50 Hilarious Photos Of Cats Getting Into Places Where They Probably Shouldn’t Be (New Pics)

If you’re a cat parent, I’m sure you have countless stories and photos of your fur babies being mischievous and ending up in places where they probably shouldn’t be. I’ve never had a cat of my own, but during the year and a half I lived with one, I saw her climb up a palm tree, rip a hole into one of my plush chairs to create a hideout for herself, found her sleeping in one of my clothing drawers many times, and watched her crawl all over the mantle that seemed way too high for her to jump up to. But clearly, these things are not out of the ordinary at all, as Place Where Cat Shouldn’t Be has tweeted over 500 images of adorable, misplaced kitties.

This Twitter account, which was created in November 2020, has amassed an impressive 1.1 million followers already. But it’s not surprising, considering how much internet users love cats and how precious the page’s content is. These photos are inspiring, as they prove just how much cats really do not care at all what humans think. They’ll lay on top of you, in your way, on top of horses and anywhere else their little paws will take them. They’re fearless!  

If you’re a human who requires pristine conditions to fall asleep at night (total darkness, the perfect temperature, ASMR sounds playing and a pillow between your legs), you might be extremely impressed by cats who seem to be able to make themselves comfortable literally anywhere. But according to PetPlace, our kitties are likely choosing their nap spots more strategically than we even realize. Sometimes, they actually choose strange locations to curl up just to be closer to us. 

“They know they can squeeze out some extra snuggles this way,” the experts at PetPlace explain. “They may also do this because your scent is lingering on the clothing, towels, or bags. Your scent on those items tells your pet that they’ll be safe there if they curl up and close their eyes. You’ll protect them.”

Other times, our kitties might just be choosing a spot because they enjoy being in “defined” places. “Although your bed may look like a large, unprotected expanse, the recently ironed shirt that you carefully laid out appears to be a more intimate space,” the experts continue.
