25 Purrfect Cat Princesses and Princes Giving Royalty Wrapped Up in Fur

Here thee, there thee, your royal highness, thoust been blessed with princely cat memes.  

Cats really do give an air of royalty. They sit on their thrones looking down on their kingdom below. They have an air of pretentiousness, pride, and "I'm better than you," cattitude. Princesses and princes have long occupied a main source of folktales through the ages. They wear crowns, live in castles, and sometimes go through a transformation. Across fairytales, folklore, and stories, royalty is a symbol of power, struggle, and identity. Traditionally, princesses were portrayed as gentle, demure, beautiful, and passive. Maybe even portrayed as wistfully gazing out of a high window in a tall tower, awaiting something more. And is your cat not unlike the wistful princess, dotingly wishing they could play outside with the birds and run around green grasses? These roles reflected values of the times, but they don't have to be any more. And a prince was brave, decisive, and heroic, saving a princess who's locked in a tower. Is your cat not unlike a brave prince, saving you everyday from succumbing to life's constant suffering? 

What makes princesses and princes so interesting is their ability to bridge the gap between something ethereal and earthly. They're lavished and rich, but also bereft and forced to go on their own journey. They're endowed with a burden that requires sacrifice, wisdom, and empathy. And just like your cat, they're here to make our lives more interesting, to pass the time from monotonous day to monotonous day. So enjoy these purrfect princes and prinesses in cats.
