Is there anything grander than the ancient spectacle of cat in a box? On the basis of the “If I Fits I Sits” hashtag trend, maybe, yes, perhaps there is. And that new thing would be pictures of cats trying their hardest to squeeze into small spaces, inappropriate nooks, and objects that are clearly not meant to be used as cat furniture. Here’s the finest selection of felines embracing the movement on Instagram.

This ginger trooper scores big for showcasing a steely determination toward the art of #ififitsisits.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about these two partners in cuteness. Excellent #ififitsisits work on display here.
