20 Funny Memes of Cats Saying “No Thanks” to Winter and “Yes Please” to Warm Snuggles

Their paws tuck underneath their bodies, their tails wrap tight like scarves, and they look at their hoomans with that classic “fix the thermostat, peasant” expression.

It’s their season for maximum pampering, and they fully intend to take advantage of it.
