34 Times Cats Acted So Audacious That Their Owners Put Up A Sign To Warn Others About Their Ways
Odds are, if you’ve made it here, you’re a big fan of cats, giant floofs, and those of the feline persuasion. Congratulations—and welcome to the club. Here’s your complimentary badge and cat list. Cats can be incredibly adorable and they’re bound to attract the attention of passersby, whether they’re strutting their stuff outside or showing off their shiny coats through the window.
However, this constant attention (however meowgnificent) can be exhausting. So some owners write up fun notes and put up lighthearted warnings for other people to read, so they know what (not) to do with their cats. Our feline-loving team at Bored Panda has collected some of the most engaging cat notes from all over the net, so we invite you to enjoy this list and have a scroll.
Pssst—upvote the photos you liked the most. And if you’ve seen any great notes about pets out in the wild with your own two eyes, tell us all about them in the comments! In the mood for some more fluffy content? Check out Bored Panda’s recent wholesome post about a postman cat right here.
Ingrid Johnson, a certified cat behavior consultant and the founder of Fundamentally Feline, went into detail with Bored Panda about the relationship between cats and strangers, the issues this sometimes causes, how best to circumvent them, and how strangers might react to friendly notes. Read on for our full insightful interview with Johnson.

My DAUGHTER used to pull this one with the neighbors. Not to the point of breaking in, however.
Cat behaviorist Johnson said that strangers really do affect outdoor cats by interacting with them. The effect depends on the person in question and what they do. "They could be made fearful if passers-by do not treat them kindly but could be also made more friendly and outgoing if they have a lot of nice experience and are rewarded with food and affection."
One thing that a lot of folks don't think about when feeding cats in the 'wild' is that they might have very specific diets that are meant to treat medical conditions. "Well, who knows what they are eating outside on the neighbors' porch? A Good Samaritan could be putting food out for stray cats that falls short of the special characteristics of the prescription diet the cat needs," Johnson warned.
According to the cat behaviorist, how people react to friendly notes that owners leave behind about cats really depends all on the individual in question. "Quite sadly, many people still see cats as pests, so attempts to run them off of their property may persist despite being asked to be nice to the cat," Johnson highlighted that not everything is as friendly and perfect as we'd like in the real world.

Vicki Smith 4 years ago
I have a door between my kitchen and back room, which I leave slightly ajar by using a foam u-shaped stopper on the door. Both cats manage to go in and out whenever they want. But one simply CANNOT push the door open by herself if I'm the back room, coming into the kitchen. She sits and screams and WILL NOT push the door open by herself. The only way she will go into the kitchen is if I push the door open for her.

Karen Klinck 4 years ago
We had a style of fridge popular in the 50s-60s--the door opened when you stepped on the plate along the door. We had to dismantle it, as Surra (out of all of them) discovered how to take a running leap, land on it, and the door opened. (All 7 pounds of her...) MacGyver, OTOH, sat on top of the fridge and pried the freezer opened, till I covered the entire top with boxes of odd sizes. (That trick,with an armoire, is how he got his name.)

This one tickles my funny bone. You can just barely see cat's face of determination. Must. Knock. Stuff.
"Another factor that people do not think about is that the roaming outside cats can negatively affect the lives of indoor-only cats and really wreak havoc. Oftentimes, when cats are indoors and they see cats coming up to their home and hanging around their doors and windows, they feel very threatened," the expert said.
"This can result in urine marking in the home especially around doors and windows and fighting with other housemates called redirected aggression. Redirected aggression is one of the most common behavior problems I help my clients within my consulting practice. It is a very challenging problem to resolve because we often cannot get neighbors to keep their cats inside, so the offending trigger is always there. It can be quite a debacle and creating a war between neighbors."

My daughter's cat comes to me immediately demanding to be fed because I am the cat grandma.
"This is a good time to emphasize that cats should be housed safely indoors with loads of amazing environmental enrichment to meet their lifestyle needs. I am a big fan of cats having outdoor access, I just ask that it is supervised for safety, their safety, and for the welfare of other cats as mentioned above. Train your cat to use a leash and harness, yes, you can do this! If possible provide a 'catified' screen porch, build a catio, or take your cat for a walk in a cat stroller!" she gave examples of how you can enrich your pets' lives.
"I truly practice what I preach! Even if you live in an apartment you can open windows, place bird feeders, and bird bathes outside of windows etc. I'm also a big fan of bringing the outdoors in! Grow cat grass, bring in dried leaves, snow, branches, pine cones, allow them to experience the seasons and the sights and scents of the outdoors in a positive way." Johnson said that anyone wishing to check out fun enrichment examples can find them on the Fundamentally Feline Instagram page; meanwhile, a fun seasonal offering can be found right here.

They are always the boss of us. We would not have it any other way either.
While we absolutely adore cats, there are some things you should keep in mind. First of all, we’re in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, so petting strange cats (or any pets) could spread the novel coronavirus just like any surface would. Even if we really, really want to hug them and tell them how gorgeous they are, we need to take social distancing very seriously. The CDC explains that we should treat our pets like our family members: they shouldn’t interact with others from outside our household.
Our suggestion? Rescue a cat from your local animal shelter to keep you company and brighten up your life or opt for petting cattos through your screen. Like in our wholesome cat list right here. Go on, you know you can’t resist.

I used to have a Beagle named Emily, sorry not a cat, and she would run away all the time. She would visit the food establishments and sometimes the police would bring her home in the cruiser. One night she got out and we didn’t know it and the next morning the police came by and dropped her off with her mug shot. They had her ride with them all night in the car😆, took her to McDonald’s for a hamburger and then took her back to the station and took her mug shot. BTW it was a small Midwest town and everyone new everyone.

"I will never leave." 😂 We once fell for a cat like that. That little ass sat in our courtyard meowing like it was completely lost. It was 2:30 a.m.... He woke another neighbor too and we went to look for him. Cat started to purr like hell and immediately followed me like a dog so I tried to take him in for the night. Turned out my cats didn't like the idea a lot. So I gave the neighbor some cat stuff so she could take care of him until the next morning. She had to get up very early so I told her to let him out when she had to leave for work. I also wrote a couple of notes (at 3 a.m.) asking the other neighbors if the cat belonged to someone leaving my number to call me. When I went to look for him the next morning I got a call from lady in the shop next door who told me she found my cat. I told her it wasn't mine but I would come to pick him up for the vet to check if he was microchipped. Then got a call from my mom who was laughing hysterically. t.b.c.
Janine B. 4 years ago (edited)
... My mom lives next door and had also read my notes. She asked me if I still had the cat. I replied the shop lady had just fed him and I was about to take him to the vet. Turned out that little pirate had a home just around the corner but was very friendly and deeply convinced every open door was his personal home. The neighbors around knew him well and most where keeping their doors shut because kitty didn't want to leave. So this little guy woke four people in the middle of the night just because no one had taken him in for the night and he wasn't in the mood to go home. So for everyone who thought cats don't rule the world - well, they do. lol

We had a cat in our complex that would roam around, and if your door was open he'd come inside and beg. We started calling him Moochie, because he was always mooching food.

I wish people wouldn't refer to their pets as ASSHOLE, or SHITHEAD, etc!!! We've had enough of that in the White House these 4years, and cats, ALL cats or dogs are WAYYYY BETTER!!!
The second thing that we should be aware of is how strange cats (and, by extension, all pets) feel about us. They might be gorgeous, but some of them will undoubtedly be wary of you. Or just plain cranky. So approach carefully. Stretch out your hand for the cat to sniff. Take it slow. If the cat bites you—it’s time to move on and rethink your life.
Finally, consider that you’re not the only person who wants to get the cat’s attention. So it’s vital to think about what’s in the best interests of both the pet and its owner. If you’re bringing the pet scraps to eat, you’re likely wrecking its diet. If in doubt, talk to the owner. Or heed their notes to the letter!

Jon S. 4 years ago
In terms of numbers of deaths, cats do nothing to birds compared to seasonality. I suspect (though I have no evidence) they even prevent mass winter time starvation in bird species by picking off the weaker hatchlings, in areas where they have been long term residents. It's like how caribou herds became healthier when wolves were reintroduced.

Outdoor cats have a higher chance of being run over, snatched, killed by humans on purpose or generally f****d with by other species like coyotes, racoons and the like. Keep your cat indoors! Outdoor cats are also susceptible to parasites and other blood borne diseases/pathogens. Also, cats f**k with the local ecosystems by killing other smaller mammals and birds for sport. Please keep your cat inside!

Then keep your cat inside. While all the notes are cute, do you see a pattern? They are outside roaming, and don't need to be. It's dangerous and unhealthy. Average lifespan of an outdoor cat - 2-5 years. Average lifespan of an indoor cat - 12-17 years. See the difference. Sorry to be a downer, but I had to do an entire research paper on this for a class in college. In speaking with vets, there is no reason that cats need to go outside.

Colin...You are mostly correct, but, cats are dangerous to people. They cause car (& motorcycle, once for me) accidents. I'm highly allergic and don't even have to touch one to react (Asthma and hives). I love animals more than anyone, but I'm sick of total strangers' cats using my organic food garden for a toilet. Putting up empty shelves and clearing the tops of bookcases, etc. to make a cat "highway" is fun for us and our cats.

Colin...You are mostly correct, but, cats are dangerous to people. They cause car (& motorcycle, once for me) accidents. I'm highly allergic and don't even have to touch one to react (Asthma and hives). I love animals more than anyone, but I'm sick of total strangers' cats using my organic food garden for a toilet. Putting up empty shelves and clearing the tops of bookcases, etc. to make a cat "highway" is fun for us and our cats.
