50 Animals Who Decided To Destroy Something Just Because They Can And Got Caught Red-Handed
Pets are surely adorable, but sometimes they just have no gods or masters. They are kings and queens of the house and that means they can do whatever they want, including practicing their natural instincts such as scratching, digging, tearing, chewing, or marking their territory on your most cherished possessions. No matter how mad you might initially be at your little monster, no object can replace your loyal friend, so you just have to accept that this is what pets do, forgive, and train them so it doesn't happen again.
Have you ever caught your beloved furball chewing up your favorite couch, hanging on a curtain, eating all the plants on the way, destroying pillows, or cleaning up the fridge? Our readers sure did! Wonder Homie created a challenge and asked people to share pictures of their pets destroying something, and Bored Pandas delivered! They have submitted both hilarious and heartbreaking photos of their naughty pets caught red-handed and we've compiled an even bigger list of the best (or the worst?) destructive pets.
Make sure to upvote the photos you like the most and tell us in the comments what your furry friends have destroyed in your house!

So long my loved futon.

I Needed New Chaps Actually
Our Corgi mix and Heinz 57 have been cohorts of disaster previously, usually keeping the carnage to underwear and socks with the occasional shoe. Fun times ensued when I came home from a 20 minute (max) errand in August. Apparently the leg of these jeans must have been hanging just far enough for the Corgi to yank them out of the hamper.
He is known for redecorating with folded hand towels and bath mats, his prime target, however, is usually my husbands gym bag and work boots. The Mutt is known for eating panties and shoes, this must have been the chocolate bar at the all you can eat cruise ship buffet and just too good for her to pass up.
When I emailed the photo to my vet, the one word response?
“Impressive!”. If you have pets, you know that for your vet to say that in regards to something your dogs have done that you have a pretty damn noteworthy incidence of sh*t my dogs ruined.

What do you think ?

I'm surprised there's no pet rats here. Those guys are absolute masters of destroying things. Give them a nice fleecy hammock to sleep in and within five minutes they'll have shredded the lining and bitten through the supports. Leave anything hanging too close to the cage and it WILL be grabbed, pulled through the bars, and chewed to shreds. Mine managed to rip the tail off my hanging fox pelt and hauled it into their nest so they could sleep on it. At least they were comfy.
