161 Cats Who Immediately Regretted Their Poor Life Choices

ADVERTISEMENT

We took a lot of heat from dog owners after our last post about dogs that immediately regretted their poor life choices, so we decided it was time to spread the heat: this is Bored Panda's ultimate list of cat-fails!

Maybe cats are more agile, and maybe even more clever, but that just means that there's that much more trouble for them to get into. Have you ever caught your cat in a predicament? Post your photos below, or vote on your favorite!

I'm sure only the snowball is thrown by a human, the rest i have witnessed with my own cats. Yes, cats do make some poor choices and arre sometimes very clumsy. There is just a big difference between owners who first take a picture and post it before freeing the poor thing, or catowners who first save the cat and take a good laugh afterwards, when the cat is ok. I am the second kind

Most of these are horrible, cruel & verging on animal abuse. Yes, some of 'us' may find them funny, but there are a number of pictures where the cat must have been 'assisted' into the position & are clearly terrified. Not funny, not funny at all.

s a cat-owner i Know cats don't need human help for this. Only nr 8 has human assistance. It just didn't come to my mind to take a picture before freeing my clumsy cat from the window, when she got stuck in the same way. I have seen almost all these situations and all my cats own doing. I just havent'got photos, because to me it was more important to free my cat first and had a good laugh after she was freed and ok.

Clearly you have never had a cat... they stupid stuff like this all the time. No assistance needed from any human. A cat will often try and fit themselves through things and get stuck the presumption of abuse just baffles me here. All I see is cats being cats. I have even seen number 8 replicated where the cat was walking along the top of the sofa and slid down the side ending up with claws of one poor stuck in the top of the sofa.
