50 “Shameless” Pets That Stole Their Owners’ Partners And Didn’t Even Feel Sorry About It
Jealousy is a heck of a thing. You see them cozying up to your partner, grabbing their attention, getting tons of cuddles, and making them smile far wider than you ever made them. When it comes to pets, you just can’t compete—they’ll shamelessly steal your significant other’s heart and act all cute and smug about it!
Don’t believe us? Well, our team here at Bored Panda has all the proof you’ll ever need. We’ve collected some of the best photos that prove how unabashedly pets (from dorky doggos to cute cattos) monopolize the attention that our loved ones should be lavishing us with!
Get ready to have your mood improved and to go ‘aww’ so hard, you’ll consider adopting a new pet. Don’t forget to upvote the pics that you loved the most as you scroll down. You’ll find our previous wholesome post about those cute but dastardly pets stealing our significant others right over here.
Bored Panda was interested to learn more about animal empathy, consciousness, and their world of emotions, so we reached out to the PDSA, the UK's leading vet charity. PDSA vet Lynne James told us that animals lead lives that can be as rich and complex as our own. Read on for the full interview.

There is something so comforting about both going to sleep and waking up hugging a soft warm purring cat, who is cuddling you so close it’s like they’re part of you. You can’t even hug a person that close, no matter how much you want to.

Every time I go to someone's house their pets do this with me. I have a couple of theories: 1) They're excited about the new "friend" 2) They figure they can get away with stuff their "owners" won't let them get away with. 3) I have somehow gotten a tattoo only animals can see that tells them I'm a sucker.

With mine it is pure joy about additonal play and attention. Total mommas boy (here come the downvotes) but rare human visitors are a highlight.(might have to do with even rarer contact due to covid)
