Contrary to what the internet might have you believe, taking pictures of cats is not a new obsession.
Since the dawn of photography, people with cameras have been aiming them at their pets who, though not always the most willing subjects, are usually most adorable.
Taking a trip through the archives proves that our collective love affair with cats goes way back and that those cuddling little creatures were as cute than as they are today.
That's what we call a handful of kitties.
Don't even try to deny these touching photos don't make your heart melt.
Awwww!
The premise behind this cool match-up is simple – find a picture of a beautiful pinup, and then find a picture of a funny cat that matches it (or the other way around).
Cute kitties and beautiful pinups go well together just like cute kitties and... well, just about anything else, really.
We all agree cats are gorgeous creatures.
But these photos prove they could actually become professional models.
After all, they don't call it "Catwalk" for nothing, right?
So clear the way for these stylish felines.
We have found the Purr-fect thread for people who love movies as much as they love cats.
Twitter user, @westsidestwry, started an awesome thread - she reimagined famous movie directors as cats and it's hilarious.
There's CT versions of Tarantino, Coppola, Kubrik and many more.

His owner Michele Heritage of Exeter, England, confirmed the news, telling South West News Service that Rubble died before reaching his milestone 32nd birthday, which would have been in May.
The cat who lives 31 years, the equivalent of 150 human years, had no specific health issues but became 'very thin' and died of old age.
Michele got Rubble as a kitten for her 20th birthday, in May 1988, and they have been together ever since: "He was part of a litter of cats that my sister's friend had and I had just left home. I was lonely living on my own, so I got him in as a kitten". she told SWNS.
When asked about the fluffy Maine coon' long life, she credited it to her pet parenting, doting on the animal as if he was her own son, as she hasn't had kids of her own. She also recounted Rubble's final days, sharing that the pet deteriorated "very quickly toward the end."
RIP, dear Rubble.
The internet is filled with cute, silly, wholesome, and gorgeous photos of cats.
Indonesian artist, Amelia Rizky, decided all those photos deserve an artistic treatment and we couldn't agree more.
So, she turned them all into Purr-fect digital watercolors, to the enjoyment of her 205K Instagram followers.
Just scroll through or as the artist put it: "Purr more, hiss less."
If you can't get enough, you can always check our previous item on the talented artist.
It's a general rule in life that if you want to make anything better, then just add cats. Tying the knot is no exception as these photos of cats at weddings will now prove.
All these photos capture moments that would have just been your bog-standard, run-of-the-mill special moment if it wasn't for those kitties.
Sleek, striking and slightly mysterious, cats with grey coloring are gorgeous creatures.
The color grey is all the rage right now, from Fifty Shades of Grey to countless grey interior decorations to articles declaring that "grey is the new beige."
Please welcome those majestic grey cats who are just too damn beautiful for this world.
Anyone who lives with cats and owns a Shoji, those traditional Japanese paper sliding doors, knows that the required maintenance for paper is a lot more frequent because cats are the natural enemy of a shut shoji door.
Japanese Twitter user Kokonananya (@kokonananya) knows this very well as his cats are obsessed with them.
Every once in a while he posts on Twitter funny photos of them causing shoji door havoc.
This last time, however, Kookonananya caught his cats red-pawed at the crime scene, and their adorable reaction was priceless.
While cats are usually considered less social, there are many curious kittens who prefer to be right in the middle of what a person is doing—no matter how inconvenient their presence may be.
Italian Photographer, Marianna Zampieri, started capturing cats at work for her aptly-titled series C-AT WORK.
The talented photographer, who describes herself as Cat-ographer, takes documentary-style images (mostly in black and white) of cats in places of business and provides a fascinating look at how cats claim even the most uninviting workplaces as their own. From a salon to a library to a recording studio, these animals are seen lounging on the equipment or causing adorable distractions to their humans.
Zampieri was first attracted to the idea because it allowed her to see felines in "the most unusual environments… where we are not used to seeing them." My goal," Zampieri told My Modern Met, "is always to try to capture the beauty of a relationship between cats and people and demonstrate the great dignity and the incredible adaptability of these animals in any situation."
OK... that's really disturbing.
Are cats really getting into computer hacking?
Cause if they do... we're all doomed!
