26 Times Hysterical Cats Proved Cats Only Get Naughtier The More Of Them You Have
Few things make a home feel more alive than a cat, or three, or four, all deciding they own every inch of it. In this roundup, the chaos only gets bigger as the cat count rises, and so does the evidence that mischief is basically part of the package.
From shredded decor to suspicious stares and full-on household sabotage, these photos capture the everyday nonsense multi-cat owners know all too well. The love is real, but so is the destruction.
And somehow, the more cats there are, the harder it is to stay mad.
1. “They had food in their dish; they just wanted to destroy this.”

2. “Three cats plus thirty-three roses for our anniversary requires a giant glass box to protect them all.”

3. “Like they don’t have anything else to scratch.”

4. He bit.

5. Totally frame-worthy, honestly.

It's easy to assume that our cats' behavior is malicious or intentional because humans have a tendency to view other animals' behavior through a human perspective. However it may seem, our cats are not "assholes" on purpose.
That said, the timing is still suspicious.
6. When Mom is away, the kittens shall play.

7. Puzzles and cats don't go together well at all.

8. "Waiting for the human heating pad to lie down."

9. “My two recently adopted cats judging me relentlessly while I try on new clothes.”

10. “My cats destroyed the spice rack while I was at work. Then they played with the debris. I have spices and shards everywhere in the apartment. Now they want to be fed. Like, NOW.”

When you care for more than one cat, you might notice a lot of interesting things about their social behavior beyond the combined mischief and chaos they wreak upon your household. Socializing cats can be complex.
The most consistent advice is to introduce cats gradually.
11. “My cats were kind enough to let me put some of my stuff in their new cat home.”

12. If you can't take two voids with you when you're on the go, are you even living life to the fullest?

13. “Got two kittens because we heard they were less destructive when they have a friend. My poor succulent now knows otherwise…”

14. C O M P R E S S

15. "Cat owners understand."

If you're on the fence about going from a one-cat home to a multi-cat home, don't let the chaos that can occur totally deter you. Having more than one cat may come with extra eye-rolls and exacerbated sighs of frustration, but it also comes with an infinite increase in love.
Additionally, pet homelessness is a significant issue. 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. shelters every year, with millions more living on the streets.
There are clearly compelling arguments to work through potential behavioral concerns anyone might have regarding a multi-cat home if they're capable of providing for and loving more than one cat... even if that means a whole lot of naughty will go on.
And just wait until you see how “three cats plus thirty-three roses” energy scales up in 50 photos of cats looking even more stunning in groups.
16. Mischief is not limited to cats you personally own; foster cats can cause chaos, too!

17. “No chance of eating a pear in peace in this house.”

18. It's nothing; just prepping for a high-five, obviously.

19. The classic BAP A TAP BAP.

20. “My cats both staring at a totally blank ceiling for the last five minutes got me believing in ghosts.”

21. To heck with your shoes.

22. "No food for you."

23. “They really like this foam thing that came as protective packaging in a box.”

24. “One of them just peed on the carpet by the door. I have visitors tomorrow, so I am scrubbing it. They came to watch me work.”

25. “Cute when he was little. Not so funny now…”

26. The Belly and the Shrimp
