Cats can get themselves into a lot of compromising positions. That’s because they like to explore. They are, after all, curious.
But that curiosity can get them into trouble sometimes. Trouble that they can’t get themselves out of. And you’ll also find them regretting their actions.
Cats can fail pretty hard sometimes. Thankfully they have their humans to help bail them out. And it gives us a good laugh.
