Oh, cats are sneakiest little monsters ever!

On those silent paws, they quite enjoy a good sneak attack on their humans, finding glee in making us jump. Kitties also find fun in the sly destruction of paper goods. Or even sliding a coffee cup off the counter, only to look innocent when the crash is heard.

But there’s one thing that brings out a cat’s craftiness above all else. The devilish ways of felines know no bounds when it comes to snacks left for the thieving.

Check out these hungry cat burglars caught in action!
