My cat can be so sweet and cuddly that my heart (and Instagram feed) overflows with all the snuggly love. But then a few moments later, without warning, I’m sporting a new scratch on my hands from petting him just one second too long. Sometimes it looks more like I live with Edward Scissorhands rather than a small, domesticated pet.

The fickle nature of felines is part of their charm, of course. This artist captures all the hilarious and conflicting ways our cute yet flawed buddies wriggle their way through our world.

Not so sweet dreams.
