  Despite this, four in 10 cat owners love their pets even more because of their antics and 91 percent found it impossible to be cross with their cat.

  

  "You can never be entirely sure what they'll do next, but for many owners, this is what brings a smile to our faces and makes having a cat such a delight," said Toby Chelton, spokesman for Felix, which commissioned the research.

  Seventy-two percent admit their cat has a habit of poking its nose into places it does not belong – with the washing machine and the bath being prime examples among those polled.

  

  But despite this, nine in 10 said their lovable furballs have made them laugh out loud. The research also found 57 percent of cat owners think their feline friends tend to be naughtier as dinner time draws nearer and almost half said their cats are such avid foodies they will help themselves to their owner's dinner when they are not looking.
