Cat beards are the next big thing and as a nation full of animal lovers and social media obsessors, the cat beard craze is spreading like wild fire and we've got some of the best pics just for you...

Have you heard about cat beards? Like planking, photo bombing and other silly social media trends that have gone before them, this latest craze sees cat owners positioning their cat in front of their chin, so it looks like the cat's hairy head is in fact their mouth and beard, and taking a sneaky snap. Confused? You won't be for long - the cat beard craze is spreading like wild fire and we've got some of the best pics just for you.

From tabbies to mogs, turn your cat into a comical oversized beard and snap a pic just like these cat lovers. It's the purrrfect entertainment on a rainy Sunday afternoon. We've given each of these pictures a beard rating too.

We want to see your cat beard pics! The trick is to hold your feline friend in front of you and tickle him or her under the chin so she or he leans her head back. Upload your cat beard pics to our Facebook page, Tweet us with them @goodtoknow, or email them to goodtoknow@ipcmedia.com with the subject line 'Cat Beard Alert!'
