Cemeteries might have a spooky reputation, but they can also be peaceful and even beautiful. With no noisy crowds, intricate tombstones that tell stories of lives once lived, and lush greenery in the warmer months, they make for a surprisingly serene stroll.
And it seems animals have figured this out too—especially cats. These adorable felines have been spotted wandering through cemeteries, minding their own business (or perhaps keeping an eye on the local spirits). Scroll down to see them all and upvote your favorites!
