A bit of history

Cats and humans have always had a close relationship. Pets have become characters in films and even theater productions. In the 1870s and 1880s, Harry Poynter, an English photographer, used trained, dressed-up cats in his productions.

In the 90s, with the advent of InternetCats became the stars of email newsletters. And in 2005, Steve Chen (co-founder of YouTube) uploaded the first video featuring a cat. Since then, pets have been rapidly conquering the internet. Dedicated websites populated with amateur content (such as Reddit, Flickr, and others) have sprung up. Statistics show that by the end of 2015, there were over 2 million cat videos on YouTube alone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, owners have begun to turn their pets into global celebrities. Cats have their own channels and pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other popular social networks.

All this led to the opening of an entire exhibition in New York City in 2015 dedicated to the topic of cats taking over the internet. The opening was also timed to coincide with the release of the book "How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity: A Guide to Financial Freedom."

And there's more. The Internet Cat Video Festival was founded in the United States—a large-scale event broadcasting online videos to a huge audience. A special "Golden Kitten" award is presented based on voting results.

Incredibly funny videos

Pictures and videos of pets are considered among the most popular. Psychologists believe that viewing such content has a positive impact on the psyche, comparable to real-life pet therapy. Take a moment and see for yourself.

Many people believe that animals are terrified of water and hate bathing. However, this is not true at all:

Funny cat videos don't have to be funny. Meet a special category of pets – record-breaking cats. For example, Australian cat Dija entered the Guinness Book of World Records by performing 20 different tricks in 60 seconds. Her owner, Robert, taught her to high-five, skateboard, sit, lie down, come, stay, and do other funny things. It's amazing how quickly and easily the cat does everything she's asked to do.

The most popular cats on the Internet

Despite the abundance of similar content, some cats have become incredibly popular, far outselling their fellow cats in terms of "likes." Let's meet the most famous pets in the world:

Evil Cat

A dwarf cat with the amusing name of Tartar Sauce became a true internet star after her owners posted her first photo on Reddit in 2012. Users were incredulous that the animal could have such a grim face and suspected it was Photoshopped. To dispel any doubts, the owners posted a video, and the stardom of the sullen cat known as Grumpy Cat began.

Tartar Sauce quickly became one of the most recognizable and popular cats in the world. Today, she stars in commercials, rides in limousines, and eats only premium food. Fans have created clubs and communities on social media dedicated to their beloved pet, and the cat herself has even launched her own YouTube channel. However, nothing can make Tartar smile—even a meeting with famous actor Ian Somerhalder couldn't cheer up this furry little brat.

Winner of the boxes

A Japanese cat named Maru became world-famous thanks to his extraordinary passion for boxes. His owners have posted over two hundred videos of Maru battling boxes of various sizes and shapes. Over the years, more than 250 million people have viewed this pet's pranks. This popularity quickly bore fruit—Maru began appearing in commercials.

The Unwarlike Warrior or the Terrible Tickler

Despite his menacing nickname, Attila the kitten is one of the cutest fluffy creatures around. A video of his owner tickling and then scaring him was a long-time hit online.

Talking cats

It turns out that cats can talk, and funny videos confirm this.

This video of two cats purring and purring, communicating with each other as if nothing had happened, proves once again that cats can talk. We just don't understand them.

We hope you enjoy this old but beloved video about Yashka the cat, who learned to say the phrase "Open the door for me."

Funny photos about cats

Funny photos of furry friends with various captions are also very popular. Psychologists say such humorous memes are a great way to relieve stress and relieve anxiety.
