How Atlas and CleoCatra Instagram Cats Conquered the Internet with One Simple Trick

The internet's obsession with cats is no secret. A quick search on Google reveals over 3.72 billion results for the word 'cat.' Yet, among billions of feline photos, a pair of siblings from Melbourne has managed to stand out. Meet Atlas and CleoCatra, the Scottish Folds whose facial expressions are currently breaking the internet.

The Creative Genius Behind Atlas and CleoCatra Instagram Cats

Adrian, the cats' human companion, decided to spice up their already adorable feed by photoshopping small strips of paper with various facial expressions over their faces. From angry stares to goofy grins, the result is a hilariously believable set of images that look like the cats are having a very human reaction to their environment. This series didn't just stay on Instagram; it exploded on Imgur, racking up over 127,000 views and nearly 3,000 upvotes almost instantly.

Atlas, a 2.5-year-old Scottish Fold, and her sister CleoCatra have built a massive following of over 121,000 followers through more than 1,700 posts. Adrian explains that while getting a cat to pose is difficult, he found a clever workaround by using modified clip art to match the cats' natural postures. This 'Disneyfying' effect has turned his pets into global social media stars.
