A collection of the best cat videos on the internet

We all know that when it comes to cats, one day simply isn't enough to celebrate their greatness. But seeing as it's #InternationalCatDay, we thought we would try.

In order to celebrate the special occasion, we took to YouTube and rounded up the most purrrfect cat videos of all time.

These videos aren't newcomers to the cat hall of fame either, in fact, most have been watched tens of millions of times.

So chances are you have seen several of these founding fathers of feline entertainment floating around the internet before.

But that's what makes these videos so great, they stand the test of time and always promise a genuine 'lol' 'ROLF' or maybe even an 'LMAO'.

So sit down, grab a cuppa, your unwilling feline friend, and enjoy our top 10 cat videos for International Cat Day.
