Ever wondered what literary greats like Natsume Soseki and Osamu Dazai would look like as felines?
cute. cats
Nausicaä, The Catbus and Super Mario are just some of the characters in this feline’s impressive collection.
It took a year for this injured stray to learn to trust her human family, but now she literally clings to them at their farm and flower shop.
Turns out the Japanese randoseru school backpack is perfectly designed for cats to ride on.
Totoro and the Catbus are just two of the Ghibli anime characters that star in this cute cat cosplay collection.
For this sweet kitty, the texture and colours of the strange new floor covering are too much to handle!
You’ll never be lonely burning the midnight oil with one of these exhausted kitties diligently working by your side!
This cat treats its human like a personal body pillow and the results are absolutely charming!
Some cats are cute enough to be models, while others are so beloved they get to have their very own shoe collection.
