Let's be honest, cats are pretty fricken wonderful. We honestly could never understand people who say they hate cats. How could one hate a tiny helpless little creature that depends on humans for survival? Only a monster could. But if we're being completely honest, cats aren't limited to their helplessness and we sort of understand where people may be coming from. Because let's be honest, a cat does have the tendency to be a little bit of bum hole. Whether that's by pushing things off every surface or purposefully avoiding that new cat bed you just bought them - cat logic is something else. 

And guess what? We found the purrfect Tumblr thread to prove it. Get ready for stories on stories about cats being mischievous hooligans and the most wanted criminals alive. As you read through these, we hope you're reminded of the joys and wonders of what it means to be a cat parent. Enjoy!

    Font - hoppers-eleven My neighbor is a hardcore drunk. Like, 9am and dude is drinking vodka, but he had a cat that's pretty much his honest to god caregiver because I have seen this cat visibly screaming at this man to keep him from hurting himself and sometimes when he hasn't been outside for a while, the cat will scream at my door until I go outside to knock on the door to check on him. Cats are literal angels.

    Wow. We have no words, only gratitude for our cats

    Font - artaeum the cat who lives at the vet clinic i volunteer at was mad yesterday because his dinner was half an hour late due to a busy day. he proceeded to go to all the (empty dw) garbage cans and tried to knock them over and started desperately scavenging for scraps of food because obviously no one loves him or cares about him and if he must eat garbage to survive then so be it

    Font - lord-kitschener Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they're tragic famine victims who haven't eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you're 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me

    Rectangle - instructionsfordancing not food related, but one time my cat cried at me for 20 minutes before i worked out that the reason why she was upset was because there was a coat hanger on her favourite cushion

    Font - goldenmeme My cat is a social eater who is not food motivated at all, so I was baffled when I first got him because he didn't seem to care about food but he would SCREAM at me for hours when I knew his bowl was full. Any time I went to double check that he did indeed have food, he'd book it to the bowl and snarf like his life depended on it, but as soon as I walked away he'd follow me screaming again.

    Font - Eventually I figured out that he just wanted a dining companion and was screaming about how we're a family and families eat together, god damnit! I moved his food bowl under my computer desk and it fixed the problem. But if I'm ever out for more than 12 hours I'll come home to find him in a passive-aggressive kitty huff because dinner has been ready for hours but he's been trying to be considerate (unlike some humans) and waiting for me to eat it.

    Font - leeferal My cats are indoor cats. Being indoor cats, they can't go outside to hunt for food (mice, rats, birds, etc) to gift to my sister and I. But they know that the kitchen has food. They know where the easily accessible cat food is. And obviously my sister and I are just Really Big Stupid Hairless cats.

    Font - So if my sister and I go without leaving our rooms for too long? My cats will sit outside our doors and scream for our attention, lead us to their food bowls, and then only stop the screaming and leading once they see us sit down at the table and eat something. Because they think we're hungry.

    Font - dragonkitty I have a cat named a Kitty Pryde who has an extra thumb and these giant paws and while she's not super bright she did learn that she likes being pet. So I must like being petted right? So if I'm watching TV alone she'll come up and just with her giant paw gently stroke my arm or hand until I pet her back and she waits and pets me again and it goes on a while. Cats are angels.

    Font - befuddledlesbian my cat, like most cats, like to steal food from the kitchen surfaces. my dog doesn't like this because she can't reach, so she'll come and snitch to us that he's there so we can throw him off. so my cat started pushing bits of food off the surfaces to pay off the dog so she wouldn't tattle.

    Rectangle - grawlboy My cat used to do something similar, except she was never interested in eating the food. Back before our last dog passed away; Mittens (the cat) used to push food off the counter and watch Roxy (the dog) eat it.

    Font - sonneillonv Whenever I'm battling a depression downswing (I'm always depressed but some periods are worse than others) I tend to stay up very late. Part of this is that I have a delayed circadian rhythm, but part of it is that I sacrifice physical needs (sleep) for emotional needs (contact with friends, my favorite video game). My cat Sephie noticed this pattern. She already has a vocabulary that's distinct and understandable. She invented a new sound to make for "you need to go to bed, m

    Rectangle - So now, if I'm still up around 11pm, she jumps on my chair and scolds me that it's past my bedtime. She takes good care of me. 249,107 notes
