50 Adorably Frightening Pics Of Cats Showing That Their Owners Are Alive Because Of Their Mercy
Because of their adorable traits, it’s easy to overlook a cat’s predatory nature. Even domesticated felines have a dangerous side to them, and you will see it once they have their claws engaged.
This subreddit calls them “Murder Mittens,” an online community of 231,000 members that shares images of cats with their “knives” out. As the profile succinctly describes, it’s a sub “for when your cats want to end you.”
We’ve selected some of the most eye-catching photos from the group, which could make you go “aww” while simultaneously making you slightly terrified.

R1MV4Superleggera 1 year ago
This picture actually made me think....since the Maximum ruler of our castle choose me as his favourite hooman and likes to ride over my shoulders everywhere I go around the house...I seriously never, ever seen him showing his deadly instruments of death (aka claws) while riding..while Wife is mumbling (I think) "please, don't make me a widow" 😄

All joking aside, please clip your cat’s claws if they’re not wearing them down on the scratching post. Or your furniture. Or you. The earlier you start normalizing the clipping, and the more regularly you do it, the more comfortable the cat will be with it and the better off your furniture and you will be.

My old man (18 this May) is a long-haired void - I love him to bits. I wish I had the ability to adopt a few more voids, they're my favorite type of kitties!
