While we might not like to admit it all too much, sometimes our cat children are just plain mean. We could be indulging in a delightful cuddle session, when all of a sudden the belly that they had exposed for cuddles becomes a trap. A trap the likes of which you have no escape from, and suddenly the arm that you so timidly put forth for the pets has now become a scratching post of epic proportions. Leaving you lacking love and a whole lot of skin on your arm.

And like any sane hooman, you want revenge, for what did you do? Ask for some love? Or even sillier still, ask to give some love? Well, we have finally found the purrfect way to get back at your cat and that is to share their most unflattering photos to the internet, much like these pawrents have done with their cattos. No feline is safe from the scrutiny of the internet.

There is nothing quite like catching our usually elegant and well put together cat children in their more awkward and unflattering poses. Such as this one, which somewhat reminds us of being caught in a deep clean while showering.

This is one of those photos that, if it was of one of your friends, you would use to blackmail them by telling them you’ll upload it to their dating profile. It's just a shame that cats do not have public platforms of vanity where we can humiliate them in front of their peers…
