Just like humans, we all know that animals can be jerks at times too. In fact, even your beloved pets are no exception either. But we could all probably agree that no other house pet can do it better (or worse) than cats. It’s no secret that felines are infamous for being indifferent, feisty and sly. Best of all? Mischievous cats are downright unapologetic for their bad behavior.
Even so, these negative attitudes are definitely not an excuse to love them any less. But apparently, some owners seemed to have finally grown tired of their pets’ antics. So, they’ve come up with a variety of hilarious signs to expose their sassy pets’ cunning ways.
“My Girlfriend’s Cat wasn’t too happy with the new sign I put up.”
“The neighbors needed to be warned.”
“This cat is not stuck”
“This cat was on a fruit market today (the sign says, ‘Don’t disturb the kitten, she’s not here to amuse the customers, she’s the boss’)”
“I was surprised to see a cat at the doctor’s waiting room. Then I noticed the sign.”
Cat owners have come up with hilarious signs to warn strangers about their deceptive and mischievous cats
From pretending to be poorly-fed to snag some extra treats to dramatically screaming to avoid trips to the vet, these felines certainly know how to tug at people’s heartstrings. But as adorable and pitiful as these kittens may seem, their hoomans sternly warn the public to not fall for their tricks. Keep scrolling down to learn more about these sly felines’ traps!
“Don’t let her fool you”
“Witnessed an extremely powerful creature today”
“My mother asked me to run her country garage sale for a while. A sign became necessary due to his misleadingly cuddly appearance.”
“I forgot the best bit of my walk today: this cat whose owners are fed up”
“Cats are so shady”
Felines are essentially curious creatures. And the fact that they’re predatory in nature contributes to their desire to constantly go outdoors. Of course, it’s generally safer to keep them indoors. However, there’s also no problem in allowing them outdoor access, as long as it’s supervised.

“The animal shelter sign wasn’t lying…”

“Beware of cat”
According to certified cat behavior consultant Ingrid Johnson, it’s actually possible to train them to use a leash or harness. You may also simply use a stroller to take your furry friend for a walk. Johnson also suggests “catifying” your home to meet the needs of your pet. For instance, you can install a screen on your porch or even build a catio. “Bringing the outdoors in” is another tip that the expert recommends.
“Grow cat grass, bring in dried leaves, snow, branches, pinecones, allow them to experience the seasons and the sights and scents of the outdoors in a positive way.”
