, you're probably very tired. Maybe you've been out on the streets protesting for your very right to live in a country that devalues your humanity. Or maybe you've been using your privilege to stand alongside those who don't enjoy the same benefits you do. Perhaps you've been tending to the immunocompromised people close to you, avoiding anywhere too public for fear of bringing the virus home.

Regardless, self-care is more important now, in times of intense strife, than ever before. So whoever you are and whatever you're dealing with, take a moment to absorb the big fuzz energy of cats wearing tuxedos.

Why cats in tuxedos? Because i's the least exhausting thing to think about right now. Like, look at this cat in a top hat. Who put him in that?

Look at this lil' dude with his sparkling beverage. He's like, "NYAH, bring me my salmon." If rich people were all actual cats in tuxedos, that would be pretty chill.

This cat's short-sleeve tux with dotted buttons reminds me of a trendy casual-wear take that some hipster is probably wearing right now in their Brooklyn loft. I bet it looks goofy on that guy, but it's pretty cute on the cat.

This cat is easily the god-king of tuxedo cats. He's slouched so cool, and while I'm not 100 percent sure what this term means, I'm pretty sure "he can get it."

Aww he's so proper. Can cats go to etiquette school? This is definitely the kind of cat who sits on an actual toilet.

Okay, the monocle and top hat are photoshopped, but this mofo's mustache is all natural. He's the Mr. Monopoly of cats, and I know I said this before, but if fat cats were literally fat cats, maybe capitalism wouldn't be such a nightmare. Maybe.

This tuxedo cat is shookith, probably because someone made him wear a tuxedo and put him in a car. Also his bowtie is so big. Imagine if a person wore a bowtie with the same proportions. That would be such a big bowtie.

Okay, hopefully these tuxedo cats helped raise your spirits. Whew. What a nice breather.

So now that you're back in fighting shape, let's get up and at 'em. It's time to take action. Join the protests for BLM, and if you can't, donate to the people fighting on the frontlines. It's time to change the world for the better, and remember, whenever you need a little bit of extra support, tuxedo cats are here to help.
