Cats can be so cute, we might even forget they’re deadly predators while petting them. Of course, make one wrong move (like touching their belly) and they will instantly remind you of it with bites and scratches.

But don’t just take my word for it. Check out the subreddit Murder Mittens, an awesome online community we’ve already covered once.

Even though it’s fairly young (the sub was created in 2018), it already has 168,000 members, posting pictures of adorably fearsome cats who love to show off their claws and remind everyone who’s boss! Here are some of them.
