The Curiously Courageous Cat: 20 Photos of Risky Frisky Kitties Who Took One Paw Too Far

We all know the old proverb, "curiosity killed the cat," but do we think the cats heard it too? Their mischievousness and perilousness let them jump to new heights, but sometimes it's met with their downfall…

Cat's love to explore places they shouldn't, and often times it gets the better of them. Maybe they don't end up with one of their nine lives missing, but they could be stuck in a dangerous situation they can't get out of. This is where the handsome fireman comes in to save a cat from a tree. Or when you hear distant meowing outside only to see your cat stuck in a pothole. These silly playful creatures never learn, do they? They get into some funky business. Whether they're falling, running, stuck, stuffed, crammed, scratching, or holding on for dear life, here's a collection of hissterical images of cats getting the worst of curiosity's fate.

What is this cat sniffin'? Is he trying to smell it or lick it? We wonder what his inner monologue is. Maybe something like this: 'Oooh such a pretty candle…flame so bright…flame so pretty…me want to touch it…sniff it…lick it'

What did this kitty expect? He got so close to the edge of the tub, he can see it's water, and whoopsie daisy, he falls in. At least his owners are glad he got that much needed bath. He was starting to smell for awhile…
