50 Times Animals Did Things For The First Time, And Had The Funniest Reactions
Some of our most memorable moments come from the first time we did something, whether it be our first day at school, our first trip to the dentist, or the first time we rode a bike without falling off. But as you can see from this funny list compiled by Bored Panda, firsts are important to animals too! Just as you'll never forget your first time on an airplane, a cat will never forget the first time it experienced snow, and a dog certainly won't forget the first time it was introduced to the vacuum cleaner! Scroll down for more funny animal firsts, and don't forget to add your pictures to the list!

Looks like the dog is trying to imitate that famous cat gesture it saw on TV now that he has finally seen one in real life. Cat looks confused, but kinda accepts to play along. Reminds me of when people get friendly with foreigners and get playful with stereotypes about their culture.

Several years ago, we has a big guinea fowl outside and a young kitten inside that would sit in the window watching that fat bird outside. Basically her entire kittenhood was spent in this window yearning to go play with that bird. When she got older, we finally let her out to discover the rest of our little farm and she walked up to that guinea a little too fast before realizing he was quite a bit larger up close than he had appeared to be through that window. She looked up at him, he looked down at her, and her face just kind of dropped and she slunk back into the house.

I wish I had gotten a photo of the reaction of my cat when she first heard thunder while outside on my patio. She ran into the house, and kept ducking and crouching, while looking up at the ceiling as if she were thinking "How did the air make that scary noise???" It was hilarious, despite having to calm her down.
