They live rent-free with butlers, drivers, chefs, personal shoppers, stylists, the works. They laze around, eat, sleep, play, poop and repeat with not a care in the world. Yet you're unlikely to ever hear a "thank you" from them, nor a "sorry" when they cause chaos and destruction.

Still, we love our pets... and they can do no wrong - even when they do. Instead of banishing them to the naughty corner, people have been 'shaming' their furkids online. And the pics are causing howls of laughter. Cats, dogs, rodents, birds and even goats have had their mugshots taken for all the world to see.

While many of us might be embarrassed to have our sins on public display, these guys and girls clearly couldn't care less... Bored Panda has put together a compilation of pets behaving badly and getting shamed for it online. By the time you're done scrolling, they'll likely be up to their next bout of mischief.

Our pets bring us so much joy but they also have the ability to drive us up the pole. Whether it's chewing our favorite pair of shoes, digging up the garden, making a mess of the kitchen, or eating the meal we'd just spent hours preparing for ourselves, there's no shortage of mischief for them to get up to.

Many of us laugh off the little sins our furkids commit, but the bigger ones might bring us to angry tears. Even then, experts say losing your temper is not the way to discipline an animal, and there are several reasons why...

    Put yourself in your dog or cat's paws. How do you feel when someone yells at you? Perhaps stressed, nervous, scared or angry?

    According to U.K.-based dog behavior specialists, Gooddoggie shouting at your pet can trigger the release of stress hormones, and in the case of canines, this causes the animal to be even more reactive to scary and/or stressful situations.

    "Our dogs don’t know how to count to 10, or take deep breaths, they can only react to how they are feeling at that moment," explains the site. "This means your dog is likely to become more defensive, display avoidance behaviors (such as that guilty look they sometimes do), or they might become more anxious."

    The experts add that behavior is emotion driven. And when your pet is already doing something unwanted, more emotion can only make the behaviour you are trying to stop, get worse.

    My ignorant cat managed to steal a tiny piece of chocolate sprinkled bread that dropped on the floor. Called the vet, who told me to keep a close eye on her. Cat didn't react on the chocolate at all. Did learn from the vet that the more pure chocolate is, the worse it is for pet. The milky sweet candybar kind of chocolate can cause the least trouble. To bad I'm a dark chocolate lover. Even wash my plate thoroughly now, after breakfast.
