This is the summer of superheroes. Colorful costumes and strange powers have never been more awesome — but it's still worth asking: what could make superheroes even better? How about if they were cats?

Think about it: the secret identity thing would be so much easier. Nobody would ever recognize a cat once he or she had taken off the costume. And cats can already control our minds and they own the internet, so adding a few more superpowers doesn't seem that much of a stretch. Here's our favorite art featuring cats in superhero costumes!
