Some people genuinely prefer the company of cats to humans, but Rebeca Losada takes that notion to bizarre and artful extremes in this series featuring [feline-faced people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-volume-2). Distinctive human attributes like [stylish hairdos, makeup and clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats) have all been transplanted onto cat creatures that pose in very recognizably human manners, and the result is a collection of images that are strangely magnetic in its oddity. Couple that bizarre concept with impressive rendering skills and you have a gallery that will induce double-takes regularly.

Rebeca Losada, for those unfamiliar, is a prolific illustrator who’s already stirring up a storm on Tumblr with her [weird and well-executed paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection). Her work is frequently featured on trendy apparel and her technical skills continue to improve with each successive image. Expect to see many animals when browsing her blog or portfolio.
