50 Of The Funniest Pics Of Cats Watching People From The Ceiling

Inspired by and dedicated to the Ceiling Cat meme, which I am certain you are acquainted with, this list aims to further unravel the mysteries of god-like cats. Since you are a knowledgeable Word Wide Web user, dear reader, we’ll not dwell on the history and conception of the Ceiling Cat meme but rather ponder on the cats themselves. 

For starters, this feline fascination of ours. Alright, alright, I know... You think I’m going to talk about the ancient Egyptians, their mummified cats, and the cat goddesses like Bastet, Sekhmet, and Mafdet. But just to spice up the “cats as deities” discussion, I'm adding in cat-gods from other ancient cultures as well. For one, there's ‘The Ovinnik’ — a spirit in Slavic mythology that occupies the shape of a black, fiery-eyed cat. Once full-bellied, it’s a great protector of the barn and the livestock housed there, just like a normal cat. But woe to those who let Ovinnik's tummy gurgle as the spirit will eat their animals and set buildings afire. Or take the Norse goddess Freyja for instance: her heavenly chariot was pulled not by mere steeds but by two giant grey cats. It’s said that people left snacks for these cats so they wouldn’t make a meal out of their children either. As you can see, cats have always occupied a special place among the divine, so transitioning to the overlords of The Internet is the next logical step. 

Since simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, Internet cats have dropped their gilded capes and diamond claws, moving on to basic things that would resonate better with wide-eyed mortals instead. And, ultimately, prolong their sovereignty over us. Now we have the same god-like cats being praised for their cuteness, infamous cat-logic, and general buffoonery — you know, the simple stuff of a cat's existence. Like letting go of any old habit, though, dropping your status as a deity sure ain't easy. Once in a while, we see a seemingly cute cat reminding us of its authority by occupying the highest possible place in our homes and scalding us with their austere stares. If you still don't have a grasp of this post's topic by reading it thus far, I invite you to scroll down below and see our collection of Ceiling Cat photos!
