We all know that panthers and housecats are related, but we may forget just how similar the two types of felines really are.
As always, though, the internet reminds us how small the world really is — even the feline world! Someone put together a series of photos by various sources that show just how similar black cats and black panthers really are, and the result is both majestic and adorable.
Both types of cats stalk their prey, but it’s hard to take smaller kitties seriously with those adorable eyes!
Not all cats like the water, but some do!
Just look at those teeth!
A log (or a post) is a perfect place for a catnap.
CHOMP.
Imaging having to coax this furball down from a tree.
From head to tail, there’s no mistaking these two for distant cousins.
Whether in your house or in the wild, there’s no denying that black cats are some of the animal kingdom’s most beautiful creatures.
