21 Cute and Clever Cats Outsmarting Their Hoomans With Pawsitively Petty Precision

Cats? Breaking the rules? Who would have thought such a thing could even be pawssible? (Said no cat owner ever).

Everyone feline pawrent knows that cats love to break every single rule in existence. Even the laws of physics! They purrfectly defy gravity as easily as breathing, they can fit through the tiniest spaces by turning their bones into noodles, and they love to go exactly where you tell them not to. In fact, if you want your cat to do something, you'll be better off by telling them not to do it. The only thing cats haven't seem to meowster yet is reverse psychology. At least we still have the advantage over them in that regard.

Fur today's example, we're dealing with a pawblem that literally every feline household has - the eternal battle of keeping your cats off the kitchen counters. Purrhaps it's the cold of the tile, because it's close to all the tasty snackos, or simply because they can, but they pawsitively love perching exactly where they're not supposed to. And we may shoo them away, but they will always find a tiny technicality to hop back up. A towel, a plate, a box, or even on top of some food - they're technically not on the counter, and you have to admit, they beat you this time. These pics are hissterical, silly, and purrfectly relatable to all of us servants of the feline overlords. Enjoy!

  • Ah, yes, this diagram is purrfectly helpful. As you can clearly see, the cat is not on the counter. Technically, we can't get mad at them, even though we want to. But with a face like that, could you really get angry with them? You can't. In fact, you should probably give them a treat for being so cute.

  • Technically, they're not on the table, so they've won again. How are we supposed to make them understand that they're not supposed to be on anything on the table either? We think it's a lost cause. With cats, you have to pick your battles. This one seems like a mewt point.
