50 Times People Spotted Animals Doing Their Usual Stuff And Just Had To Take Pics (New Pics)
Animals can put on a wonderful show, whether it’s a dog trying its best to pick up all the sticks in the five-mile radius, a cat testing the durability of yet another box, or farm animals living their best life. Even though such goofy behavior can often lead them into quite a predicament, they never cease to amaze us by doing something of the kind again.
A lot of examples of quirky things animals do can be found on “The Snuggle Is Real” Instagram account. With nearly 90 thousand followers, it shares funny animal pictures, among other entertaining content, which we have gathered here for you to browse. Sit back, enjoy the giggle, and make sure to check out our previous collections of “The Snuggle Is Real” animals here, here, and here.
In order to better understand at least one type of the goofy animals in the pictures, Bored Panda has turned to Dr. Marci Koski, a certified feline behavior and training consultant at Feline Behavior Solutions. She was kind enough to answer a few of our questions and provide more information about cat behavior. Scroll down for our full interview with her.

I would very much appreciate if people wouldn't smell me

Animals manage to bring a smile to one’s face even on the gloomiest of days. Their mischievous ways, over-the-top cuteness, and incredible sense of empathy can melt even the coldest of hearts, and these images are here to prove it.
The funny animal pics found on “The Snuggle Is Real” cover everything from farm animals, to pets, and beyond. Some of the things they do might seem goofy to us, but it’s often instinct that leads them to such actions.
For instance, the internet (and likely the gallery on your phone, if you’re a cat owner) is brimming with pictures of cats in boxes and similar enclosed spaces. As funny and weird as their fascination might seem, it’s actually a survival instinct that guides them to similar containers.
I have had chickens and geese do this to me. Also just randomly coming in when the weather is hot and the door is open. Nothing heaps shame on your housekeeping like a chicken who is able to free range feed from your floor. :)
I wish I had a potty trained few for the kitchen. Would clean up the kids mess in no time at all
Load More Replies...Looks like they're planning a heist, and the kitten is the mastermind.
Trying to get the motherload of all feasts back to his den, he must have been so disappointed when dinner woke up on him.
They are more like cats in dog suits from what I hear. With added energy and craziness. Too much for my lazy to handle.

“Cats are both predator and prey animals and they like to sleep where they feel safe,” certified feline behavior specialist, Marci Koski, told Bored Panda. “Boxes and other nooks and out-of-the-way places offer a sense of safety for many cats—they're places where they can hide (from potential predators), stay warm, and sometimes even see without being seen. Just because we might not think a certain container would be good for sleeping doesn't mean that a cat wouldn't find it cozy, warm, and safe-feeling!”
It's Winky and Mr Weasley!! The only time they ever BBQed was in Book 4 the Goblet of Fire. Mr. Weasley refused to let anyone use magic and insisted on cooking food just like the Muggles do. So many great lost opportunities for the movies. But Harry Hermione and Ron also had to cook out a lot in the Deathly Hallows and Dobby was there for a little while. I think Hermione usually used magic to cook the food. Poor Dobby.
I had a snappy reply and you ruined it with one a lot better. Darn !
Load More Replies...My daughter asked if she could get a kitten. I said NO. The next day I met Stella 😺 Before I knew it, she was pregnant. I kept one, and the rest went to good homes after weaning. Before I could get her fixed, pregnant again. The kitty I kept began nursing again. All these tiny kittens, and Beau.
Maybe keep her inside until you get'er done? 860,000 cats are euthanized each year in the USA alone 😿😭
Load More Replies...my mum arguing to my teacher about how I failed on an assessment that my mum did for me
If I fits, I sits kind of situations are just the tip of the iceberg. Another common picture-worthy moment for feline owners is their pet sitting with its mouth slightly open, looking somewhat zoned out. It might seem like not much is going through their heads at that moment; however, such instances often mean they’re tasting the air. Yes, due to a process, known as the Flehmen response, cats are able to taste the air.
The journey ahead will be difficult. Take this with you. It's cuteness will ward of any evil that may cross your path.
When my wife is feeling stressed we take her to a farm nearby to play with the baby goats. They are insanely cute.

Please show this picture to every westener who freaks out when seeing someone looking even just the littelest bit like someone fron the middle east. Normal people with the same humour as everyone else! We are one people!
Who from the West freaks out when seeing a picture of someone from the Middle East??! I'm sorry if the only interactions you've had with Westerners have been with Trump or BNP supporters or racists. Most of us aren't like that.

Cat behavior can be affected by numerous factors. In addition to genetics, Marci Koski also emphasizes the importance of the environment the feline lives in, and how they are socialized at an early age with humans. “We can't really change a cat's genetics (aside from breeding), but we often do have control over our kitties' environment and socialization,” says the expert.
“It's incredibly important that kittens have good experiences with all types of people (and even other animals) during their sensitive socialization period, which is when they are about 2 weeks old to about 7-9 weeks old.
“Additionally, a cat's environment must be set up so that they can express their natural instincts when it comes to feeling safe and secure in their territory, hunting for prey (or playing, if they are indoor kitties), and utilizing important resources (food, water, litter boxes, perching/sleeping locations, toys, etc.)”
I absolutely love this one! Iguanas really do form personal relationships. They are fun and smart reptiles. The only problem is that older males have a tendency to act very dominant, and will stop being nice.
Valuable information! Now I know how to tell a male from a female. Males wear a bow tie

It may be your b’day, but go easy, buddy. Those cheeks are gonna explode anytime soon
When it comes to pets, entertainment can become a two-way street. The critters lift people’s spirits with their silly or endearing actions, but they often expect attention and playtime in return. “To give your cat the best life, the most important thing is to play, play, play,” Mari Koski pointed out.
“Giving your cat play sessions with a long wand toy that mimics hunting helps build confidence, provide an outlet for predatory instincts, and reduce stress. Plus, it's fun! Daily play sessions (the number will vary depending on the age of your cat) will help you maintain a good bond with your kitty and keep them physically and mentally active,” she added.
"Foolish human. Cats are made for jumping and wreaking havoc!"
Load More Replies...All the cats my family has ever had would hide under furniture, most of the time beds, and scare the hell out of us randomly.
There's nothing like getting into bed in the dark only for a paw to grab your foot 😂
Load More Replies...That was my thought. How many people live here that you need so many shoes? Surely you could spare a few for the dog
Load More Replies...He seems like he has kind look on his face and is trying to convey to you that he would NEVER do anything like that! and that "he's just misunderstood 😧🐶
Don’t let that look fool you! It’s a ploy for them to get away scot-free. Well, I was a sucker for it 😅
Load More Replies...I can't imagine why all the shoes are out of reach. Surely no one in the picture would ever even think about chewing them.
Just waiting for one to fall... just one. If I stare long enough it will be like food and just come right to me
Another endearing thing pets do is tilt their head. It’s especially common among dogs that often synchronize it with lifting their ears for the maximum awww effect. There might be several reasons they do it, though. Some scientists argue that the head tilt is related to mental processing, concentration, and memorization of certain information. Others believe it’s related to the sound collection and visual perspective, often affected by their long snouts.
What’s that little nut even doing just hanging around, striking poses ❤️
The hay is sub par, nay completely unsatisfactory this morning. You can do better.
Those people who stick their chewing gum behind their ear to save it for later.

When it comes to more exotic types of pets, parrots can also be great companions. By mimicking human language, they can learn to carry a short conversation or at least answer with phrases they’ve heard people using. They typically use voice to communicate with their flock members and can even put the latter in a playful mood with their play call.
I bet you he did this. They can be very aggressive at times, little shits
My most traumatic experience was I was down walking on the beach with a sandwich and one came up behind me. I mistakenly fed it a bit of the sandwich and it raised up on its toes and lifted its wings above its head then put its head towards the ground and charged me. I threw the sandwich and ran for my life. I was only 12.

For anyone wondering, this is likely a heat lamp. Their fur looks poofed as well, so it's probably quite cold wherever this is.
"Missed it by that much", Get Smart... it's the 'Cone of Silence". "Sorry about that, Chief", I just couldn't help myself 😹🤣😹 (definitely a heat lamp & you're right about the fur).
Load More Replies...That's not actually for him, he's bringing that back to his rabbit friends.
Animals of larger proportions can also be just as playful or sweet. For instance, did you know that cows are profoundly social creatures? According to Animal Outlook, they enjoy playing and are capable of forming strong connections with other species and human beings likewise. In addition to that, they are believed to feel fear and anxiety just like people do.
And here we have the Florida swamp cat carrying its precious child
Anyone else read that in David Attenborough’s voice?

Load More Replies...Your comment made me go back and take a second look! Almost missed it.
Load More Replies...I'm positive I would have jumped out of my skin before I realized it was the dog.
If you would have a dog, you would know. Imagine dachshund with brick in mouth.
Load More Replies...Fear is not the only emotion humans and animals share; the latter are capable of feeling empathy as well. They are able to empathize with both people and other animals and use different means to express it. For instance, bonobos might console each other by hugging while Asian elephants calm down their friends in distress by ‘talking’ and touching them.
Really? Five people made the same joke and not one of y'all thought of "Jean CLAWED Van, Damn!"
Well, of course. What's theirs is theirs, but what's mine is theirs as well. I often have to time their canned food feedings with my dinner just so I can distract them long enough to escape to my bedroom to eat with the door closed. Yes, the cats rule the house now.😅
Load More Replies...Me any time cheese is present. I was at a party once and someone put a cheese platter right next to me. There were no survivors.
⚠️PSA⚠️Grapes, raisins, sultanas and currants are toxic to cats and ferrets too, not just dogs. Even small amounts can cause kidney damage, kidney failure and death.
Still a baby which shouldn't have been left alone for such a long time...
"Ugh you should have seen it. It was so fast, it took out the plants and it almost killed me too!"
"the plant just fainted and I did my best to help, it was exhausting!"
And THIS is why we crate train, I just hope it wasn't a toxic plant.
Believe me - A tree ran into the house, then it it just disappeared before I could chase it.
Whether it’s a dog, a parrot, or some other animal, their companionship usually has a positive effect on the owner. The Mental Health Foundation pointed out that they can bring stability into people’s lives, in addition to encouraging them to be more active and social. According to APPA, nowadays, roughly 66% of US households (nearly 87 million of them) own a pet of some kind.

Load More Replies...So... am I the only one old enough to remember the 90's cartoon 'cow & chicken'?
EDIT: See glowworm's comment below - which explains the "weirdness" I am seeing. (thank you glowworm) This one feels photoshopped. Or if you know different let me know. Not because of the chicken (which is out of focus) but the front legs. I lived on a dairy and beef farm and never saw one lay with their legs like that. Just googled a ton of cow laying down pics - same thing. They almost always bend their legs under at the carpal joint (what looks like the 'knee')
This one actually is real.The cow and the chicken both have physical disabilities and live together on an animal sanctuary in Arizona. The cow has dwarfism and was born without bones in his legs. Hence, why they're just flopping around here. Here's a news story on the two, and there's video footage of this photo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gKjDEhxS5Y

My dog tore through our door (just one layer, not all the way through). We opened the door and put up a gate and that lowered his anxiety significantly. I wonder if he was a power chewers or older, if we would have come home to this instead.
Load More Replies...I've seen houses like this, delivering Christmas hampers, specialist police teams hate houses like this, landlords, especially social-housing landlords have nightmares about houses like this; this isn't something to be celebrated, this is trailer-trash with an out of control hound.
Because OP think that it's funny (bc it didn't happen to them). I see neglect IF he's been in there for too long &/or without toys/etc. This kind of thing is why we crate train our animals. They can get sick if they actually eat the pieces.

When kittens get their first taste of solid food, like the older cats eat, they can’t seem to get enough of it. I’ve had cats who, when the6 were kittens, literally climbed into the food bowl to eat it, and needed a bath afterward so the chunks didn’t dry onto their fur. I needed to keep a tube of Laxatone handy because, if I looked away for a minute, a couple of them would gobble up so much so fast they’d end up rather uncomfortably full, and need to relieve themselves of some of that “bulk”. Luckily, they quickly learn to regulate their appetites and stop being such gluttons.
