Kate&Cat is a photo series that combines two of the Internet's favorite things -- cute cats and adorable kids. The photos are the work of Saint Petersburg, Russia-based photographer Andy Prokh. Prokh's pictures feature his 6-year old daughter indulging in a variety of activities -- including eating, drinking, reading and playing -- in the company of two adorable felines.
Interestingly, the cats pictured in Kate&Cats seem very cooperative as they were photographed in various seemingly staged positions. For example, one picture shows Kate overseeing a chess game between two of the cats. Both cats are seen sitting at the table with chess pieces neatly in place, with their paws outstretched to make it look like they're preparing to make a move.
Another photo shows one of the cats pushing another one on a stroller.
