There are plenty of things that animals can do that we can’t. I don’t know any humans who can fly, swim for thousands of miles at a time or survive in the Arctic without a coat. But despite the amazing capabilities of animals, they can also do some extremely simple things too, such as make us laugh.
We took a trip to Things That Make You Go Awww on Facebook and gathered their funniest posts down below. This page is dedicated to sharing hilarious and relatable animal memes, and it’s the perfect place to visit if you’re in need of some giggles today. So enjoy scrolling through this wholesome list, pandas, and be sure to upvote the photos that give you a greater appreciation for all of the comedians in the animal kingdom!

His Mom was an AKC judge and all-breeds groomer and during her lifetime, she made thousands of puppies look their best!

According to the World Animal Foundation, it’s estimated that there are 2.16 million animal species on the planet. Knowing that makes choosing a favorite animal a bit more difficult! There are creatures that swim, fly, slither, crawl, hop and more. And we’ll never be able to see the vast majority of them in person. But lucky for us, we have pages like Things That Make You Go Awww that allow us to at least see some of the funniest photos of animals out there.
This Facebook page was created in 2012 and has amassed an impressive 107K followers. Over the past thirteen years, Things That Make You Go Awww has posted over 2,000 hilarious memes and photos, capturing the hearts of so many people around the globe.

My dog LOVED the UPS guy. She'd get into his truck and beg for a milkbone.
I love St. Joe Michigan. I was born in South Bend and St. Joe had the closest Dairy Queen.
Are you the type of person who can’t pass by a cat on the street without saying hello and petting their little head? Do you exclaim “Awww!” every time a puppy passes by you with their owner? And are you obsessed with the little birds that hang out on your balcony? If you’re an animal lover, I’m right there with you.
And according to Calmerry, there are a few reasons why some of us just can’t get enough of our furry friends. When it comes to our pets in particular, Calmerry notes that we have symbiotic relationships with them. Because of this, we both grow strong emotional attachments to one another.
I can believe that and judging by its reaction it hadn't finished with wreaking havoc
In Russia, the litter tray is called a pöö tin. Sorry I couldn't help myself
And they would've gotten away with it had it not been for those meddling fire fighters.
Well, to be fair, the Russian cat is almost a popsicle, looks very cold. That is why he started the fire .........
Has to be one of my favourite things. Working at a house and the pets come up to say hello. Terrible apprentices though...
That would be my rottie x cane corso lmao n my staffie to ,the corso would bark a lot she’s LOUD ! But once inside I swear she would show them where every thing is while the staffie makes em tea 😂😂🤦♀️
European Greenfinches don’t have spots, you must be thinking of a Eurasian Siskin, says my friend Cordelia Cupp 😜
Load More Replies...LOL These finches are awesome! I wonder where they were photographed? Our finches here in New Mexico look very different!
As far as why some people even prefer animals over humans, Calmerry points out that we tend to perceive them as innocent and defenseless. We see them as creatures who need us to feed, protect and love them, so we can’t help but have a soft spot for them.
Plus, our relationships with them are relatively simple. Once we learn how to understand their body language, we never have to worry about them talking about us behind our backs or betraying us. We know they’ll always be loyal and waiting for us when we return home.
You hold the catnip hostage, I’ve got all the eggs…but I’m willing to negotiate
If you’re a pet owner, I’m sure you know the benefits of having a pet all too well. But if you don’t have a furry friend, you might want to consider getting one if you’re looking for a companion who can help improve your self-esteem, reduce your stress and encourage you to live a healthier lifestyle. Dogs, in particular, require you to get out of the house multiple times a day and go on walks or run around with them in parks. This can do wonders for your mental health!
Why are you watching these crazy cats on tv when you should be feeding me Sharon?
I had to stop watching it. My cats would freak out whenever the cats on the show expressed their anger.
No, now the cat has you. If it's your first cat, you'll learn that quicly.
"Son, I want you to remember this key to life: 'It was broken when I got here.'" ~ Homer Simpson
He knows everyone thinks babies are cute when they’re sleeping , he fell out as soon as he heard footsteps
I don't get it. Who would leave this poor dog in the crime scene? Whoever did this is getting jail time
Meanwhile, if you’re having a tough day, seeing your cat do something hilarious or having a warm kitty curl up in your lap can instantly change your mood. How can you be upset when a precious little creature comes and purrs on your chest? It’s amazing how much animals can calm us down and remind us that we are loved, even if they can’t tell us with their words.
Cosmetic surgery to cut the dogs ears and tail is prohibited in Europe. Just FYI if you care about animals
And cropping there ears for your benefit because you're so shallow as to prioritise the look at the expense of the dogs ability to communicate with other dogs shows how little you know or care about dogs
Load More Replies...HATE when dogs ears are clipped. For SO many reasons. We had Great Danes my whole childhood. Big, floppy eared, no idea how big they actually are, beautiful Great Danes.
I'm from the UK, and didn't realise until I was an adult that Scooby Doo is meant to be a great dane, because he doesn't look like one because of the ears. I grew up with one. they have lovely, big, floppy ears.
Load More Replies...I hate when they crop ears and dock tails. The dogs' natural look is so much better.
It's more than appearances. Cropping the ears changes the way the dog's body heat is retained or distributed. It also affects their hearing because the ears no longer have their full range of motion to triangulate sounds. Docking the tail is like chopping a ship's rudder halfway off, because the tail is used to maintain balance when running, jumping and turning. Some might argue that the dog adjusts to its new "normal," but no creature can live its best life with someone who purposely maims them.
Load More Replies...Original black and tan, later color red and tan, still later fawn (aka Isabella). The all black variant is very recent. Breeders are weird. BTW, the original breeding left dobies with a long, thin and structurally weak tail, subject to breaking.
Blue is a dilution of black and fawn is a dilution of red. The white Dobes started with a mutation back in the 70s, I believe and people have been profiting off them ever since. The all black dog is also a mutation that makes the markings darker and harder to see. As neither of these colors are original colors of Dobermans, they're not allowed to be shown by the Doberman Pinscher Club of America. And in certain countries in Europe, like Germany, even the fawns and more recently the blues aren't allowed to compete and be bred, either.
Load More Replies...see all comment above and see if you still feel that way!?

While we’ll probably never know for sure if most animals have a sense of humor, there’s no question that they often display behavior that’s hilarious to humans. Beki Hooper, PhD, wrote a piece for Psychology Today explaining how animals often play with one another, and she shared that rats have been known to play hide and seek. Meanwhile, even insects like bumble bees seem to enjoy playing games with one another.
We're we're we're we're we're frens now....
Load More Replies...Don't tell the Internet. Someone will be jealous and call animal control and animal control will hunt you down to your address, take the squirrel and....
Strolch once caught a baby bird. He was surprised himself (podengo portuguese are no bird hunters but rabbit hunters). I told him to spit it out, took the bird to the vet ( no injuries - podengos aren't supposed to cut skin or k**l) and gave Strolch and my car flea treatment. 🥴
We raised a baby squirrel and can confirm that their favorite place is the top of your head.
Despite the fact that your cats can’t use the internet and have no idea what memes are, it’s very possible that if they could understand them, they’d be laughing their little heads off at this list. After all, who doesn’t like to have fun? Dr. Hooper notes that elephants, dolphins, octopuses, primates and more have been known to engage in play. So I think it’s safe to say that these little comedians would enjoy this list!
One day i dropped a friend off home after work, she lives in a quiet back street. Driving away slowly this little dog Bichon Frise type thing ran in the road, I stopped, asked where did you come from. So I put him in the car, pull over and carry him to various houses "is this your dog" no one. So I took him home and I have cats so I put him in the kitchen, said to my husband "we have a situation what do i do" , we took him to the vets and they scanned him and found the owners, he'd broken out the garden.
I had a senior pup walk up and plonk himself down on my porch like he'd lived there all his life. One bowl of water and a belly-rub later we called Animal Control to come scan him. "Little Joe" was chipped and got a free ride home. I think dog treats were also involved...

I sort of want to ask how you end up in the corridor in just a towel. But maybe that's a story best heard after a few beers!

I've got ten months to knit one for my nephew's dog in time for Tewkesbury medieval fair...
if its not too heavy wonder how it works as a coyote prevention vest: I like it better than the ones with pointy things sticking out
Yes! But this one needs something for the head.
Load More Replies...Look at that pooch! My Loverboy has that big pooch and it's the softest cuddliest pillow ever.
Like my boss's rottie, you had to sit on the wall because if you were standing she'd knock the legs out from under you, and lick you to deth. It was like being greeted by a friendly cannonball
Load More Replies...Don't be fooled by that sweet face. He is sharpening his teeth on that fence.
On the plus side, they could have photographic evidence of "the dog ate my homework".
Doesn't everyone do their homework on the computer now, though?
Load More Replies...Knowing my dog, he would make the same faces and try eating it again, at least twice more.
My sister had a lemon tree in her garden, her dogs always tried to eat the lemons and they always made that face. Did they learned from their mistakes? Did they stop eating lemons? Of corse not!
Our dog licks our plates before they go in the dishwasher and sometimes we've eaten something a bit spicy or weird. He still licks it like it's his job but will look up at me like, "Really, Mel? Make something delicious next time!"
Obviously his best friend, his best friend's girlfriend and he had a pretty epic day off, but now can't get the miles off his father's cherished car.
Tired as hell!!! Hahaha! Too much play for the day, just let me relax for a minute then will play again. 🤣

Load More Replies...One time years ago, my friend's cat returned from an adventure with an entire rack of ribs. One of his neighbours was having a very bad day. xD
One of the theories about cats bringing home "presents" is that they are not convinced their owners actually eat, because you know, it's a different experience for cats. So, when they bring home a lizard or a bird, or whatever, the message is not so much "Please admire my hunting skills" as "Eat something so you don't die!" This cat clearly has that mentality on a high level. LOL.
I'd imagine he'd then "bolt" after it. Which would really scr-ew things up... Edit for censor
Load More Replies...I can see the right dog totally being into this, and then my mind said, "Now picture a cat doing this" and I can't.
Trying to get a cat to do something like this would be like nailing Jello to a tree.
Load More Replies..."How'd *he* get in there?" "Dunno." "Is he stuck? Can we get him out?" "Should we call mom?"
"The lamp was in my way, Stewart. Learn to not place things on my zoomie path..."
This meme has been around for at least a decade and is still one of my favorites!
Sorry, I tore your box. I tried to fits and sits but failed to "fits". I did sits though...
Would you really give your credit card to the cat?
Load More Replies...Plot twist: the socks don't belong to OP or anyone else who lives in that house.
One of mine claws things to get my attention. She also walks on the piano, which she knows she's not allowed to do. I work from home so she doesn't understand why I can't pay attention to her 24 hours a day. 🤷♀️
If you work from home, you’re definitely supposed to pay attention to her 24/7!
Load More Replies...You're lucky. One of my cats deliberately chews on things he shouldn't --to tell me he's starving (yeah, right).
'Bad dogs, bad dogs, what ya 'cha gonna do? What ya 'cha gonna do when they come for you...?'
The line should be "What 'cha gonna chew when they come for you"
Load More Replies..."And now my dinner's gonna be late, my nap schedule's thrown off and bedtime's messed up."
Hopefully the man is standing on the ground and this was just posed. Or are people that daft?
"Oh, when I climb the curtains, I get scolded. But it's ok for you climb a mountain and have me strapped to your back like a disgusting hooman child!?"
I am amazed the cat didn't take a drink and then bat the glass to the floor.
Were you expecting anything different, my cats have a electric bowl with a fountain , it is refreshed every other day and they prefer to drink the rusty water from a firepot in the backyard.
Is the idea the spirits are causing trouble because they are thirsty or because they have rabies?
Yeah, I had forgotten about this until I was sitting some cats and woke up to the sound of lapping next to me... nearly had a coronary.
my cat prefers to drink out of cups, so he has his own mug that lives on the coffee table
When I first got Sadie in the summer of 2019 we would go hang out on the deck in the evening. I always took my big cup of water with me and we would just sit on the step and chill. I wondered why my water seemed to be disappearing then I caught little Sadie drinking out of it as well. I was kinda plucked.
Laura, I specifically told you to get me an automatic transmission, not a dual clutch transmission!
I was gonna write "the face", and there you were, writing.
Load More Replies...Always a “fight” with my Corgi to get the dishwasher door closed. Off topic, love seeing a Rough Coated Collie. RIP Buddy, Sam and Shadow.
We used to let the dogs lick all the plates clean before loading them into the dishwasher.
Yep...we have two black labs...it's called "pre-clean"!
Load More Replies...Dogs have adapted and learned that a soulful gaze will prompt guilt in your master
My first thought to this comment was: TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING!
Load More Replies...Can't blame the dog. The owner knows there is a dog in the house, yet sets a tray of steaks on the table and leaves it. Just a lucky day for pup!
That one time we left a big roast on the counter for 30 seconds and came back to see the dog barfing it up
Is it just me and the cat? Then, yes. (although a feline presence in a larger social group would still make me happier).
When I was a kid my cat would dig up spring onions from the garden and hide them under my bed.
He was trying to protect you against vampires, but couldn't find any garlic.

Load More Replies...It's not the act but the situation that's the problem...
Load More Replies...Does anyone else see a happy small dog in the middle of the white zone?
Of course, since we're the ones who can open tins, so we have our uses. Dogs have masters, cats have staff.
Occasionally heard in my house, "That's cause you got no thumbs, Lieutenant Cat."
Load More Replies..."You're not my peson! Let go!" says the all teeth and claws feline.
At least he's dressed to handle the outrage a cat will often show to their rescuer.
This Dane has had his ears cropped. Cue the haters in three, two, one...
Why are you trying to trigger a reaction? It's a cute post about a sweetie.
Load More Replies...I just finished a massive home rehab and, while initially excited by all the activity, one of the cats went back to sleeping in the top of the cat tree, on top of the drop cloth, in the middle of the disaster zone. Saws, sanders, grinders, the explosive 'putchhh-hisss!' of the nail gun, and loud music... Dead to the world.
Load More Replies...My dog -Irish Terrier, had a very big dog basket to sleep in. Over the years, he gradually chewed it to bits. So that in the end it was like a bamboo place mat..but he still used it...
Load More Replies...This would be better if it just showed the lid looking like a spaceship and captioned, "Take me to your larder."
Don't worry, no burglar will get past our dog! Mostly because said dog will be ahead of the burglar at close to light speed, to get behind our bed.
I had a shower drain that wasn't glued down. Cat liked to remove it and stare down into the drain
Are Oreos really chocolate though? They taste like sweet grease and dirt.
Load More Replies...The cat version of my mother's "you don't look with your fingers" is obviously "you don't look with your teeth".
I came into the kitchen one time and my cat was up to her Shoulder in the fish tank; two of them were dead on the carpet - I actually screamed when I saw them, lol. Put a lid on it. This is the same cat that also got to the pet mice and figured out how to take the lid off the old yogurt tub to get to their food. She used her teeth kinda like a can opener and her bottom teeth popped the lid right off.
