IstockWe're not sure why there is an official World Cat Day because every damn day is a celebration of our feline rulers. The Internet is basically an ode to their existence, which is pretty much the only reason we can tolerate the online world.
It's Friday. It's World Cat Day. We're on the Internet. There is literally only one thing to do right now. GIF Party! It's either that or human sacrifice. Cats love when we do that.
So, in honor of the fluffy, adorable, independent, sassy, evil, smart, clumsy, affectionate, indifferent kitties that make our lives so much better on a daily basis, here's our collection of the best GIFs starring the one and only creature known as the cat:

To sum up:
A huge thank you to our feline masters of the universe for allowing us to feed you, pet you, house you and generally exist on this planet with you. It's your world and we are just living in it. We know that.
