You know what they say about cats and curiosity, right? It's a good thing that cats have 9 lives, or else they would be in for a world of trouble! If you're a cat owner, you know how cats have a proclivity for getting themselves into all sorts of mischief. Whether walking into the bathroom to see a little cat head sticking out of the toilet bowl to finding your cat hanging from a ceiling fan, there is no end to the depths of their curiosity.

Since we can only help but laugh at our cats' silly shenanigans, we found a bunch of other feline fanatics who took to the internet to talk about the times, how can we say this nicely, played hide-and-seek with their better judgment. Don't worry, no chaotic kitties were harmed in the making of this listicle, but a lot of laughs (and baths, as you'll see below) were!

    My cat was trying to greet me while coming home and pin missled straight through my front window and destroyed it (she's perfectly fine and has no cuts or scratches)

    Once, our cat got so focused on a bird that it ran straight into the glass door. Thankfully, it wasn't hurt, and we thought for sure he had learned his lesson. 10 minutes later, he did the same thing with another bird! When will they ever learn?

    MKovacsM 10 hr. ago LOL, the window broke??! PK, one of my past cats, the naughty one, always in some scrape or other, Chased a cicada up a tree. She was maybe 9 months old, loved cicadas, nom, nom. Pity I didn't have a video. It was like a cartoon. It went up the tree, she went up the tree - all this at lightening speed....as she got to the top, the cicada flew, she flew too. Straight out after it with no hesitation. That's where it got interesting, she was in midair doing that cartoon cat padd

    We can only imagine how this must have looked in person. Living with a cat is like living in a Wile E. Coyote cartoon because they're always jumping off of things without thinking about landing first! Thank goodness they always land on their feet.

    colossalpunch 3 hr. ago Russian Blue We have a bidet attachment and I accidentally left the toilet seat up once. I was abruptly woken up by what sounded like loud water/air flowing. Cat jumped up on the toilet and activated the bidet. I turn the corner to see a stream of water jetting out of the toilet onto the wall across from it as the cats ran away in fear.

    motsicat 10 hr. ago My boy Momo likes to follow me into the bathroom and watch me do stuff (he stands for no privacy), and so he ran in ahead of me to jump on the toilet seat so he can get up on the counter. Except that someone didn't put the cover down, and so he did a swan dive into the toilet bowl. Flew back out absolutely soaked. Laughed until I cried because it was as hilarious as pitiful, and had to wash him off after. Silly cat, I love him dearly.

    wewerelegends · 9 hr. ago I once found my cat hanging from the ceiling by his claws. I had so many questions. Like, how was he expecting to get down if I hadn't been there? (He was very young/small still so it was a long way down)

    jat937 · 8 hr. ago Mine went spelunking in the vent system of our house- she must have pulled up one of the vent covers and was down there for hours. We turned off the gas furnace and tried to coax her out with food, treats, calling, all to no avail. I was crying on the phone with the fire department and plotting how I would cut through the basement ceiling into the vent system to rescue her when she popped out of another vent, covered in dust and looking pleased with herself.

    Towtruck_73 · 4 hr. ago When I last had cats in my house, the elder cat, if she's outside unsupervised would want to go into the ceiling cavity. Of course she'd come down filthy so we'd have to bathe her. Didn't matter how many times, she never learned, yowling and swearing as we washed her. For about an hour she was grooming herself and scowling at us. Her younger sister would look at her as if she's thinking "you got in trouble!"

    Jettcat- 9 hr. ago My manx loved to drink from a drinking glass rather than his bowl. He jumped up on the kitchen counter and saw my glass, but it wasn't the same size that he usually drank out of. He got stuck, panicked and ricocheted all over the room trying to get it off his head. When I could breathe again, I got it off his head and he looked insulted and refused to cuddle until 2am.

    notwiththeflames - 8 hr. ago Set himself on fire. I wish I could say I was kidding. If the stovetop is left unsupervised while there's food cooking, he likes to jump up and stick his head in the flames because he makes up for what he lacks in a self-preservation instict with unbridled gluttony. Usually, it results in singed whiskers - but once he turned around and managed to set the end of his tail alight for a few seconds.

    Spare-Ad525 9 hr. ago 1. Eating the cream of early gray pie and poisoning himself and costing his hooman $1600 for all the X- rays, blood works etc at the vets that lead to nothing. He eventually passed all the toxins and he was fine

    2.8months after that event, decided to drink soapy left over water in the shower and exhibited the same symptoms. This time around, the hooman learned from event #1 and didn't take him to the vet and he eventually recovered again

    Small_Poppy_Seed - 8 hr. ago We had a funny outdoor cat who did lots of funny things. The two memorable incidents was stealing a dish soap from the neighbor and bringing to me as a gift. She got upset when I threw it in the trash and kept yelling next to the trash. The other funny incident was imprinting her paw in fresh cement right after pouring it while doing construction. She's currently spayed and adopted by a wonderful family but we love seeing her signature on our house.

    shotgunhanny. 10 hr. ago I have a few collapsible Ikea laundry baskets, my cat attempted to jump on one to get on the counter while running. It then collapsed under the weight and he slammed into the cabinet door. Kitty was fine however I died laughing. Only happened once

    Graega 7 hr. ago I used to eat a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. One day, my then-16 or so year old siamese mix decided that, after 16 years, she really wanted to know what was inside the peanut butter jar. It was so unexpected; one moment she was just sitting on the arm of the couch, the next, her entire head was shoved inside it. It was a very long night in the tub. NOBODY was happy about it.

    Misslasagna 7 hr. ago My previous kitty Sybil (RIP) stuck her head into this cubby, and picked up her food with her paw (she would do that; feed herself like a person, kibble by kibble), and then tried to eat it through the fabric wall. I wish I could share the video this is a screenshot from.
