These cat comparison photos present hilarious images of felines that resemble popular Game of Thrones characters.

GQ comically puts together these adorable feline photos that will make any fan of George R. R. Martin’s work squeal from the pure cuteness. Most of the cat depictions are spot on, just like Margaery Tyrell’s cat depiction and especially the false king’s Joffrey Baratheon’s cat equivalent. I would have said the cat depicting Daenerys Stormborn was spot on, but it was missing three dragons: the very least to include would have been dragon eggs.

For those who are fans of both cats and Game of Thrones, these images provide a win-win situation. It's surprising how accurate these depictions really are.
