If you’ve ever met a cat, you know that there are only a few reasons it hasn’t destroyed you or all of mankind yet:

1) It’s busy napping,

2) It’s finalizing the purrfect plan,

3) Death is imminent, just give it time.

Now, cats are adorable, cuddly little creatures and most of them have hearts full of love. But in the words of the great author Terry Pratchett:

“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”

There is always a small part of any friendly feline that is willing to set the world on fire if it’s not treated with the respect it so rightfully deserves. You just need to catch them at the right moment to see them mulling over the possibilities.

Need proof? These 70 cats were caught at that moment. And while we can’t read minds, we’re pretty sure it’s not treats these cats are thinking about.
