Meet Count Catula and 21 Other Vampire Cats With Adorably Sharp Teeth

Deep inside a cat owner's home, a mysterious creature awakens from its afternoon nap. It stretches its legs and opens its mouth, revealing the cutest and sharpest fangs you've ever seen. Don't be alarmed. This is not Count Dracula. It is Count Catula, a sleepy feline vampire that only wants tuna.

Cats, in a way, are similar to vampires. They appear unexpectedly behind their humans, they wander through dark rooms without making a sound, and stare into empty spots as if they were planning who their next victim would be. And above all, they have the sharpest teeth. Hmm. Suspicious.

Why are they so active after everyone goes to bed? It seems Count Catula has important night business. Their midnight habits are suspicious. Maybe they are guarding the hallway or investigating mysterious noises, but nobody really knows what happens during the night. Also, their ears sometimes create a convincing silhouette, resembling a bat.

If it weren't for the fact that they love the sun, they would practically be tiny vampires. But they always look for the brightest spot available and spend many hours soaking up the sunbeam. And they aren't frightened by garlic, which is another point. Garlic won't do a thing to them, but a vacuum cleaner certainly will.

Whatever secrets they keep, their humans are safe if they provide breakfast and dinner on schedule. Cats are only interested in food, attention, and occupying the warmest sleeping spot in the house, even if it is your chair. So prepare to enter a feline castle full of feline yawns and adorably sharp teeth. Count Catula and the rest of his fanged fellas are awake and always ready to sink their teeth into cardboard boxes. Or that plate of chicken you left unattended on the table.

Capturing one of these vampire expressions on camera requires excellent timing. A feline yawn lasts only a few seconds, so their humans must act quickly before the terrifying Count Catula disappears and their house cat returns. The resulting picture often looks much more dramatic than the original moment.
