For most pet owners, taking a family portrait obviously means including your gaggle of critters —dressing them up in little sweaters (or trying to) is like, 90% of the reason you love the holiday season. But one YouTuber has gone above and beyond the call of pet parent duty and taken the holiday pet celebration to the next level: By corralling his 10 cats until they spelled out the words “Happy New Year 2016.”

YouTube user 10 Cats has, um, 10 cats, and he devotes most of his channel to chronicling their adorable moments.
