To honour the publication of Poison City, a few weeks ago we put a call out for pictures of your pets behaving badly. Little did we know the evil we had unleashed…

It was hard to pick, but based on the totally objective criteria of cuteness, creativity and evilness, here are the winners…

And while they commit acts of literary savagery, her cat is taking to the bottle…
