It is no real secret that cats (virtually all cats at that) love to get up to as much mischief as is humanly possible—well cat-possible, anyway. despite their small frames, tiny little paws, and adorable whiskers, cats managed to get into a lot of trouble--the chaos just simply calls to them.

One thing that cats like to do in particular is that they like to climb and hide. Some cats go outside to do most of their adventuring, and climb trees, whereas other cats have taken up the challenge to explore every nook and cranny of their house: it is a decision we have no choice but to respect.

Of course, not all cats are this adventurous, and are certainly happy to spend their days sleeping in regular places, such as in their baskets or more likely on their human beds. Some cats take this to a whole new level, literally.

Yes, some cats have chosen that the place that they would best like to explore is the ceiling. Not just climbing up on too high objects such as cupboards or bookshelves to get a look at the ceiling: no some cats like to climb inside the ceiling and stare down menacingly on their unsuspecting owners!

If you weren't of the opinion that cats were absolutely crazy before looking at all these pictures I bet that you are now. truly we have no choice but to respect cats for their complete disregard of social norms and desire to cause as much trouble as possible.

Have you ever been minding your own business only to look up and see your cat staring at you from a hole in the ceiling? it's never happened to me, but I imagine that it would shoot my blood pressure right up.
