A knocked-over glass, a shredded piece of paper, or a suspicious mess on the kitchen floor can tell you a lot about what happened when nobody was watching. And sometimes, the main suspect is sitting right beside the evidence, looking far too pleased with themselves to even pretend they are innocent.
The best part is that these little household disasters often come with a furry face and absolutely no sense of guilt. Thankfully, some pet owners are documenting the evidence instead of letting these crimes go unreported. The Reddit page CrimeCats is dedicated to pictures of cats caught plotting, carrying out, or proudly sitting beside the aftermath of their latest misdeeds.
From suspicious stares to full-blown scenes of destruction, these feline offenders make a compelling case for keeping a close eye on the household. Here are some of the funniest examples shared on the page, and you might want to keep an eye on your own cat while you scroll.
