40 Hilarious Photos Of Cats Being The Biggest Jerks To Dogs
While some cats and dogs get along so well it’s heartwarming to watch, other pets are such jerks to each other that they remind us that Sunday morning cartoons always knew something more than we did.
Bored Panda has collected the funniest examples of cats acting like the biggest jerks to their live-in canine pals. Scroll down, upvote your fave pics, and let us know in the comments if your cats and your dogs get along well, dear Pandas. Oh, and pray for us because the cattos might be out to get us for outing their dirty little secrets!
There are a bunch of reasons why your cat might be attacking your dog. It’s alright if things stay playful, however, that’s not always the case.

I Was Able To Capture The Raw Anguish He Felt After Losing His Bed To The Void
While some cats might be lashing out because they feel threatened, others might be mean because they fancy themselves as the big bad predator of the house. It’s in every owner’s interest to make sure their pets get along.
If your pets keep on fighting, they might get seriously hurt. So if things are getting out of hand, you might want to separate them when you can’t keep an eye on them. Until you come up with a way to make sure that Mr. Cat and Ms. Dog like each other.

My Cat Recently Discovered The Dog Bed
Cats that act out may in fact be overwhelmed with stress. Maybe your cat’s feeling stressed out because it’s (still) not used to having the dog around the house. Perhaps you’re stressing out about life and your cat’s picking up on your vibes. Or maybe it’s worried that the stuff that we all had to deal with in 2020 won’t magically end with the New Year. Who knows!
The point is, your cat needs to feel calm, so do your best to remove any factors that might be stressing it out from its immediate environment. Also, try giving it some toys to play with or chew to help it relax.
Keep in mind that any friendship takes time and trust to develop. You can’t expect your pets that have been at each other’s throats to suddenly become best buds. However, with a lot of patience, you can help them respect each other’s boundaries and, hopefully, start a magical friendship.
Poor Dog
Look closely: the cat is in a kneading position. Grabbed the first thing to hold onto (dog's skin) and is making biscuits. Look at the concentration in the cat's eyes.

Awww
See, this is what can happen when boundaries aren't established with a warning ear-nip or retaliation pee early on: doggie-breath cuddles.
@Mme de Poppadom the dog (Moxy) was my friend's and this was the first time they had ever met.. and Boots has never had a problem with dogs in the past..
thats just cute
My cat hated my dog, until cat got sick. While recovering, cat took to sleeping in the dog bed because it was bigger. The dog would still lay in her own bed (cat was not contagious) while making sure not to sit on the cat, cat discovered that dog was warm and started to lay on the dog to sleep. Cat and dog have been best friends ever since.
Aww! That’s soo sweet!
So that cat hated her till she found a use for her? So very cat.
Caroleann Mc Callion easy
Sara Rehnmark -
Awwww - sometimes you just have to learn who your friends really are.
...... and appreciate them.
I just hope these owners help their dogs and move the cats out of beds/off stair etc. They shouldn't have to live in fear of anyone in their household.
Same. I don’t find this cute or funny.
It is not cute or funny.
Yeah, many of these show cats physically hurting the dogs, and here people are upvoting it. Why? It's the same mentality where peiple laugh at men who are victims of domestic violence: they think it's funny because women are small and men are big. Not funny though. I hope these poor dogs get rescued from cats who bite and scratch them.
Allowing one animal in the home to abuse another only shows how abusive these owners are especially to find that behavior is funny and do nothing to stop it. If they were children would you find it funny to find one child constantly every day abusing another? I dont think so, stop that animal behaviour in your home now.
Would you believe it, san, that there are people who favor one child over another and let the former one bully his/her sibling(s)?
Let's hope so.

Why not? I do!🤣
You are a "sweetheart" SaraFromHell with you, not funny.
Half of the pictures are the cats just playing, it's easy to tell when a cat is in fight mode. But they're very cute pictures.
Yes- many of those bites are just play-bites. Our cats do that all the time.
When my male cat "plays" with the other one, she cries out for help; is it because of "play bites"???
9 years ago today we said goodbye to our beautiful little kitty. She was very small but thought herself a lion and dog hunter.
💔
This is why I like dogs better. If a dog barks or bites, it gets disciplined/trained to behave. If a cat does it, it's "awwww look at what the cat did!"
Not my cat and for the very reason you mentioned. Off the table! Get out of the dog’s food, not aww so cute kitty.
i think dogs being mean to cats would not be as funny! Cuz it could get real ugly fast
Agreed. When was the last time a cat got put down for aggressive behavior? Yet cats are far more aggressive than dogs, they're just smaller.
Bob Belcher - not so in shelters. Time and funds are given to dogs deemed vicious - months of rehab sometimes. You get a frightened and confused cat, stuff it into a cage, have it hiss or swat, and BOOM! It gets the needle right away. Deemed vicious and "unadoptable". 25 years in shelter volunteering taught me this sad fact. That's why I stopped onsite volunteering. I couldn't rehab them all 💔
I wish my dog was afraid of cats so that I could have my grandma's kitten be able to roam around the yard freely(we live separate but in one home so the animals never cross paths unless outside)
who could forget about this classic assassin-c...adcbd0.jpg
I could.
My cats love my dog, and vice versa. Dog was dumped as a puppy, with his mom. One day he was very sick, so I brought him in the house. The only time he ever snapped at one of my cats. But it was her fault, she has a bad habit of sticking a claw in anyone she encounters, and stuck one in his head. She's not being mean, just clueless! But he is never afraid of the cats. If one is in his bed he just snuggles up to them..and they are never afraid of him.
Not funny. Like when kids "show attitude",
The cat knows who's Boss in this house. She was always picking on him. It's his bed. IMG_201803...a016d5.jpg
I have a friend who lost her Chihuahua, when her cat (that had been raised with the dog) killed it over the dogs bed, the cat had never bitten before but that time it counted, it broke her dogs neck.....be careful :(
We had a Collie/German Shepherd mix we called Corky when I was growing up. We "acquired" a kitten when someone left them in a box by the drive entrance to the old drive entrance to my dad's family farm. We used to spend spring holidays and summers there in the old home place. We found families for all but the one I wanted to keep, a solid grey long hair, possible "Persian" mix, that we named "Smokey". Smokey did have a white "star" on the center of his chest under his chin. Corky tolerated the kitten for a little while, then one day I got up early to let Corky out before feeding him. I found Smokey curled up in the middle of Corky's belly, with his chin resting on Corky's legs and them both in my dad's recliner. Fortunately, the recliner had a heavy vinyl covering and was easy to keep clean.
Ralph Spooner lol
Actually, the pictures where they hang out together are ... nicer.
..... not to SaraFromHellwithyou(her).
Poor doggies!!! These cat are asshole hahahaha!!
I guess, that's why this picture was up-voted...twice.
Make you wonder why dogs can be dominated by cats? Or are do they know they are really the dominant ones and are just trying to be kind .
Cats are ninjas and often strike before the dog even realizes it's an option
I disliked this. How cruel to make a dog live in fear in it's own home. Cats that attack dogs shouldn't be get with dogs. Cats can damage the eyes, the nose lips and ears badly. Make a choice either a dog or a cat. Grow up.
Poor dogs look so sad and helpless.
I'm sure it (this post) had 56 images. "People" like violence, and love to show off and share it.
I don't see the humor in this, people should put manners on their cat's same as you would with children, you wouldn't let a child do that to a dog so why let a cat do it.
CATS ARE JERKS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THEY ARE JERKS
Crazy tuxedo cat raises his tail and presents butt for sniffing by the dog. The cat is a wacko.
We have an unspayed female cat (she's a rescue; when I find the money she's going in!) She was recently in heat--noise, no bother, both boys were denutted long ago. But as she's waving her rail in the air, desperately looking for the wrong type of attention, here comes the dog with his cold nose. And she screams in outrage, and whirls, while he scrambles back out of range. 30 seconds later, she's stropping on him. Critters!
I just got a kitten 3 weeks ago. My dog isn't too happy that the cat likes his food better than hers.
Be careful though, cats need different nutrients in their food to dogs and take care to help the dog adjust, it was their home first and it can cause considerable anxiety for them.
Thank's for your tips, but don't worry. The food l was talking about is just some goodies(ice dried meat) they can't reach each other's food bowls. Fortunately my dog is not the anxious type and right now they only meet each other for short periods of time while I'm present.
Thanks for the feedback Nela - glad you are on top of it. Hope they soon become the best of friends. I'd love a kitty but neither of my dogs would cope. One is very anxious and the other would just have her nose put out of joint if she ceased to be the boss! Which is a teeny bit likely with a cat!
cats are awesome!!
Here it's exactly the other way around: our Havanese is bulling our angel-like cat all day long... or at least when it comes at food. She even hid a piece of chicken in my daughter's bed this evening as she was full but didn't want the cat to get it.
Raine the GSD and the cats got along fine. They really loved each other. Raine had her own loveseat - she sat there all the time. And the cats had Raine to sit on. Pics of them using Raine as THEIR loveseat.
My cat (18 lbs) and dog ( 4 lbs) used to chase each other thru the house. First one would chase then turn around and the other would chase. This lasted until the cat got tired of it and the cat swatted the dog, making him go rolling across the floor. On a carpet(more resistance) my dog would grab the cat's ear and pull him around in circles, UNTL he got tired of it. Then the swat would come again, sending poor Puppy several feet. I wish we had cameras in our phones back then.

My dog was the jerk first. When I got Sora she tried so hard to lay with him and cuddle but Eli wouldn't have any if it. They'd play but no snuggles. She'll put up with a lot of his crap even letting him win a lot, but she can throw him across the room if she really wants to (and has). Now? 7 years later? Oh she'll try to steak his spot, fight for couch rights, and smack him. She can't bite him, no more teeth, but he's still a jerk too. If he knows she's under the covers he'll lay on her or walk on her to get her to move. Both of them, tit for tat, have made me laugh a lot.
Tive 3 cachorras idosas, primeiro as tive, depois vieram os gatos, no começo foi dureza, deixar todos juntos, aos poucos foram se acostumando, com o tempo, aqui na minha casa, tive 7 gatos e 4 cachorras. Com muita luta, eu consegui fazer que eles ficassem amigos e depois de algum tempo, ambos já estavam até dormindo e convivendo juntos no mesmo ambiente, viveram juntos por mais de 5 anos, agora tenho 6 gatos, porque as cachorras morreram e recentemente perdi um gato, mas enquanto as cachorras viveram, se deram bem com os gatos, mas foi difícil essa união.

My 6 pound cat would chase the 60 pound dog. Poor dog would not go near the other cats even though they never threatened him.

Awhile ago somebody came over to our house and they had a cat and our dog was like barking and whining and growling all because she could smell cat
Everyones cats are so wholesome in this comment section, but my cat is a bish. He peed on my sisters stuffed animals (right on top of her favorite). Im so proud.
I wish all the cats can have that kind of good, peaceful environment to have a chance to be jerk to dogs...I still try to forget that I read recently some idiot, murderer human's idiot pitbull strangled the poor stray cat in the park full of humans...
People apparently find it cute when cats are aggressive, hurt and draw blood on dogs, as shown above. If a dog fights back, people don't find it so cutesy, because yeah most dogs can kill a cat. But when people like and endorse these "asshole cats" it's no wonder than dogs sometimes exact revenge on a sometimes unsuspecting kitty. We shouldn't endorse either type of aggression.
Cats are hilarious and have a sense of humour. Many dog people don't understand cats and think they are aggressive, but they aren't unless they've been abused and have had to learn to defend themselves. Cats are usually very calm and assured and only wary of dogs because they are bigger and noisy. I prefer cats over dogs any day. Much more intelligent, much cleaner, quieter, really sweet and can be very funny. Cats are lovely.
Loved these!

I think it's especially funny when the dog is big.

This is an absolutely true story. One time when I was a child, I watched a little cat hissing and swatting its paw at my uncle’s dog (which was changed to a house). The cat finally got close enough so that the dog could reach it, and the dog swallowed the cat!
The dog was changed to a house?
Why, do you let your dog wander the neighborhood?
"Thank" you for the story, Daniel Lewis.
Chained Daniel, not changed. Also, truly horrible life for a dog if that is all it has. There aren't just the two options - chained or wandering the neighbourhood. In between the two, shocking I know, is a far more ideal way.
I don't understand why was Matilda's comment down-voted - sixteen times. Please explain. Dogs in some pictures did not look that they chosen not to defend themselves.

I don't find anything funny here. Just dog abuse.
Dog abuse?!?! Really?!? In every one of these pics, if the dog really felt threatened, it would lash out, no problem. *both* animals can and will defend themselves if necessary. As pets in the same household, it's just like a sibling relationship. Lighten up
Not that simple as you made it, Jess.
Siblings are usually from the same species. These animals, however, are not. And they don't interact in natural environments. Some of these dogs have frightened facial expressions on them. They wouldn't lash out because they know cats are more agile , fast and can create a lot of harm. So yes, dog abuse.
They're playing. Ever see and hear two dogs playing? The uninitiated would have you believe they're killing each other.
