\"9<\/a><\/p>\n

Domesticated cats have been around for a long time, some 4,000 years as a matter of fact. Back when ancient Egyptians worshipped the cat goddess, these felines have been revered and pampered animals. They were adorned with gold and had the best in everything. Archeological digs have even unearthed mummified felines along with their human companions! Death can\u2019t separate a man and his cat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, cats are very common house pets along with dogs, of course. In fact, many would argue that you\u2019re either a cat person or a dog person these days. While ancient Egyptians revere cats, there are also people who think cats are jerks. Can you blame them? Here are nine photos showing why cats can often be labeled as being jerks.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Stolen Dog Beds<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"stolen<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cats sleep for most of the day, around 16 hours of snooze time! But like a thief in the night, Tigger has invaded Buddy\u2019s bed, and all of its prime sleeping space. Meanwhile the dog has a small cat bed to rest its head to sleep. Try to evict the cat from its new spacious sleeping quarters and you will have to contend with the bared fangs and claws.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Displaced Humans<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0\"displaced<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What happens to dogs, happens to humans too! It was a really stressful day at the office with your product presentation during the quarterly board meeting. You got home late, had a quick dinner, and just couldn’t wait to hit the sack and make up for those sleepless nights working on your slides. And then you find this\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Workaholic Feline<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0\"workaholic<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You took a short trip to the fridge for a good gulp of orange juice and when you came back to your work station, somebody\u2019s already there using the computer. Cats find just about any spot perfect for snoozing and your keyboard is as good as any, if not better since you\u2019ll be paying some close attention and perhaps giving some belly rubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Toilet Paper Invasion<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"toilet<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You walk into the bathroom and find your feline pets in the middle of a great mess. They look up and seem to say, \u201cIt was a toilet paper invasion! We did what we had to do!\u201d and simply saunter out in that slinky walk they do when guilty but couldn\u2019t care less.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Loving A Window Seat<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"loving<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a window seat? But nobody loves looking at the window more than cats. If something is in the way, it will find itself lying on the floor in no time. Make sure you have a good window seat ready especially when you\u2019re out all day or you\u2019d be cleaning mess after mess after mess.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The Sleep Master<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"the<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fact. Cats love to sleep. Unfortunately, they also love sleeping in your laundry, your warm and clean clothes. So warm and clean you haven\u2019t even had the chance to get them out of the dryer! What a way to get started in the day!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Christmas Tree Fun<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"christmas<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From hauling those old decorations from the basement, assembling the Christmas tree to decorating it, it took you a full weekend to finally get some Christmas spirit in the house. After setting it nicely in the living room, you took a couple steps back to admire your handiwork and then out of nowhere, Jack flew out and knocked it out. Somebody\u2019s got a different idea of Christmas fun, it seems!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Cat Bath<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"cat<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cats are not avid fans of the water. Unless you\u2019ve trained them to tolerate bath time, you\u2019re in for some serious trouble and scratches to show for it! Lucky for you if you managed to get through the ordeal without the splashing and trashing but one thing is certain, your feline friend won\u2019t be happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

9. The Meow, Purr and Hiss\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"the<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Cats are very vocal animals. They have different ways to let you know what they need. A purr means a contented cat, a meow can mean a lot of different things, and hiss comes from a very angry cat. Unfortunately for the cat lover, felines can change the frequency of these vocalizations so they can make you do what they want. Think of a baby crying, the cat meows to let you know she needs food, a snuggle, or a good rub \u2013 and fast!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
