The beautiful thing about cats is that even their worst pictures are purrfectly adorable. Of the thousands of pictures of our purrecious felines on our phones, the "worst" ones are the photos we cherish the most. They make us think, "We can't believe we get to expurrience this pawsitively ridiculous creature living with us every day" in the best way pawssible. Whether it's catching them in the middle of a yawn, mid-fall from their cat tree, or when they're asleep in one of their purrfectly contorted pawsitions, we treat these pics like the gems they are - irreplaceable.

Because we are cat pawrents ourselves, we know that each and every cat owner has these same purrfectly scrungy cat pictures that they secretly love stored somewhere on their devices. We also know that cat lovers love nothing more than scrolling through silly-billy felines, so we put two and two together to make this purrfect listicle of the "worst cat pictures ever" that are actually pieces of treasure.

These pawrents submitted their pics for us to see, so treat them with care, give them a good giggle, and then go hug your cats for us. And snap a pic of them looking like this. It's a memory you won't want to furget.

What a lady! Or gentleman. We can't tell (thankfully) because of the purrfectly placed emoji. One meowment, you think cats are the most graceful creatures on this planet, and the next, they look like this.

We absolutely lose it when cats get upset and look like this. It's always for a reason that does not deserve such a face, like the fact that they were fed five minutes later than normal. They're such funny little drama queens!
