Cats love to play the "cool and disconnected" character, but deep down, we know that they're all secretly derpy divas. It's our job as cat owners to reveal their inner truth for the whole internet to see!

We're convinced that cameras were invented for the sole purrpose of exposing cats' true nature. We know that there are lots of other things to take pictures of, but literally none of them interest us except for cats. And if you're reading this too, we think there's a good chance that you probably agree with us. And since the invention of cameras, people have been taking pictures of their cats (amongst other things, of course). Since then, cat lovers have been on a purrsonal vendetta to show people that cats aren't as cool, calm, and collected as they like to be purrceived as.

What do you think of when you think of cats? You think of sleek, fluffy creatures that always land on their feetsies. Of cute creatures that nap all day, swat at you if you pet them too many times, and are hesitant around other hoomans. But, cats are quite the opposite! They're actually the silliest creatures we let live in our houses, and these purrfectly documented pics below are our proof.

The immaculate images below show felines fully embracing the derp within, and believe us, they have more derp inside than you could ever imagine. If we had to give you one example, it would be that we've caught our cat trying to chew on the hanging metal switch on our lamp than we can count. It's not edible, nor is it remotely tasty (we tried). And yet, it's still their furvorite pastime.

This is just one of many things we can tell you, but it's easier to show you, which is why we've collected all these hilariously funny felines caught on camera. They can't hide it anymore, these purrfect pictures are furrever immortalized on the internet, and now their secret it out. We only hope we don't come home to find something in all of our shoes when we get home.

When we say “hold your cat's head gently, like a burger”, this is exactly what we mean. He has been burgered. Or rather…. cheezburgered.

Please see exhibit A above. Black cat attempts to eat the metal switch that turns on the lamp to no avail. This happens every night.
