There’s no denying that cats are lovable pets. However, there are times when they can be more of a nuisance. The images you’re about to see are proof of that.
This Facebook group gathers memes, images, and stories from people showing a cat’s least adorable side. Some posts come from personal experiences; others poke fun at a feline’s known quirky behaviors.
We’ve collected some of the funniest and perhaps most relatable ones for you to kill time with today. Cat parents, you’ve likely had similar experiences.

The reason why cats act out is likely similar to when a human does: it’s likely a physical issue. As certified animal behaviorist Dr. Mikel Delgado said in an interview with Slate, their sudden attitude change could be driven by hunger.
However, Dr. Delgado also recommends a vet visit because there could be an underlying issue like hyperthyroidism. Some symptoms come in the form of erratic behavior changes.
“You’ll see the cat get ramped up,” she explained. “Suddenly, they’re a pain in the butt, and they start meowing at night. They’re more active—they’re running around.”
If the vet gives your cat a clean bill of health, Dr. Delgado says it may just be bored and require some form of stimulation. Just like humans, cats act out because of boredom.
In this case, Dr. Delgado recommends ramping up exercise routines, adding food puzzles, and increasing clicker training. This will allow your pets to learn to receive rewards for good behavior.

Mine did it with the "tap on/off" water faucet just to get a fresh drink, and then never turned it off. I no longer have said faucet.
However, giving your feline friend too much attention can backfire on you. As Dr. Delgado explained, any reaction form of response to a behavior could come off as an affirmation.
“Licking the plate is already rewarding, and then you’re adding the human attention, so it’s like double rewarding,” she explained, adding that handling such situations calmly is the best approach.
Research has shown that cats are just as affectionate with humans as dogs are. However, experts agree that their actions sometimes don’t match their feelings.
A purring cat may indicate happiness, but according to University of Georgia veterinary professor Sharon Cromwell-Davis, it could be a sign that it needs care.
Meows also mean they are trying to interact with humans. As anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw explained, domesticated cats, in particular, have learned to use it as a communication tool since they don’t meow at fellow felines.
Ultimately, it’s about learning to read your beloved cat. Cat expert and writer Franny Syufy takes care of eight felines and advises taking mental notes, if necessary.
“Pay attention to body language, vocalizations, time of day, and what your cat just did,” Syufy wrote in an article for Spruce Pets. “With time and careful observation, you’ll likely begin to piece together the triggers of your cat’s craziness in various situations.”
Cat parents, we’d love to hear from you. What challenges do you commonly face, and what is your number one approach to solving them? Share your tips in the comments!

Back when my daughter was a baby, and I was breastfeeding, I used to get very thirsty during the night so I kept a glass of water by the bed. I could never work out why the water level was always lower than I expected it to be. Was I suffering sleep-deprivation memory loss? Then I woke up one night to hear a mysterious sloshing noise on the bedside table...

That's the designated spot. Obviously the carpet is there to protect the floor.

It's proper to mark the box as our territory. Why DO you steal our poop anyway? Soft can-openers are SO weird!

My boy has actually always been good about using the beds we give him. I guess this is the trade off for how much he bites me.

There are some nasty trolls here. I up voted to counter their down votes, but either there's more than one troll, or it's one troll with more than one account. All I can say is, "Get a life!"
