Cats are known to be quite aloof, unfeeling, uncaring, unresponsive and having an 'I don't give a heck' attitude. But we are cat owners. And we know that is a lie. Cats are derpy as heck. Oh yes, they are responsive and caring and feeling. In fact, cats feel so much and have such funny reactions to things that we cannot help but laugh at them. Seeing cats mildly annoyed is hilarious. Seeing cats mildly spooked is hissterical. And seeing cats react with serious confusion to the silliest things… well, that's what we're here for today.

Because there is nothing that makes us snort in quite the same way as pictures of cats looking derpy, and we know the same is true for our audience. So, when we asked you to show us the derpiest pictures you have ever taken of your cats, we knew that you would not disappoint. And you didn't.

Oh, the timing of this picture is just… purrfection. We don't know what happened a moment after this photo was taken - whether the cat managed to hold on if the cat fell. The only thing that we know for certain is that both person holding that cat and the one taking this photo were giggling like mad.

Now this… this is what we call a derpy cat picture. This is the definition of it. This is what should appear in the dictionary next to "derp". The ears, the eyes, the slightly open mouth, the position… we wish we knew what caused this cat to react like this, but we do not. Still, just about everything that our imagination comes up with is hissterical.
