The internet phenomenon of sharing cute videos of cats is to be celebrated in the "world's first" film festival dedicated to viral felines.
The Internet Cat Video Film Festival is set to take place on 30 August in Minneapolis, in the US.
The event is described as a chance for people to come together and "LOL [laugh out loud] in the presence of others".
Organiser Katie Czarniecki Hill said fans had until 30 July to nominate their favourite clips to be shown.
"I could not be more excited to literally bring this solo cat video viewing behaviour out in the open," Ms Hill wrote in a blog post announcing the event.
"Traditionally, we send these viral gems to one another via email or share them through various social media outlets.
"Some viewers (yours truly included) spend precious free time trolling the interwebs for hilarious 30-second clips of feline tomfoolery."
