The hourly countdown to 2013 has officially begun, which means New Year's Eve preparations are in full swing. We're practicing our photobombing techniques, cranking up the tunes and bejeweling jean shorts, among other things. December 31st is the party of all parties, after all!

As 2012 comes to an end and we're reminiscing about the year's greatest internet celebs, there's a certain hilarious feline that tops our list-- the one and only 'Grumpy Cat.' Tarder Sauce, as the sad kitty is also known, first debuted on Reddit, and the feline has since become a furry superstar, scoring interviews left and right and inspiring tons of funny memes.

Brenda Jarvis, 72, and her sister Caddie Smith have been helping injured and abandoned cats in the Dixfield area for the past several years. They have a trailer where they keep the rescued cats. Jarvis tells the Lewiston Sun-Journal that some of the cats were found in dumpsters, or in boxes on the side of Route 2.

Cats have a reputation for being rude and mean, and in some cases it's not entirely undeserved. In other cases, though, there are cats who demonstrate just the opposite. Like this one, who politely taps a human on the arm, and keeps it up until he gets some scratches...

Merry Christmas/Hanukkah! Between this video and DMX singing 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,' we're pretty much full-up on holiday cheer. It's legendary party animal Andrew WK and internet cat celebrity Lil Bub, together at last! WHAT?!

Grumpy Cat thinks she looks like other cats. And she doesn't hate everything -- she really likes Starbucks coffee cake, for example. If you, like us, are obsessed with Tard the Grumpy Cat, this is a must-see video. You'll learn about her fears, hopes, and dreams...

Milo is undoubtedly the world's cutest thief. Her whiskers. Her paws. Her prancing about the neighborhood, going into random houses willy-nilly and accidentally stealing a bunch of stuff. Adorable. Unless of course you're the owner of one of the 20 sets of keys she's stolen over the past week.

&nb Seven dogs from California and Five cats from New Jersey will be arriving at the Franklin County Animal Shelter later this week. The shelter joined in an effort by the Maine Federation of Humane Societies to bring 45 cats from Monmouth County, New Jersey to Maine.

You might want to watch a video of a cat on a treadmill for the moment when it goes flying off and hits a door hard enough to make a sound but not hard enough to injure the cat. This is not that video. This is a video of a cat that does a pretty good job of running on a treadmill...

Funniest Memes of the Week is back for another round of awesome memes. We hope it hasn't been too hard for you to get back into the swing of things after Thanksgiving break, but we have a nice list of memes to reward you for your long week at work.

Apparently the Univision parking lot is overrun with cats. But one of them wasn't content to hang around the lot and wait for its big break. This cat made its way into the building and walked on camera right in the middle of the weather report...

Cats and dogs certainly have different personality traits. How would you react to them if they were people instead?

It seems every day thousands of cat videos are uploaded to YouTube. I'll admit it. I've done it myself. But certain ones just tug at your heartstrings...

We could offer an explanation of this. But we really don't have one, and do you really need one? It's just an adorable Corgi puppy and an equally adorable kitten snuggling, and arguing in their sleep over who gets the most pillow. Oh, and chewing on each other's feet...

It seems like just one week ago we were posting a picture of a dog in a garbage can on our Facebook page. Since then, we've shared lots of stuff with you, and in return, you make us LOL with your witty, sometimes disturbing (looking at you, guy who said he take his time killing a cat) comments. Here are our favorite captions you provided for our weekly photo contest. Congratulations to our winners

This is a commercial from Swedish insurance company Folksam. They are customer-owned and so took requests for commercials from their owners, who are also their customers. One customer, Eva, loves cats, apparently so much that nothing would make her happier than throwing a bunch of them out of a plane while R...
