Pets are known for their ability to fill our lives with sweet and heartwarming moments. With their extraordinary skills to make every day better, they become great companions and help us forget about all the struggles and stress we experience. Sometimes, it's the way they welcome us when we come back home after a hard day, join us and lay next to us on the sofa while we watch some series, or even when they ask to share our dinner that we can finally eat. All these moments are truly priceless and make us feel loved and peaceful.
There are also other situations when our pets can trigger some strong emotions and not necessarily ones that put us in a calm state of mind. Today, we would like to share with you an interesting collection of images that were shared by pet owners online. All of them have something in common - they feature sweet pets but are captured in a very specific way. The statement “cute pets” doesn’t apply here unless we put it together with “got possessed”. Scroll down to see the funniest photos of dogs, cats, and others, captured in the most frightening moments.

Cat Got Into A Bowl Of Flour
Still in whatever hellish realm this "cat" has appeared from lol
Load More Replies...I guarantee that the cats face was pushed into the flour! Cats are not stupid, no cat is going to place its entire face in a dish of flour… ever!
I agree Cats don’t put their heads in anything like that. This is a set up. Poor cat.

I Present The Most Terrifying Image In My Camera Roll
You have given me a name for a future dear sweet kitty 😻💖
Load More Replies...Thank you! This is absolutely the face of *DERP?!?* I am positive the only thing going on in that brain is the fax- signal- lost noise. *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE......ad infinitum*
Load More Replies...Lykoi! I absolutely adore these derpy cats! And all cats, actually, but these are awesome! Like all cats..
Nope, not a Lykoi :) This is Pixel, and he is a Cornish Rex, not a Lykoi.
Load More Replies...We reached out to Alyson Kalhagen, the owner of the amazing cat duo - Pixel and Sophie. The reason we contacted her is our post also features hilarious images of Pixel watching Alyson from the top of the shower. Can you guess which one we are talking about? In case you’re struggling, you can click here to see it! We wanted Alyson to describe the first time she noticed her cat doing this, and her initial reaction. Kalhagen shared with us: “The first time I saw Pixel climb to the top of the shower honestly scared me because I was afraid he was going to fall, but I was kind of stuck doing my business and wasn't really able to jump up and grab him. After I saw him doing it a few times I became more confident that he knew what he was doing, so now it doesn't worry me as much.”
Mentioned We Were Out Of Treats On My Way Out Of The Room. Came Back To This
Well, that's why we don't mention the t-word. I always call them crunchy little squares because otherwise it summons the plushy demons.
Exactly. You never say the t-word unless you are prepared to give them lol
Load More Replies...That's why I have a storage of treats and back up storage and the back up gets topped up when it's got 2 bags left. With 6 cats I can't risk running out of treats!
"Get him..." *the leader walks away, and the soldiers step in to catch the human*
It’s odd how often the little monsters arrange themselves into a fe-line like that.
My Cat Matt
Oriental shorthairs are adorably fascinating. Matt looks like a person who was cursed to be a cat and has just realized this.
I was gonna say, he DOES look like a Matt, Matthew.. LMAO.
Load More Replies...True… I feel like a sorcery was involved in this cats life at some point. Like Matt the human was just ordering coffee on day, arguing with a witchy-looking barista over the price of oat milk and and the next thing he knew he was a cat
Load More Replies...A little living gargoyle. I love it. Also it looks like he's seen some heavy s**t.
Cat Tried To Give Me A Heart Attack
Funny pet moments often create lasting memories. We were wondering if Alyson can recall any other instances where Pixel has startled or scared her in amusing ways. The cat’s owner told us: “People always assume that it would be scary to see Pixel in the middle of the night, but when he startles me it is usually because he decides to scream at me for no reason. He is quite vocal when he wants to be and sometimes he will just come running out of nowhere to have a very loud chat.”
This Is Gar. Gar Likes To Aggressively Watch Me Pee
Gar looks to be a Rex breed to me :) Cornish or Devon - I’m not sure. Gorgeous kitty either way!
On the original post, OP said that Gar is a Devon Rex. He is indeed a lovely looking kitty.
Load More Replies...Did he just get out of the shower? Looks like he let his fur air dry naturally on this day.
I believe that Gar may be a Devon or Cornish Rex cat.
Load More Replies...That coat! and that face. It's the kind of distinctive looks Disney goes for in its characters. Like in the cat group that one would be a bit harsh and angry and voiced by someone who sounds like they smoked 2 packs a day. The character that is kind of at a distance because it is sort of gruff and rude but later in the movie they turn out to have a kind heart and we all learn we shouldn't judge a book by its cover and so on.
My Dog Holding A Pinecone
Yea, until the dog pulls an uno reverse on you and that's actually it's teeth, and it bites your hand off xD.
Load More Replies...Time For A Nap. Scared Me For A Moment
Solid wheels are much safer than these new with the gaps, little feet can get hurt.
Agree! Even more, now it is recommended to buy a "tilted running plate" for your dwarf hamster or mouse. Got one for the last 3 of my little fluff-balls. Mind, that the normal life-span a Djungarian hamster hamster ranges about 2-4 years, even shorter when they are the bastardy versions - cross-breeded with Roborovski dwarf hamster - to obtain a wider variety in fur color. Such as they were sold in German pet shops... Anyway, I agree with the feet, if only one of my little fluffs showed a problem here when aging. But i have to say, that these ergonomic running devices never came to fruition, as all of my hamsters died by other causes (age/cancer related). Never one being able to develop a disc prolapse. But if you love your little furry roommate this is probably what you do. Buying him the best wheel/plate and also a cage in the size suitable for Guinea pigs 🤗
Load More Replies...One of the worse fears. As the age this gets worse as you quietly stare waiting, just waiting, to see them take a breathe or move. Cause no way do you want to wake them from such a glorious sleep.
Asked if Pixel has any other entertaining habits or antics that bring joy to the owner’s daily life, Alyson mentioned: “When Pixel was about a year old, I noticed that he had a tendency to show his teeth at things he wanted to catch, usually toys that were shiny or had a bell or shaker. After a while, I figured out how to use certain items that pique his interest to encourage him to "smile" for the camera, which has led to endless hilarity in creating photos and videos. He is just the most incredible creature I've ever been privileged enough to know, and I will never understand how I got this lucky.”
A Pet Crow Holding A Knife In His Mouth
That's Canuck the Crow. Google him - he actually stole this knife from a crime scene!

This Really Messed With My Head For A Few Minutes Before I Realized
It's a dog looking upward. The "snout" is an ear and the "ear" pointing upwards is the nose.
Thank you! I've seen this pic a couple of times and could never figure it out!
Load More Replies...Dead god I thought it was a deformed piglet - it took way too long to realize it’s a pup.
Why Even Own A Hairless Cat?
As an aside, Sphinx cats are NOT hypoallergenic, so for those with severe cat allergies, do not adopt a Sphinx thinking that they will not trigger your allergies because they have no fur. The allergens exist also in the cat’s skin dander and saliva.
I wonder if they took the picture like that on purpose or the cat was trying to jump on something when they did!
Lastly, we were curious how Kalhagen would describe Pixel’s temperament and if she could tell us more about some of the things that he enjoys doing. Alyson said: “Pixel is really energetic, on the go, and likes to have all my attention 100% of the time. He has spent most of his life in front of the camera at this point, so he really enjoys the attention that he gets when we are playing dress-up and making videos. I've even got a video of him bringing me his sunglasses so we can dress up and play! We've been able to start using the content we create to raise money for my favorite cat rescue, and later this year we plan to produce content in support of various other nonprofits as well. Pixel seems to really have a knack for fundraising, and I feel like this is what we are supposed to be doing with all this.”

The other old joke: if the cat had been walking away from him, the man who invented cats eyes would have invented the rotary pencil sharpener.

He’s Been Sitting Like This For 15 Minutes. It’s Starting To Scare Me
A friend had a hypothesis that cats can see into other dimensions and that's why they'll suddenly jump up like surprised, for no apparent reason: they've seen something startling in another dimension.
Load More Replies...He's waiting for the delivery of the braincell he shares with the other orange cats 😂
In general, a cat engaging in long gazes at the wall is nothing to worry about. However, occasionally, it can indicate a medical condition that requires attention. Staring at the wall can be a symptom of three concerns: Feline cognitive dysfunction, feline hyperesthesia syndrome, and head pressing
That might be a cue to take him to the vet… if he isn’t just looking at light moving on the wall, something might be terribly wrong!
It reminds me of the post the other day where the cat just stares at the ice cube and purrs... what does he see there?!
Sensory overload, needs a "time-out" from hoomans for a bit. Been there many times myself.

Perfect reflection? Or ghost kitty on the other side of that window. Either way, love this photo.
My Friend’s Cat, Winston. Either He’s Seeing Beyond The Veil, Or He Just Found Your Late-Night Internet Search History
That face and those amber eyes—-looks just like my Jack, who is also a 15 pounder—-no Maine C**n or Norwegian Forest Cat in him at all. He has just REALLY loved food since he was a kitten, and he was the runt of his litter, believe it or not!
Why does it look like Winston is carrying a backpack? The way his fur is on either side of his body look like straps, and behind him, well, it looks like a backpack, or another type of bag.
A Sleeping Cat
It still looks like a disembodied head no matter how much I zoom in.

I Almost Got A Heart Attack When I Heard Meowing Above Me
I caught a kitten that jumped down from a second-story apartment balcony. Might want to keep her away from there.
“Okay, Mittens. I realize things are pretty scary right now, but I’m going to ask you to slowly back up away from the window…”
My dumbass cat would jump down, hoping to land on my shoulders. Every morning I give her a "ride" to another room to her food. I bend over, she walks on to my back, then I'm stuck bent in half, walking with 18lbs on me to another room to put her down, and by put her down I actually mean she uses her claws to slowly walk down my back while scratching the bajesus out of me!

Years ago I had a cat who would “walk” upside down on the bottom of the box spring like that. Weird sound the first time. Once I knew what it was, then I’d just holler at Major (who was a ginger and white tomcat, named for the ginger marking on his white arm that looked like an oak leaf cluster) to stop it, damn it, I’m trying to sleep!
My cat used to do that on an old chair with the fabric on the bottom. She ripped it to shreds, so now she just climbs our screendoor.
