Cats are undeniably adorable yet often unpredictable creatures. One moment, they are social, playful, and caring, and the other, they let all havoc loose, destroying everything in their way. Owners of these feline companions are proven this time and time again when they find piles of toilet paper or soil scattered around the house.

Luckily, they often manage to see the bright side of these mildly infuriating moments and share them with the rest of us so we can laugh and share their pain together. We at Bored Panda have collected some of the most mischievous cat crimes, and honestly, it’s pretty impressive what they can do when left to their own devices.

While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with Mustafa Tshash, a pet behavior specialist and co-founder of How To Pets, and Joey Lusvardi, a certified cat behavior consultant.
