In case you missed the last 20 years, the internet was made for cats. We have so many beloved cat icons…from Grumpy Cat to Nyan Cat. But we even love to share pictures of our cats. Just take a look at subreddits like r/cats, which are completely dedicated to people sharing pictures and stories about their beloved pets.
Yes, suffice it to say, we love our cats. Why wouldn’t we? Even though they have the reputation of being snobby and aloof, they do care deeply about their owners. They just don’t show it in the same way that dogs do.
Cats are known for being intelligent and graceful, and in general, they are. But they can also get into some interesting scrapes. Anyone who’s ever owned a cat has watched it fall off of furniture and get stuck inside of various objects. And they do it so adorably we can’t help but laugh.
Part of what makes cats so funny is that even in their dumbest moments, they still try to act dignified. All you can do is scratch their ears and lovingly tell them they’re a moron. Here are 75 hilariously dumb cats.
1. A PSA in taking small bites
This mother cat was trying to take a slice of sausage to her litter of kittens. Unfortunately, she tried to take an enormous bite and got it wedged in her jaws. The look of panic on her face is nothing short of hilarious.

2. Foiled again
Sometimes, pets develop an odd fixation on random household objects. This cat’s one desire is to steal the feather duster. But it doesn’t fit through his kitty door.

3. “KILL IT”
This cat’s first encounter with watermelon was captured on camera. It was pretty aggressive for some reason. Always treat strange objects as threats until you know they’re safe.

4. How long was he there?
When his owner left a suit on the floor before bed, this cat saw an opportunity. The owner woke up to find him like this. The question is, how long did he wait to be rescued?

5. Thank you, Oliver
Oliver isn’t like other cats. Most felines like to bring dead birds and mice to their owners. Not Oliver…he prefers wet tea bags. We just have to wonder where he gets them.

6. He’s in trouble
Usually, cats have no problem climbing up and down trees. But this guy just happened to find an angle that prevented him from moving. Thankfully, his rescue wasn’t far off.

Reddit/mrstoness
7. Yup, he’s stuck
What’s a cat to do if she gets her head stuck in a small fish tank? Obviously, just spin the tank round and round until the owners aren’t sure whether it’s a problem or a game.

8. How?
Since cats can’t talk, they can’t explain their logic for doing certain things. For example, taking a nap in this weird — and precarious — position. That can’t be comfortable.

9. When you hang your cat up to dry
When one owner walked into the bathroom, they were shocked to see their cat hanging from the shower curtain rod like this. Or maybe they’d heard that cats are air-dry only.

Reddit/fastyandfurry
10. I want to know these answers
The owner of this cat was perplexed to find him wedged in a tiny space between two walls. But they also had no idea why there was a piece of ham on his back. To this day, it remains a mystery.

Reddit/NSFW_PORN_ONLY
11. I think the cat’s broken
This cat is so flexible. At first glance, you might wonder if something’s seriously wrong with him. Nothing like trying to figure out how your cat managed to break all four legs while eating dinner.

Reddit/lilred181
12. They’ll never let him forget it
We love our pets and spend a lot of money on them, but these owners might take the prize. For them, 10 cents turned into a bill costing them thousands of dollars all because of one stupid kitty.
Source:
Reddit/kCrankasaurusRexx
13. Aww. So dumb
This sweet but dumb cat thinks he’s locked out of the house. So, his solution is to sit and wait for his owner to let him in — even though he could take a couple of steps to one side and get in by himself.
Source:
Reddit/leighaeroe
14. How very Egyptian of him
No, that’s not a classy Egyptian collar. It’s the neck of a vase this cat got its head stuck in. In a panic, it thrashed around and broke the vase portion, leaving the decorative wiring at the top intact.

Reddit/Hardin314
15. “I’ve made a bad decision”
There’s a reason for the saying “Curiosity killed the cat” — and if you’ve ever owned this type of pet, you’ve witnessed it for yourself. This one decided to see how far it could fit its head into a tissue box.
Source:
Reddit/something_something1
16. He’s the perfect size
To be fair to this little guy, if I was this small, I’d also try to fit into tiny spaces. The question is whether he can get out by himself or if he needs some human assistance.
Source:
Reddit/RespectMyAuthoriteh
17. He does this every day
Cats that haven’t ever seen their reflection in a mirror often get spooked. They think another cat’s invading their territory. But most of them eventually get used to it. Not this cat that does this as part of his daily routine.
Source:
Reddit/gilroymertens
18. Someone didn’t read the instructions
Just look at this adorable idiot. She doesn’t even know how to use a food bowl. Or perhaps she just wanted to use it like this. You don’t know her life.

Reddit/catpuccinoz
19. “Let me out”
When his owners were installing new screen doors, this cat had a confusing day. In his mind, the door had just moved…and the outdoor view looked just a wee bit different.
Source:
Reddit/pi3monkeytaco
20. That was this cat’s last present
This cat was given a lovely window hammock but refuses to use it. The next time you feel the urge to buy your cat a gift, spend the money on yourself and give it the box.

Reddit/thefoxsay
21. He hasn’t gotten the hang of drinking
This little dork thinks this is the right way to drink from the faucet. He’s completely wrong, but he’s so cute doing it his way that we can’t be angry.

Reddit/KingkongRS7
22. Free milk is free milk
When this freeloading adult male heard that Mama Cat was going to nurse her kittens, he jumped at the opportunity. Or rather, he wriggled in at the opportunity.

23. DIY cat hammock
This cat didn’t mean to end up like this…she’s definitely stuck. But in hearing her purr, she must’ve decided to make the best of the situation.

Reddit/betasynn
24. Why do we buy cat beds?
As cat owners, let’s all raise our hands and pledge to never buy our cats real beds again. Oh, they can have boxes, bags, and dustpans, as the case may be. But they’ll never sleep in those expensive cat beds.
Source:
Reddit/ausfez
25. It’s kind of cinematic
This falling cat has a Gandalf vibe — as though he’s saying, “Fly, you fools.” But in reality, I think he started sinking and just decided to take a nap.
Source:
Reddit/UncleDuckjob
26. I think he has a drinking problem
This dumb cat has a full bowl of water, but he doesn’t want to drink the traditional way. He prefers to lay under the cabinet, dip his paw into the dish, and then lap it off.
Source:
Reddit/DaBumbas
27. ISO a safe environment
This poor cat might’ve died if he hadn’t found a safe environment. Thankfully, he came across some people who were invested in his welfare. Otherwise, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t have made it. Poor dumb kitty.

Reddit/kaituhlin
28. Disaster in 3…2…1…
I don’t know which is about to have the worse experience, the cat or the human. All I know is they might need to find some antibacterial ointment somewhere in that bathroom.
Source:
Reddit/dittidot
29. This cat is a real Goldilocks
This cat doesn’t have one, but two beds for its use. But it seems they’re either too soft or too hard. Awe… that cabinet is “just right.”

30. Regretting that decision
When his owner went outside in below-freezing temperatures, the kitty wanted to follow along. But as they say: be careful what you wish for because it might come true.
Source:
Reddit/soupy_scoopy
31. He’s waiting for it to move
When his owner hung a new photo, this goofy cat was mesmerized. The poor guy watched it for hours waiting for the fish to move. He must have a very easy life.

32. No caption needed
I don’t think any explanation is needed for the pickle this cat got herself into. I also don’t think I need to explain why her owner took a picture before helping her.

Reddit/Standard_Candle
33. Just embrace the nap
What’s a cat to do when she gets stuck in the tiny, tight crevice of the couch cushions? The only thing to do is wait for help. And while you wait, you might as well take a nap.

34. Someone got a little overexcited about dinner
Cats are notoriously greedy about food — like most other animals. But they’re not usually so excited that they get their face stuck inside the bowl. That must be some amazing Fancy Feast.

35. “OPEN THE BLINDS, HELEN”
This cat’s owner bought him an expensive window hammock so he could enjoy the outside view. But he’s oblivious to it and prefers to stare at the closed blinds. Idiot.

Reddit/ArchipelagoMind
36. In need of a Good Samaritan
This stray cat got himself so wildly twisted in a fence that he had to wait for a compassionate stranger to pass by. Thankfully, he found someone willing to help…after taking a picture, of course.

37. “I call this ‘downward cat’”
Lots of cats enjoy drinking out of the sink or tub faucet, but most of them are smart enough to skip the extreme poses. Whatever — as long as she’s having a good time, right?

Reddit/Serfty
38. Foiled by his excitement
When this kitty realized his owner had come back home, he got so excited that…well, this happened. We’ll leave all the details up to your imagination. Frankly, we have no idea.

Reddit/The_Dirty_Sanchez_
39. “I’ve made a horrible mistake”
When indoor cats escape outside, they’re often unprepared for the experience. This kitty made a run for freedom, only to show up the next day frantically meowing for someone to let her back in.

40. Are you okay in there?
When this kitty’s owner walked in to get something, she was greeted by this sight. It makes you wonder what those idiots are up to when we’re not around.

41. Hide and seek level: fail
Most cats hate having their nails trimmed and this guy’s no exception. Unfortunately, he failed to take his extreme fluffiness into account when choosing his hiding place.
Source:
Reddit/whistlewink
42. “Stop taking pictures and help me, you idiot”
We’ll leave it up to you to imagine how the cat managed to get into this position, because honestly? We have no idea. Hopefully, his owner didn’t leave him there too long.

43. What a weirdo
Some cats have such bizarre personalities, one expressive picture is all it takes to sum them up. Dear internet, meet Paul…he does stuff like this. What else do we need to say?

44. When the stupid hurts
Have you ever heard the expression “Cat got your tongue?” It usually means being momentarily unable to speak. In this case, it’s a much more literal interpretation.
Source:
Reddit/RDHertsUni
45. Stupid or just rude?
Sometimes, you have to ask yourself: is my cat really this dumb? Or is he just the rudest animal that’s ever lived? Honestly, it might be a bit of both.
Source:
Reddit/Youheartbeth
46. Is that comfortable?
Did this kitten fall asleep and then start to slide or slide and then go to sleep? The level of napping cats can achieve in any position keeps getting higher.

Reddit/scarlettparade
47. I bet he has a cat bed
Chai the cat enjoys climbing this ladder every night, then crying for help because he can’t get down. If this picture is any indication, he also enjoys napping on it.

Reddit/alby44
48. So, who’s the dumb one?
As this cat owner said, they have two cats, one of which is serious and haughty, the other, well, an idiot. I think that’s all he needs to say for us to get the picture.

49. The outside water tastes better
This cat has a full bowl of water inside his house. It’s fresh, clean, and put there just for him. But the outside water bowl tastes like birds.

50. It looks like a block of ice
If you did a double-take when first looking at this photo, you’re not the only one. No, the cat wasn’t frozen inside a block of ice. He got his head stuck in a plastic container.

51. “I hate this…and you”
When this ultra-fluffy kitty got his paw stuck in some drywall, he wasn’t shy about voicing his displeasure. The look of sheer fury on his face is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious.

52. No, kitty, that’s wrong
It’s impossible to get into this cat’s mind. How on earth did he think this was easier than just…you know…eating out of the bowl?

53. We can see you
Meet Jim the cat. He thinks he’s invisible when hiding like this. No one should tell Jim we can see his entire butt. We wouldn’t want to embarrass him.

Tumblr/swarm-of-angry-bees
54. Yum, tasty
This is Lorbus. It seems as though he enjoys eating metal chairs. I don’t know what the name Lorbus translates to, but I’m guessing it means “The cat that eats things he shouldn’t because he’s dumb.”

55. When you get stuck, go to sleep
Cats have two modes when they get stuck somewhere: yowl at the top of their lungs or go to sleep. When this kitty got her claws stuck, she chose Option #2.
Source:
Reddit/Renegadeboy
56. Hello up there
When an individual spotted their cat from outside, they had to wonder if he was okay. What on earth could make him stare straight into the window blinds? Perhaps it’s his sheer dumbness.
Source:
Reddit/BlaydBlyss
57. Oh no
Cats are extremely flexible, graceful, and agile, but that doesn’t mean they always choose their footing well. Sometimes, they get just a little too confident and end up like this kitty.

Reddit/MissNicolicious
58. Is this what they call “catacorner?”
When you walk in on a scene like this, you have to wonder if your cat’s okay. Maybe she’s having an existential crisis. Or perhaps she’s just a moron that likes to stare at the wall.

Reddit/Mjeck
59. GET IT OFF
The strangest things can send cats into a tailspin, pun intended. In this case, it was a tiny Styrofoam ball that got stuck to the kitty’s nose. What a sweet, dumb boy.

60. When you don’t have a window, make one
Shoji doors, which are made of paper, are a part of traditional Japanese architecture. They’re extremely beautiful, but not cat-friendly. They’re not cat-friendly at all.

Reddit/Enter_Text_Here
61. She’s as beautiful as she is dumb
There’s no doubt about it: this cat is gorgeous. But she also likes to climb on top of the door and then meow until she’s rescued. Pretty and dumb exists all over the animal kingdom.

62. “I’m stuck again”
Does this photo need any explanation? This dopey cat isn’t just stuck in a coat hanger, but he’s also chewing on it. Is he stuck or having fun?

Reddit
63. NO, KITTY, NO
The worst part of having a dumb animal is when they get into things that could hurt them. And if you have a cat that likes to eat cacti, you might not want to keep any houseplants.

64. How did you get down there?
When her owners were having their floors redone, this cat managed to get herself stuck under the floorboards. They never figured out how she got herself down there in the first place.

65. Oh come on, Larry

66. So close, yet so far
This cat’s trying desperately to reach her toy on the other side of the door. She seems completely unaware of the fact the door is already open. Someone, please help the poor thing.

67. You’ve got something there
Casper the cat loves to play with hair ties, but he’s not always good at remembering where they end up. Now, who’s going to volunteer to help this pathetic kitty?

What do you get when you combine a dumb cat and a slinky? The answer: a masterpiece like this. Just make sure to capture them on film — opportunities like this are rare.

69. Is this a cat or a raccoon?
When this cat’s owner came home, they were surprised to hear feline cries for help coming from the bathroom. It turned out this raccoon-like cat had no idea how to navigate getting back down the shower wall.

70. Is the door or the cat broken?
This guy’s cat door broke, which means there’s no way for him to get out. No, he can’t go through the larger door. You just don’t understand.

Either this cat’s stuck between the window and the shed or he’s just mad about being caught in his hidey-hole. Either way, he’s supremely dumb.

73. Curiosity and cats, as they say
This little guy got his claws stuck in the wooden door while exploring around the room. Naturally, he was too proud to ask his humans for help. They got him down but only after taking a few photos.

74. “Call the police, Sharon”
I don’t know what’s funniest about this picture: the fact the cat’s wedged behind a chest of drawers or the look of utter resignation on his face. He knows he might die right there. Way to waste one of your nine lives.

75. Time to panic
Unlike the cat in the last slide that was strangely at peace with his fate, this cat’s in a fit of panic. The cause of the emergency? A small leaf that’s RIGHT ON HER FACE.
