Gifs we love: watch these bro cats giving high-fives!

What happens when the opposite worlds of bros and cats collide? A whole bunch of feline-to-human high-fiving, naturally. At least that’s what ensues in a bunch of animated gifs hovering around the Internet showing the Ed Hardy-sporting set inducing their kitties to raise a paw and show their appreciation. Surprisingly, the cats all seem fine with the trend.

In celebration of this new and somewhat queasy union, here are seven of the most bro-tastic examples of cats and their owners celebrating each other.
