From majestic lions to couch potatoes: 30 photo portraits of furry pets showcasing the different incarnations of cats (31 photos)

There are portraits, and then there are portraits of cats. There's no sleekness, no politeness, and no desire to please. They're all about honest, sidelong glances, regal majesty on the couch, and a complete lack of conscience when they take up most of a desk or the entire bed.





This photo collection features portraits of the most worthy representatives of the furry fraternity. Some of them are putting on a serious face, as if they're deciding the fate of the world. Some of them clearly just stole a sausage and are now pretending they did. And some simply show off their fluffy belly, reminding us that happiness is just like that—furry, warm, and not always perfect. Scroll through, admire, and tag in the comments who most resembles your pet tyrant.
