Now we know what our cat overlords get up to when we’re not looking.
The everyday lives of cats can range from intriguing to downright funny. When they’re not lounging around at home, they’re either out frolicking with their friends or exploring various nooks and crannies. But unknown to us, they also have rather delightful hobbies.
Japanese cat photographer @sakata_77 has been captivated by the furry creatures for the longest time. But unlike his peers, he takes pictures of them in incredibly dynamic postures…
▼ …like dancing as seen here.

Standing on two hind legs with paws outstretched and bodies contorted, the adorable cats in the images look as if they’re dancing to the rhythmic beat of a Japanese traditional Bon Odori Festival.
▼ This is how humans do it in Japan.
