hooligans

Listen, you signed up for this, okay? When you got your adorable little fluffball, you knew that you were getting both someone that will love you and will be your bestest friend but also... a tiny demon. That's just how cats are. But that doesn't mean that we're not allowed to be fondly fed up with them sometimes. 

A tweet went viral, showcasing exactly that kind of fondly fed up cat owner, and other cat owners started tweeting about their stories of their own little furry hooligans. And though, as cat owners, we definitely sympathize with the struggle, it's also... extremely funny to read about other cat owners having to go through it. 

If you ever needed proof that black cats are not bad luck, that they are some of the most awesome and adorable void fluffballs in the world, look no further. Because BangersandMashthekittens on imgurhas come to provide. 

They have captures pictures of their two black cats being the most adorable hooligans, and we have fallen in love. Somehow, every little thing that they do - from yawning with their itty bitty tongues bleping outto crawling under the couch to do some mischief - these black kitties are too cute. Thank you for sharing these pawfect kitty cats with the world, and we hope that you continue sharing more and more of them as they continue to grow. 

It is a known fact to every single cat owner that having a cat means having a cat everywhere. No place is safe - you cats will always sit where they shouldn't. 

From sitting on your fresh laundry right when it comes out of the washer to stealing your dog's bed right under its nose and sitting its fluffy bootie right there, you cat will make its way to every nook and cranny in the house. Of course, cats being hooligans and jerks is forever funny - it's one of the reasons we love them as much as we do. Shenanigans are part of the package. Be honest, if cats weren't little delinquents like that, having them in the house so much more boring lol.

All cats have their little quirks and issues, but one thing that they all have in common is that they looove being hooligans. They love sitting where they shouldn't, knocking things off shelves, and chewing cords. It's true, not every cat does it, and some cats grow out of eating your cables, but some don't, and our ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared some of these hilarious stories with us. 

All jokes aside, remember though, if your cat is one of them delinquents who chew on cords, do your best to hide these cords rather than leave them dangling. We wouldn't want out little babies to be hurt during their playtime. And now, onto the laughs!

Outsmarting a cat is an achievement like no other. They are little hooligans, and they think that they are so dang smart. Even when they get ridiculously stuck in our curtain and scream until we get them out, they are still doing it on purpose obviously, they are still the smartest creature in the room. But sometimes, just sometimes, we can properly outsmart them. 

These weirdly informative yet hilarious tumblr posts tell the story of such cases. I mean, you have to get your silly cat to drink sOmeHOw, and if it means having to convince your cat that it's really just being sneaky and clever and drinking from your cup, well, that's just par for the course. 

So, you know how your cat drives you crazy sometimes? Zooming in the middle of the night, waking you up every morning for food, stepping all over your body to find a comfy position even though they're a huge chonk and you can't breathe? Yeah, well, this kitty is one that doesn't just do that part of the time. CelesteAdventures's cat is a true delinquent, and we're kind of in love. 

Endless mischief, screaming at its humans, hiding under carpets, the shenanigans never end. And although we can imagine the sighs of resignation from its owner when this happens one too many times a day, for us, as the viewers, it's endless awwdorable cat-tertainment. 

Get ready for incoming war flashbacks, all you cat owners in the crowd, because we have all had that moment of suddenly realizing that we haven't seen our cat in a while, going to look for it, then not finding it and losing our heckin' minds. 

Then, it's one of two things: either the cat has been sleeping in the closet this whole time and is perfectly innocent, or - the more likely option - that hooligan has been hiding in his new hiding spot for the past half and hour, absolutely enjoying my stress while I'm shaking his bag of treats, looking for him.

Cats are jerks. That's a known face. We still love them though. 

If you ever get a cat, be prepared for some shenanigans. You must be fully aware, before you make the decision to get one, that all of your precious items will be at risk and will have to be moved to secure locations, and that if your cat ever sits on your eggs, it's totally normal behavior. 

Thank you, @cats_places, for providing all the picture proof we'll ever need of such perfectly normal behavior, warning all future cat owners of potential disasters and making cat owners laugh with fondness at their silly little furballs sitting exactly where they shouldn't. We love our little hooligans no matter how many things will break, and if you do ever get a cat, you will too.

Remember, no matter what they broke this time- you still love them. Even if it was your window, you still love them. Even if they're the world's biggest delinquents, you still love them. No matter how bad the cat-astrophe... you know you will give them snuggles and kisses later. 

Because it doesn't matter how many things your little delinquent destroys, they're still your little delinquent. And yes, you may cry a bit about that vase that cost you too much money and that you'll never get back, but... at least looking at other people's pets destroying their things is funny. So, laugh at the pain of others in these pictures that purrfectly encompass the true struggle of pet ownership.

Cats - otherwise known as little fluffballs of mischief. They can be the most affectionate, cuddly, wholesome little beings right up until something very valuable is standing on the edge of your shelf, then... really, it's your fault for leaving it there. That vase was totally fair game for the cat. 

No cat embodies this spirit of mischief better than tumblr user's, sandersstudies, cat. This awwwwdorable little furball just keeps causing problems. From incriminating sandersstudies's husband to not letting them sleep at night, the shenanigans never end. Of course, the cat also knows she can get away with anything if she just makes that face at them. 

We're weak for cats, what can you do? It's a universal cat lovers problem.

Welcome to Christmas - the holiday that every cat loves the most. The house is covered in shiny things, there's a tree inside of the house, so. much. excitement. is happening. But, while we're thinking about ways to fortify our trees against our cats, our cats are choosing their own favorite Christmas decorations, namely, themselves. 

Because we know that the best Christmas ornament in our house is inevitably going to be our cat. And we also know that we can't really be mad at them for it. We'll be taking pictures first and removing our cat ornaments second - prioritizing correctly. 

A lot of us are still working and studying from, and we have a feeling that though our cats may have gotten used to us being home so often, they have developed true resentment toward these strange light squares that we keep staring into all day long. 

I mean, it's true, cats' strange obsession with laptops goes back eons, but now, they have a real reason to hate them and a more obvious explanation for their obsession to us. These warm laptops have been taking up all of our time, and we haven't paying nearly enough attention to our cats. And we believe they have all collectively come to a decision that, you know what? They'll be taking our online classes with us. Right on top of our laptops.

Train them as we might, our pets are animals, and animals will do whatever the heck they wanna do. They can't help it. The curiosity is overwhelming. Our cats simply must find out if our favorite plant makes a good chair for them, and our dogs have to - they have to - find out if our couch is delicious. Answer: it is, that's why they keep eating it. 

And yes, we still love them, of course we do, and at the end of the day, we know that we prefer them untamed and being total weirdos. Because even though they're the most kind and loving little beings, on top of almost everything else, they are entertaining to a painful degree, and that just makes us love them even more.
