Without jobs or bills to worry about, they’re free to be playful, curious, and effortlessly funny, and just watching them for a moment can make the day feel better.
That naturally makes them perfect meme material. On the Instagram page Pets Rule The Universe—and it’s hard to argue with a name like that—animals are simply being their hilarious selves. Scroll down to see their best memes and let them melt some of that stress away.

Yes. The animals were used to interaction with visitors so many zoos increased enrichment activities for the animals.

Can never understand this! Am in Australia so have never seen a real skunk or opossum, but I've alawys thought they were adorable! I LOVE rats, they are clean, sweet and super intelligent, and while I don't LOVE pigeons, I think they're pretty birds that make a nice sound.

Unfortunately the cute skunks, and they are cute, smell terrible. I have had dogs sprayed before and it's really hard to get rid of!!

Add wolves to this list. Wolves account for about 0.001% of livestock deaths, and are a keystone species. As in, there is Literally NO OTHER SPECIES that can take their place in an ecosystem. Yet in many places they are classified as vermin, and it is legal to run them over with snowmobiles.
Paw Paw 1 month ago
same with mountain lions. Every animal on Earth evolved as a part of their ecosystem. Either as prey, of predator, and is an important part. If humans can't get along with them, the first answer is to k-i-l-l them.

Instructions on how to wash your toilet 1. Put both lids up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid. 4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the loud noises, the cat is actually enjoying this. 5. Flush three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse". 6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the here and the front door. 7. Standing behind as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. 8. The cat will rocket out out, streak through the room and run outside where he will dry himself off. 9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean. Sincerely, The Dog

Interestingly, there's research that shows that dogs and cats that have been reared with children recover from operations better than those who are not. This appears to be because they interfere with their dressings less. Basically they're just "Oh. I'm wearing a silly outfit again. Never mind" rather than "Aargh! What is this annoying thing get it off of me!".
