Do you live in a fancy house with a fancy feline? There's a few ways to know: if your cat crosses their paws, only eats organic tuna, and tells you that they don't understand the plights of the common purrson, then yes, you live with a purrfectly distinguished gentlecat.

There are many subspecies of cat photos that we enjoy. Truth be told, we enjoy every type of cat photo, from 0.5x close-ups to hilarious airplane ears ready for takeoff, but none of them have that purrfect poise as these silly kitties below. They include all the best parts of a cat (which is every part), but specifically they include their awwdorable feline faces, their purrfect paws, and the meowjestic pose we all know as criss cross applesauce.

When your cat crosses their paws, they automatically transform from a normal, everyday house cat into a distinguished gentlecat. They become their most dignified and dapper selves, and can answer any question you might have about philosophy or the stock meowrket. And if you're wondering if your female feline can also be a distinguished gentlecat, have no fears, the answer is absolutely, yes.

What should you do if you encounter a dignified and dapper feline in your home? Firstly, don't panic, you don't want to scare them. Calmly get your phone, and start taking pictures of them for you to awww over later. Then, you will be purrmitted at least one question, purrhaps more, but it's not guaranteed. Use your questions wisely.

Here are some examples below of purrfectly distinguished gentlecats below so you will be prepurred when the time comes. Have a dignified day!

We should mention that crossed paws doesn't make or break their gentlecat status. They can also be giving you a stern look, like a dad who is trying to make you consider your life choices, and that makes them a gentlecat. There are many signs of transformation, if you know where to look for them. As you can see above, there are two very dignified felines with uncrossed paws. And yet, they remain dapper.

Another rule that is impurrtant to mention is the existence of bowties. Again, regardless of gender, if your cat suddenly appears with a bowtie, they are already a gentlecat, or alternatively, a purrfectly handsome gentleman. They have all the qualities of a gentlecat without the crossing of the paws or the stern look. They are simply distinguished.
