Adorable Transformations That Remind Us Why Felines Rule the Internet
Cats have been entertaining humans long before the internet existed, but once the web came along, they took it over completely. From loafing in sunbeams to launching into random zoomies at 3 a.m., cats have become the undisputed stars of online culture.
Every whisker twitch and paw stretch has the potential to go viral, and no one seems to mind. Among the many corners of the internet devoted to feline fame, there’s one community that celebrates the glow-up of all glow-ups: before-and-after photos showing kittens growing into their adult selves. It’s pure joy for anyone who’s ever loved a cat—or ten.
Our bond with cats goes way back. Archaeological finds in Cyprus indicate that humans lived alongside domesticated cats around 10,000 years ago. Early farmers gave them shelter, and in return, cats kept grain stores safe from hungry rodents. In ancient Egypt, this partnership turned into admiration.
Cats were honored for their hunting skills and even mummified alongside their owners, a level of respect few pets can claim. Centuries later, during the Age of Exploration, cats became essential crew members on ships.
Sailors relied on them to keep rats under control, saving food and supplies from destruction. Some ship cats even became legends - like Simon of the HMS Amethyst, who earned the Dickin Medal for bravery during the Chinese Civil War.
From mischievous kittens to confident cats, their charm only grows with time. Watching them change is like seeing chaos turn into calm beauty.
