84 Pics That Prove Cats Are Little Jerks You Just Can’t Be Mad At
Interview
If you own a cat, there’s a pretty good chance that you love that creature as if it were your own child. You feed him, play with him, take care of him, and make sure that he has everything he needs to live a happy, fulfilling life. And what does he give you in return? If you’re lucky, you receive affection, biscuits, and purrs. But in reality, the majority of us get plenty of messes to clean up…
We took a trip to the My Cat Is a [Jerk] group on Facebook and gathered some of their funniest posts below. There’s no question that these kitties are adorable. But don’t let their innocent faces fool you; they are masters of chaos. Enjoy scrolling through these funny examples of why many people have to take drastic measures to cat-proof their homes, and be sure to upvote the pics that remind you of your own kitty!

Bobby is one smart, devious con man of a cat. He's channeling Phil Silvers from the Great Beyond. The mouse is just too cute a touch for words!

She probably appreciates the warmth, the humidity, and the fact that you tend to not be moving. At least, while she is in residence. Kitty gets a pseudo-sauna while staying almost completely dry.

I often see things like this online, where either the cat claims the dog's bed and the dog tries in vain to fit in the smaller cat bed, or (like here) sleeps on the floor. Why does no one ever think of what seems to me to be an obvious solution? If you have N pets, you buy N+1 pet beds, ALL BIG ENOUGH FOR YOUR LARGEST PET! Then it doesn't matter if the cat takes the 'dog's bed'. There's another, identical bed that the dog will fit into.

Yes, yes it is. And frankly, I am grateful for the maintenance work they provide on my soul.

I have probably over a dozen cat beds of various shapes/sizes/materials in the house, plus numerous window perches, 3 full-size cat trees with multiple beds/pouches on each, and the cats all know they're allowed on the furniture. And 90% of the time, I will walk into the living room to see my oldest, Kohl, sitting on a plastic bag that fell onto the ground XD

Was housesitting cats, one absolutely insisted he go out into the snow. Let him out then laughed at him when he realised the error of his ways. Made a mini movie of him jumping to try and open the door which I sent to his owner before letting him back in. (less than a minute, I am not that cruel).

Ah, the old 'Dodsworth' approach, if you're familiar with that old Looney Tunes cartoon. Play possum and wait for the mouses to come see if you're dead...

My cat has developed a hilarious obsession with guacamole—we actually have to guard the bowl from him!

Worth repeating here - Why does no one ever think of what seems to me to be an obvious solution? If you have N pets, you buy N+1 pet beds, ALL BIG ENOUGH FOR YOUR LARGEST PET! Then it doesn't matter if the cat takes the 'dog's bed'. There's another, identical bed that the dog will fit into.

They have a reason. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean there isn't a reason.

That's probably the heat and the gentle rocking motion. Quite soothing.

This neighborhood cat likes to come to my porch to see if my cats are looking out the window, and if they are he just hisses at them a few times and leaves.
Bill Swallow 10 months ago
We just had the door to our deck replaced this summer, with a nice sliding glass door with built in sliding screen door. Lady Grey, our grumpy matron cat, would sit by the door staring outside. A neighbor cat would come by, sit up next the door, and they would yowl and spit at each other, with the magical glass force field keeping them apart. A week later, I discovered that the neighbor cat had clawed the daylights out of the screen. *sigh*

One time when Stilgar was just a puppy, soon after he'd started to show signs of distemper, I left him in his playpen in my backyard for maybe 20 minutes while I fed the cats. I walked back out into my backyard to find that not only had Stilly escaped the playpen, he'd apparently also found my blackberry and boysenberry bushes and had eaten himself into a food coma. Of course, when I found him, he was laying on his side, eyes closed, with red smears all over his muzzle and neck and on the concrete around him, so I freaked out and yelled his name. He jumped up, and that's when I saw a few half-eaten berries underneath his muzzle and realized what had happened XD

My cat was apparently bad enough at the vet hospital to be rated “Caution at all times.”

Preacher (my tuxedo boy) once ate most of my mammogram referral form, back in 2022. I had to take the ripped, ragged, half-eaten paper to the imaging center the next day and say, with complete seriousness, "My cat ate my paperwork." I felt like I was trying to use the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse XD Luckily the staff was pretty cool about it and it wasn't an issue XD

My cat gave me a present the other day! Bells could not understand mama not wanting the “ present” on the bed! 😂

Friend of mine had a cat ('Boromir') who kept bringing home birds, so they put a bell on his collar. Took him less than 24 hours to bring home another bird - while he was still proudly wearing the bell.

Pray he doesn't go into Tasmanian Devil mode. I have a rescue cat (kitten then) that would fiercely attack my legs when I was at my most vulnerable. I was grateful he didn't set his sights any higher. Thankfully, he has mellowed out. A lot. (We got him a rescue kitten for a playmate.)

Check out poisonous plants for cats on the internet and don't get them.

Who has highly-toxic, will-absolutely-kíll-a-cat ONIONS growing in their house when they own a cat? That's shítty pet ownership. And no, neither cats nor dogs "instinctively" know what plants are toxic to them and won't eat the ones that are toxic; that's a myth. PLEASE check the toxicity of ALL your houseplants (or even bouquets/vased flowers) if you have a cat or dog. Some plants are so toxic that a cat can die just from licking the pollen off of its fur or drinking some of the water in the vase (if they're cut flowers.)

It is common in winter for stray (mostly feral) cats to find shelter in our horse barn. We try to capture as many as possible to be vetted and sterilized. Some are too wild to ever be content as pets, so they remain barn cats and sometimes are placed with people who want a mouser. About a week ago I saw a young cat that was obviously unwell limping around the barn. We tried everything to catch her but she kept getting away. I was concerned because we are supposed to have a storm today. Last evening when I went to do last check, my Pit Bull came along. He is great with all our animals, and loves the cats. Well, somehow he managed to catch the sick cat. She completely relaxed in his mouth and then when we came into the house, she fell asleep with him on his bed. She's at the vets today. Hopefully, she will recover and either stay with us or find another good home. So much for Pit Bulls being dangerous with cats!

My cat one time climbed into the trash can and ate some egg shell. We noticed the trash on him and that he was not feeling well so we rushed him to the vet right away. They fixed him right up and while I was upset that he scared me half to death... I was just super happy that he was okay 😂❤️

Cats are little jerks most of the time. Just sayin'... Not to mention relentless if/when they want something.
