There Is a Cat in the Sky and It’s Viral

You know how sometimes you post something well-thought-out and well-worded; of grave importance on your social media and not a peep out of your friends. Then you post a silly video of your dog making an absurd face and suddenly everyone likes and comments! There really isn't any telling what people like and what will suddenly go viral --- like the cat in the sky, for instance.

Cat in the cloud?

This strange photo was the result of a cat looking out the window. By some strange quirk of timing or angle or whatever it appears as though there is a cloud the precise shape of a cat up in the sky.

People loved it

The tweet received 1.4 million likes, and over 247k retweets. Crazy, right? Completely!

This question

What are humans doing down there – social divides, suspicion and hate of our fellow humans, violence - so, yes, good question by the cat.

Some were mourning their own feline

This Twitter user recalls his own cat who has passed on recently.

Tree spirit

Yes, it does look as though the branches are growing out of that cat's head.

Possible

If a cat god were in fact a thing, this conversation is not difficult to imagine.

People love their cats

They love taking pictures of those cats and sometimes those pictures are quite amazing.

Cats make people happy
