It’s often the simple things that bring us most pleasure in life – like these giggle-inducing ‘neko montage’ photos making waves on Twitter in Japan.
Join us after the jump for delightful paper-augmented cats looking cute, angry, surprised, and plain old baffled!
It all started with this tweet from Shiratamaaaa.
▼ “If you have a cat, you should try neko montage! Draw body parts on a thin strip of paper. Then you just have to get the perspective right when you take the picture.”

▼ Nawww, he’s so angry!

Some were inspired by anime characters:
▼ “I tried out Neko Montage”, says one owner. “This is Arakita Cat.”

And some aren’t even cats.
▼ “Neko Montage is so cute I just had to try it out. But…I don’t have a cat, so this is Dog Montage.”
