Rascal Cats Getting Themselves Into Unexpected Situations

By: Lisa Lee | Published: Nov 15, 2022

People are often praising cats for their dexterity and cunning nature. This being the case, it’s easy to forget that cats, just like us, are capable of occasionally behaving in a knuckle-headed manner. When they do embarrass themselves, their theatrical reactions always contribute to the humor.

The cats you are about to meet have all forgotten how to cat, at least for the time being. These images were captured when the cats were far from the swift, graceful predators they typically present themselves as being. But don’t worry – all of these cats are alright, with only a bruised ego to show for it. Laugh along as you enjoy your daily dose of silly cat photos.

I Can’t See Anything

Curiosity can get you into trouble. The contents of the tissue box have piqued the cat’s interest. As a result, this curious little cat poked her head into the box. What happens next will give you something to laugh about all day.

It’s hilarious how the cat fit her head into the tissue box only to find later that she couldn’t get out without help. The cat is well aware that she has made a major error. It’s no longer the cone of shame but the tissue box of humiliation.

An Unforeseen Cat-astrophe

Please bear with us if we sometimes leave our pants on the floor after a long and exhausting day at work. Having a pet cat might be calming, but it can also be aggravating when he decides to hide in your work pants and becomes trapped there.

This cat has taken up residence in the trousers. When he got to the waistband opening, he saw it was a pair of skinny jeans with a hem that he couldn’t fit into. It must have appeared like a fun spot in which to snuggle up and play.

I Can See You Fishy Fishy!

The cat in this photo is one of a kind. This cat isn’t very good at telling the real meals from the fake ones. He eagerly awaited the proper moment to tackle the fish, only to discover that it was just a painting.

Because the fish isn’t moving, you’d think he’d lose interest after a while. One thing is certain: the cat knows exactly what he wants, and it’s a fishy snack. His owner has done an excellent job of deceiving his cat.

Slippery When Wet

Have you ever seen a cat so strange that he ate while lying flat on the floor? This cat, for whatever reason, believes that this is the ideal method to consume his food. Have you ever had a lazy day? Maybe this is what’s going on in the picture –  a lazy feline day.

This photograph demonstrates that, even in the face of adversity, hunger trumps all other considerations. Even so, this unfortunate cat managed to eat his food. Perhaps the floor is slick and this is the only way to eat comfortably.

Poor Jug-Head

The owner of this cat awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of his cat howling in the kitchen, only to discover this. The cat was rummaging in the pantry to obtain some food when he got his head caught in a jar. Now, he needs assistance to free himself. Look at that adorably sad face!

Cats are well-known for getting their heads caught in jars and other items. Pet owners should be fully aware of this in order to be prepared in the event that something similar occurs in their home. Be careful about the decor you choose, as your cat may end up wearing it!

Hang In There, Joe!

It’s funny how cats do things on their own without considering the consequences. This cat was allowed to dangle from the shower curtain rod. We have absolutely no notion what he’s up to up there. When its owner stepped into the restroom, the cat stared as if to say, “You must be wondering how I ended up here.”

fastandfurry

He may prefer to be left alone. He was either hanging out to dry himself or auditioning for Purr du Soleil when things went wrong and he became stuck.

Egyptian Roots

When you look closely, this cat looks to be dressed in Egyptian-inspired jewelry, which is quite charming. If you really want to know the truth, you should know that this is not a gorgeous necklace designed for cats. In reality, there is a vase that has been damaged by this cat. She managed to get her head stuck in a vase, causing it to crack and break.

Hardin314

Petco should develop a cat collar line that is inspired by ancient Egyptian jewelry since this particular collar is just stunning. This beautiful kitty’s mistake may end up being a brilliant business idea!

Finish Your Food

As many pet owners will tell you, cat food is bought out of love, so don’t mess with it. Most cats get the message and eat like there’s no tomorrow. This tiny kitty took the idea a little too far. When her owner handed her food, she ate it all up!

wolfshrew

The cat appears to have been so hungry that she licked her bowl clean and didn’t leave a trace of food in it. This cat was following instructions so carefully, but she got her face trapped in the dish.

Mission Im-paws-ible

One of this cat’s dreams is to work on a Mission Impossible film with Tom Cruise. The cat hasn’t decided whether he wants to be Tom’s sidekick or a stuntman yet. Because he lacked sufficient skill, this cat became accidentally trapped while doing his tricks.

The_Dirty_Sanchez_

As a cat, you can’t go online and purchase spy gear, so you have to make do with what’s in the house already. In this case, the cat used the curtain pulley to recreate his favorite Mission Impossible scene. Or maybe he’s practicing for his air yoga session?

A Comfy Bed Is All I Need

This cat likes to sleep in whatever position permits her to fit comfortably in her little bed, which is any position at all. It makes no difference to her where she sleeps, as long as she is comfortable.

scarlettparade

This kitty looks to be on the edge, close to slipping off the sofa, which won’t be a particularly nice experience. Despite the unusualness of the circumstance, she appeared to be sleeping well in this strange posture. What an adorable little cat!

Hang In There

This cat lover came home to discover her room in disarray. What on earth could have happened? Before she had a chance to worry about thieves breaking into her room, she heard a forlorn little “mew” coming from her closet. When she opened it, this is what she saw. 

taringa.net

We can all learn a lesson from this. Keep your cupboards and closets closed if you have cats in the house! This is an important preventative measure to keep them from trying to get into your clothes and causing you the worst nightmare possible.

If I Fits, I Sits

Despite the fact that it is very unpleasant, he is determined to test how far he can push the “if I fits, I sits” challenge before abandoning it for good. We think this cat might even set the world record for this task.

Aaragon

The poor creature will very definitely require outside support in order to be able to recover from its current state of affairs. We can only hope he took on this challenge while his owner was around, so he didn’t have to wait too long to receive assistance.

Tastes Like Bird

This is another hysterical cat that made us laugh out loud. He preferred not to sip water from the cat’s bowl because he wanted to try something else. Perhaps he has become bored with his ordinary drinking water and has chosen to sample a variety of exotic beverages.

k1llallh1pp1es

On this particular day, he set his sights on a birdbath. The cat intended to collect water from the birdbath, believing that it would have a much richer flavor than the usual water. From the look on his face, it seems he was horribly disappointed.

Wake Up Buddy!

This cat was so desperate to see her owner that, after hours of waiting outside, she decided to peep in through the bedroom window to see whether he was still asleep. However, the unfortunate cat became stranded outside a second-story window.

tstew9

Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing your cat in this state. You’re not sure whether to be appreciative of its attempt to reach you or horrified by the poor creature’s predicament. Anyone would have nightmares for days if they saw something like that.

What Is This Jumbo Alien Thing?

This is the first time this cat has ever seen a watermelon, and he seems a little taken aback by the weird fruit that has appeared in front of him out of nowhere. What would be the most effective manner for him to sample this fruit? It is protected by a thick cover.

CamelMilk

He now appears to be utilizing his ninja abilities to consume this fruit. Or perhaps its kung-fu kitty skills he’s applying. Either way, it looks like the cat may need to do some training with fruit ninja in order to break open this tasty watermelon.

Torn Between Two Beds

This cat’s owner purchased two beds to ensure that his beloved pet could get a nice night’s sleep. Cats being cats, things didn’t turn out as planned. Now that the kitty has two beds, picking which one to use has become a challenge.

joshanders84

Choice is not always a good thing. This poor kitty’s decision was too difficult, so she chose to sit in the middle of the two beds. She sits on a hard surface, between two perfectly good (and costly) beds, rather than choosing between them. Sometimes, we just can’t win with our cats.

I Just Want A New Hat Mum

She was experimenting with a charming roll of tape, attempting to determine whether or not it would be a good fit for her as a new hat. When the roll of tape slid from her head, the situation became even worse. She sprinted to catch the tape and ultimately fell in, face-first. What happened after that is hysterically amusing.

marcianos.com

This cat ended up with a whole roll of tape attached to her face. Quite literally, this cat has found herself in a sticky situation. Someone needs to rescue the poor thing! She looks very confused.

To Be Stuck Or Not To Be Stuck?

This cat is reconsidering every decision she has ever made in her life that has brought her to this point. She should decide if she prefers the easy or tough path. Is it better for her to be stranded there or not? Life is a series of decisions, and this cat’s life is evidence of what the wrong decision can do to you.

Sometimes, pets perform amusing and bizarre tricks in order to get the attention of their family. If this is the case here, the cat may have truly hit the nail on the head!

Is This A Drinking Fountain?

The only thing this unhappy little cat wanted was to take a sip of water from the tap in his master’s bathroom, and that was all. The problem is that he just does not comprehend how to operate this gadget effectively. Another possibility is that he is on the wrong side of the sink, which is feasible.

KingkongRS7

The cat intended to get a drink of water, but he ended up having a shower. Some people find it really difficult to figure out how to drink when they first start out, so we won’t hold it against the poor cat!

Entrance This Way

Even after all this time, we’re still baffled as to why this cat is determined to take such a difficult route while the entrance is wide open. After seeing something like this, you have to question what it is that makes people assume cats are intelligent creatures in the first place.

imgur.com

Why would you avoid walking through a door that is wide open when the cat door offers a much more precarious path? This cat likes adventure, and it’s possible that she’s simply honing her talents.

Curiosity Is A Great Cure For Boredom

This small kitten was curious about what her owner was doing in the bathtub. She is not a fan of having a bath, which is understandable as cats dislike water. So, she jumped to the shower knobs to take a closer look, just for the sake of curiosity. Unfortunately, she found herself in a difficult circumstance.

imgur.com

Before she knew it, she was bathing alongside her owner, which she did not find particularly amusing at the time. She most certainly learned her lesson the hard way in this case!

Giving Your Pet A Reward

This cat’s owners decided to get him a special treat for being such a good kitty. They had a new hanging bed delivered. The owners were delighted and eager to set it up. The cat, on the other hand, has no idea what such objects are for. 

thefoxsay

The lesson learned: Never purchase anything for your cat to sit or sleep in since they will end up sitting next to or beneath it instead of using it. The fact that it is intended for sitting on rather than under does not register with this cat.

Taking A Nap

When this cat decided to climb the ladder, it was a bright and beautiful day in the city. Because he was so exhausted, he came up with the idea of taking a nap at the precise spot where he felt most comfortable.

alby44

If the cat’s owner happens to notice him, he may conclude that the poor cat has become entangled in something. But that is surely not the case – he was simply taking a break after a particularly exhausting day of climbing.

Let Me In

This cat is one of the most depressed cats on the internet right now. He was completely certain that his master did not want him to enter the home. He stood at the front entrance, patiently waiting for someone to let him into the building. Unfortunately, this cat is simply too oblivious to notice that the door is indeed open.

leighaeroe

Rather than walking away, he stood there waiting for the door to unlock, despite the fact that it was already open. All cats can’t be the sharpest tools in the shed, can they?

My Food, My Rules

This is most likely what occurs when an owner wants to give his pet the latest and greatest gadget but is completely baffled by how to use it. It appears that this cat has not yet worked out how to eat from this unusual bowl. He managed to squeeze himself in and consume his food as if nothing was wrong.

catpuccinoz

No matter what, you can always rely on a cat to find the strangest way of doing the simplest tasks. They have a knack for doing things in a unique way, and that’s part of their charm.

How Come I Don’t Fit?

Here is what we imagine is going through this cat’s head. “Yes, I’m a thief. Was the owner of the house aware that I was coming to grab something? Why can’t I fit through the pet door any longer?” This cat attempted to take something but got thwarted by the nefarious cat door. It’s a set-up, to be sure.

FlyLikeAMouse

The cat isn’t nearly as smart as Tom from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. No, in this case, the cat door caught another cat burglar. The door receives ten points, but the cat receives zero.

A Head Turner – Literally

This cat has learned how to drink from the faucet because she isn’t interested in drinking from the water bowl that has been provided by her owner. This is an adorable picture, but it looks like an unnecessarily complex way to get a drink.

imgur.com

Obtaining water from the faucet is a hassle. This cat is one of the most bizarre critters that has ever walked the planet. Does she do a handstand when she eats her meals? We don’t want to know what she does when it’s time to use the litter box.

Is This A Cat Trap?

This caged kitty must have been so preoccupied with food-hunting activities that he neglected to notice the trap until it was too late to avoid being caught. Cats have a history of putting themselves into hilarious situations, but this cat takes the cake. He was imprisoned in a cage that was supposed to be a opossum trap.

reddit.com

This cat couldn’t resist whatever bait had been put in the cage to catch the opossum. So, in the morning, the humans awoke to find that their cat had been imprisoned in the cage instead of the opossum that was wreaking havoc in their garden.

Do Not Leave Your Pets Unattended

This kitten’s mother gave him a stern look for being such a spoiled cat. It had only been a few minutes since he had been left alone when this occurred. The cat got trapped between the couch and somehow turned himself upside down. The mother cat is clearly dissatisfied with the situation.

RespectMyAuthoriteh

“Mom, the sofa is consuming me,” says the child. Are there any chances that he’ll be able to get out of this predicament on his own? Will mom be able to assist the unfortunate cat in getting back on his feet? We hope so!

Here Is My Present

Cats are well-known for spending the majority of their time rummaging through the rubbish in search of food. Many cats are known for delivering mice or birds to their owners, but this cat is quite unique.

MyCatIsFamous

He brought something from the garbage can. As a gift to his owner, the cat presented a freshly-caught tea bag. Perhaps it was meant as a little thank-you or as a peace offering. Or perhaps he’s attempting to get them to begin composting in order to live a more environmentally friendly life.

Help Me!

Was this cat purposefully placed in a CVS grocery bag? Surely CVS isn’t branching out into selling cats! No, the truth is that this kitty got herself trapped in a plastic bag for the second time while searching for food. Cats are skilled at putting themselves in situations that they struggle getting out of.

betasynn

Of course, there’s always the possibility that you might go to the grocery store for milk and return home with a pet cat as a reward for your work! What good fortune that would be.

Why Ham?

Many questions are raised by this photograph. First and foremost, how did the cat get into this space in the first place? The people who were taking this photograph were given a stern look by the cat. Should they be afraid, or should the cat be afraid?

reddit.com

How did that slice of ham end up on top of the cat? Did someone throw it down there? Perhaps the cat stole the slice of ham and was looking for a quiet place to eat it. We’ll never know for sure!

Professor McGonagall After An All-Night Party

During a bar crawl with other witches and wizards, Professor McGonagall was unable to keep her drinking under control. If this unlikely scenario ever happened, we imagine the below picture may be the result. It looks like she drunkenly transmogrified into a cat and got herself stuck in a fence!

manimalmaniac

We wonder what the real story behind this picture is. No one will ever know because no one was around to see the cat get into this predicament. We like the McGonagall story, though, so we’ll stick with that one!

Reaching For Things Is Not My Thing

Cats find endless ways to make their lives ridiculous and amusing. If you’re talking about cats, there’s no such thing as normal. Consider the situation below. The cat is having difficulty reaching his water bowl since his reach is restricted by his current location.

DaBumbas

He could have gotten out of the cabinet and sat down to drink his water without being restricted by his stealthy hiding place. It is still a mystery as to why he is hiding behind the cabinet.

Trying Out New Moves

When this cat was attempting to be the best version of himself, it should have been his moment of triumph, but sadly, something else came out instead. This cat was in the midst of attempting a new exercise or parkour routine. 

mrstoness

He was too preoccupied to see that he was on the verge of becoming entangled in the branch. This unfortunate hunk was only attempting to get his physique in shape for the summer months ahead. However, things didn’t turn out as expected in this situation.

Wealthy Foster Parents

This is more than certainly one of the most cranky cats you’ve ever seen. It may be the case that this was originally a stray cat who was subsequently adopted by a rich owner. The new owner clearly went above and beyond to provide his pet with anything its little heart desired. 

koha.net

This cat believes his door is simply a window, and he enjoys peering through it at his owners until they open the main door so he can enter the house. The food that has been left on the floor will not even entice him to cross the threshold.

Am I In The Neighbor's House?

This is one of the more oblivious animals you’ll ever meet. When it comes to knowing where the door is, he’s absolutely at a loss for words. The moment he laid eyes on the screen, he stood there expectantly, waiting for it to begin to load. He even had the distinct sensation that he had returned to a different area than before.

pi3monkeytaco

His lord has imprisoned him, and he is presently awaiting the date on which he will be released from jail. Perhaps he should wait for someone to bail him out of prison.

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway!

This clingy cat clung to its owner, despite the fact that it was quite chilly out. If taking a bath in the middle of winter is a mistake, then venturing outside unprepared on a frosty day is an even bigger failure of judgment.

twitter.com

His look indicates that he has come to terms with what he has done wrong. His facial expression looks to be asking whoever is inside to please open the door for him as a result of his acute coldness. Let this unfortunate cat into the house, please.

Peter Pan Syndrome

This cat is a big admirer of practical jokes. For some strange reason, he believes that he is still a kitten. He sat down with the feline babies and decided to feed among the other kittens for a while. Let’s see whether the mommy cat takes notice of him this time.

iredditwhilstwiling

If he maintains his composure, she will not notice any difference. All he has to do is follow the example set by the kittens, and he will avoid being discovered by the nursing mother. This is a perfect demonstration of how a cat can truly brighten our day.

Someone Will Be Grounded

These cats were responsible for a major disaster. They were able to bust through one of the Japanese-style screen doors in the house. If their owner finds out what his cats have been up to in his home, he will undoubtedly be horrified.

twitter.com

Despite the fact that it was a quick makeover, the cat owner is not going to be pleased with the results. Both of these animals will be demoted from their positions as all-time favorite pets. Hopefully, this isn’t too difficult (or expensive) to fix.
