Cat and Owl Combine to Form the Adorably Bizarre "Meowl"

If you're a fan of owls and cats, then it's time to rejoice. A Meowl is the best of both worlds in a bizarre-yet-adorable combination of bird and feline. Like the wonderfully-punned name suggests, it's a cat's head that's superimposed on an owl's body. The mythical creatures appear surprisingly natural as the coloring and patterning on their fur and feathers seems to effortlessly complement one another. Who knew that they could pair so well together?

Imagine if the Meowls were real. Mice everywhere would have twice as much to fear, and no fragile valuable would be safe on a shelf that's too high. The curiosity of a cat could now go anywhere!
