If you have been wronged by your cat child and feel the need for some revenge then look no further than this cathartic collection of unflattering feline photos that prove that cats are not as cool as they think they are.

Everyday they waltz around our homes like little primadonnas, waving their tails in the air like they just do not care. And the second that something goes out of place, they are up in your face about it, putting you down for what is truly a relatively minor indiscretion. It can be incredibly frustrating as a pawrent, especially as there is no way to get back at them. Mainly because any attempt to do so will result in them getting back at you even harder.

For example, if you dared to change their food out for the cheap stuff, and they will scream at you at three in the morning while standing on your chest until you give up the good stuff. So we made this collection of unflattering felines to give you a virtual way to get back at them, or at the very least to remind you that they are not as purrfect as they like to think that they are.

For each and every time someone says ‘oh cats are so graceful and dignified’ you can think back upon this image. A cat completely engorged and in quite the awkward position face smushed within an inch of its life. This particular photo is also a good one to come back to anytime your cat gives you a disapproving look as though to say ‘ew hooman, why do you look like that while you are eating? It is simply uncouth of you to behave in such a manner’. They think they are so purrfect, well the truth is they are not and this photo as well as all the others in this list prove it.

Is it a sneeze? Is it a laugh? It is hard to tell what the heck it is that is going on with this cat but whatever it is we are rather delighted to have it captured on camera. Cats often come across as such impeccably purrfect creatures. Not a single strand of fur sit out of place on them and not a single step is missed. Which makes our screw ups and their demeaning reactions to said screw ups all the tougher to swallow. But at least with this collection of unflattering felines we have some concrete evidence that they are not so purrfect themselves.
