OK, so you take out your favorite puzzle to pass the time during the coronavirus-induced quarantine. You put it on your favorite coffee table, and immediately after connecting the first pieces, feel relaxed. In fact, you’re having so much fun, you even forget to feed your cat. It’s now been 3 seconds past its lunchtime, and it’s absolutely starving. So your kitty comes over and does the only thing it can to grab your attention: destroys all of your hard work. You should’ve known better.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of pictures that show cats interfering with their owners’ puzzles, and it’s clear they won’t stop easily. From knocking the pieces to the ground to downright confiscating them, believe me, felines have their methods to get their point across — the darn thing has to be ditched.
