Is there anything more wholesome than a grandpa who loves his cats posing in a sunflower field with his feline children? Oh, did we forget to mention that they always choose that exact meowment to start a WWE smackdown with each other?

Your Sunday is about a whole lot more colorful (and chaotic).

As a cat owner, I can't think of a more purrfect setting than a sunflower field to take some cute portraits with my cats. The mixture of colors and textures would contrast beautifully with their soft, silky fur, and purrsonally, I just love flowers. Should be a hole-in-one experience, right? Wrong. And the Japanese grandfather who started it all, @catwolf0314, is living proof of that.

This adorable elderly Japanese man has gone viral for his colorful cat photoshoots that never turn out quite like he would want them to. His cats, whom he loves to dress up in adorable outfits, always end up fighting in the pictures, and it's purrfectly hilarious because we get it. You always try to get a cute picture of your cats, and as soon as you pull out the camera, they either stop doing the cute thing, move away from you, or they start fighting. It's like they have a sixth sense for when you're filming. I keep telling myself that they can't pawssibly know what a camera or a phone is, and yet, they somehow always know when and how to avoid it.

So why does he keep trying? Because he believes that bringing his cats out and having them share experiences together will help them bond and grow to love each other more. Don't jump to judge too quickly - haven't you ever had a spat or an argument with your brother or sister? Yeah, we thought so. There may be some bumps along the way, but we think he's doing a great job, and if nothing else, these pictures make us laugh harder than we've laughed in a good, long time.

Not every pair of cat siblings is a bonded pair. Some cats may live together their entire lives and simply “tolerate” each other. It's purrfectly normal, and this seems to be the case here. Both love grandpa, both love their lives with grandpa, but are totally fine never cuddling or being besties.
But not if grandpa has anything to say about it!

See? They do get along sometimes. They just love to fight when the camera is pointed at them. They want the drama, the spotlight… and they got it.
