Hey there, sober cat enthusiasts!! I’m Lane Kennedy. I’m a mindfulness teacher, nutritionist, and co-host on Laughing without Liquor, a Woman’s Guide to Living It Up Without the Booze. I cherish sober life and the clear-headed joy it brings; sobriety to me is like the purr of a well-loved cat. 

Today, I’m excited to share my expertise in living a spirited, alcohol-free life and “11 Funny Cat Videos on YouTube” that are simply purr-fect! Dallas, my Russian Blue, changed my life in early sobriety. He taught me the transcendent bond that can exist between a woman and her cat! Dallas was less of a pet and more of a spiritual guide who supported me through my transformation. After I moved away from the eclectic streets of Laurel Canyon, this magical creature took it upon himself to trek back to our old haunt, looking for me, when I went on a spiritual journey to Thailand – his loyalty knew no bounds! 

Let’s honor the enchantment of our whiskered allies as we dive into a collection of hilarious cat antics that will leave you feline fine. So, sit back, relax, and let’s pounce on this joyful journey together.  

1. Maru, the Box-Loving Cat:

Maru’s obsession with boxes of any size is the epitome of cat logic and human amusement.

2. Surprised Kitty (Original):

Remember the tiny kitten with the wildly adorable reaction to tickles? It’s an oldie but a goodie!

3. Keyboard Cat:

The classic musical prodigy that paved the way for cat celebrities everywhere – play us off, Keyboard Cat!

4. Simon’s Cat: 

A series that captures the quintessence of cat behavior, animated to purr-fection. https://www.youtube.com/@SimonsCat If you’re like me his lo-fi channel will help you get shiz done. 

5. Cats vs. Cucumbers:

These startled furballs teach us that you don’t need a drink in your hand to jump out of your skin – just a sneaky cucumber & a cat who thinks it’s a snake! 

6. The Two Talking Cats:

A “deep” conversation between two cats that could rival any late-night dialogue at the bar – minus the slurring.

7. Nonchalant Cat Interrupts Yoga:

Because what’s funnier than a cat utterly disregarding its human’s quest for inner peace?

8. Sail Cat:

This feline takes to the air with the grace of a feather and the fame of an internet sensation.

9. Cat Fails Compilation:

Cats failing at being graceful. It’s the schadenfreude of the animal kingdom.

10. The OMG Cat:

This moggy’s expression is the epitome of shock and awe – no exclamation marks necessary.

11. Cats Being Jerks:

Sometimes our feline friends are hilariously naughty, reminding us that all cats will be cats, but some cats will also be demonic

As I wrap up this purr-tasting post of cat capers and chuckles, I hope you’ve enjoyed every whisker-twitching moment as much as I have. Cherishing our furry friends and their antics is another way to embrace our quirks and find joy without reaching for that liquid crutch. For more laughter and less liquor, grab a copy of “Laughing Without Liquor: A Woman’s Guide to Living It Up Without the Booze.” It’s full of wit and wisdom for those on the sparkling water wagon. 

Don’t forget to subscribe to the Self Preservation Lifejacket newsletter for continual inspiration on your journey to a vibrant, alcohol-free life. It’s brimming with tips for living a fulfilling and serene sober life, much like the calm a cat brings when it curls up in your lap. 

My Russian Blue, Dallas, taught me that sometimes the most extraordinary journeys don’t require a glass in hand but rather a leap of faith and a loving companion. 

Before I leave you, I’ll share a lighthearted laugh: What did the cat say when it decided to become sober? “I’m feline fine without the wine!” 

Until our paths cross again, may you hold on to courage, bask in the laughter, stay brave, and above all, keep laughing!
