Cat owners, you might want to ask your pets to leave the room for the next few minutes. Bored Panda’s about to prove to you once again that some cats can be some of the biggest jerks on Planet Earth. And no, this isn’t just some dog-financed propaganda to sway you to the side of best boys and girls! (R-really!)

Upvote your fave photos of cats acting naughty as you scroll down below into the wild lands of feline jerkitude. And don’t forget to share any similar pics of your meanie meowhole felines in the comment section. Need some more proof that far from every feline is a noble big cat with a regal bearing and great meowners? Check out Part 1 of our series about independent and curious cat pranksters right here. How we act around cats can have a real effect on how they behave. For instance, one study showed that cats were much more social and spent much more time with people who were paying attention to them than people who were ignoring them.

One way to ensure that your cat is giving you the love, attention, and affection that you deserve is to give what you expect to receive, take proper care of your pet, and build bonds of friendship bit by tiny bit. That involves feeding your pet a healthy diet, giving it enough exercise, and showering it with attention. And even though some individual animals are big ol’ meanies no matter what you do, they’ll be more likely to stop pooping in your shoes and knocking stuff off the kitchen counter to get your attention if they know they’re being looked after by their loyal butlers (aka us).

stluis_htx Report

Just like teenagers, cats might act out because they’ve got too much pent up energy (or anxiety about how the world doesn’t recognize their brilliance). Bored Panda spoke to the UK’s leading pet charity, the PDSA, about how to take care of cats, to keep them lean, healthy, and how to help fight feline obesity. After all, if you want your mischievous pet to live a long and happy life, you’ve got to lend it a helping paw.

The PDSA told us that owners who want their felines to be slimmer and healthier should always weigh out their pets' food and choose a diet that's appropriate for their life stage and activity levels. This means toning down feeding your cat anything and everything in your kitchen and even speaking with your vet or nurse about what they'd recommend for your pet.

However, while at home, you should also do your best to play lots of interactive games with your cat to help them get up and about.

"Fishing rod-style toys are great for this but encouraging jumping, running, and playing will help and some cats can even be trained to play 'fetch' and will love the time spent with you," the PDSA explained. You'll get your cat moving, you'll spend quality time together and, who knows, all that extra movement might just be useful for pet owners as well.

This is the reason why we just changed our gas range to one where the gas does not turn on if you just turn a control dial. You have to turn and then press down. Hopefully that makes it harder for our adorable idiot to gas us.

We take all of the knobs off of our stove after we are done cooking because the dogs one time turned on a burner while we were out and the house almost got burned down. Animals are not always the brightest.

OMG. I discovered this too. Except it was an electric stove. I had just gotten a new one. And, I was happy that the ANNOYING push-in-the-k**b-then-turn-it feature was gone. The new stove only had knobs that turned. Who knew that was a safety feature?? One night, after the Hoomans were in bed, one of the cats walked across the back of the stove. They stepped on a k**b, and it turned. It turned a burner on. Then, they continued onto the counter, knocking over the brand new can of no-stick cooking spray. It rolled onto the burner. Where it heated up and exploded, spraying oil all over the kitchen. Which then caught on fire. Yeah. It was an "adventure". Good news is, the fire got put out. The house is still standing. And no one died.

On of our 5 cats walked on the k**b of our old gas range and it out just a little. I had supper dishes on it planning to wash after getting up after a midnight shift. Got awakened by a beep every few minutes and a haze of smoke near the ceiling. It scorched the handle of a pancake flipper. I didn't do that again.

We have to cover the controls on our cooktop for this reason. I come out every morning to little kitty footprints on the cooktop. (The cooktop is clean so I'm not sure what she's walking through before she jumps up there. I suspect I don't want to know. )

Yikes! My Roxy learned how to turn on the kitchen sink... and she plays in it thus knocking the drain plug down... sink fills with water and... I now have to rubberband the faucet lever so she can't move it or if she did, it would spring back. Until she learns to snap the rubber band.

We were dog sitting my neighbor's Springer Spaniel and he turned the gas on to our stove burner. Luckily we weren't asleep and I smelled the gas. I only figured out what happened because we have a security camera that happens to show the stove, so I got to replay him doing it. Scary! Now when we watch him we take off all the knobs.

We had to get child proof locks for the knobs on our gas stove - the cat would walk across the knobs and turn them on just enough to fill the kitchen with gas.

Our cat turned on the electric stove while there was a laundry basket on it so she wouldn't sleep in the laundry. Yeah, that cost us £10,000, no heating or hot water for a month in winter, and everything smelled like hot dogs for years afterwards.

I bought a house with an electric range. My Cat, Lovey, is always on the counter when I am using the stove and had no worries walking across the stove while I had at least one burner on. Paid $1400 for a new gas line and $1500 for a new gas range. He still gets on the counter but not the range.

One of my cats ran away for 25 hours back in July. That entire day was rough. We spent all night, all morning, all evening looking for her, to no avail. But, hooray, the cat came back on her own accord.
