Don't let how fluffy and adorable cats are fool you. Behind their precious paws and adorable purring, cats are criminal masterminds, equipped with murder mittens and the capability of concocting diabolical plans.

If you’re a cat owner, this will come as no surprise to you. But if your fur babies are not of the feline persuasion, you might be surprised to hear about some of the most mischievous “cat crimes” that have ever been committed.

Premee Mohamed recently tweeted about how the crime rate in her home has increased exponentially since she adopted a cat, and many other cat lovers were inspired to share their own pets’ criminal records. So enjoy scrolling through this hilarious list that might make you want to handcuff (paw-cuff?) your own little kitty, and keep reading to find conversations we were lucky enough to have with Premee, cat expert Heather Svoboda Miller, Communications and Development Manager at Cat Adoption Team, and Certified Cat Behavior Expert Rita Reimers. And remember to upvote the responses that you think would earn a cat felon some serious street cred!

Woke up this morning to one of my cats lying across me with his arm out stretched like that around my neck, so cute. The second I reach for my camera to take a photo of his cuteness and he sits bolt upright and starts posing for the camera instead!

    Mine brings me things while I sleep but she's definitely not quiet about it. She makes the standard "mighty hunter dragging home prey" noise for a while before she leaves it on the floor outside my bedroom. Then she gets in bed with me and lays across my legs so that I can't move. :)

    No, that's my wiki. And your cats wiki. And every cats wiki. Actually, I think every cat has the same wiki.

    That face looks like someone is not amused to be woken up to a camera in his face - that's not going to bode well for you Susan, no no, not at all.

    Every water pitcher. Every glass. Toilet. Pulls flowers out of vase to drink gross water. Has lovely refreshing fountain and another bowl. Hates them.

    Bouche hides her toy mice in the bathtub. The first time I discovered I wasn't alone in the tub was rather embarrassing.

    She looks like my Belladonna! Tuxedos are so special. When she would do this I would call her Mother Purr-esa.

    My Maine c**n hides his toys so his brothers can't find them. Yesterday I bought him a bag full of various cat toys and he spent ages on my bed playing with them and then when he was done he took his time to find his favourite toys and hid them in his bed (that none of the other cats use) and then ran off to play outside. He's done this since he was a kitten, he'll leave the toys he's not so bothered about, but his favourite ones must be hidden and cannot be played with by the others!

    My personal fav is when you hear an ALMIGHTY CRASH at 3 in the morning, but when you go investigate, not a single thing is broken or out of place.

    Mines do the exact same c**p, they basically fight with their water bowl, spill most if not all the water on the floor ( luckelly its a tile floor ), and then i have to get them more water, and the cicle begins again.... ( I found out that the best time to fill the bowl, is when the 2 a******s are sleeping, that way they don't fight it )

    I attempted to grow cat mint (also referred to as cat smack in my family) a few years ago, got the young plants home and within minutes one was completely devoured and cat spent a good hour spaced out of her gourd under a bench in the garden
