Cemeteries might have a spooky reputation, but they can also be peaceful and even beautiful. With no noisy crowds, intricate tombstones that tell stories of lives once lived, and lush greenery in the warmer months, they make for a surprisingly serene stroll.
And it seems animals have figured this out too—especially cats. These adorable felines have been spotted wandering through cemeteries, minding their own business (or perhaps keeping an eye on the local spirits). Scroll down to see them all and upvote your favorites!

Cemetery Cat
First Cemetery Of Athens
I desperately want a void of my own. I would love any kitty, and I would like another kitty cat more than I want a tiny panther. I've only ever gotten cats via CDS. In theory I would go to a shelter before I would look into other ways to get a cat. But how do I know if it's the right time to go? Sort of confused about how people just decide to get a cat without the universe handing them one.

That was absolutely wonderful! Thank you, Oleksandra Kyryliuk, Agnė Sadauskaitė and Rugilė Žemaitytė!
There's something comforting in having little cat guardians just being themselves..
