3. Pudge

A great thinker of our time, Pudge is able to contemplate the intricacies of the universe without getting too down about it. Plus, she can wear ice cream hats like nobody’s business. We cannot afford to lose that kind of bravery to retirement.

4. Nala

No one makes a “surprised face” look so good and so genuine. She just can’t retire before starting an acting school to teach young starlets how it’s actually done.

5. Hamilton the Hipster Cat

He actually invented retirement and did it before it was “cool,” so he’s over it. We run no risk of having him retire, thank god.

The world just needs more musical stylings from her. We know she has more genius in her, waiting to be unleashed.

7. Snoopy Cat

His bold fashion choices make him an inspiration, but it’s more than that: He knows how to rock even the simplest of pieces. We hope he never hangs up his hat so that future cats can study his ways.

Amazing at sitting, he is actually Lil Bub’s boyfriend! If he retires, not only would we not get to watch TV with him but Lil Bub will probably want to retire too. After all, the couple who gets internet famous together stays together.
