Every once in a while it is good to add some whimsy to your life. Scientific research shows that people who spend 20 minutes or more a day watching cat videos online, or looking up kitty pictures and memes, are actually happier people. Let us infuse a fair dose of happiness in the world, with a handful of these playful pictures of cats large and small interacting with one of the world’s most beautiful creatures: the butterfly!
If this isn’t whimsical, we don’t know what is!
