Cats can do a lot with deadpan expressions
Our feline friends are known for being inexpressive and it is one of the biggest scoring points ever for these furry balls. They are stoic and are never ready for the camera as they are lost in their own lazy, moody swirls of life; licking their whiskers, pretending to sleep or being dreamy. They go around doing crazy things, abhor the lens and most of the times are caught unawares which exemplifies their antics to the core! ‘Don’t care’ attitude of cats has been one of the main factors for the videos of cats becoming sensational!

Well, these are some of the names of our feline friends who have scaled the popularity chart.

This Scottish fold cat is known for her perfect, eye-grabbing, oh-so-cute poses while trying a shot at yoga, staunch expressions and more. This is not all, the list of feline celebs is increasing with each passing day. From making appearances on television shows, videos published online to penning down of books, the feline followers are just fanning the feline desires of the pet lovers - taking the whole idea of cat-ish excitement to the next level.
