But if, for whatever reason, you're still not sure whether or not felines can reveal their genuine personalities to us, there's a fun social media project that will clear all the doubts.
Called 'Weird Lil Guys,' it shares pictures of moments when cats embraced their quirky side. From helping their owners change a lightbulb to fighting a pumpkin, continue scrolling to check them out!

"One day, I WILL RULE ALL OF YOU!" Aww does someone need a chin scritch??
Is that a white shepherd dog? I believe they're known for their goodnaturedness, so cute!!
So why are cats so weird? According to a video from TED Ed, narrated by Tony Buffington, an Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, there's a perfectly logical explanation for it.
"Cats today retain many of the same instincts that allowed them to thrive in the wild for millions of years," he said. "This explains some of their seemingly strange behaviors: To them, our homes are their jungles."
they tend to shy away from the endeavor ... tough to breath in a vacuum

These two are recovering from anesthesia, probably had their teeth cleaned. This is what your cat looks like just after the breathing tube is pulled out. We pull their tongues out of the way to make sure their airways are clear and they can breathe easier Source: I'm a former veterinary nurse
I thought this was a little too wacky...like something seemed off. Thanks for the likely explanation!

Load More Replies...That look! As if he really is listening, understanding every word
Kitty is photoshopped. Cats don't sit like that.
I think the cat probably has a physical disability - either some sort of spinal issue or partial paralysis or something
Load More Replies...To illustrate this concept, here are the explanations from the video, based on the hypothetical life of Grizmo the cat:
Why do cats love the highest spot in the house? "Enabled by their unique muscular structure and keen balancing abilities, cats climbed to high vantage points to survey their territory and do spot prey in the wild. Grizmo doesn't need these particular skills to find and hunt down dinner in her food bowl today, but, instinctually, viewing the living room from the top of the bookcase is exactly what she's evolved to do."
She should have never visited the Hummels! Damn that scarlet fever!
Never saw That Twist! But with 476 pages left, this has got to be a Stephen King! You won't know til page 469.
The book is opened too near the beginning for there to be any plot revelations. More likely, the little guy is shocked by the huge blocks of text with hardly any paragraph breaks.
Maybe the kitty reads right to left and back to front.

Load More Replies...Not many people know this, but the Egyptians used cats to make sure the corners of the pyramids were square.
Oh holy cat descendants of the goddess (insert cat goddess name), please help us build this temple in your honor.
Load More Replies...Why do cats love to attack small objects? "As wild predators, cats are opportunistic and hunt whenever prey is available. Since most cat prey are small, cats in the wild need to eat many times each day, and use a stalk-pounce-kill-eat strategy to stay fed. This is why Grizmo prefers to chase and pounce on little toys, and eats small meals over the course of the day and night."
When you get into a fight with your sibling and they're about to cry, but you hear your mom coming
"holy s**t steve you cant just insult people like that!"
Shut up. Remember you didn't see anything. Respect fat Roger, you didn't see anything if you want a stream of fat rats to keep coming into your area, kitty, You want it, you want it.
OH MY GOD HOW IS IT SO SMALL AND FLOOFY AND PRECIOUS. also that tail is wagging so fast it's a tiny little blur.
Sure there IS a tail? Looks kind of bobtail to me.
Load More Replies...Why do cats go into small spaces? "Small prey tend to hide in tiny spaces in their natural environments. So one explanation for Grizmo's propensity to reach into containers and openings is that she's compelled by the same curiosity that helped ensure the continuation of her species for millions of years before."
Some silly soft can-opener thought we wouldn't know that the door is made of paper.
According to my mom, this is what my cat does every day when she hears the garage door open. If it is anyone but me coming home from work, she gets very disappointed.
He wasn’t exactly sure when he began to suspect his wife was cheating…
Cute. Not meaning to spoil it but that crease on the last pig on the right makes me wonder if it is PS or if it has been tampered with
Aww, my two orange cats used to do this. They were brothers: Shy Bruddah and Hurt Bruddah (Hurt Bruddah had an ear infection and his ear went cauliflower, so we called him "Hurtbruddah")
OMG ITS THAT SCENE IN UMMM THE OLD DISNEY MOVIE ABT THE MAMA CAT AND KITTENS PANDAS PLS HELP ME OUT
Why do cats sharpen their claws on the couch? "In the wild, cats needed sharp claws for climbing, hunting, and self-defense. Sharpening their claws on nearby surfaces kept them conditioned and ready, helped stretch their back and leg muscles, and relieved some stress, too. So it's not that Grizmo hates your couch, chair, ottoman, pillows, curtains, and everything else you put in her environment. She's ripping these things to shreds and keeping her claws in tip-top shape because this is exactly what her ancestors did in order to survive."
That was my first thought too. Hope the cat doesn’t eat or chew on the leaves.

My tabby will also do this if given the opportunity. Little turd would almost stand on his head for da chimken
Hah! My cat dragged off a packet of turkey lunchmeat once. I still have the scar from trying to negotiate its return.
Why do cats sleep in strange places? "As animals that were preyed upon, cats evolved to not get caught. And in the wild, the cats that were the best at avoiding predators thrived. So at your house today, Grizmo is an expert at squeezing into small spaces and seeking out and hiding in unconventional spots. It also explains why she prefers a clean and odor-free litter box; that's less likely to give away her location to any predators that may be sniffing around nearby."
Just because I'm pooping doesn't mean I'm not the prettiest, daintiest kitty in the world
A friend's male cat always peed out of the box no matter the size. Finally resorted to an 18 gallon storage bin. Now he stands up like he's at a urinal. :D
Anyone'd think you people have been so drunk that you had to keep one foot on the floor to stop the bed spinning. Kitty's just had a night on the tiles.
"Why do you do this nonsense when you could just lick yourself hooman..."
They go through skin like a knife through butter.

Why do cats purr? "Considering everything we do know about cats, it seems that one of their most predominant behaviors is still one of the most mysterious. Cats may purr for any number of reasons, such as happiness, stress, and hunger. But curiously, the frequency of their purrs — between 25 and 150 hertz — is within a range that can promote tissue regeneration. So while her purring makes Grizmo an excellent nap companion, it is also possible that her purr is healing her muscles and bones — and maybe even yours, too."
Which one you'll get depends on if you do your chores and my meals are there when I need them to be...
Growing up, my cat loved to look at herself in big, shiny Christmas balls. Closer, farther, closer, farther…
theres something about cats being up close to a camera or pictures that have the .5 setting with faces like those that just make me laugh. its my favorite thing on this earth
So as contradictory as it may sound, cats are basically domesticated wild animals trying to adapt to our humans' unusual homes.

They all lay on top of the boxes instead of inside the cat holes hahaha
There are no empty boxes in my house. Even if it looks empty when you’re holding it, the second you put it down it WILL have a cat in it. Regardless of size, shape, or previous contents
Probably because they live outside! OP’s trying to catch ‘em all (why is there no pokeball emoji)
Load More Replies...When I get a package in a big box I think the cats will like to play in it and leave it on the floor of the living room. Somehow they never use it, som my cats must be weirdo's too.
I love it when normal people have an acting talent...I may have some talents but I could never deliver such a facial expression for a staged photo like this guy.....and as far as I remember, the braincell in the photo is called "Dobby «...

"Azhrarn, Lord of Chaos, made a wager with Uhlume, Lord of Death, that he could convince Man to willingly accept snakes into his dwellings. Lord Uhlume accepted, for he knew the great fear and revulsion that Man had for the Ophidians. But Azhrarn was cunning, and took some of the snake's length and used it to fashion legs, that it could walk and leap, and not slither in that manner Men found repulsive. He wrapped it in fur, that it be warm and not off-puttingly cold. He added ears and a voice, to further disguise the serpent. And he gifted it to Man, telling him that it would guard his granaries (which the snake was pleased enough to do, as it enjoyed mice). So it was that Man adopted snakes as welcomed companions, though Lord Uhlume and Azhrarn disputed the legitimacy of the wager for eons."

"And the cat's in the manger and the silver spoon". Wait...that now how that song goes
There's an old, old story. If you look at a tabby cat's forehead you can see an "M" etched there in little fur colors. Legend has it that since there was no room at the Inn, Jesus's birth night became very, very cold. He whimpered and cried a little because Mary and Joseph couldn't get him warm enough. So, a little tabby cat came to the rescue and snuggled the baby Jesus deep within his manger. With little thought for herself, Tabby kept him sweetly warm throughout the cold night. The next morning to show her gratitude Mary blessed all tabby cats with her mark to let the world and people know how special they are and how Our Lady loves them.
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. There wasn't much room in the stable, either, because a giant ginger cat had taken up residence." (King James Bible, Revised Edition)
