Cat was just born to be a ballerina

Sadly, most cats are sorely underrepresented in the ballet world.

But that doesn't mean they don't have talent. Just take a look at Miruko the cat, a Japanese ballerina cat who recently made international waves. Miruko isn't just your ordinary cat -- he's a cat with phenomenal posture.

This cat accepts pets and performs purrrrouettes. Honestly, what more do you want out of an animal?

Of course, the cat doesn't really know all these balletic moves, but rather has a very graceful form and an owner who is quick to photograph it.

Miruko was rescued last summer by Twitter user Chia and her husband. At this time of his adoption, Miruko was an emaciated stray. Now, Miruso is a star ballerina (almost) ready to grace the stage of the Sydney Opera House or Lincoln Center.

Or maybe he's just really really cute. Either way, enjoy Miruko's form and grace and adorable predatory behavior.

And please, do not try this at home. You are not a cat ballerina.
