Individually, cats and snow are already very strong internet fodder. But when you combine the two together, magic happens.

This week, Europe has been hit by cold weather and snowstorms dubbed "The Beast from the East". Everyone from commuters to pets has been affected. But while some have found shelter indoors, others have been embracing the icy conditions.

Look, here's an acrobatic feline attempting to catch a snowball in glorious slow motion.

And here's another, slightly less successful, attempt.

Other cats, meanwhile, were less keen on the whole snow thing.

Embrace that snow, cats. You too could be catching snowballs and garnering sweet internet fame.
