Basically, for as long as we as a civilization have had cats, we have been carrying them around like babies, complaining about how they won’t help out around the house, and making them wear goofy hats.
Accordingly, for as long as we have had cameras, we have been taking hilarious photos of them and accompanying them with funny captions.
It’s likely that any form of visual expression we invent will be used for cat pictures.
In 2018, Snapchat gave a shoutout to this huge part of its userbase by debuting filters for cats. It doesn’t look like these are still available, but while you wait for Snapchat to bring them back or introduce another round, you can try out this cat filter (for human faces).
Cats’ unusual reactions to the funny Snapchat filter have some concerned owners suspecting that their cats understand when they are looking at a reflection, a behavior which scientists have still not confirmed in cats.
Anyway, we're not going to run out of cat Snapchats any time soon. Happy scrolling and upvoting!
