Cats are our family โ and while they definitely have a different way of showing their love than dogs do, theyโre just as loveable.
And like our other pets, cats donโt always act the way we expect โ loveable and logical are two very different things.
These 45 cats took strange behavior to the next level, leaving their owners wondering what on earth they were thinking.
Can you figure out what was going through their heads when you see these photos?
1. Catfight
This lucky person deals with some boundary issues. But instead of one kitty, heโs joined in the bathroom by two. And theyโre fighting โ in his underwear. Awkward.

2. What are you looking at?
This is Jeffrey. This is Jeffrey sitting in a tree. This is Jeffrey being super weird. According to his owner, this is his favorite spot to relax.

3. Mmmโฆtoast
The only thing this woman wanted was to eat her pizza in peace. The cat, she preferred to do a reenactment of the movie Jaws. โGive me that, itโs mineโฆall mine.โ

4. A little skeptical
A womanโs aunt made her cat a kitty-sized couch. But by the look on his face, heโs feeling skeptical. For one thing, howโs he supposed to stretch out on that, and for another, itโs not a box.

5. Such a sweet gift
Cats are known for bringing their humans gifts as a way of showing their love and respectโฆyou know, things like dead mice, lizards, and even birds. Thatโs what this kitty did but without realizing the bird is a plastic decoration. Nice try, though.

6. Sitting pretty
Sheโs so elegant and statuesque. But hereโs whatโs really going on. This cat likely sees a bird or squirrel outside that sheโd love to sink her teeth into.

7. Much better
How in the heck was this cat going to nap in the cabinet with all that stuff inside? No worries. He took care of the problem.

8. Youโve got to get it juuuuust right
Weโre truly mesmerized by this video and the catโs commitment to being the biggest jerk possible.
9. You are salad now
When you have two cats, life becomes just a little weirder. One day, an individual couldnโt find one of their kitties. Sorry buddy, but thatโs a clear box so, youโre busted.

10. You broke it
Why do some cats find positions like the comfortable? Then again, by the way our back feels in the morning, we probably sleep like that too.

11. Itโs just not fair
If a cat gains too much weight, its owner has to put it on a diet. After all, itโs for their own good. But this chubby kitty doesnโt agree.

12. Wouldnโt it just be easier toโฆoh, nevermind
Well, someoneโs not getting their security deposit back. We just feel like it would have been easier to sneak up under the blinds instead of going all Kool-Aid Man on them.
13. Thatโs a first
Most cats hate water. Theyโll do anything possible to avoid it. Well, except this fellowโฆhe wonโt stay out of the shower.

14. Caught the culprit red-handedโฆ
โฆor more like red-pawed. A homeowner couldnโt figure out why her clay planters were getting broken. Then she caught the criminal in action. I guess she just thinks it looks better broken.

15. Snacks over safety
Hey, there are times when weโd do anything for a snack too. We feel ya, kitty. You just better watch that paw.
16. No privacy
Before you get a cat, thereโs something you need to know. Youโll never have privacy again. That includes when youโre in the bathroom taking care of personal business.

17. Peek-a-boo
Itโs more like peek-a-boo times two. For whatever reason, these kitties thought it was a good idea to sit behind the microwave. To be fair, weโd never find them if they didnโt have their heads sticking out. Who looks there?!

18. Stellar hiding spot
Well, weโd definitely spend a lot of time looking around before we thought to look for our cat here. We just hope no one decides to sit down and take a rest in the middle of their search.
19. I drink from the cup, just like you
Why use the fancy cat fountain if you can inconvenience your humans by making them put a glass of water next to it? After all, why shouldnโt you drink out of glassware even if you donโt have hands?!

20. What a day
We feel your pain, kitty. Everyone is ready for the week to be over. This is how we look during our last hour (or day) of work every week.

21. Not today
Not only is this foster cat weird but he has an attitude problem. Eager to share a photo of him online, his foster mom pulled out her cell phone. At that exact moment, he slapped it.

22. Cutest ornament on the tree
As you know, cats love to sleep inside boxes. But they also love to hide in Christmas trees. This one is an adorable ornament.

23. Dinner time
This cat is pretty smart. She sits in front of her automatic feeder waiting for the magic moment when food pours into her bowl. The only problemโฆitโs 4:00 p.m. and the feeder doesnโt activate until 6:00 p.m.

24. Loves to quiltโฆ
โฆthe catโs owner, that is. After spending hours putting quilting pieces together on the floor, she left the room for five minutes. When she returned, her kitties had rearranged them.

25. Yepโฆthat looks about right
Itโs hard to tell which animal is the weirdest. There are a lot of photos like this on the internet. Why does this happen? We have no clue.

26. Getting taller
This is the funniest thing ever. That tiny head on that big bodyโฆpriceless. According to the owner, her cat thinks heโs a bowling pin.

27. New rules
Cats are pretty good at rewriting the rules of life. This one decided that in order to win the game his family was playing, you had to cover the most amount of the board possible with your body.
28. Iโm the missing piece
Sometimes when we get a pet, we realize that they complete us. Puzzles, on the other hand, will never be complete again.
29. Nailed it
A woman makes pillows of peopleโs cats. This is one she created for a customer. After receiving it, the customerโs cat decided it was his twin. What a hoot.

30. Itโs art!
Although the owner saw nothing but destruction, this kitty viewed things a little differently. To him, he created a masterpiece. He canโt figure out why his humanโs voice just rose 10 octaves and became super loud.

31. Two-part story
Part one โ this catโs owner found him with his head inside of a Cheetoโs bag. Part two โ the kitty quickly ran off while growling with a single Cheetoโs in his mouth. The logic here is probably the same as ours when we get caught with our head in the Cheetos.

32. The possessed kitty
This is enough to give you nightmares. Should the owners rush her to the vet or call an exorcist? What would you do?

33. All the gift you need
Thatโs right, cats always have to be in the middle of everything. That includes gift-wrapping. If heโs not careful, he might end up under the Christmas tree.

34. Lazy predator
Once a cat claims it, it belongs to a cat. And thatโs true whether youโre a bird or a human, apparently.
35. Listen, punk
You donโt have to worry about anything, theyโre just playing. But that kitten needs to understand that someday the puppy is going to be a lot bigger than him. Beware of revenge.

36. This must be mine
Finding everything on the shelf knocked over on the floor and the first thing youโd probably think is โthe cat did it.โ And youโd be right since cats seem to think the harder something is to get to the more it deserves to be on the ground.

Reddit - Mmmurl
37. Love at first sight
Youโd expect a cat to fall in love with another cat or even a dog for that matter. But a snake? Yepโฆthese two instantly bonded.

38. Youโre not getting it
Thatโs whatโs going on in this adorable kittenโs mind. So, whatโs so important that heโs willing to dangle in the air to prevent his owner from taking it away? A loaf of bread.

39. She canโt be comfortable
At least thatโs what it looks like. But then again, cats sleep in the weirdest positions. Itโs as though every bone in their body turns to butter.

40. The look of innocence
Just look at that precious face. Thereโs no way this kitty did anything bad, right? Well, except that white paw is a dead giveaway.

41. I see you, Santa
Weโd be worried if we were Santa sneaking into the room to deliver presents. Letโs just hope the jolly old man carries cat treats.

42. Thanks a lot
Hey, cat! There are times when toilet paper is as good as gold! Be careful how you treat that stuff.

43. Boop
Cats and kids are a lot alike. Theyโre both sweet, funny, and ornery. The owner of this gorgeous kitty pointed her finger and the temptation to boop it was just too great.

44. But Iโm comfortable
This is hysterical. Yes, sheโs got the whole sitting like a human thing down pat. But sheโs not very ladylike. Then again, sheโs not a lady.

44. Iโm stuck
Hearing the cat frantically calling out, his owner ran to see what the problem was. This is what she saw. So, what was wrong? Claws, thatโs what.

45. Perfectly clean
One of the great things about cats is they like to be clean. They also like clean litter boxes and beds. And it seems their obsession with cleanliness includes reading glasses.
