There are no shortage of stories regaling the adventures of feisty felines acting out or simply lighting the match and watching the world burn around them. They get some sort of sick pleasure for the act and then still come to you begging for treats, as if we would want to compliment them on a job well done. And while these acts are rather horrifying to handle IRL, when viewed from behind the comfort and safety of a screen they can be quite hilarious. Which is why we set out on this exploration of the clawminality of feisty felines with this list of cats caught red-pawed doing exactly what they were told not to do.

From the outspoken cattos who in the absence of a higher power in the form of their pawrents began to create cat cults to fill the power vacuum, to the camo cat who has purrfectly placed himself upon one of the stairs in his home, just lying in wait for his first unsuspecting victim, to the crafty cat who has been stealing sips of water from his pawrents' glasses for over 17 years before being caught.

You tell them to behave themselves, you try to explain the concept of personal space and intrusion and why they are not acceptable in hooman society. But do they listen? No, they really do not. Just as is exemplified by this clawminal cat. We can hardly imagine what series of unfortunate events led to this moment.

The joy on this kitten's face just goes to show how much of cat DNA is based around being naughty and disregarding the rules. Which is why this catto only smiled after being caught, because they love being acknowledged for their work. Which makes disciplining that much more difficult.
