7 kooky cat sites

We know that Presidents Day made this week a short one for many of you. But sometimes those short weeks can feel even longer for some reason, and you just need to take a break from work to look at cats: cats with bread on their heads, cats who give advice, cats who get picked last for kickball.

So save that spreadsheet, postpone that PowerPoint, and enjoy these seven kooky cat sites. (Warning: You may see some language on some of these sites. "Vet" them first before sharing with the kids.)

1. Nerd Cats
Whether it's sleeping in the lid of a comic-book box, playing with Star Trek: TNG's Data, wearing aqua goggles, or turning into Transformers, these cats get a little geeky -- not that there's anything wrong with that. Click the link to ask the Nerd Cats a question!

2. Ask A Tiger
Email or call/Skype your questions to Sabin, Big Raj, and Rick Styles, the tigers who dispense advice on common house-pet problems. ...No no no, not your problems; your pet's problems! The tigers counsel little dogs in big-dog households, dogs whose humans don't want them to bark at children, and more. Follow them on Twitter, or head over to the site to submit a question on behalf of a domesticated friend.

3. Cats That Look Like Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson is a character on TV's Parks & Rec; he's played by Nick Offerman. You don't have to know the actor or the show to enjoy this Tumblr, though; it features a picture of the character, to let readers compare Ron to various unimpressed Persians, or other cats whose faces may be mushed into a glass of water.

4. We Like Cats That Wear Tiny Hats
The cats don't like it that much, we suspect -- the grey tabby wearing two different kinds of hedgehog hat looks like he's about to tear the photographer to ribbons (WITH HIS MIND) -- but the cat who's allowing his owner to stack a tower of Fancy Feast cans on his head doesn't seem to mind that much. The cat "in" the green hat in this snap made us giggle uncontrollably for ten minutes...and with 61 pages of archives, you may find yourself uncontrollably hooked.

5. The 25 Most Awkward Cat Sleeping Positions
We can always count on Buzzfeed to find us the weirdest and most fun cat pics. And we can also always count on Mabel, Shine Pets VP of Napping, to pull a "13. The Librarian" several times a week. She claims she's "researching."

6. Breaded Cats
Photos of cats with their heads poking through slices of bread (occasionally a wrap or a pancake makes an appearance).

7. Actually Cats In Boxes
Just what it sounds like. Enjoy cats surfing in Styrofoam peanuts, or refusing to leave boxes their owners need to mail items -- or submit your own picture of your cat in a box. (Or trying to fit into a box he's too big for -- a time-honored tradition in our home office).
