23 Crafty Cats Caught Committing Crimes and Making Their Owners Lives Hilariously Difficult

Yes, you have read the title correctly. This listicle is indeed all about cats committing crimes. No, that's not a metaphor, it's not a joke. We're being literal. Cats are criminals, and they are shameless criminals at that. Cats will steal food right off your plates. Cats will steal dogs' beds from them without any reason. Cats will commit full-blown robberies and steal sausages from grocery stores. We have seen it! But we knew that, as much as we have seen, there had to be more.

So, we asked you guys - our pawmazing ICHC readers, to tell us about the most heinous crimes that your cats have committed. We knew that you would not disappoint us with your answers, and you definitely did not. We expected some crazy shenanigans, things that our cats would deserve serving time for, but we did not expect this level of ridiculousness and hilarity. We truly did not.

This is indeed a case of obvious kidnapping. A crime of the highest degree. And to capture an animal as regal and wonderful as the owl! Mean, criminal, but… impressive, we do have to say. As small as the owl may have been, its fierceness cannot be understated.

Now, this crime might even be worst. Because while the owl could be saved from the cat and released back into the wild, the popcorn chicken cannot be returned to its rightful owner. This is tragic is what it is, as well as hilarious.

$�Top fan Jamie Belden Assault and Battery: accidentally knocked a 10-lb metal lamp onto my husband's sleeping face 5 feet down (lamp was knocked off the dresser, mattress was on the floor). The pointed finial on top punctured his cheek and he had to get X-rayed to make sure his face wasn't fractured.$
