We all know at this point that cats are heckin' weird, right? That's not news to anyone, correct? Yes, good. We have seen cats do some incredibly weird things both in our time writing for ICanHasCheezburger and in our time of just being cat owners. Cats will do the kinds of things sometimes that we truly make us wonder if they are… okay. Remember that cat that was obsessed with almonds? Not eating it, just being with it. How about the cat that loves to eat cucumbers? Eating it this time, yes. And what about the cat who loves watching The Grinch over and over? Yes, that one specific movie.

We shall say it again for those in the back - cats are so weird. And even louder, we shall say that this is exactly why we love them so much. And when we asked you guys to tell us about some of the weirdest things that you've caught your cats doing when they thought you weren't looking, well… let's just say that your answers proved to us that you love your cats' weirdness just as much as we do.
