Cats are great. Attractive people are great. Cats posing alongside attractive people are the greatest.

There’s something to be said for bloggers who mash up everything that restores our collective will to live. Take the folks over at Des Hommes et des Chatons, for example. When they started thinking about what the universe was lacking, they determined that humanity would benefit greatly from seeing side-by-side photos of felines mimicking shirtless dudes.

And they were right. Although I’m pretty sure that they created their blog just to see how many people they could indirectly get fired, it’s still the best thing that has ever happened to this frigid, spinning ball of human pain and suffering.

Man’s best friend? Please.
