Goats Are Doing Parkour And It's THE BEST
It’s official, goats have replaced cats as the Internet’s most-loved animal — especially now that they’re doing goat parkour . Oh yes, you read that right. "Goat parkour" is very real, and it’s very adorable. Many, many thanks the folks over at Modern Farmer for providing us with this goldmine of goat parkour videos.

A couple months ago, someone started a subreddit dedicated to goat parkour videos. However, they weren't the only ones putting a spotlight on our favorite horned friends. Wired, HuffPo, Slate, and numerous other sources noted the trend. Taylor Swift joined in by featuring a goat in her music video for Trouble . (Just kidding, that video was just a beautiful product of YouTube, not Swift.) They even started getting special treatment in the form of tiny wheelchairs.
(Sorry, cats. You knew this day would come eventually.)
