Modern parenthood is no walk in the park, unless "walk in the park" means being chased by some sort of devil hounds while 50lbs of weight are attached to each of your legs... then yes, total walk in the park. Alas, parenting is rough stuff more often than not.

From across different species, the parenting experience is wildly different. Nassima Bouzid, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington, says that most lizards, "deposit their eggs, cover them, immediately forget they did that and move along." Meanwhile, polar bears nurse their cubs for as long as 30 months.

Obviously, the differences can be stark in contrast. Looking at these mommy cats, however, it's hard not to think (immediately) that their facial expressions and experiences are entirely relatable.

1. You cannot run, you cannot hide.

2. How m any times can a mommy play in a single day before snapping? She wonders.

3. When you're not expecting guests...

4. "I have some regrets."

5. When you're contemplating how to turn back time.

6. Lots of thoughts, not much time to think them.

7. Self Care? A thing of the past for now.

8. Motherhood often means sharing... food, time... space.

9. Every moment away from the kids is a precious opportunity to doze.

10. Just get cozy any old way you can.

11. Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

12. They just don't let a momma sleep, huh?

13. Just push past the stress, I guess.

14. You often wonder, "can we not?"

15. The undeniable face of fatigue.

16. Just a wee bit tired of this whole motherhood thing.

17. Motherhood can often make you feel like some sort of monstrous creature.

18. The Queen of the House, it turns out, makes a phenomenal pillow.

19. Alexa, how do I give up?

20. "My friend's cat had kittens."

21. When all you wanted was one baby but the delivery man brought you a butt ton

22. Put your paws up mom, them's fightin' words.

23. Here they come!

24. "They can't be serious."

25. D O N E

26. PANIC! It does nothing, but it's inevitable.

27. Date Night Away From The Kids
