It seems that no matter how many times our precious pets misbehave or destroy something, it's hard to stay mad at them. They can really put a bite on your mood when you're trying just get some peace and quiet in return for all of those wonderful moments they bring into your lives!
Cats of Yore is a Twitter account that documents the adventures and mischievous nature cats have always had. One such instance was when this woman's cat ruined her furniture, vases, etc., but it turned out to be hilarious because she found these pictures from 1868 showing how kittens can't help themselves sometimes!
If you're a cat lover, you're going to love this blog post. If you're not a cat lover, prepare to be converted! Because cats are just the best and they make everything better – even history.
