With Cats Murdering Toddlers, Reddit has created the perfect schadenfreude, with a little something for everyone. For the dog-lovers/cat-haters, there’s proof that cats are terrible.

Okay, sometimes the toddlers are just minding their own business, but what can we say – cats can be jerks too.

And perhaps a little sadistic.

Feel better?
