Today we have a real whisker-twitching, fur-raising tear-jerker for you. We're entering the realm of sad cats, or at least, cats that appear to be. Don't be fooled by their expressive eyes and droopy tails, as many of our fluffy feline stars are more likely caught mid-yawn than mid-sorrow. But isn't there something irresistibly touching about a seemingly melancholy moggie?
We're prepared to make your heartstrings play a sorrowful tune of 'Fur Elise', as we present you with 18 adorably gloomy kitties. These felines, caught in the throes of an eternal Monday mood, range from the delicately downcast to the dramatically despondent. Just remember, like a cat stalking a laser pointer, looks can be deceiving; these kitties may look woebegone, but they're probably just yawning, or contemplating the existential dread of the red dot's ceaseless uncatchability.

Is it contemplating the relentless march of time, or just disappointed by the candle-to-food ratio?
