236 Times Pets Were Caught Red-Handed
Do you ever wonder what your pet does when you're at work all day? 'Sleeping like an angel' or 'guarding my house' might be among your top guesses... But what if your pet is actually up to no good without you knowing it?
Sometimes our four-legged buddies get caught in the scene of the crime red-pawed and with plenty of evidence to prove they were up to no good - and then their 'wasn't me' facial expressions are just epic.
Bored Panda has made a list of the funniest photos of pets caught doing something they shouldn't be doing.

Caught This Little Ornament Thief Red Handed
Wyndmere 9 years ago
I bought a cheap set of colored satin yarn covered styrofoam balls. I loaded the lower branches of my Christmas tree with them for my cat. They are pretty, and she has so much fun playing with them, she leaves the rest of the tree alone. They are easy to rehang for her. Watching her is entertaining for me, and there's no harm done.
