We love going back to our roots, so we’re showcasing wholesome, cute, and funny cat photos today. All to make your day a bit better, a bit brighter, a bit more… pawesome!
Today’s heavy dose of cuteness and smiles comes in the form of the ‘Out of Context Cats’ Twitter account, the feline twin of the ‘Out of Context Dogs’ project. The page proves what we’ve known in our hearts all along—we don’t need any context to look at cat pics. And, frankly, a lack of context makes the photos even more intriguing.

So go on, scroll down and have a look at the best cat pics that’ll have you wondering about the context. Remember to upvote your fave ones and we can’t wait to hear which pics you liked the most and why. My personal favorite is a classic—the cat that was caught eating an egg from a bowl of food.

The ‘Out of Context Cats’ project is fairly new. It was created just as the global lockdowns were coming into full force during the start of the pandemic, back in April 2020. However, in just more than a year, the OoCC Twitter page grew to have a whopping 221.4k followers!
We’re hoping that the project continues going strong because in these difficult times we think that the world needs more cats, humor, and wholesome goodness.

Earlier, I had a chat about taking good photos of cats with pet photographer Karen Weiler and cat behaviorist Ingrid Johnson. While it’s totally fun to take random snaps of our pets, it’s also good to know the fundamentals of pet photography so that you can wow your friends and strangers on the internet alike with your ameowzing skills. These skills will come in useful if you have some time to set up a photo and be deliberate with your snaps.
Photographer Karen told Bored Panda in a previous interview that lighting means absolutely everything in photography.

“So, set yourself up for success by moving a favorite blanket, bed, piece of furniture into a place that has great light. If they enjoy indulging in catnip, you can spread some there too. It is simple really: if your kitty enjoys hanging out there, you’ll have more opportunities to photograph them. They will be relaxed and happy and you will have great light—a winning combination!” Karen said.

Karen added that we can use toys and items with lots of movement to get our cats’ attention because felines tend to respond to movement more than sound. Also, be sure to get down to the level of your cat so that you can work on your composition and get new perspectives on the shot.

Meanwhile, cat behaviorist Ingrid pointed out that we tend to take the best photos of our cats when we snap them in their natural environment. If we take them out of their home, “things go awry.” What’s more, you should try and use natural light to take a great photo. “Play with them to encourage them to look confident and alert,” Ingrid added.
