17 Conniving Cats Caught In The Act Of Mischief: ICanHasCheezburger Edition

If there's one thing we know for sure it's that cats are evil geniuses. Not only are they incredibly intelligent, but they're also very much mischievous. So when you combine the two, you're left with a furry little criminal that will do just about anything and everything to make sure you know no peace. Whether it's knocking things off the highest shelf in the house or breaking and entering into other people's homes, cats keep us on our toes and there's no going about it.

We recently turned to our ICanHasCheezburger community on Facebook and asked them to share a photo of their cats caught in a moment of mischief. And let's just say that their replies did not disappoint. Get ready for tons of funny felines acting like their true selves - delinquent criminals. As you scroll through these, we hope you're reminded of how lucky we are to have cats in our lives. Because let's be honest, if it weren't for cats - our lives would be oh-so-boring.

"Not my cat. My neighbour's. Not sure where he's been but he always visits my garden (he knows I have treats) He looks much better now after a vet appointment to have a good bath"
Classic cat. Go to neighbors, pretend like you're a stray, score a free bath and treats, leave. Yup, sounds about right.

Our favorite part about all of this mischief is that they have absolutely 0 regrets. Look at this guy right here, clearly caught in the moment of doing something he shouldn't be doing and what does he do? Give a dirty look to the owner as if they're the problem. Classic cat.
