20 Hilarious Photos That Purrfectly Encapsulate The Ridiculous Reality Of Living With Cats

The reality of living with cats… is that it's both a lot harder and a lot funnier than people think. You know, people who have never lived with cats tend to think that cats are boring pets, that cats don't really do anything other than sleep and eat. And while that is true for about 85% of a cat's existence, those remaining 15%… truly keep you on your toes.

We know, as cat owners, that the reality of living with cats means your cat starting to zoom across your house in the middle of nowhere for now heckin' reason. We know that it means your cat interrupting every Zoom call that you have no matter who you're talking to or what your cat was doing before it started. We know that it means that sometimes, your cat will stare at a wall for hours on end for no explainable reason, and you will be left wondering if there are ghosts in your house. We know that, and today, if you're someone who hasn't lived with cats, the following pictures will show that.

"He's the most mischievous cat I've ever had, so he can be good for some internet karma.
His possibly weirdest behavior is that he really likes the Roomba, so at random times throughout the day he'll go, turn it on, and just follow his "friend" around the house. At nighttime I've taken to flipping the thing over so he can't turn it on at 3am."
