Cats are moody and that’s no secret. They don’t even try to hide that fact. Some of them proudly show how mean they can get.
Despite that, cats are still lovable creatures. It’s one of the reasons why their humans can’t stop showering them with gifts. Even if they don’t show any gratitude or appreciation, they still get treats and special treatments.
As proof, here are 40 cats showing how much they don’t like their humans’ gifts.
Look at that wonderful, warm, cozy, new cat bed. It’s been roundly rejected in favor of a dustpan…a literal pan for holding dirt.
This photo is a great summary of what it’s like to own a cat. They refuse your presents and then laugh at you for even trying. So rude.
This cat got a nice new toy that should provide hours of fun…in theory, at least. But he’s decided it’s for sitting in, not for playing on.
Isn’t this just like a cat? She has a comfortable, clean bed where she can enjoy a warm, private nap. Instead, she chooses to sleep a foot away on the hard floor.
5. The cat condo seems to be a hit
Like we said…anything that comes in a box will be a good present. Every cat loves a good box. Will they even notice the real gift? It’s doubtful.
If you get your cat anything that comes in a box, be prepared for them to pay more attention to the box than the present. More than likely, they won’t even notice the present.
7. Just do whatever you want
If my cats did this, I’d just be happy they were using the beds. They’re using them wrong, but at least they’re using them.
You’d think a cat wouldn’t need to be told twice about a window perch. But I guess it hasn’t quite clicked. Or maybe it has and he just doesn’t care.
Are you looking for a way to keep your kitty from drinking out of the faucet? How about a new water dish with its own faucet? Nah, just kidding. It won’t work.
10. Jungle cat’s watching you from the tree
That’s a comfortable cat teepee. What feline wouldn’t enjoy climbing in there for a snooze? Well, it looks like this one prefers things from a more elevated position.
11. Don’t waste your money
No matter how much you spend on what looks like an amazing bed, your cat will find somewhere else to sleep. It’s usually in a box. Or a bag. Or on the floor.
12. “It’s just what I wanted”
Doesn’t every cat want a personal plastic bag to lay in? If it comes with a cat gym, that’s just a detail. We’re mostly focused on the bag.
You buy your cat all kinds of toys that you think they’ll love. Then they destroy paper towels because it’s way more fun. Also, because they’re jerks.
Is there anything ruder than taking a nap on the floor…three inches away from the cat bed? The sheer audacity of cats is unbelievable.
15. Don’t tell me what to do
Give a cat a rule and you can expect them to break it or find a way around it. He doesn’t care the inside of this bed is cozy and warm. He only cares about doing things his way.
Sure, that cat tower was bought especially for him and it has everything he needs. But this box is HIS and no one can take it away.
One cat owner stumbled across an ingenious solution. The best way to get the kitty to use the cat bed…put a box inside it. Works every time.
18. I hate your bed and I hate you
What an adorable little shark bed, this cat owner thought. The cat will love it. As it turns out, the cat hates the bed and doesn’t care how cute it is.
19. He’ll use it how he wants to use it
Cats need to sharpen their claws, and ideally, they should use scratching posts rather than furniture or curtains. But this cat doesn’t care about your rules.
20. He prefers the homemade version
This cat had a homemade bed carved out of a box. It was only supposed to be a placeholder until his real bed came. But he’d already fallen in love.
21. Have a comfy bed but prefer toilet paper
If you supply your cats with everything they need, they won’t make a mess, right? Wrong. They prefer to make a nest of toilet paper instead of using their bed.
22. Who needs cat toys when you can have kid toys?
It didn’t matter how many toys his owners bought him. He preferred to steal the kids’ toys and fight for his right to keep them.
23. Doesn’t want toys, has his own
This cat had plenty of lovely toys, but he didn’t care about them. Instead, he stole more than 100 of his owner’s hair ties and stashed them under the couch.
24. They don’t care about their climbing tower
You spend time and money picking out a climbing tower for your cats, and how do they repay you? By scratching your screen door to shreds.
Cats are very particular about their litter box, and this owner has thoughtfully supplied two clean ones. That didn’t stop the cat from being a total jerk.
26. I’ll sleep in this garbage, thanks
This is why you should never buy your cat a bed: it’ll sleep anywhere but there. Yes, that includes crawling inside an envelope to make a sleeping bag.
27. Has a bed, prefers the pizza
This might just be the rudest animal in the entire world. You know he has a nice bed somewhere in the house, but where does he sit? On the pizza.
28. As long as you’re comfortable
This cat doesn’t need a soft, comfy bed — though he almost certainly has one. He prefers to destroy a roll of paper towels and get fur everywhere because, well, he can.
29. They found the best seat in the house
These cute little kittens have plenty of places to sit or snooze, but they’ve found a better one. That laptop is warm, which is ideal for small kitty butts.
30. Doesn’t want toys, just underpants
This local pervert had plenty of toys but preferred to steal underwear from unsuspecting neighbors. Not only is he ungrateful, but he’s also a thief.
31. Thanks for the new bed.
Try as you might, you’ll never convince the cat this bed isn’t for him. And don’t try getting one for himself. He won’t use it.
32. Just nap on the toilet paper
Forget sleeping in a comfortable bed your owner bought just for you. This adorable kitten prefers to make a mess of toilet paper and then sleep in the destruction.
33. Two water bowls? No thanks
This cat has two full water bowls that are just for him, but he doesn’t care. He prefers to steal water from the flowers regardless of what you think.
Buy him a cat bed? But he already has a cat bed. It’s called a planter, where he can burrow in the dirt and kill all your succulents.
Why shouldn’t you buy your cat a bed? Because they prefer to sit in a box and chew the corners off. Isn’t that more fun?
His human took off his shorts before giving him a bath to make sure they don’t end up soaking. Unfortunately, the cat had other plans about the shorts. Instead of going straight to his litter box, he chose to pee on his human’s precious shorts.
Most cats like to go to their beds or jump to a higher place whenever they feel threatened. Well, this cat’s a bit different. Whenever he’s terrified of the vacuum cleaner, he gets inside this bin to watch his “enemy” move around the house.
This cat loves his cat door so much that he always uses it. As you can see in the photo, he’s quite obsessed with it.
He’s quite selfish, right? He’s clearly not into sharing things with the other cats at home.
Well, it’s not clear if this cat’s showing gratitude or she’s just showing his human the kind of gifts he likes to receive.
