A 2018 poll found that over half of pet owners prefer their furry companions company over their best friends, and honestly, who can blame them?
Pets don’t judge or interrupt; they’re always there with unconditional love (and the occasional zoomies).

Adorable Chaos Incoming – And You’ll Love Every Bit Of It
I am not a huge sticker fan, but I can make an exception for this one.
I'm sure the sticker comes in different sizes. You don't have to buy a huge one.

I saw one of these where the wiper was broken so it looked like a stubby tail wagging
Don't forget the ground. Whale needs his friend.

“We have noticed a marked increase in guests who bring their pets, specifically their dogs, travelling with them to share in the experience.”
My cat insists on climbing up on top of my any time she's in the room when I'm on a video call. Of course, no one minds because she's absolutely adorable.
that dog knows he is the main foundation, without him they'll go into anarchy
My Quinn has a heart spot on his back, left foot, up near his ankle. I think my ankle needs a matching one, tbh.
You Just Can’t Not Love These Sweeties
Since so many guests (38%) bring their pets while traveling, Lys commissioned the survey to learn more about the relationship between humans and animals.
In addition to finding out that people prefer the company of their pets over their best friends, they learned that 79% of respondents missed their pets when traveling from home, and around 25% felt lost without their companion on the trip. Meanwhile, half thought that the presence of their pet could’ve made their holiday better.
It's a bird. The bird is bathing. Functioning as intended.
Apparently, some pigeons do this to soak up water in their feathers so they can supply nestlings with moisture.
Birds only breed in spring, in most areas it won't be too hot. After that, the little ones leave the nest and the birdhouse is abandoned until the next year. It is important though to orient breeding houses to the north, so they will be seeing the daylight going by without being blinded. That way they can fend of intruders :).
Load More Replies...I may get downvoted but this seems like one of those things that looks like a good idea but in practice probably isn't. Very large holes so I guess they only want pigeons? For smaller birds, the hole is so large predator birds would have an easy time raiding the nest. Similar comment for the perch in front. Audubon recommends no perch (at least for smaller breeds - not sure all) because predator birds can use them to stand on and stick their head in the hole. No easy way to clean them out each season without walking on your tile roof. And your roof is going to end up with piles of acidic bird poop. I applaud supporting the birds but I think there are better ways to do it.
Wow, all really fantastic points. Maybe the tiles are better off as a prototype and could first be improved upon.
Load More Replies...Upvote for spotted fur menaces! (a tribute to my bestie's Dalmatian, who was forever getting under my feet and tripping me up).
My pit bull used to curl up like this when he was cold, and I would throw a blanket over him!
Besides the benefits already mentioned, our attachment to our pets has to do with their helplessness and vulnerability. We, as humans, feel that these fragile beings require our attention, help, and concern, similar to how we feel about children.
In fact, we’re less likely to feel empathy for adults because they can easily speak up for their rights or defend themselves from danger, whereas animals are unable to do so themselves.
I don't normally like clothes for dogs, but that puppy looks darn proud :)
Animals Being The Emotional Support We Never Knew We Needed
That's like my oldest chihuahua. I've had her for 13 years while I've only been with my husband for 3. Little traitor!
You should probably change your handle to Chihuahua Papa's Wife 😄
Load More Replies...Well, sorry, that's just how it works. Cats own their humans. And if they've chosen a human as their favorite, that human belongs to them first.
look, for some reason cats want all attention when it isn't directed at them-
Well, yeah. You have a problem with that lady?! Hahahahahahahahahahaha we just live in their world!
I assume OP heard people loudly saying “Hi Steve” when they greet him and the dog.
Omg that’s hilarious. Extra Brian points for not correcting you! Say hi to Steve.
This is me also. I'm better with people's pet's name than their name.
There’s also the need for unconditional love. Humans want someone who loves us no matter what, has zero expectations, and is always happy to see us, whether we’re grumpy or not. We need someone who truly knows us, can communicate without a single word, and with whom we have no fear of judgment. Meanwhile, in relationships between people, such things can be difficult to find; that’s why we often fill such a need with pets.
I know it's not possible for everyone, but my husband and I do everything to take our dog with us on every vacation. It means good planning, saying no to some great places that don't accomodate pets and going the extra mile to be sure that all of us have fun, but it's so worth it!
That's what my husband and I do, too!! We even bought a travel trailer to be sure that they can always come along! Aside from still having to avoid places with BSL, it more or less takes care of the "we don't allow pitbulls here" roadblock.
Load More Replies...This is what my old cat used to do. So helpful! :) cat-66ba66...1aea6f.jpg
the cat packed itself, and if you try to move the cat, it will be a litter box, they are evil like that-
Load More Replies...My cocker spaniel used to do this every time I would pack for a trip. Broke my heart. RIP Cinnamon 🥺
same with our Yorkie, we tell her we will be back shortly and she will lower her head and go get in her little bed, kills me to leave her even for an hour or two.
Load More Replies...This pup looks just like my Rico (OTRB). He was my itty, bitty little pitty.
I love watching videos of dogs seeing their humans after a long time, they are almost motionless and as soon as they see them, the broom starts <3 :D
How could you leave this bundle of flerf alone at home when he so obviously needs his mommers?
Home? I wouldn’t have been able to leave him on the floor!
Load More Replies...The bond with animals is also unbreakable, which isn’t always the case with humans. The more time you spend with your pet, the more the connection keeps growing. If you need proof of this, just take a look at darling Hachiko, who waited for his owner at the train station long after he passed away.
Nobody tell Harry Potter that a Chihuahua has it better than he did...
I especially like the picture of Dogs Playing Poker above the dresser.
My chihuahua would be like "yeah, so what? I'm still going to sleep in your bed".
we did this for my dad's guide dog. Had baby pictures of him framed on the wall and everything
Even Sigmund Freud, a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, was a lover of dogs. He once said to his friend Marie Bonaparte in a letter, “Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.”

Load More Replies...sometimes i am in a glaring bad mood but i smile at any pets that i might see. always.
I get this, but please dont smile at my dog. It will be ten minutes of him kissing your face and trying to rest in your arms. He weights 45+ kg, so I get my dues eighter way 😄
My kids and I will always say hi to the pupper but rarely say hi to the owner.
A few days ago I was in the passenger seat of a stopped car, and was looking at a dog and its owner walking towards us. As it got almost next to me the dog veered right towards me, wagging it's tail. Even though I was in the car and only watching it knew I'd have been happy to say hello.
I will smile at her and talk to her in the voice I reserve only for animals and tell her hello and that she's precious.
He found their companionship uncomplicated and pure. Freud became so inseparable from his dogs that he would meet patients with them in his consulting room. On several birthdays, he even received short congratulatory poems with wishes from them, purposefully written by his children.
The little cottontail brush bunnies that live in my blackberry thicket have started to explore the world. They are so tiny and cute! So lucky to see some every year. No predator is going to wade into the berry bushes to get them.

You have won the internet for the day. Congratulations!
Load More Replies...Our dogs' birthday is a birthday of a family member so we don't forget her.
Half of the time as a vet we have to make up a bday cause the pet is a rescue or something. So I ask the owner what is the best day for them: bday, anniversary, xmas, etc.
I have a rescue kitty, that was driven from Florida up to Massachusetts, where I picked her up from a local rescue center. They gave me Toto 😺and an empty folder, 🙀saying they didn't have her paperwork but they would send it to me. I got an email with her info from her birth and vet visit, including her birthday. Her 1st bday (2-15-23) she's super spoiled, of course. 3 days later, I get a text from Toto's foster mom, wishing her a happy bday. I was confused, but found out her actual bday is 2-18-22. It was a typo. Yes, she got even more on her real bday. 😂😻
Omg!!!!! So true!!! Well, we have dog's birthday as Yada yada!! We'll, I wasn't there when he was born!! I took a photo with him and his prescriptions!! And his akc papers with his name!
I don't touch other cats, don't wanna have any risk of dragging home any disease to these. Don't know if it's any risk, bit not risking it!
Load More Replies..."Sharon, you really dont wanna pet me...trust me on this"
Load More Replies...This looks like it would be as hard as one time I was eating cheese around a dog that wasn't allowed people food and she was looking at me with the saddest expression on her face. Like I knew the cheese would be bad for her but she looked so sad and hungry. :(((
Eh, with cats, I'd never touch them without getting their permission first. I'll settle for talking softly to them and letting them sniff me.

Onions, chilli and garlic are bad for dogs, causing seazures, liverdamage and potential death ❤️ burritos are good, but your love must be stronger
That's big dog. I have a big dog and she eaten a bit of everything. In cases like this I just give a tiny piece at the end. That way she feels acknowledged and loved. She's 15 and slowing down but for a 40kg dog she still does very well.
Load More Replies...Remember Bailey, Liz Warren's dog, stole someone's burrito while on the campaign trail? That was funny!
Wholesome. Funny. Fluffy. Perfect Combo.
I taught for one year, and sometimes a group would come to hang out before classes started and draw on the spare board. There was a large sexy Squidward on my board for a good week or two

My poor kitty loved to eat hair ties. It cost us $1500 for the surgery to get them all out of his stomach. We are now meticulous about rubber bands and hair ties. The vet said cats and rubber bends/hair tie problems are not uncommon, and that we were just lucky that they had never left his stomach and gone into his gut.
Hair ties and very dangerous for cats. They can wrap themselves in the stomach, and they can kill. I saw a vet on TV who had to take hair ties out of a cat. It wasn't pretty.
I saw it on Dr Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet. I think he removed about 20 of them. Ever since then I only use scrunchies.
Load More Replies...Mine plays with hair ties. Never once tried to eat them. Just loves to toss them in the air n catch them. Will even bring one to you to play fetch with xD
Lucky, my teachers would always dock points for even a small dot I doodled.
You do know in the end she pushed him off into the depths of the Atlantic, best part of the whole movie.
Load More Replies...The best part? That topping is free.
Load More Replies...This is why we have to be sure to always close the pizza box! The cats think a warm box is the best thing ever.
Very true. My cat says that the very best thing is if you can be on top of a warm thing that smells nice and belongs to you and loves you. She says all cats should find their human and use them as a bed.
Dog and cat children are the best kind of children. Only kind I ever want to have. Well, okay, someday I'd like a snake child and some fish children too.

🎶 All the signs are brooown, and the lights are grey. I went for a driiive on a summers daaay....🎶
And I could not reach the brake pedal anyway, don't like the way I'm driving ;stay off the sidewalk.
i want the light to be red so i dont get to school on time and miss a lot of boring stuff, but I also want the light to be green so the i get to school on time for the before school fun time, there is a lot of gray light area there
OK, I'm embarrassed to admit that I do this as well if they aren't already with me.
It's okay, I think most cat owners do this. I know I do because if I don't and my door gets closed, she will wait till I'm almost asleep to scratch and claw at the door while howling to be let in. Soo, it's better to find her first, lol.
Load More Replies...My big ol Orange Boys only Responsibility is to keep me safe from night monsters. So of course I can't sleep until he is tucked in with me.
I don't remotely have to bother. My cat will find me. She will whine at the door if it is closed. She wants to sleep on top of me most nights.
I can't sleep without my kitty at all. She's old now but it'll sadden me when she dies
They call it a dog tree, but practically all trees have bark.

😂 I remember hearing that on a TV show and it was followed by "Turkey of the Land"😂
Load More Replies...HAHAHAHA!!!! I just laughed so hard I hurt myself and gave my cats an epi. Hells yes I just need a pot that fits my fat asss
I was fostering some kittens, and like my cats, they all fled to escape the dreadful vacuum. All except one. This little kitten didn't seem to mind the noise at all. That's when I knew it was deaf. Verified by vet.
Nonsense like this (Censoring the word YOU) is why I say either throw caution to the and just traumatize everyone or just let each user have a custom filter. I myself am already beyond redemption or any type of retraining, just let me wallow in the filth that is apparently the dictionary.
That's me. 😅 Spocks NEEDS my kisses, though. It's a medical condition. He suffers greatly without them.
Why is a line of the text covered up? I wanna know why his wife was angry :(

No problem as it goes in oven and heat kills off any cute paw germs 🐾💜
This is a joke post... remind me to never attend a potluck with you
Load More Replies...I love it, hilarious. If the paw was washed well and she carried the dog the cookies, no biggie. They still need to be cooked so that should take care of everything. 🤣
one time i was having a bad day and didn't have anyone to talk to because my sister was home sick so on the way home I passed by this area where a bunch of stray cats are and started to play with a kitty but then a bunch of cats just showed up and they walked across the street to some food bowls following this orange cat I call ginger. ginger let me pet her and ig since shes the leader they all let me pet them. my mom ended up driving by trying to look for me and she caught me just surrounded by cats
Once I was going to hurt myself but didn't because I saw and got to pet a cute stray cat. I think that cat saved me.
Grossly overfeeding a pet is a form of abuse, even when it's done out of love
100% too fat... Poor kitty needs to go on a better, healthier diet with portion control.
I hope to God this is a photoshopped image otherwise it would be animal abuse.
I hate seeing obese animals. Fat humans have alternatives. Fat animals are dependent on humans for their health and safety.
