It is no big secret that cats are diabolically clever. Their smarts bring to mind early 2000s cartoons such as Pinky and the Brain, except for cats. And today we have been lucky enough to get ahold of several of the naughtiest criminal cat masterminds as well as the crimes which they have committed. Serving both as an enjoyable foray into the world of feline hijinks, but also as a warning for any and all feline pawrents, because when you have a felonious feline at home, you never quite know what they are going to think up next.

So at least with this collection you will have a barely fighting chance to be one step ahead of their shenanigans and be able to spare yourself some of the madness which they love to get involved in. so hold onto your hats and apparently loaves of bread (they particularly like stealing those) as we step into the world of the cat children who have most certainly ended up on Santa's Naughty List this year, and with very good reason.

    This little one has a thing for loafs for bread she will drag it either to the room or restroom and leave it there not even eat it once she left a whole loaf behind the dryer till we found it the next day still intact

  • You know this is a weirdly common one. But we kind of understand the cats who are drawn to loaves of bread. After all, think about this from a cat’s perspective. Bread especially the sliced kind in bags tends to be super soft, squishy and comfy to lay upon. What else fits that description? A pillow. Which means that our cats have managed to figure out that pillows are awesome and they are simply looking for a pillow that is appropriate for their size. Not to mention that it is a bonus to have a pillow you can monch on…

    Even though I feed them more than enough, they got on top of the fridge while I was at work and knocked their food off so they could feast. They also knocked my fiancée's plant down. Sent this picture to the family group chat and told them every single cat is going to the shelter the next day. I didn't follow through and the heathens still plague me today.

    Honorable mention to the Lego's that have been chomped (RIP Millennium Falcon), and the MacBook screen used for a teething ring.

    Our Tom kept jumping on the garage door opener and unplugging it. It took oodles of double sided tape to get him to stop.

  • This. Is. Diabolical. It is well known that cats are not fans of us leaving the home every day to go to work. After all, we do essentially represent their access to food, which as any pawrent will tell you is probably the most important part of a cat’s life. But for a cat to figure out that the garage door opener could stop their pawrents from leaving for work and then figuring out how to unplug it, is next level genius stuff. We are no longer safe people…

    Our Bean will throw up or go to the bathroom somewhere else instead of the litter box if I visit with my mother too long for more than one day consecutively. Still love him regardless.

    This guy. His name is Keanu Boscoe-Smythe, and he's my little nerd boy. He is sweet, and loving... to me. And to our other cats, and to fosters (he's amazingly sweet and patient with fosters). He needs to get under the covers with me every night. (I am his emotional support human.) And he doesn't want anything to do with most humans, though he's been slowly adding a few more to his "acceptable" list. In his perfect world, he would almost never see humans from the windows of our cabin.

    There's that time my cats pushed out the insulation around my window unit and climbed out in the roof. I wasn't home, but my neighbors were kind enough to send me this photo.

    He keeps scratching my shoes. I had to leave a pair of tired old beaters out just so he can scratch those. Look at this big stinker...

    Teddy likes to bring in his BFFs, which happen to be snakes. It starts every spring and runs into the fall. We started counting one year in late March - he got to 38 by May 22nd. We stopped counting.

    I'm hoping our now 2 year old is outgrowing this- but she would chew through all kinds of cords it got expensive after my husband had to order a replacement for his computer- TWICE! She also chewed through the cord to her electric water fountain, which meant we bought a new motor unit replacement. Finally we wised up and got cord protector sleeves to put over every exposed line to the tele, laptops, phones, ... such a rascal!!

    My calico, Mooncake, is a trash eater. We have to make sure we have strings, yarn, qtips, hairbands or any stretchy materials out of her reach otherwise she eats them. This little menace would mange to open the lid of trash cans to get rubber bands out of it. Had to stop having the pharmacy use bands to hold my prescriptions together. We found this out due to her needing a massive y in 2020. The vet removed a literal ball of trash from her stomach. Here's her in what we've dubbed her Cone cake e

    Steal my hair ties, attack my calves as I go downstairs, rip up my toilet paper, move my living room rug to dinning room, shred my kitchen foam mat, throw up on my clean clothes, jump on my head while I am sleeping, make me feel like an a hat with her pitiful looks when I correct her, chewing on my special edition dungeons and dragons player hand book, taking off with my stuffies, going on kitchen counter when I leave room and then pretending she isn't in my view as she does whatever, climbing T
