If you take a close look at all the memes that made cats famous, they are predominantly documenting their behaviors rather than anything else.
It is that behavior that has led folks to conclude all sorts of things about cats. Like cats being jerks. And cats doing whatever it is that they’re doing in the pictures below.

Truly The Perfect Camouflage!
I hate when they post a thread about cute animals, and the very first post hasn't any animal at all!
The cat IS there. Look carefully at the swirls.

In the old days with feather mattresses, they used to sandwich between two of them in winter. Kitty got smart
my old pup Sebastian Michaelis {hey all you Kuroshitsuji/Blackbutler fans! and yes his brother is Ciel Phantomhive!} was a tiny Shih- tzu/Poodle {Or S**t-Poo as his breed and he was lol} He used to crawl into my pants {im 7'4 to I have tall large but skinny pants} and he would get stuck in the leg.... many a time I would find his brother sitting by my pants so I would know or just hear sometimes annoyed lil "I can't belive this happened" growl/grunts and I would look into the leg and see a lil black face look out! .... Sadly sebby died almost 2 years ago.... I miss that lil deformed face
Queen Size
She probably lets the soft can-opener curl up on the edge.
Well, she is a queen so it fits perfectly Edit: I should have said purrfectly I’m sorry
So, it should come as no surprise that animals behave in particular ways for a reason. No, in the case of cats, that reason is—sorry to spoil your fun—not because they are jerks. While tempting to take a leap in logic there, cat behaviors are specific and express a variety of needs, wants, wishes and other bits of communication.
This Cat Angrily Protecting Its Trunk Full Of Watermelons
I love the paw on the melon to let you know it’s not just angry, it’s guarding them.
We have found the ultimate math problem. "An angry cat owns one car full of watermelons. How many more cars are needed to make the cat happy? Round to the nearest amount of grocery stores in the area. Show your work."
I Fell Asleep On The Couch And Woke Up With This Cat On My Lap. I Have Three Cats, But This Isn’t One Of Them
Correction: I Fell Asleep On The Couch And Woke Up With This Cat On My Lap. I Have Four Cats!
4. You have 4. 4 Cats. I mean it, you have 5 cats! It's simple math, my Dudes. 6 cats, obviously.
You have been blessed by the Anonymeow. It is a purradox where it came from. I guess it was a catnap... I'll stop now
This Is An Emergency
Why did we climb the soft can-opener? Because it was there.
Well that cardboard wall might keep them in for.. a couple days..maybe.
That could be me a few years ago......one kitten crawls up the left leg of my jeans, the second on the right and the third criminal was already in the hood of the sweater...so I take the cat out of the hood and put it on the floor, the other two as well while the first one had already arrived back at hip height......I thought I was juggling kittens at a sideshow...🤹🏽
One of the more popular behaviors observed in cats is what the internet has come to call 'if it fits, it sits'. It’s partly the reason why some think cats are liquid.
Well, small spaces provide cats with safety and security all the while feeding their natural instinct of ambushing prey. Even if it is your foot as you walk past.
I’ve Been Taken Hostage. Send Help
These are the best days of your life. Enjoy them to the fullest ❤️
They can come take me hostage. It's been a long time since I've had kittens who wanted to do this.
It is reasonably certain that the hostage will soon become a victim of the Oslo syndrome. No person is immune to it in such a situation.

Looking for stability? Stick to a routine, like feeding and caring for your cat every day!
If you put a collar on her, that's one cat that DEFINITELY needs a breakaway sort! Lmao
First day of bringing in a stray I’ve been she climbed up on my new curtains, also did not know she is an expert at parkour
Oh but the love and joy she will bring u! U know u were laughing ur a** off when u saw that! :D
Another behavior you might have noticed is the nonchalant micro-shoving of things off tables.
This one is a twofer, meaning they are pushing stuff off tables because of cat-famed curiosity and (or) they’re just bored out of their minds. Stimulating them with other or new toys might help resolve the issue, if it is an issue at that point.
I Can Hear The Ocean
I Called My Wife To Ask Her If The Cat Liked His New Toy. She Sent Me This
The middle is a scratching pad. The outside has a ball they can roll around with their paw. This cat has destroyed the scratching pad to bits.

Hahaha! My cats eventually wear the cardboard down and I replace. Never have seen anything like this! So hilarious!
This Filing Bin Comes With Additional Security Measures
Ah but the old adage " if I fits, I sits" still applies.
Load More Replies...One that most folks are probably aware of is when a cat brings you gifts. Well, “gifts”.
It goes without saying that cats have instincts to satiate and this one is all about hunting down small prey. And they bring it back to you as a sign of gratitude or because they want attention for this generosity.

I Regret This Toy

Load More Replies...Cats have other ways of expressing themselves, and those can range from normal behaviors of needing affection (rubbing against you) to kneading (expressing its happiness or simply calming down) to actually showing signs of illness, like eating non-food items, including wool, cloth or plastic.
My Cat Showed Up At My House Like This Today. Apparently, We Have A Cat Lover In Our Street
You ever wonder if your outside cat is seeing a different family? Like your cat has a name and has a completely different name at another house up the block? I do.
Load More Replies...You might want to look out for people wearing pink lipstick, and white cat fur.
And if you're too far away to see fur on their lips,, anyone going "ptooie! ptooie!" a lot is a likely suspect.
Load More Replies...White cats shouldn’t go outside. Very high risk of skin cancer.
Yes. All cats should only go out supervised or on a leash, very high risk of injury from cars, dogs and wild animals, AND picking up fleas and ticks.
Load More Replies...That's actually kind of crappy to get lipstick all over someone else's cat. That will probably be hard to get off and that poor cat will not enjoy the process.

I'm so happy, it doesn't happening to me. I would've nervous. Would've tought that means, I was warned to move out o_O
Eating random things may indicate that the cat lacks minerals or other nutritional elements. Or it can also hint at things like anemia or hyperthyroidism.
It could also just as well be boredom or stress, but why risk it when you can take the cat to the vet and have it checked by a professional.

There’s also things like doing its toilet business outside the litter box. It’s usually a behavioral thing caused by stress or anxiety due to new pets or changes in the household, or maybe it has litter location or maintenance preferences.
In other cases, however, it can be a more serious medical problem.
Recently Discovered My Cats Prefer To Sleep Behind My Gaming Husband Rather Than With Me In Bed
he might need to use the printer, after all, they are copy cats.

I Normally Feed Him At 5:30am. It Was 5:35am And I Was Still In Bed So I Got This Look
You horrible soft can-opener! Starving that poor, malnourished cat!
Mine licks my lips starting at 5:30. It feels like tuna scented sandpaper.
My little guy just stares at me and pats my hand until I get him the nightly chicken. He's irresistible.
In cases of medical issues, it can be bladder or urinary tract infections, constipation, or pain (or discomfort) caused by muscle or nerve conditions.
Whatever the case, again, seek veterinary attention if things with the litter box are off when they weren’t before.

To us, however, much of this looks quirky and goofy. It’s the right kind of behavior for memes to thrive online and even assume a life of its own.
And that’s why cats are still kings of the internet.

How dare you call that sweet innocent little cat stupid in his mind he is the smartest cat in the world so he nice 😂
One of my cats got caught in the sleeve of one of my work shirts... The noise she made in her distress will haunt me the rest of my days. I thought it was a matter of life and death: she was fine once I wrastled her out of it.

A Photo Of The Guy Who Barfed On Me At 4am While I Was Dead Asleep
Mine do me the courtesy of barring on the floor, right where my feet hit the floor. Cold and icky.
Mine does it throughout the house, but suspiciously often on places we usually walk...
Load More Replies...My kitty always makes sure that he runs away from the hardwood floor and onto the carpet. He's so considerate that way (hehehe)
Awwww his tummy was upset or he had a hairball. Give him some hugs and love.
Mine tends to try to make it to the spot under the bed that can't be reached from either side, without reorganising all the bedroom furniture.
This is why I'm so thankful I'm a light sleeper, I can get the cat off me before I get yucky all over me. It's almost happened before to me, but thankfully I've caught them in time and got the kitty to the floor.
Pretty happy that my kitten usually doesn't overeat and get sick. Sadly though she gets car sick. Although, usually when I travel with her, I've got her litter box in the car. And she graciously uses that to barf. Although there was that one time when she was mad at me and puked on a whole laundry basket of clean clothes
My cat always does this in the middle of the floor or on my mom's blanket WHILE SHE'S SLEEPING ON IT!
So Apparently In My Absence My Husband Has Hung Cat-Level Wall Art. So Sophisticated!

I have 2 cat pictures hanging almost to the floor next to the litter box. Cat has no idea about them but they make me smile. Plus they are paint by numbers my grandma did before she passed away almost 20 years ago. When you are scooping poop everyday nice to have some levity

Badger Didn't Come When I Called Him, So I Went To Investigate. Turns Out He Has No Paws!
Actually I met a kitten, I renamed it (long story) and within an hour, it came when called. I took care of a stray cat, named it, and called it when it was time for dinner. After only a few days, it came. Can’t remember the first type, but the second cat was a calico.

I used to do a loud double hand clap along with a loud "NO!" and that worked for Skitty walking across the kitchen tops, which worked. She was allowed everywhere else but not on the surfaces where I prepare food.
That worked for mine too. Also a rude scoop off the surface. The indignant walk out of the kitchen communicated it all!

That's a heckin amount of nip, there. I don't think you can take the defense that it's for personal use. Admit it, you're dealing nip.
Tim is going to need extra kibble. He's going to have a case of the munchies.
Our girls had gotten into a packet and I sent a pic to my son (21). His response? "That's not mine!" I sent the pic to show him they were being menaces. I laughed so hard I cried. Partially because I didn't think of it and partially because he was so quick to respond with that. I'm laughing again as I type this.
Yeah... uh, he looks a bit upset. Perhaps get him some preem 'nip instead of ditchweed next time.

Maybe if you treated him better at home he wouldn't go out prowling... ;-)
Ruined for life obviously. Kidding we should all be so lucky to get semi-permanent kisses. I used to to give my mostly white cat lipstick kisses all the time. Wish I had pictures but that was back in the olden days when you just kept things in your memories. Seriously though, he looked hilarious with all that hot pink lipstick on his mouth ......really the joke was on me because I ended up usually with a bunch of cat hair stuck to my lips YUK
I had to move in with my father to look after him. I have always had cats but he won't have them in his house. I miss having a cat so much.
