Having a pet, unfortunately, isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it’s a true test of patience when they chew up furniture or decide to strike up a serenade in the middle of the night. In those moments, we suggest taking a deep breath and firing up a list of memes that just might be the best therapy for fur-induced chaos.
Today, we’ve prepared one featuring cats, with serious potential to turn your day right around. To find it, all you have to do is scroll down!
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with certified feline behavior consultant Heather Alvey and cat behavior consultant Molly Kelsey, who kindly agreed to talk about quirky cat behaviors and how to keep felines well-behaved and happy.

It could be considered mean, but when they are sleeping I like to tickle their little hairs between the beans. Just lightly, not enough to fully wake them. If I do I get the death stare and denial of affection until they eat and sleep again.

Cat behavior experts tell Bored Panda that they've loved cats from a very young age. But what pushed them to turn their passion into a career was seeing felines and their owners in need of help.
"I’ve always loved cats. Growing up as an only child, my cats were my closest companions," shared certified feline behavior consultant Heather Alvey.
"I initially worked in aviation, but after 9/11, the industry became unstable, and I experienced several layoffs. Before my final layoff, I had started developing a cat-only pet-sitting business as a side project.
When I lost my job, I decided to give it a try full-time. Fortunately, the business took off right away—cat owners appreciated finding a sitter who focused exclusively on cats. Within six months, I was earning enough to support myself, and within a year, I hired my first employee."

After running her cat-sitting business for 14 years, Alvey discovered the field of feline behavior, and it immediately resonated with her.
"Over the years, I had seen cats surrendered or euthanized for behavioral issues—often after a baby arrived—and I knew those cats were simply reacting to stress or change in their environment. I just didn’t yet have the tools to help. That realization led me to pursue a certification in cat behavior and ultimately start my current business, Felidae Behavior Consulting."

Our youngest doesn’t sleep much because she plots trying to escape instead. 🤦♀️. She snuck under the front gate this morning— it’s not hard because outs just as metal fence but by god damṉ moroń father has started locking it with a padlock?? No idea why… So I couldn’t get it open straight away so I yelled at him and his son come and watch it and my cat while I ran through the house to the front door so they both ran straight to the gate and came to watch her and they yelling at her to stand and watch while I ran to the front door.. and as soon as I got to the front yard there she was in all her glory strutting to me with a towel in the air looking at me like “hey Mum , where have you been“ just like nothing was bothering her in the slightest, but she was kind of starting to get that look on her face cause she hasn’t been out in the front by herself and she hasn’t been at that part of the front yard at all so she was freaking out which is good. But I got the rest of the story this afternoon that they called out to her and she put a tail listening to them that she also kind of put it down as she ran around the corner ignoring them sounds about right .. rude little cow.

Similarly, cat behavior consultant Molly Kelsey also grew up with cats.
"My love of cats was fostered from a very young age, my parents were gifted two kittens at my baby shower, who I grew up alongside," she shares.
"Before I became a feline behavior consultant, I was a veterinary nurse and came across countless cats and their owners who needed behavioral help, but at the time didn't know where to turn to. I found there were not too many people out there with the skills to help these people and their cats, so I thought, Why not me?"

Having grown up with cats, these feline experts have probably seen every possible cat behavior. So we were curious to know about their favorite ones.
"I love all the quirky, individual preferences and behaviors that cats display," Alvey says. "Each cat is truly unique, and those little peculiarities highlight just how distinct their personalities are. That individuality is one of my favorite things about working with them."

That is an iguana, an invasive species here in Florida. They're a HUGE problem. They'll eat pretty much any and all vegetation, except for plants with rigid leaves; they love hibiscus. Their burrows undermine sea walls, foundations and such. They defecate everywhere. There are no natural predators. They reproduce like rabbits, numbers wise. One of the neighborhood cats we were feeding would eat an iguana that size whole, which is one of the most disgusting things I've seen and heard (crunch, crunch, crunch). That cat is now a house cat after we paid a huge vet bill for tom cat injury, so now we have even more iguanas. I hate iguanas with a passion and just last week I said to my wife, "I hate the idea of k*****g animals, but I'm starting to contemplate it." She, also an animal lover, said that I should. p.s. - that's a small one. they easily reach 3 feet in length.

Meanwhile, Kelsey adores when felines' tails quiver like an animated exclamation point.
"Depending on the context, it can mean they are excited, greeting someone, focused, anticipatory, or frustrated. We also sometimes see this when they are urine marking, often for territorial purposes," she explains.

Arson, grand theft auto, breaking & entering, and-worst of all- jaywalking.
These are just a few behaviors that are typical of cats. But there are many more that are unique to them that first-time cat owners might not be aware of.
"They are obligate carnivores and tend to drink a lot less water for their body size compared to other animals (which is why encouraging water intake is very important)," says Kelsey.
"People often tell me they had no idea that their cats require small, frequent meals vs. one or two big meals a day to mimic their wild counterparts. Most appear to come 'pre-programmed' to use a litter box, versus dogs, who require toilet training. Being both a prey and predator species, cats are risk-averse and can take some time to get used to changes that may seem small to others," she listed further.

Hold up something - like a tin of mints or a pill bottle with meds inside - and hold it juuuust behind the phone/camera, and shake it gently. The cat will be like "OMG WHAT IS THAT!! I AM FASCINATED!!!" and will stare at the tin/bottle (and thus at the camera) for at least a few seconds, long enough for you to hopefully spam the "take photo" button XD I have also achieved this with flailing small toys back and forth behind my phone. Just be sure not to do any of it too energetically, or you'll either have a scared cat or a cat who lunges directly into your face trying to pounce on whatever you've got in your hand XD (I speak from experience, lol.) Attached is a photo of me doing this technique to my oldest void girl in order for me to get a pic of her in her Xmas collar XD kohl_xmas_...f1621b.jpg

Load More Replies... Something else that people should know before getting a cat is that they aren't low-maintenance, Alvey notes.
"There are a lot of myths about cats, but one that really frustrates me is the idea that they’re aloof or low-maintenance. While some cats may be more independent, most form strong, loving bonds with their people. Compared to dogs, cats might seem low-maintenance because they don’t need walks, but they have their own species-specific needs. When those needs aren’t met, behavioral issues often follow."

This actually happened to me thanks to my father-in-law leaving a rollertray full of paint on the floor where my 2mo old kitten found it. I didn't see it happen but my wife and son started yelling, I ran in to see what all the fuss was about and discovered a cat with his whole right flank covered in white paint. Luckily it hadn't dried yet but I got very scratched up in the process of washing it off 🙁 I was very worried the kitten might have tried licking it off but he was totally fine and still making mischief a couple years later 🥲

So to help owners keep their kitties happy, healthy, and well-behaved, experts kindly agreed to share their top tips. Kelsey suggests doing the following:
- Adequately socialize them as kittens so they are better prepared for things like strangers of all types, car rides, and vet visits.
- Be proactive with their healthcare, monitor their habits and behavior. These can provide clues if something is amiss.
- Respect their personal space and boundaries, they are sentient beings and should be treated as such.
- Stimulate their mind and body every day with enriching activities, a bored cat is a sad cat.

I can't stand his woo-woo "flower/gem essence" bullsh!t (the crud doesn't even CONTAIN flower or gem ingredients/physical matter, only "the energetic blueprint" of them... bruh.) But he is 100% correct about catto destructive behavior - if they're running around destroying things, or shredding your toilet paper, etc., then they need mental and physical stimulation and enrichment. Puzzle toys, interactive toys, window perches, scratching posts/cardboard, and lots of physical playing with toys is the answer XD I have 6 cats in my house atm and none of them destroy anything except their cardboard scratchers XD

Alvey once more emphasizes the importance of regular veterinary visits and enrichment for cats.
"Cats are experts at hiding pain or illness, so you might not realize anything is wrong until they’re very sick. On the emotional side, enrichment is non-negotiable. Think about all your cat’s senses and look for ways to give them new and interesting experiences. I always say, 'A busy, tired cat is a well-behaved cat.'"

There's no practical way to keep the cats out of the kitchen window, and I don't blame them. But I don't like seeing them on the counter and if I walk in suddenly, they hop off as if to say, "We know!" If they're in the window, they just purr.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 month ago
I gave up trying to keep my cats off of the counter/in the kitchen years ago. Here's my oldest void girl chilling out on my dish-drying mat XD It's one of her favorite places to hang out. Luckily I'm the only person who lives in this house, I wash the mats regularly, and my cats are all indoors cats so they are (hopefully) free of parasites and other nasties XD I don't really care if there's a bit of cat hair in everything I eat XD My mother lives next door to me, and she gets all offended when Kohl (my void) is in the kitchen or on a countertop, even though it doesn't affect my mother AT ALL. One time she actually walked over and slapped Kohl to get her off the countertop, and my voice dropped six octaves and I said "DO NOT HIT MY CAT EVER AGAIN." XD kohl_on_di...228266.jpg

More like their bowl isn’t empty, they just ate out the food in the middle but not what’s on the sides. But that small middle section of bowl showing through means the entire bowl is empty. Usually shaking the bowl to move the food into the middle is the only magic trick you need to do for them.

Just a PSA - do be careful with pizza and your cat. Pizza sauce is usually made with onion and garlic powder in it, and both of those are very toxic to cats. And because it's the powdered version, it's stronger than whole/fresh onion/garlic. So please, don't let your cats eat any pizza, or lick the sauce, etc. The crust is safe (unless it's a pizza place that puts garlic salt on their crusts.) Cats are very small animals, and even a small amount of consumed pizza could be harmful.
