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).

Many years ago I had a cat who would wait until I was asleep, then butt me in the face. When I turned over she was like a flash down under the covers.

Similar to how we like cuddling a cat when it's purring, cats love to lie on us because of our warmth and breathing too.

It’s fake. He’s not sleeping. He set this up for a laugh. That’s OK, he just should have paid better attention to his continuity.

That's why you put the cat out at night. Old wive's tale. It was thought the cat would lay on a baby at night and smother it.

Omg..flashbacks ! When I was a child my cat, Napoleon would smother me in my sleep, supposedly it was "love cuddles" but I though he was killing me because it was a constant.. he's even jumped up from the floor and sunk his teeth (perfectly) through my where my ear was pierced. Stole my clothes every time I got in the tub..cheeky little guy but he was so very loved ♡ Glad your kitty is just keeping your face warm while you sleep 🥰

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.
