Cats are known for their quirky and sometimes bizarre behavior, and there are no shortage of crazy cat stories out there. Here are six tales of feline mischief and mayhem:

  1. The cat who stole a police car: In 2018, a cat in Massachusetts made headlines when it jumped into a police cruiser and started honking the horn. The officers who responded to the scene found the cat happily sitting in the driver’s seat and apparently enjoying the ride.
  2. The cat who took a trip to the grocery store: In 2013, a cat in Canada named Rusty hitched a ride on a delivery truck and ended up traveling over 100 miles to a grocery store. When the truck arrived at the store, Rusty was found curled up in a crate of apples, apparently none the worse for wear.
  3. The cat who loved to steal post-it notes: In 2020, a cat named Marmalade became an internet sensation when her owner posted a video of her stealing and playing with post-it notes. Marmalade’s post-it note obsession quickly went viral, and she even gained her own social media following.
  4. The cat who made a grand entrance at a wedding: In 2018, a cat named Luna made a surprise appearance at a wedding in Canada when she jumped out of a wedding cake. Luna’s unexpected entrance caused quite a stir, but she ended up becoming a beloved member of the wedding party and even posed for photos with the happy couple.
  5. The cat who survived a 200-mile journey: In 2019, a cat in England named Chloe made headlines when she was found wandering the streets of London, over 200 miles from her home.

  6. The cat who liked to play with toilet paper: In 2017, a cat named Muffin became an internet sensation when a video of her playing with toilet paper went viral. Muffin’s love of toilet paper became a running joke among her owners, and she even inspired a line of toilet paper-themed merchandise.

  8. The cat who became a social media influencer: In 2020, a cat named Luna Rose gained a huge following on Instagram after her owner started posting photos of her wearing colorful headbands.
