Animals are the internet's most reliable comedians, and not one of them has ever written a joke. The cat sweeping your mug off the counter while holding eye contact isn't performing. The dog who ate a sock and now looks personally offended that you noticed isn't going for laughs. They're simply committed to their characters, and their characters happen to be ridiculous.

The Instagram page Animal Memes does what pets can't: it adds the captions. Cats appear as landlords who never agreed to the lease, dogs as enthusiastic employees with no idea what their job is, and every so often, a guest from the wider animal kingdom wanders in for a cameo. It works because every pet owner has lived through at least half of these posts, usually before breakfast.

We've rounded up the page's best. Scroll down and tell us in the comments which one is basically a documentary about your pet.

    Cat is actually panting, which is uncommon in cats. It CAN be a sign of extreme distress, stress, overheating, or even illness. Most of the time it's nothing, but if your cat starts panting frequently, talk to your vet.

    NEVER have a cat loose in a moving car, unless you want a crash that your insurance won't cover.

    The eyes are dilated and wide open: that is not a happy cat. Making your pet uncomfortable or unhappy just for luls is, frankly, a*****e. This is not OK, not even if it's just a joke and not doing the cat physical harm. No, I don't need to lighten up.

    Raccoons, but only if you periodically unleash them on the most annoying neighbors and any nearby HOAs.
