Is there anything the internet loves more than cats? Going way back to the 'I Can Has Cheezburger?' days, through the Grumpy Cat era, and into the modern age of Insta-famous felines, it seems that our four-legged friends have always had a special place on the world wide web.
Now, they've taken over Twitter, too - but in a way that you might not expect. Far from being yet another account posting fluffy little kittens and big-eyed puss-in-boots types, the Twitter account 'Death Metal Cats' pairs cats with hardcore metal lyrics... and it works purrfectly (sorry).
Maybe it's got something to do with cats being a bad omen, or perhaps it's just because they always look like they're plotting something, but the combination of disgruntled cats and songs about death and damnation has a certain synergy about it. Just take a look for yourself.
