In its six years of existence, the ‘Important Animal Images’ Facebook page has amassed more than 1.2 million followers; and unsurprisingly so – pictures of animals being their goofy selves is something many people can get a kick out of.
Talking to Bored Panda about how it all started, the founder of the page shared that they’ve always loved animals as well as the internet’s ability to turn a simple moment into something universally funny or heartwarming.
“I started the page to create a little corner of the internet where people could take a break from the chaos and just enjoy something light, wholesome, and occasionally ridiculous. It started as a fun experiment — and I never expected it to grow like it has,” they said.

During an interview with Bored Panda a couple of years ago, the founder of the Facebook page shared that they never expected to reach one million followers, let alone gain hundreds of thousands beyond that.
“I never thought that this page would reach one million followers. Honestly, I created this page to spread positivity, not to gain followers. It feels like people love this page, and it's heartening to see that,” they shared back then, adding that living up to netizens’ expectations is quite a responsibility.
It might be the Truly, but I have a genuine smile and chuckle. Thank you!!!

“Sometimes, I also read the comments,” the mastermind behind the page said back then. “Someone wrote that they eagerly waited for this page's posts all day. Someone else mentioned that it's a stress buster for them. Seeing such reactions is reassuring and makes me feel like I'm making good use of my time.”
During the more recent interview, they added that seeing the joy the page brings to people is what they enjoy the most about managing it. “Seeing the comments, messages, and shares from people who say a post made their day — that's the best part. Also, curating the perfect mix of funny, cute, and ‘important’ images is surprisingly fun.”

Load More Replies...The person responsible for the ‘Important Animal Images’ page shared that the response they receive from the online community has been an overwhelmingly positive one. “I think people are hungry for simple, feel-good content and animals are a universal language,” they said. “It’s amazing how this little niche page has turned into a community where people feel connected through laughs and shared appreciation for animals.”

Daughter came home with a perm in the 80's. I said you look like Little Orphan Annie. She went and blow dried her perm to get it out. She learned a couple of valuable lessons that day. (P.S.. I was actually a good dad, both daughters highly succesful.)
Hehe I got a perm in the 80s, the full Kevin Keegan. My nan asked me if I wanted her to go and sort out the hairdresser who did it...

“I think pages like this offer a mental reset,” the founder continued, sharing why they believe people are drawn to this type of content. “Whether someone’s had a rough day or just needs a quick smile, these posts can be a small but meaningful boost to their mood. It’s like digital comfort food — safe, familiar, and always satisfying.”

Load More Replies...During the earlier interview, the person behind the Facebook page emphasized that the human-animal bonding is special. “Animals love you unconditionally,” they said, adding that they consider it the purest form of love.
“They, too, have emotions similar to humans, and only someone who loves animals can truly feel this emotion.”
Talking to Bored Panda more recently, the founder expanded on that idea, suggesting that animals are honest and pure. “Animal content doesn’t have an agenda — it’s just animals being themselves, and that’s refreshing in a world where so much online content feels curated or performative. Plus, animals are endlessly funny without even trying.”

Cats do communal childcare; they might have decided they need to babysit.

Every kitten, and quite a few cats, I have adopted in my life does this when it’s cold and they want to get as close as possible to their hooman. Remember, as babies they all slept in a fuzzy jumbled pile, so why should they stop just because they’re living with new hoomans now?
You do know that PETA believes no animal should be a pet and that all pets are better off dead right? Their shelters k**l 98% of all animals. They advocate to remove and euthanize all pets because they think pet owning should be illegal.
Load More Replies...It came to pass that Azhrarn, Lord of Chaos, was conversing with Uhlume, Lord of Death, and Azhrarn was bored, as was his wont. Glancing around, an idle thought crossed his mind, and he proposed a wager to Uhlume. “I will get humans to willingly accept snakes into their homes.” “Humans will not take snakes in; they find them repugnant,” was Uhlume’s reply. So Azhrarn took the snake. He took some of its length and used it to fashion legs, that the snake not slither upon the ground. He gave the snake a coat of fur, to warm it so that the snake not be cold, which the humans found off-putting. He added a pair of ears, to further disguise the snake. But he left the snake’s vertically-slitted eyes, and its predatory nature, so that it would beguile humans by preying on mice, rats, and other vermin, to engender trust. And he gifted this creation to humans, who indeed accepted it eagerly. Lord Uhlume maintained that Azhrarn had cheated, and that debate continues to this day. - Tanith Lee
We always said our cats were going for the "world's longest cat award" when they'd do a full-body stretch. This cat is definitely the winner of that award.
"Cat Length Testing". Along with "Starfish Paws" (yawn and stretch with all claws on display) and "Cat Gravity" (when you try to pick up the cat and it liquefies and runs through your fingers). Cats seem to lend themselves to such picturesque expressions.

The poor dog won't come out of the elevator because it's too embarrassed.

I wish people would warn in the headline of the photo that there is a snake. I have such a phobia. They come on tv. and we have to turn the channel, someone tries to show me one on their phone and I will come unglued. We all have our quirks, this is one of mine and it is a goody!!
I understand. Mine is sharks. there's currently a commercial for car insurance i think that has a shark suddenly show up. i'm usually here or reading the news so my husband loudly says don't look.

Are you joking or serious? I've had three cats. All three loved time in their harness and leash. We chose a harness so as not to accidentally strangle them. We didn't want them to be outside kitties for their overall safety but they wanted to be outside. We let them make the decisions of where to go next. Well, we let them think that. Eventually they would tire of smelling everything and rolling in dust and dirt and slowly lead us back home. That cat is probably loving all the people it meets this way rather than at home with no leash.
