Strange Encounters Of The Feline Kind: Adorable Alien Kitties From Planet Reddit

The ancient Egyptians used to worship cats, and even though our society today looks a lot different than theirs did, we still basically do the same thing. Cat owners devote themselves to their feline friends, and everyday thousands of people turn to communities on the internet to post, look at, and talk about cats. There's one particular cat-loving community on Reddit that we've been frequenting recently, which is called r/CatsAreAliens. Whenever we log on there it kind of reminds us of that old, hilarious History channel show. Do you guys remember that one with the aliens guy, who thought that just by saying aliens, it would explain everything? Well, some of the contributors to this subreddit seem like they might be this guy's disciples. But, what do we care! We're just here for the adorable cats.

Most of the posts on r/CatsAreAliens show camera tricks that make it look like a cat has extra limbs, or blurred features. But, there are also a bunch of posts of cats acting so ridiculous that only an alien would think to do something like that. Still, going through all of these to pick out the best ones for you all was challenging, and to reward ourselves, we think it might be time for a space movie marathon. Can you guess which one we're going to be watch? If you said Disney's 1978 smash hit "The Cat From Outer Space" then you hit the nail on the head! But first, you've got to take a look at these ridiculous cats.

Spinning Like A Flying Saucer

It looks like this cat is spinning up and getting ready to take off! Mice are overrunning his home planet and the mothership needs him, so it looks he's got no time or kibble to spare. Really though, we're sure this cat is adorable when he actually holds still enough for a picture. Plus, we love that we can see his adorable little pink tongue sticking out of his mouth, even though the picture is all messed up otherwise.

Oh No! It's OctoCat!

Oh goodness… please tell us this is photoshop! It took us a few seconds to realize what was going on here, because at first, we thought we'd actually found the fabled octocat. But, then we started looking a little closer and realized that those weren't extra paws at all: they're little copies of the cat's little face. Can you imagine a cat looking that angry with seven different mouths, though? You would never have mice in your house again!
