'Artists Have Always Known That Cats Are Our Babies': Cute Cat Video Shows Hisstorical Purritos Throughout Art History (Pictures & Video)

If you thought crazy cat people were just a thing in recent years, we're here to tell you that you're dead wrong. This video proves to us that cat people haven't really changed in a few hundred years (and that's fine, because we're purrfect). Cat loaves, purritos, and toe bean appreciation have been around since humans and cats came into coexistence, and now we have proof.

This video found many examples of tightly packed purritos in old Renaissance paintings, proving to us that cat people have always been, well, a little special. You'd be surprised how many are in the video, and we're sure there are many more examples. It was probably the only way they could get the cat to stay still long enough to be painted! We wonder if people in 500 years will look back at I Can Has Cheezburger and think the same thing that we're writing right now…long live purritos!

This cat looks thoroughly displeased to be amongst all those people. To be fair, we probably would too, and we're not trapped inside a blanket being force-fed some slop that they ate in the Renaissance.

So apparently cats hated being in purritos because every picture we see of the cats in this video is less than pleased. This cat is like, "Why am I here, I could be out hunting a mouse or staying with the other fat lady on this street."
