As the coronavirus emergency continues to develop, and as more and more people are going into self-isolation, we are soon discovering that there is only so much Netflix we can watch before we feel like we are going crazy.
However, some people in self-isolation are turning to their feline friends for boredom busting inspiration.
Many cat owners have posted photos of their whiskered self-isolation buddies on Twitter, turning #quarantinecats into a trending term.
From playful kittens to grumpy cats and renditions of The Lion King, #quarantinecats offer us a chance to keep our sense of humour and indulge in some cuteness, despite difficult circumstances. Have a look at some of our favourite furry friends below.
