The Most Hissterical Things That Cats Do To Purposefully Annoy Their Humans: ICanHasCheezburger Edition

For this week's challenge, being that it's the first week of 2023, we thought that it was only right to start it with some mischief and shenanigans by asking you to tell us about the funniest things that your cats to do to annoy you on purpose. And you guys sure did not disappoint.

We already know that cats are scheming little hellions. Sometimes - rarely - they do things that annoy us/ freak us out without meaning to. But most of the time - let's be honest - they do it on purpose. What else would explain why cats take over our Zoom calls at the most inappropriate moments? Or why our cats follow us to the bathroom all the time to yell at us? Or why cats sit right on top of our laptop when we're trying to use it. You can come up with as many explanations as you want, but Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is probably right, and the simplest explanation is that they're doing it on purpose.

Audrey will also employ several ways to get me awake and up when she decides I should be: sticks her tongue up my nose, hooks one of my nostrils with one claw and pulls, bites my armpits, or drops a toy mouse in my mouth.
She also likes to set up stalk-attack-kill drills with toy mice in the middle of the kitchen floor when I'm working with boiling sugar syrup."
