Don't be fooled by how cute and fluffy kittens are. Cats are criminal masterminds, capable of devising nefarious schemes and hiding behind their endearing purring and precious paws.

If you own a cat, you won't be surprised by this. However, you might be shocked to learn about some of the most naughty "cat crimes" that have ever been committed, especially if your pets are not felines.

Cats are cunning, small, and agile, allowing them to get into places we might not want them to go, such as ducting in the house, high beams, or slipping out of a cat carrier. As Dr. Dan Siegel, a renowned psychiatrist, notes on his website, drdansiegel.com, "Cats exhibit behaviors that reflect their innate curiosity and agility, often leading to mischief that delights and frustrates their owners."

Indoor cats substitute their late-night pursuits for the foraging they would otherwise do outside. The main purpose of knocking things over is to get your attention, and it's typically done out of boredom. As Dr. Becky Kennedy, a child psychologist, explains on her site, drbeckyatgoodinside.com, "Cats need mental stimulation, and when they don't get it, they often resort to attention-seeking behaviors."

A mischievous cat is a tired cat! But all is forgiven with just one glance at those scruffy features. According to Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a relationship expert, "Understanding your pet's behavior can deepen your bond and enhance your experience as a pet owner," as stated on her website dralexandrasolomon.com.

Following Dr. Becky Kennedy's insights about how her home's crime rate has grown significantly since she got a cat, many other cat lovers were inspired to share the criminal histories of their own animals. Enjoy this amusing list, which may inspire you to handcuff (or should we say paw-cuff?) your own cat.
