It’s safe to say that pets bring joy to an otherwise boring household. So, when they become more emotional and show a bit of attitude for whatever reason, their owners tend to give them a pass.
Some may even snap a photo of said moment, which, when perfectly captured, could come off as an Academy Award-winning performance. In case you’re scratching your head after reading that, here are some photos to show you what we mean.
As always, enjoy the warm fuzzies from our collection of animal photos.

Animals like dogs and cats do not express emotions in exactly the same way humans do. This is why we may easily misconstrue their actions. One example is when they did something bad, like ruin furniture.
According to Dr. Karen Hiestand, a lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London, the idea that animals feel guilt is “widespread but incorrect.”

“When you get home, and they’ve ripped up a cushion, what you’re seeing isn’t guilt – it’s fear. They are picking up that you are angry or upset,” Dr. Hiestand told The Guardian.

Still on the topic of peculiar behaviors, cats have a reputation for being standoffish, unlike dogs, which are often perceived to be warmer and more social. Dr. Hiestand addressed this, stating that dogs are group-living animals that co-evolved with humans for at least 40,000 years.
Cats, meanwhile, come from a “completely solitary” ancestor and have not lived alongside humans as long.

Cats, for one, are “experts at masking pain.” This means that any subtle changes, like reduced appetite, litter box issues, or decreased interaction, may be early warning signs of health problems.
Meanwhile, a dog dealing with an illness may show changes in energy levels, sudden aggression, or anxiety. Possible illnesses include arthritis, dental diseases, or hormonal imbalances.

This one is more sad. People breed animals so deformed they cant breathe normally. Old paintings of pugs included some sort of nose.

My Mum Washed All The Dogs Toys. And Now He Won't Come In The House Without Them

My kid used to stand in front of the washer/dryer any time I washed his "lovey" as a toddler. We ended up buying a 2nd identical one so he didn't have to worry about the original one drowning. 😁

She Never Thought The Toilet Paper Roll Would Fight Back
Smeghead Tribble Down Under 8 hours ago
I've said it before: I sincerely hope this is photoshopped. Any ferret caught in a tube like that is in very real danger of quickly suffocating. DON'T GIVE ferrets small tubes to play with unless they are cut clean through so they can't get stuck. I hate this photo with a passion >.<
