Hilarious pics of cats who forgot how to be cats
Trending Now
Cats are endlessly intriguing animals. They’ll offer affection—but always on their own terms, since loyalty isn’t really their strong suit. Still, give them food, a warm place to relax, and some gentle attention, and they’ll reward you with a lifetime of uniquely quirky companionship.
Some cats become so at ease with their humans that they almost seem to forget they’re not one of us.
“He’s About To Speak Italian”
What if cats had nationalities like people do? After all, they can learn commands in any language you teach them—so in a way, they’re fluent in multiple “cat languages” and could proudly represent different nationalities. It’s fun to imagine our feline friends embracing a global identity just like we do!
“Is This What They Call Cubism?”
Everything’s totally scrambled—a leg sprawled across a face, a tail dangling over an ear—it’s absolute chaos. Yet somehow, cats manage to twist into the wildest shapes just to claim their spot. Honestly, with those contortionist moves, they could put on the greatest circus show ever.
Where The Human Goes, The Cat Follows
There’s something surprisingly sweet about how excited this cat looks just for crawling into its human’s pants while they’re on the toilet. Sure, privacy might be out the window, but moments like these remind us that happiness often comes from the tiniest, quirkiest interactions—especially when cats are part of the picture!
No Means No
This cat is downright resolute about avoiding the car ride. Where there’s a will, there’s a way—and here, that means balancing precariously on the tiniest door handle to stop you from opening the door. If it fits, it sits—and your trip is officially on hold.
A Good Long Stretch
Who can resist a satisfying stretch? It’s a great way to see just how long a cat really is when it fully extends its legs—quite a contrast to their usual compact, four-legged trot. Now picture if they stood tall like us… imagine all the trouble those lanky troublemakers could cause!
“She Yells Until I Let Her Join Me In The Bathtub”
Aren’t cats usually afraid of water? It’s definitely unusual to see them actually seeking it out.
“I Think The Batteries Are Low”
They’ve likely burned all their energy darting around and causing mischief while their owner was away—so now they’re completely wiped out. Well, except for the energy it takes to beg for food and cling to their cat tree.
Showing Off Some Leg
A little leg stretch never hurt, especially when you’ve got moves like this cat.
This moment happened during a work conference call. While quarantined, the whole team had been sharing “take your pet to work” photos, and this one perfectly captured the vibe of those days.
Just Gonna Take A Nap Right Here
This cat was so worn out it didn’t even make it to its bed, instead collapsing on the first flat surface it came across. Sure, the floor might have been more level and comfy, but apparently the shelf was the preferred choice.
A Dramatic Yawn
“We’ve welcomed a complete goofball into the family. A total drama queen.”
That’s a sure sign this cat has truly become one of the household. It’s actually pretty common for cats to pick up on and imitate their humans’ behaviors.
“Does Anyone Else’s Cat Sit Like This, Or Are Yours Normal?”
Some might call this a power pose, while others would argue it’s a next-level yoga move the rest of us could only dream of mastering.
It takes a solid moment of study just to figure out how this cat managed to twist itself into such a pretzel-like position.
Life Is Better Upside Down
This cat is either attempting to decipher some upside-down text or hoping it can disappear by folding itself into another dimension before it gets caught doing something naughty. Regardless of the motive, it’s ridiculously adorable.
“A Threatening Aura”
Fun fact: cats use all their senses—including taste—to navigate their surroundings. They even have scent receptors on the roof of their mouth, allowing them to collect pheromones with their tongue and analyze them for extra intel. But let’s be honest, that’s probably not what this little weirdo is up to right now.
Lockdown Drove Us All Crazy
The lockdown was tough on all of us, and our pets weren’t immune either. Cats are usually experts at getting into mischief when we’re away, so you can imagine how frustrating it must have been for them to hold back and behave with us being home all the time.
“I Think My Cat Took It Personally”
Cats may not be loyal, but they’re quite territorial and possessive.
This face basically says, “How dare you come home with another cat plastered on your face? That should have been me!”
Another Cat That Needs To Be Saved From A Tree
The heroic act of saving a cat from a tree has basically become a comedic trope in movies and television, but clearly, it’s still a vital act because cats do still manage to get stuck in trees today.
“My Friend’s Explanation Is ‘He’s Just weird, IDK'”
Animals actually have really expressive faces. You can see the pure excitement and happiness not only on this cat’s face with its little smile, but also in the way it’s starfishing the air.
Claws Come In Handy
That’s one way to climb up and also to get stuck. Clearly they weren’t allowed outside, and in typical cat fashion, they tried to go anyway and karma took care of the rest.
Lurking In The Shadows
This cat apparently does this every time their person unloads the dishwasher. It could be that it’s just attracted to the heat that comes out of the machine, or it could be that it’s just being a jerk in natural cat fashion.
“Whatever Is Comfy, I Guess”
That must require some level of spinal flexibility we humans do not possess. Its legs literarily go past where its head is. It’s almost bending the same way spaghetti looks when it pokes out of the pot.
“Come Love Me!!”
Meet Katsu, a dramatic and needy boy who likes to scream for his human. When cats want attention, they want it NOW. And they will jump on you or whatever is in front of you until they get it.
Try picking them up when YOU want affection, though, and they will claw their way out.
Best Friends Know Sharing Is Caring
It doesn’t matter how small the space is, if they fit, they sit. They’re best friends and they will squeeze in so they can still be together to chill. They even made space for their toys.
The Look Of Sheer Curiosity
This cat wanted to look out the car window but knew she couldn’t leave the cat carrier, so this was her compromise. She’s trying so hard to get a good glimpse of the big world outside the walls she knows.
A Born Hunter
“Some cats hunt mice and bring them to you as a gift. My cat hunts bread.” If you think about it, though, which one is more beneficial to you? Having a bread valet service every time you’re hungry, or getting a dead mouse to kill your appetite?
“Guys, Please, What’s Wrong With My Bat?”
The cat looks like it’s actually showing off its acrobatic abilities and looking straight into the camera. Someone get this cat into Hollywood. It’s meant for bigger and better things.
Casually Saying Hello
“Even more heartwarming is that it was a ‘mommy’s home’ reaction.” It goes to show that cats have their moments and can be quite loving sometimes, just on their own terms.
“He Sleeps Like A Thanksgiving Turkey”
He even has the coloring of a turkey, funnily enough. How cute would it be to dress him up as a turkey for Halloween? Or is that a recipe for disaster?
“He’s Trying To Pass Out In Anger…”
Is it even possible for a cat to look mad when it has a big furry heart painted on her?! She can throw a tantrum anytime she wants, but it’s always just going to look adorable instead.
