When we’re feeling down, our beloved pets are always there to pick up our mood with their playful antics. But have you ever wondered about what other people’s pets do behind the scenes? Thankfully, some owners manage to capture the goofiest and derpiest moments on camera, to share them with the world. 

The Comedy Pet Photography Awards has just announced its 30 finalists for 2024, and they’re bursting with humor and cuteness. Scroll down to see the shortlisted photos that are in the running to be the best of the best, as well as to read Bored Panda’s interview with a member of the dedicated team that organizes the wholesome competition. Psst, Pandas, don’t forget to share the post with anyone who you think could do with a good laugh!

    'New Rose' By Jonathan Casey

    Edgar loves to eat flowers, and her favourites are dandelions for spring, snapdragons for summer and here she can be seen gobbling as whole Gertrude Jekyll rose last September. We grow them for her and as she is elderly we handfeed her, sometimes snapping her in between bites as you can see...

    I had a raccoon come in my cat door late one night. My cats chased her into one of my kitchen cabinets and then stood guard so she didn't get out. I has to shut them in another room to get her outside again. For about a month afterwards at least one of them stood guard at the door at all times to keep her from getting back in.
