While we frantically wrap last-minute gifts and bake cookies for Santa, our furry friends also like to play a role in the holiday festivities. Like that cat who insists on batting at the tinsel on the Christmas tree, causing more than a few ornaments to come crashing to the ground. Or the dog who gets a little too excited about the dinner table and keeps begging for food.
But at the end of the day, our companions are just happy to be included in the celebration. And it wouldn't be the same without them. So as a thank you, we at Bored Panda put together a collection of funny and heartwarming pictures that show what this joyous occasion really looks like when you have pets. Here's to them making every moment a little more special and a lot more fun.
When you're done scrolling through the publication, check out last year's version here.

You do now. The cat has adopted you. That's how we got our cat. It started hanging around our house as a kitten. We asked all our neighbors if they knew anyone who was missing a kitten and everyone said no so we took him in and fed him and yeah
Paulo Freitas 2 years ago
Well, now you do. Your new master hás chosen you as its new can opener, you should take pride in that distinction.

What! Lol Is this a true story? It just jumped in the gift bag? Seems a little too perfect of a story.
TheAnimalLady 2 years ago
Cats LOVE bags, I believe this bc I've seen it so many times. And boxes, I can't get anything done if I'm using bags or boxes.

Little Snow Nuggets
AbsintheMinded 2 years ago (edited)
Poor pup! This is incredibly common with cocker spaniels. Happens to ours if we don’t get his hair cut shorter. Their curly hair is like a magnet for snow & it balls up & freezes. The only thing that works is sticking them in a warm tub.
