The world was taken by storm by the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise but for hundreds of years (since the very invention of pizza in Napoli, Italy) there has been a paw-dorable species of guardians protecting hooman-kind from the greatest evil known to man - Carbs, Melty Cheese and Tomato Sauce! These guardians go by the name of Cat/Feline/Why are you attacking me at 4 in the morning!? And they have been vigilantly protecting us from the pizza's scourge.
Their tactics vary from creating pizza box blockades, to sitting menacingly next to your fresh warm pizza, to throwing the rule book out the window and bodyguard style hurling their open mouths towards the tantalising slice you are holding in your hand. But no matter how they arrive at their end goal, they have become masters of hooman pizza denial. Leaving hoomans with pizza FOMO so desperate that it has single-handedly supported the pizza industry for the last 200 years.

Goodness gracious, that is one heck of a deadly stare. If you doubted the ferocity with which these felines are prepared to guard that delicious pizza pie, then let this look be a warning. We would definitely think twice before trying to grab a piece of this charred perfection.
When hunger outweighs brain power, a pizza blockade is forged. This ginger prince has found himself at the right place, at the right time, just without the right mental faculties to get inside the box and feast. His look of despair almost seems to say "Boy, I could sure you a black or white cat right now, even a calico would do, just someone who knows how to open this thing!"
