It's probably not a secret for anyone that for many years, the internet has been based on three primary elements: Reddit, disputes and cats. Thus, any post that contains at least two of these elements is literally doomed to good luck. This post is no exception, because there is both Reddit and cats.

The specificity of cat photos is that they look incredibly cute in any case - even to the most avid dog lover. After all, everything is beautiful in cats - from the mustache to the tip of the fluffy tail (Maine Coons compensate for the lack of a tail in size), but there is something that will win the heart of any cat lover literally at first sight. This thing is called "kitty cankles".

There's been a whole r/kittykankles community on Reddit (and yes, this is the second primary element of the internet) for quite some time where cat lovers post pictures of their own or other people's cats, and those adorable little soft paws.

Let's be honest, it took a lot of work to break away from just contemplating these incredible photos and collect a selection of the cutest and most amazing "kitty cankles," but we managed to - and this list is already on Bored Panda for your pleasure! So please watch, enjoy, like, and if you have a cat too, just share your own "kitty cankles" with us.

But paws for cats are not only about attracting attention and love from people. It is also a very important part of their body. With their help, cats move - after all, they do not walk with the whole "foot," but relying on their fingers.

With these soft-touch paws, cats can run extremely quietly and increase their stride size. In turn, this increases their movement speed and makes them silent.

With the help of the front paws, cats clean the most inaccessible places: the area behind the ears, neck and muzzle. Such an ideal tool for "hair care." First, cats wet their paws with saliva, and then they wash themselves with that saliva - and not even water is needed. By the way, kittens learn to wash their paws as early as 4 weeks.

One of our cats is like this, she won't let me trim the floof, usually she leaves little toe bean offerings ( as we call them) when she cleans her peets of the spare floof

RezraRoze Report

Some cat lovers have noticed how their pets wrinkle blankets with their front paws. One of the known reasons for this phenomenon is that it is just "a habit from childhood." So, while still kittens, in the process of feeding, they kneaded the mother cat's stomach in order to stimulate the flow of milk.

As adults, they may repeat such movements when they need affection or a sense of security which they can only get from the owner. And the second reason for this behavior is that cats can crush grass to make themselves a comfortable "bed" for relaxation.

By the way, cats can even cause changes in their owner's personal life. Don't believe us? Then just read this post of ours about a date between allergic woman and a cat lover. And if you are a devoted dog lover, then you might like this post about cute doggos too. But not until after you've scrolled all the way to the bottom of this collection - there are still plenty of great "kitty cankles" left!
