There’s a long line of history between humans and cats, dating back to the BC era. They were worshipped as gods in Ancient Egypt and were used as helpful predators to the commoners. Since then, we’ve welcomed them into our homes and have fallen in love with them. In modern times, they kill us with cuteness because of their big eyes, soft paws, and loving purrs.

Here at Bright Side, we’ve compiled photographic evidence of every tiny thing that cats do to make our hearts melt.
