Some vets believe that cats treat their owners like parents and behave like kittens. But the owners of the cats we want to show you don’t agree with that: in most cases, the animals dominate humans and try to subdue them. And most actually succeed.

“Caught these boys in the kitchen last night looking for a snack.”
“My sister’s cat ruined an iPad. Look at her face.”
