Snapchat launches new filters for your pets

Photo-messaging app Snapchat has rolled out new filters specifically for cats that will now make it look like your pet is wearing glasses.

The photo messaging app, known for its extensive collection of photo filters, revealed the newest update in a tweet, The Independent reported late on Saturday.

"Lenses. For cool cats and their cool cats. Try them meow," the company wrote on the microblogging site Twitter, alongside clips of the new filters, which include devil wings, glasses, unicorn horns, flower crowns and animal ears.

According to filter creator Chris Higa, previously, the app's filters have only worked on humans and dogs.

To use the new cat-friendly filters, Snapchat users can simply click on their pet's face through the lens of the app, which will bring up lenses with a paw icon on them.
