Students at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design have created a blog titled 'furrrocious-forms,' which mixes the best of cats and architecture.
If you've ever wondered why exactly the Tower of Pisa is leaning, it's because cats use it as a scratching post and make it unbalanced from playing with it too much. Other building designs were specifically made so kittens could lounge comfortably on roofs, drink from massive saucers and scratch their backs.
Filled with cute photoshopped cats, this blog is bound to go viral because the Internet is obsessed with anything that has a cat in it. This hilarious blog only further proves that cats will forever be the kings of Internet memes.
