Cats are suspicious little creatures. One minute they're peacefully loafing on the couch, and the next they're having a secret meeting behind the curtains with their sibling. What are they discussing? We have no idea, but judging by those faces, it probably isn't anything good.
Sometimes you can practically see the gears turning. They'll stare at the treat cabinet, look at you, glance back at the treats, and quietly start working out their next move. Maybe they're calculating whether they can make the jump. Maybe they're waiting for you to leave the room. Either way, that kitty brain is busy plotting.
Things get even more suspicious when multiple cats are involved. Two felines sitting side by side and staring at their hooman is never just a coincidence. They've discussed something. Plans have been made. You simply weren't invited to the meeting.
Then everything gets quiet.
Every cat pawrent knows silence is rarely a good sign. If you haven't seen your kitty in a while and the house suddenly feels a little too peaceful, you should probably start investigating. There's a decent chance they're somewhere they shouldn't be, doing something they definitely know they shouldn't be doing.
Of course, cats are smart enough to maintain plausible deniability. Catch them in the act and suddenly they have no idea what you're talking about. That shredded toilet paper? Never seen it before. Missing chicken from your plate? Sounds like a hooman problem.
We may never know exactly what goes on inside those furry little heads, but these suspicious cats certainly look like they're up to something.
Keep one eye on the cat and the other on the treat cabinet.
