Even healthy, happy cats can be unpredictable and idiosyncratic in many ways. One moment your beloved feline is chilling and purring on your lap, the next it's stealing your neighbors' belongings.
But don't just take my word for it. There's a whole subreddit dedicated to the surprisingly funny ways of these creatures, proving just how random and adventurous they can be.
It's called 'What's Wrong With Your Cat?' and the online community has 583,000 members who are constantly sharing moments from their pet's "malfunctions."
Continue scrolling to check out the latest ones, and for older (but equally good) subreddit content, fire up our previous publications on it here, here, and here.
Also, don't miss the talk we had with Lucy Hoile, a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviorist (CCAB) who specializes in cats! You can find it spread out between the pictures.

I Let Her Smell An Oreo
"What is this magic?!" My cat used to peel the reseal top back, pull out an Oreo with one claw, use the same claw to slowly pull the sides apart, and then lick the cream completely off both sides. She died a year ago today, I miss her and her craziness.
She Sleeps Like This To Keep Her Nose Warm
Sorry to take the fun out of this, but it's called head pressing and if a cat does this constantly, it may be a symptom of neurological issues. https://catonsvillecatclinic.com/holmes-corner/causes-head-pressing-cats/

Old house? Possibly some kind of critters in the walls? Cats have extraordinary hearing, and can hear insects and other creepy-crawlies long before we can. Comes from being nocturnal hunters.

Random Neighbourhood Cat Staring Into My Living Room
He Was Rustling Around In The Shopping Bag. Had To Forcefully Remove The Chilli From Him
I have a cat who loves to track, kill, and eat bugs. We’ve finally resigned ourselves to it, for the most part. She actually loves to help us catch flies that get in when we can’t do it ourselves. But we also have the random wasp that gets in—-old house, we have yet to locate their entry area—-and buzzes around. One day I caught Tabitha playing with one, and getting ready to pounce and chomp on it. I intercepted and got the wasp to fly away from her. I went and got an old bottle I use to trap and release bugs if they get inside (trap inside, release outside), got the wasp in it and put it outside. Tabitha looked daggers at me for stealing her toy/snack. I just told her that one was waaaaaay too spicy for her; that she would’ve ended up with a painful swollen face and I would’ve ended up with an equally painful vet bill. I may not be forgiven for it yet, but I don’t care.

I have several questions about this litterbox's shape and location ....
His Paws….i Think He’s Half-Noodle
Why Does He Keep Doing This?
Please discourage this ASAP! It is NOT cute! He may go in there sometime when you don’t notice. You’ll turn the machine on and hurt him badly, possibly break his neck and kill him!.
