If you own a cat or know someone that owns a cat, then you know one thing to certainly be true – cats can be real jerks. Don’t get us wrong, we love cats! They’re amazing! They’re self-sufficient, they’re funny, they can be cuddly (sometimes), but you have to admit it – they can be mean for no reason at all. Here’s proof.
Here are 65 stories from cat owners sharing the times when their cat was caught being…less than enjoyable to be around.
If you’ve ever spent time with a cat…you’ll be able to relate.
1) Evil genius
If you didn’t think that you can train a cat, think again! This person’s dad taught their cat a very interesting trick…turning on and off the lights. And, of course, in typical cat fashion, they like to turn the lights off when she’s in the shower.
2) Muzzle required
We’ve seen dogs that require a muzzle when they go to the vet or out in public, but a cat? Yikes! They look like such a sweet angel when they’re sleeping though…
3) Cats are weird with water
This Reddit user’s cat has a weird way with water. They feel the need to splash around in it before drinking it but then freak out if they get wet. We just can’t explain it.
4) The cat who actually hates you
“Peed into my keyboard. I was wondering why it stopped working all of sudden and just as I lifted it, the piss dripped all over me. That day I realized just how much she hates me,” shared The_Longest_Wave. And this is why we can’t have nice things.
5) What nightmares are made of
“Killed a lizard in the middle of the night and gently placed it on my face as I slept,” shared a Reddit user. I mean, it’s nice that they wanted to give you a gift but…a dead lizard on the face? Oh no!
6) Scars to remind you
No matter how rude or violent our cats can be toward us, we seem to always forgive them? Why? We’re not entirely sure. Because they’re cute? Who knows. They have us wrapped around their little furry, clawed fingers.
7) Dreaded orange sticker
Cats plus the vet really just don’t ever mix. At least we haven’t seen it. This cat, for example, needs to be completely sedated if they’re going to have any lab tests done. But, hey! She could be sweet…sometimes.
8) No phones in bed
“Our cat has a very strict “no phones in bed” rule. If she sees that phone glow after lights are out for the night, she’ll wedge herself between the screen and your face and refuse to move until you turn it off and put it away,” shared goodhonestirony. At least your cat is trying to make you live in the present! Might be a little jerky, but overall, it’s sweet.
9) Poor ferret
“She likes to slap my ferret. It’s kinda funny but totally mean because my ferret is literally minding his own business and she’ll come running and just hit him for no reason,” posted chicken_bits. Did this ferret do something to the cat? Probably not. Cats can just be plain mean.
10) And yet…we love them
“Pee in various locations. Throw up in various locations. Dropping a half-chewed up mouse in the middle of the hallway. (Damn, them intestines). Open my door loudly, meow for half an hour, then f*** off and go back downstairs. Cats are cute but they’re ALSO DEMONS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION WHO ARE HELLBENT ON DESTROYING MY SANITY,” posted roguetroll. They pee all over, puke all over, and bring us dead things – and yet? We bend over backwards for them.
11) 1st girlfriend problems
This girlfriend will forever be competing with her boyfriend’s “first girlfriend.” It sounds like she’s laid her claim and has no intention of giving it up. Sorry, girlfriend.
12) Urgent care visit
Instead of taking their cat, Clancy, to the vet, they ended up taking themselves to urgent care. Not exactly what they had planned for the day. Those might leave a scar or two. Yikes.
13) The old sneeze trick
“I had two Scottish folds who somehow knew that if they sneezed on my food they would get it. I was forced to stop eating in front of the TV and instead had to eat at the kitchen table,” shared this Reddit user. These smart kitties learned out to get what they want!
14) “Oh, were you sleeping?”
“Mine is an attention wore [sic] and chews plastic or any sort of crinkly materials to wake me up in the middle of the night so she can get claps and cozies. She also likes to dive-bomb onto my chest when I’m sleeping from the top of the bookshelf. It hurts and I’m pretty sure she knows it,” said SilverHalidephoto. I think every cat owner knows about that painful dive bomb. Ouch.
15) So rude
“She begged me to clean the litter, which wasn’t dirty, but I made a show of it anyway. Then walked over to the corner, looked me right in the eye, and took a poop on the carpet. It was then that I knew the true meaning of ‘assert dominance,'” said Yabba_Dabba_Doofus. And cats don’t know whey they’re doing? Yeah, right.
16) Bait and switch
Cats love laying on top of warm laundry. So, this owner found the perfect way to trap them in order to take them to the vet. We’re certain that this can’t go on forever though, the cat is going to catch on soon.
17) Raging hell spawn
It’s safe to say that there’s not one cat in the entire universe that likes going to the vet. It doesn’t mattter how sweet they are at home. At the vet? All bets are off.
18) Does this help?
“I couldn’t find my passport the night before an international flight. I seriously and increasingly frantically pulled the house apart. My cat must have thought I was trying to catch a mouse so kindly brought me a half dead one,” shared ihearthetrain. This cat was just trying to be sweet but…the ‘present’ was a bit gross.
19) This dynamic duo
“For awhile there we thought my dog was stealing pizzas if we left them to cool on the counter. Nope. Caught the cat framing the dog. Left a pizza on the counter and left the room to do a little recon. Dog was salivating while staring longingly at the pizza. Cat strolls in, jumps up on the counter, stares at the dog and begins to paw the pizza over the edge onto the floor. Dog immediately puts his tail between his legs and starts to back away. Cat was staring at him the whole time. Pizza hit the floor and you could see how hard dog was trying to resist, but he jumped in and started going to town,” shared Hovie1.
20) Oh, that was your favorite?
“Dragged my favorite white shirt into his litter box, pissed on it, and then buried it with poopy litter,” posted Ihadtoweighin. Were they trying to be nice in a weird, cat kinda way? Or was this straight malice?
21) Loved in spite of it all
Despite the fact that this cat seems to be an absolute terror, she has still won her owners over. Scars and all. And that pretty much sums up our relationship with cats.
22) So, now what?
We’re not sure how this cat owner will ever get medical care for their fur baby but…so far, not so good. Even with a muzzle, this cat is a terror. Somehow? It has still found an owner to love them.
23) Picky drinkers
“My cats refuse to drink from the water dish. We have a bathtub faucet that has a slow constant drip. They will sit out side the bathroom bagging to get in for hours to drink from the bathtub instead of drinking from the water dish,” shared a Reddit user. What is with cats being weird with drinking out of faucets?
24) Cats + Christmas Trees = Disaster
“I knew he was going to try and climb into the Christmas tree so I put an eye hook on the ceiling and used a thin metal cable to secure it. Didn’t matter, middle of the night we hear a bang and the sound of our cat tangled in the lighting screaming on the top of his lungs. Best part was trying to untangle him, he bit me twice so I had to get a pair of thick leather gloves,” shared MadLintElf. This is one of countless Christmas tree stories from cat owners!
25) The list is long with this one
“Where do I even start?!?! Left a baby rattlesnake under the kitchen table, countless glasses gently brushed off the table onto the floor, using the liter box then running away from it like crazy with dingle-berries still attached so I have to then chase after and remove, ohhh and one time while washing dishes I adjusted my footing and stepped on her tail, she runs away, comes back 10 minutes later (while i’m still washing dishes) and claws up the back of my leg, blood & soapy water everywhere. Meow,” shared TheLifeofDime.
26) So sneaky
Not only can cats be jerks…but they can do it in a mean, manipulative, and straight sadistic kind of way. Like this cat, for example. So calculated.
27) Special entrance
This cat is so crazy when they go to the vet that they have to go through a special door when they arrive. Now, that’s next-level cat-crazy! Of course, they claim they’re a total sweetheart at home.
28) Invisible glass
“The glass top of my coffee table broke, and I had removed it; she went to jump on it. The funny part wasn’t that she was surprised she had landed under the table instead of on top of it; it was when she looked up where the glass was supposed to be, walked out of the table frame, and immediately tried it again,” shared nativefloridian. They might not be the brightest, but you gotta had it to them for perseverence.
29) Money in the garbage
“He dragged a 12 pack of toilet paper out from underneath the sink and proceeded to shred every single roll all over my room,” said a Reddit user. Guess money grows on trees. Wait…no, it doesn’t at all.
30) Lovely sight to wake up to
“Ate a dead mouse on my chest while I was sleep I woke up to her half way through her meal,” posted Bobozmbiecan. Nothing like waking up to a bloody, dead creature on your chest. What a sight to see first thing in the morning!
31) Sassy and scary
We didn’t realize so many cats needed to be sedated just to go to the vet’s office for the simplest thing. Apparently, it’s more common than we thought. Cats can switch to total crazy mode in a matter of seconds.
32) Fire? What fire?
“On the evening we came home from Thanksgiving my husband lit a scented candle on the table. About half an hour later our 10 year old torbie climbs up on the table, walks over to the candle, and belly flops down onto it. She instantly bursts into flames, but has such long hair that she didn’t feel it and just lay there while my husband patted out the fire,” shared badgermom2d6. We like how she just laid there while she was completely up in flames. Cats are so weird.
33) No more blackout curtains
“I wake up one morning. First thing I see was my cat staring at me. Then I noticed she’s staring at me from the window ledge. Then I noticed a HUGE hole on the curtain that covers up my room and the world outside. She’s staring at me through the big hole she created with that “What are you going to do about it?” look,” said Mr_Brown_Pants.
34) Awww, thank you!
“My cat took a fresh piece of its poop out of the litter box and played soccer with it resulting in poo streaks all over the floor,” posted Wowdudebummer. Normally, we’d like to think of cats as really clean creatures. But, apparently, that’s not always the case.
35) No boys allowed
Cats can become super territorial and possessive of their owners. In this case, they were anti-anyone-who-is-male. Not a good thing for any potential partners.
36) The exception
It looks like this cat knew exactly how to get out of wearing the ‘cone of shame’ from the vet. And it’s always impressive when even the most experienced animal person can’t deal with an ornery cat. Way to go, cat.
37) Q-Tip fetish
“My girlfriends cat absolutely loves digging through the garbage can. The thing is, he is solely directed towards finding and devouring used q-tips. This is just one thing that he enjoys doing, but he’s an interesting and odd little kitty. I can never quite tell if he’s extremely intelligent or mentally challenged as it’s he doesn’t act like most cats,” said CaveteDraconis.
38) Destructor of screens
“The amount of money I’ve spent on replacement screens is ridiculous,” said a Reddit user. Whether you have a screen, blinds, or curtains – your cat will most definitely ruin them. Better not invest in anything too expensive!
39) Too smart for their own good
“My cat once siphoned the fish tank. He was intently watching as my step dad changed the water one day, only to siphon the bastard off through one of the tubes that night to get at the bloody fish!” shared caffeineandhatred. How does this person feel comfortable falling asleep at night?
40) Break out the gloves
Jack might be handsome but don’t let those devilish good looks fool you! Behind those pretty eyes is a total maniac when it comes to the vet. They even have to break out special gloves.
41) Watch out for Jack!
The cat from the previous slide was named Jack and here we have yet another Jack who is a little bit of a terror. Maybe it’s the name? Who knows. But we see a trend here.
42) No more mail for you
“She attacked the mailman like a full grown pit bull. She was a friendly cat, but something about the mailman pissed her off. We even got a notice warning any further incidents would lead to our house being blacklisted,” shared FusRoDoodles. To receive a warning is actually pretty impressive.
43) Purposefully mean
“Held eye contact with me as he peed on my clean laundry,” said a Reddit user. This cat must have been really upset with their owner that day. Or…they just felt like being a jerk.
44) Bunny murdered
“Put a dead baby bunny on my pillow. At that point I demanded that our cats become strictly inside cats, and fortunately my parents didn’t argue,” shared acorngirl. We’d have to say that would be absolutely heartbreaking to wake up to. Inside forever, cat!
45) This fun game
Here’s a fun game that this cat likes to play with anyone who is foolish to try. Note to anyone at this person’s house: if you see the cat on the door, run by quickly and do not engage.
46) What a little angel
When a cat tears through falcon gloves with their claws, that’s pretty darn terrifying. Those little paws pack a mean punch when they want to. And they always want to when they’re at the vet.
47) Classic cat move
“My naughtier kitten, who I was working with on getting her to not to jump on counters, entered the kitchen one day as I was putting the milk away for a protein shake. As I turned back around, shutting the fridge, I see her in mid-leap. Cue dramatic “Nooooooooo!” and her attempting to turn around in air. She fails, and hits the bottle. Chocolate shake goes all over the counter and floor. Tiniest chocolate paw prints exit the kitchen. I have much cleaning to do before work,” posted justjking.
48) No treat? No air
“My cat, if he doesn’t get enough treats in one day, will sit on your face while you’re sleeping and basically suffocate you till you wake up gasping for breath and then he’ll just sit and meow until you give him treats. On a happier note, he hates children almost as much as I do,” shared Loves_me_tacos125. Suffocation is always a good tactic to get what you want – said all the psycho cats out there.
49) The silent puke
“Puked under my computer chair. Normally, cats are loud as hell when they puke. This was some tactical stealth shit. Rolled back to grab a drink and stepped in it with my socks. Felt slight dampness and moved the chair further to see what I stepped in. Do you know how hard it is to clean the wheels on an office chair? I know,” posted Lckmn.
50) Separation anxiety
This cat just couldn’t deal when one of their owners had gone off to college. So, to rebel? They decided to let the rest of the people in the house know that they were very, very upset. Hope you have a good vacuum!
51) What a lovely sound
There is something about cat ‘yells’ and moans that are one of the strangest, most intense sounds ever. We can only imagine that this vet will remember this cat for the rest of their career. How do those sounds come out of such a cute creature?
52) This little killer
“Our cat, Banksy, likes to “drown” his toys. He’s constantly putting them in his fountain. Funnily enough, he seems to favor drowning his squid, Cthulu, the most,” shared grapefruit_thyme. Just be glad the cat isn’t big enough to put you in the fountain.
53) Not very graceful
“My sister’s cat crawled up the curtains and somehow got on the ceiling fan and fell off, claws out on my face when I was 4. Still have a scar across my cheek,” posted Acaibowl365. Now, that’s an experience that probably left both physical and mental scars.
54) Thanks for the…present?
“Pooped in my wife’s shoes. She really enjoyed finding that,” shared MTOMalley. Ahhh, yes. That’s every woman’s dream – to find cat poo in their favorite pair of shoes. Thanks so much, cat!
55) You’re missed, Sparky
Sparky might be gone from this earth but his legacy will live on forever. Both at home and at the vet’s office. RIP you little ninja, you.
56) That’s two ‘verys’
Not only is this cat ‘very aggressive’ when it comes to the vet’s office. They’re ‘very, very aggressive’. The owner had to confirm that it was indeed two ‘verys’…and it was.
57) At least it wasn’t dead?
“My cat brought a live chipmunk into my house at 12 am. It was pretty entertaining watching my dad chase a chipmunk around the living room with a box,” shared csunshine18. At least it wasn’t a bloody and dead chipmunk? Hopefully they were able to catch and relase the scared little critter.
58) No more screentime
“My cat wasn’t getting enough attention, so he plopped right on my laptop while I was having a skype call and turned it off,” said Elturtleo. Whatever the cat says…goes. Haven’t you learned that by now?
59) Bye, bye deposit!
“Ruin my couch in a furnished apartment by clawing and peeing on it. $350 plus deposit gone,” posted Lylohcat. And this, folks, is why you can’t own nice things when you’re a pet owner. It’s just impossible.
60) The audacity
A new kid came into the picture and this cat just wasn’t having it. How dare someone else come in and try to get all the attention. So? She needed to find a new home. Sorry, Maya!
61) Can you blame her?
Misu – we gotta say, we support your decisions. Ice cream is delicious and we can’t blame you for trying to get a bite whenever you can. Especially when it’s Haagen Dazs!
62) Passion of 1,000 burning suns
To have the passion of 1,000 burning suns against you – it’s probably not a good sign. And yet? As humans do, they love the cat anyway. Cats will soon take over the earth.
63) No more cleaning services
Looks like this person is back to cleaning their home on their own. Sacco here isn’t a fan of someone else in the house doing it. Don’t let this picture fool you – Sacco has a mean side.
64) Cute but deadly
Smokey might be a beautiful cat but don’t let those pretty eyes draw you in too close – you’ll end up with scars. No, literally. Even the giant dog is scared of this furry girl.
65) Break out the protective gear
It took a lot of people and a lot of protective gear to wrangle in Beadie, bless her soul. But we have a feeling her memory will live on forever. Possibly in the form of scars.

Cats might be the biggest jerks ever…but that doesn’t stop us from loving the heck out of them!
