It’s a rule universally acknowledged that cats pretty much own the internet.

Barely a day goes by where our social media feeds aren't awash with adorable cats doing adorable things - garnering millions of shares and likes, and even millions in revenue for their owners.

But while all cats are good cats, some cats are more famous than others - and for all kinds of different reasons too.

To celebrate International Cat Day, we’ve rounded up we’ve rounded up some of the most powerful cats in the world - from political mousers to cat influencers.

Some of these four-legged fluffballs are well known for their high-profile owners, such as Taylor Swift’s beloved Scottish Fold cats, and others have gained fame in their own right - simply by pulling a grumpy expression.

Here in London, we’re a city of cat lovers. According to statistics, the capital has more than 800 cats per square mile, and there are 7.5 million household cats in the UK in total. Basically, there’s a lot of sassy attitude and aloof window watching on our streets.

But whether you’re a cat person or not, (and really why wouldn’t you be?!), there’s sure to be a famous feline or two you’ll recognise in our gallery above.
