50 Times Cat Owners Hilariously Caught Their Beloved Pets Malfunctioning (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
What do ghosts and cats have in common? They’ll both knock objects off shelves and countertops when you’re not looking. They’ll both hide in your closet and be impossible to find when you’re looking for them. And they’ll both exhibit bizarre behavior that you’ll never truly understand!
If you’re a cat owner who has seen your furry friend do some strange things, you’re not alone, pandas. Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite photos from the What’s Wrong With Your Cat subreddit featuring kitties that appear to be malfunctioning. Keep reading to find conversations with Cathrine Garnell, the woman behind the Bionic Basil & the B Team blog, and Rita Reimers, Co-Founder and Cat Behavior Trainer at Cat Behavior Alliance. And be sure to upvote the kitties that you consider purrfect, regardless of how odd they act!

Belly Pouch Is In The Way
Mechanician 2 years ago
Loose skin is not a bug. It's a feature. If a cat is caught by a larger predator or loses a fight with another tomcat, they can twist inside their own skin to counterattack and escape. It's also, of course, useful for mama cats who need to move young kittens without restricting their airways.

He Likes Shoes
PlatinumThe8-BitCat 2 years ago
I don’t know why, but for some reason one of my cats REALLY likes shoes. I think it’s because one day a lizard got in my house and climbed in my shoe rack and he crawled through it trying to get the lizard and just became fascinated with shoes, because he’s played with them ever since then

He Stands To 💩! Why? Crazy Cat
Kallen Kneeland 2 years ago
The box looks too small for him to comfortably squat. He's doing you a favor to use it anyway - he could use the tub! (Unless the box looks like that because of the angle of the photo?)

Good Thing I Checked The Dryer
Mechanician 2 years ago
Discourage this. I usually will not support scaring a cat to change a behavior, but this is an exception. Kitties do die this way and it's a risk they cannot understand. Bang on the dryer, and teach them it's just a scary place, because it is.
