20 Cats Who Accidentally Broke Their “Default” Settings

Although cats, like humans, have different personalities, they have a lot in common when it comes to their behavior. A love for boxes and rustling packages, nightly races around the house, and attempts to assassinate houseplants — most cat-lovers know all about these things firsthand. But sometimes, these animals have truly inexplicable habits and traits that make their owners wonder if their pets are from another planet.
