A lot of human food isn’t meant for animals, but that won’t stop some hungry critters from trying to sneak a taste. Some pets and wild animals are so blatant with their culinary thievery that people couldn’t help but snap a pic of their funny and adorable antics.

We wanted to bring a bit of sunshine and humor into your life, so our team at Bored Panda has compiled this list of photos of animals trying (and often failing) to steal human food. And they would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for their meddling owners! Scroll down to see the awesome pics, and be sure to show them to your pets at home, too.

#53 What Is Your Cat’s Favorite Human Food? I Have A Cake Thief

A sneaky pet cat caught trying to steal food by biting a piece of cake on a blue floral plate indoors.

I have three cats. Finn loves popcorn and tortilla chips. He sticks his head in the bag and chooses one. Lexi likes granola bars and goes crazy trying to steal a bite of homemade pistachio cake. Brie loses her mind over the smell of any meat that I’ve smoked when I bring it inside from the smoker. Can’t blame her there lol. And please don’t worry, I don’t give them much or often.
