Dear I Can Has-ers, today, we woke up thinking about a Danish term that will elate your days until the blessed weekend arrives: hygge.
Hygge describes contentment derived from coziness, comfort, and gaiety. It is comprised of all that is cuddly, pleasant, cake-centered and candle-lit—in short, all the factors that make us purr.
Hygge is all about enjoying each day to the fullest. All it takes is noticing the pleasantries of our daily lives. And it’s no coincidence that cats and Hygge go together like Ben & Jerry. As you can see in the following photos of proud pawrents presenting their funny fluffy feline – cats are superior creatures, and understand that even the most mundane thing can be celebrated: a ball of yarn placed too low, cuddles with hoomans, and of course – continuous napping. If only we hoomans would appreciate our cozy domestic daily moments as cats (and Danes) do!
The ingredients for this comforting contented coziness are incredibly easy to obtain: Pour yourself a nice warm cup of your favorite beverage, wrap your feet with animal-shaped slippers, animal-printed socks, or your partner’s backside, cuddle with your cutest cat, and scroll down these lovely screen shots from this post on Reddit. We must warn you, though – this post is not easy to leave. If you have plans today, cancel them. You are about to enter cuddle heaven.
