Cats are beautiful, no doubt about it. It doesn't matter what color they are, they all have an aura of magic around them. It's no surprise that cats were worshipped in Ancient Egypt, but did you know that there was a cat that was a political star of modern times as well? Yep, if you haven't heard of this phenomenon, a cat by the name of Stubbs was actually the Mayor of an Alaskan town (Talkeetna) for 20 years. Sure, he didn't have any qualifications or hold any legal power, but he held people's hearts! On another note, a French cat named Félicette became the first and only feline to ever travel to space. This happened many years ago, on Oct. 18, 1963. Don't worry, she came back to earth, alive and well. As you can see, cats are majestic, beautiful creatures that people have respected for centuries. And as we scroll through adorable photos of them on Instagram, we can't help but marvel at their perfection. Take a look for yourself at these beautiful photos of our pawsitively photogenic feline friends!
