Another week of wonder cat videos to share with you! There were a lot of wonderful video options this past week, making it difficult to narrow it down to a top 5 list. However, we think we managed to capture a little bit of everything with these videos. We've managed to select major cuteness, sentimental heartwarming tearjerkers, some silly vids, and more major cuteness. 

Enjoy Instagram's top 5 cat videos of the week! If you need any more cat vids to dive into, don't miss out on last week's top 5!

All across the world you can find timeless metal tributes to all sorts of adorable beasts doing heroic deeds.   

And yes, they are all good boys and girls. 

Check out some of the world's most heartwarming bronze creatures below. 

The cat who inspired James Bowen's bestselling book and film A Street Cat Named Bob, has died at the age of 14.

James, a recovering addict, first met Bob in 2007 when he found him abandoned and injured. James took care of Bob who in turn gave him a reason to get up each morning. They quickly became inseparable, busking and selling The Big Issue on the streets of London.

In 2012 Hodder and Stoughton published Bowen's first book recounting their adventures – A Street Cat named Bob. The bestseller was followed by sequels: The World According to Bob, A Gift from Bob and The Little Book of Bob. They went on to sell more than eight million copies and were translated into 40 languages. Bob made it to the silver screen, starring as himself, in a 2016 film of the original book and will reprise his role in A Gift from Bob to be released later this year.

Hodder & Stoughton, who published the bestseller in 2012, confirmed the feline's death in a heartfelt statement.

James Bowen said yesterday: "There's never been a cat like him" – and we couldn't agree more.

RIP, dear Bob.  

2019 was a tough year for the cat lover community. It was in this one year that we lost two of largest cat legends that the world has ever known:

Tardar Sauce (Grumpy Cat) and Lillian Bubbles (Lil BUB). 

This is a tribute to them and their legacy. 

May they rest in peace. We'll miss you forever. 

Even though this illustration is 6 years old, the message is so beautiful, powerful, and forever relatable that we wanted to share it with all of you. Just a warning though, it will hit you directly in the feels. 

The incredible artist, Booter-Freak, lost her beloved Siamese named Coco on December 2nd, 2013. Coco was 17 years and 9 months old. She lived a life full of love and this illustration, "I Love You" only confirms that.
