Despite being an internet-mainstay for really as long as we have been online, the truth is that one can never have enough pictures of cats. Since our feline friends tend to live in our homes, it’s no surprise that they sometimes end up getting into our stuff.
We’ve gathered hilarious pics of cats that might look a little bit “religious,” We also got in touch with feline behaviorist Lucy Hoile to learn more about why our furry friends act the way they do. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Bored Panda got in touch with feline behaviorist Lucy Hoile to learn more about cat behavior and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Firstly, we wanted to hear what are some surefire signs your cat actually likes being around you.
“They will approach you with their tail held high with a curved tip like a question mark. They may also mark you by rubbing their face, head and body on your hand, legs or if they really like you, on your face. You may also notice them purring too,” she shared.

We also wanted to know what causes some cats to go “nuts” at night. “Cats are naturally active at dusk and dawn as this is when their prey is more active. The house is usually calm and quiet during the night and cats are often kept inside overnight too. There isn’t much opportunity for them to use up this natural energy, so cue a nightly freakout or zoomies!”

We also wanted to hear an expert's opinion on the idea of “training” cats to do tricks, as one might with a dog. “Absolutely you can. And we do this without even noticing, when they come running when they hear you open that specific cupboard where you keep the cat treats. You can easily train a high five, but be ready for them to start pawing you whenever they want something. Training them to walk into their cat carrier is the most useful behavior you can teach,” she shared. If you want to see more of Lucy’s work, you can visit her website.
