"cat bearding” is now a thing

If your social media newsfeeds have been full of selfies of your friends with incredibly long beards that resemble cats you’ve experienced “cat bearding” the latest craze to hit social media since #FF or #TBT. 

The history of cat bearding, while short and sweet to date (the first cat beard was uploaded in 2011, spawning a single blog topic called – you  guessed it – catbeards.com – and accelerated the trend in early 2012, prompting cat beard photos uploaded a few weeks ago to get over 50,000 notes in 24 hours), proves that for some reason, cats rule the interwebs.
