A cute nose, fluffy paws, and beady eyes — everyone knows that our 4-legged purring friends are the most charming creatures. But their characters and habits are not always as soft and fluffy as our pets are.

Today, Bright Side editors have collected firsthand stories for you from experienced cat owners, so that you can smile at the tricks pulled by our whiskered friends once again.

I poured cat food for the cats. One of them ran out from the litterbox to celebrate this fact, doing her dirty business right on the go.

I met a neighbor after work at the entrance lobby. She began asking me about my children and expressed a desire to get to know my little ones as soon as possible. She said that I sing lullabies to them before they go to bed very beautifully. Of course, I thanked her but cleverly avoided the necessity to answer. I do sing songs, but not for children. I do it for my cat, who won’t lie down with me without a special invitation. © Palata № 6 / Vkontakte

My brother had a cat. He was white, fluffy, and just handsome. But he was also sneaky, nasty, and cunning. I must say that he was terrified of my brother. Once, we saw my brother on the street and went to his apartment to have some coffee. We entered the apartment, opened the door to the kitchen, and saw this — the cat was eating his owners’ food products while sitting on the table. When he saw us, and he had no choice but to act like he’d passed out.© Palata № 6 / Vkontakte

One day, my cat was stretching and I started to pour cat food for him. He ran to the bowl, but at the same time, he continued to stretch his rear legs. I haven’t seen any movement that was funnier than that. © juliavishnevsky / Twitter

Our cat, no matter how hungry he is, will never wake us up in the middle of the night. He’ll just sit next to the bed and wait. And he will be looking at you. In the night. © selfcritical_me / Twitter

My cat is very funny. I am afraid to meet eyes with her because when I do, at that same second, she starts to run toward me from the other side of the apartment while purring loudly. She also begs for food in a funny way, while looking into my mouth, and touching it with her paws … At 4 a.m. © _UNESCO_K / Twitter

Owners of pedigree cats: “We got our cat from the cattery, she has more certificates than you, and her pedigree is better. We needed a spotted tabby color, and because of this, we had to go get our cat across the country.” Us: “We first saw our cat when it fell on us from the top of the garage behind the dump.” © Dr_Alice_Woods / Twitter

My cat doesn’t walk up to the bowl, but moves the bowl toward himself, because there is no need to humiliate yourself in front of some bowl. © who_is_anko / Twitter

Those who use the phrase “feline grace” haven’t seen my cat falling off the couch while he’s asleep. Every time. © SappyMrs / Twitter
