This new video compilation may prove that your cat doesn’t even like you that much — and not in that [adorably cute Grumpy Cat](http://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/) sort of way. This supercut of super evil cats, posted by YouTube user [Ignoramusky](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkIAPBRr82MUFDiHHjw8JpQ), shows that cats are an international threat to ankles, toes and anything else they can sink their little claws into. The video is filled with kittens of every make and model going into attack mode and assaulting everything from their devoted owners to innocent puppies to brooms and, naturally, video cameras. ### 26 of LIFE’s Best Animal Covers  February 8, 1937 LIFE Magazine cover (photo by Charles J.
