They steal the food right off your plate and pretend nothing happened a second later. They shamelessly occupy your elderly dog’s bed, ruin your houseplants, and throw the puzzle you’ve been working on all day off the table. Yes, we’re talking about our beloved cats. If you’re a proud cat owner, you’ve likely witnessed your furry friend doing all these things and more.
