Even if you aren’t the biggest cat lover out there, you can still probably agree that kittens can get themselves into some pretty adorable positions — whether it’s playing hide-and-seek in an old cardboard box or finding new napping locations that may or may not be slightly inconvenient for you, like on your laptop (though ideally it’s just a sign your cat really loves you). Every cat owner has their favorite cute cat breed they may adopt over and over, but at the end of the day, all kittens and cats are adorable in their own way. These cute cat photos will brighten your day and maybe even convince you to browse pet adoption websites in search of a furry companion.
From mini kittens poking their heads into coffee mugs and tea cups to gorgeous ginger or black cats stretching after a nap, these images will capture your heart and make you laugh — especially if you are also a cat owner and have found your own pet in odd places more than a few times. You may even be inspired to try to replicate one or more of these photos with your own kitty. Any one of these cute cat photographs paired with a relatable cat quote will definitely rack up the likes on Instagram. Or, you can share your favorites with a fellow cat-loving friend or family member to instantly improve their mood.
Curled Up Cat
This photo is proof that you never need to buy a cat bed — they can, and will, sleep in literally anything. Even a bowl, which is about 100 times cuter than a bed anyway.
Yawning Black Cat
This cat has either spotted their treats very close by, or they are extremely excited for you to be home. Either way, there is nothing cuter.
Hiding Kitty Cat
“Oh, hi… just hanging out in my box, otherwise known as my new home.”
Twin Kittens
If this photo doesn’t make you want to run out and adopt two little kittens right now, we just don’t know what will.
Caffeinated Cat
Never leave a cup of coffee unattended when a cat is around. Although it does make for a good photo.
What’s Your Shoe Size?
Excuse me, sir, but how exactly did you get in that boot?
Traveling Kitty
We wouldn’t recommend packing your cat in your suitcase, but we do encourage you to safely take them on adventures!
Tea Time With the Cat
Is the mug very large or is the cat very tiny? It doesn’t matter, either way, this is the purrfect picture.
