“Mew Reed” and “The Furry Underground”: that’s the history of rock & roll as envisioned by a new Tumblr blog.

Launched on October 31, The Kitten Covers improves the looks of classic album covers by replacing distinctly uncuddly musicians with adorable kittens.

The blog has only ten posts, but already, it has thousands of notes and reblogs from fans.
