Cats don’t always make sense. At least, not to us. Perhaps they have purrfectly logical explanations for their exploits, but what those are, we may never know.

Until we solve the enigma that is the cat’s mind, our role is just to enjoy their feline antics as we serve their every whim.

Plus, the photographic evidence of cat weirdness is too funny not to share. So, when viewing this gallery of broken cats, know you aren’t alone if you’re cat behaves in unexplainable ways.

Henrick’s pawrent explains, “Henrik chomped my cactus the other day. I was taking a picture with him and the puncture marks he left when he went in for a second chomp. He’s a very special boy.” Silly tabby!

Instead of claws and swats, this kitty is “trying to pass out in anger.” Weird, but “SO adorable!”
