Funniest Things People Say To Their Cats To 'Admonish' Their Felines When They're Doing Things They Know They're Not Allowed To Do

If you have a cat, then one thing that you learn over time is that cats do whatever they want whenever they want to. They're independent… when they're not screaming at you to give them food. They don't need no human… except for when they get their claws stuck in a curtain and think they're going to perish. Cats… they know the rules.

When cats steal food right off your plate, they know they're not allowed to do it. When cats ruin your puzzle and you cry, they know that's not a good thing. When your cats hide in some ridiculous place and make you think they ran away and give you a heart attack and you yell at them in relief when you find them… they know they're not supposed to do it again. But they do it anyway. Because they know the rules. And they don't care. And we love them for it.

Listen… we are no longer going to let people shame us for talking to our cats! They're part of the family, and they will be treated as such. The fact that they are a highly annoying family member who definitely knows the rules and does not care about them is beside the point.

We always tell our cats to explain themselves when they do something that we know they know they're not allowed to do. And although all we hear is meowing in return, we imagine that what they're saying to us is something along the lines of "I wanted to do it, so I did it, and you will deal with it." And we will. We will deal with it.
