All cat owners know that their pets can get up to the strangest things – but being able to snap a photo at just the right time isn’t always that easy.

Thanks to everyone who posted brilliant photos of their cute cats and kittens.

But we also found a great selection of pictures showing mischievous moggies in all sorts of strange poses. Here are some that are sure to bring a smile to your face.
