Once, a famous American writer questioned, “Are cats strange animals or do they so resemble us that we find them curious as we do monkeys?” This really got me thinking that felines are actually super similar to the funniest and sassiest humans that we can ever find, right?
One thing’s for sure when you have a cat around: sometimes, its theatrics can make you laugh till there are tears in your eyes. Since we wanted to bring a smile to your face, we compiled some of the most hilarious “cryptid” feline pics for you. Just scroll down to enjoy them!

Today, we see a lot of cat parents talking proudly about their tiny furballs, but did you know this bond between felines and humans goes way back in history? Research shows that about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, people started storing grain, which attracted lots of mice. Those mice then drew in wildcats, who figured hanging around humans was a pretty good deal.
The felines that were chill with people stuck around, and that’s how the whole taming and domestication thing got started. By about 3,700 years ago, they were commonly living near humans, and in ancient Egypt, they became a big deal. Around 2,900 years ago, they were even worshipped as the goddess Bastet.
Egyptians bred cats near temples, sacrificed and mummified them, and buried them with people so they could hang out together in the afterlife. Well, there’s a bond that truly transcends everything!

Studies show that when Egypt became part of the Roman Empire (around 31 BC), cats joined Roman life and eventually spread all over Europe by about the 4th century. They also hopped on ships that sailed to the Americas, supposedly with folks like Christopher Columbus, Jamestown settlers, and passengers on the Mayflower.
In fact, cats stayed useful as rodent hunters through the ages, even working with the U.S. Postal Service in the late 1800s and early 1900s. At that time, people weren’t just using them for pest control; they were keeping them as beloved companions. The first cat show happened at Madison Square Garden in 1895, and by the end of World War I, they were everyday pets in lots of American homes.

Despite so many cats living with their hoomans, sometimes it’s really questionable whether they can truly be domesticated. They weren’t domesticated like dogs were; rather, they kind of did things their own way. Real, full-on domestication mostly applies to pedigree cats, which actually make up only a tiny slice of their total population.
That said, lots of felines live totally indoors now thanks to things like kitty litter, commercial cat food, and spaying and neutering. Even though their place in our homes has changed a lot, they themselves haven’t. Biologically, they’re basically the same little creatures they were thousands of years ago.
Even though they get labeled as distant or grumpy, they can actually be total lovebugs with their humans, and science backs them up! Studies show that having a cat can help lower stress and anxiety, and it can even help bring your blood pressure down. Not bad for a little fluffball, right?

When they pull off some crazy things, as you see in these pictures, it might be confusing at times. However, experts claim that cats are naturally curious little explorers, so they love using their paws to poke, bat, and shove things around. When something moves or rolls away, they think “it’s prey,” and the chase is on. It’s all part of their built-in hunting instincts and helps keep their minds and bodies busy.
Those sudden bursts of wild running, or the famous “zoomies,” are totally normal and just your cat burning off extra energy. To help keep things calm and your stuff intact, try regular playtime with toys that act like prey, such as feather wands or laser pointers. A good play session means a happy, tired cat and fewer surprise sprints around the house.
