When we see pictures of dogs, cats, and other domestic and wild animals on the internet, they’re usually cute and charming, but the social media project Animals Going Goblin Mode flips that script by celebrating the messy, mischievous, and delightfully chaotic side of their behavior.

From intense stares to unexpected poses, these folks invite us to embrace the imperfect, goofy, and sometimes downright inconceivable moments that make animals so irresistibly entertaining. So, we collected their best recent posts and want you to dive in—every now and then, we all need a reminder that being a little crazy is totally okay.

    That's just the human condition. Also, my cat had a similar personality to mine, so maybe it's the owner's fault. Also also, this is an Ukrainian cat, Stepan, so maybe it's PTSD.
