As much as we like to think that our pets are well-behaved when we're out of the house, these insightful photos prove that just isn't the case.

From eating our cake to stealing our newspapers and slurping on our drinks, these cats, pictured on Bored Panda, don't seem to mind being caught red-pawed.

Some of the cats look shocked to have been photographed mid-mischief but others appear to be so arrogant that they dare to carry on what they're doing.

One thing is for sure though: these mischievous pets have been caught - and their 'it wasn't me' expressions are futile.
