It all started when Twitter user @PaladinAmber shared some information about her cat with the Internet. โFor a couple days my cat had been showing signs of dying,โ she wrote. โNot drinking, not eating, sleeping and hiding.โ
So, as one owner would, she took her cat to the vet. Turns out the cat wasnโt dying, but it seemed like the animal got in a fight and lost. โHeโs depressed he lost, his vitals are fine,โ she said.
Surprisingly, this woman is not alone when it comes to thinking your pet is dying only to find that they are not dying in the slightest. Several users on Twitter responded to her tweet with their own hilarious stories. Here are some of the best responses.

If we know anything about parrots, itโs that they will mimick everything you do. Even if youโre coughing and sneezing up a storm.

Apparently, if the vet has a certain food that your pet really likes, they will play sick to go get more of it.

Just in case anyone was unsure if animals really do mourn or not, this person can confirm that according to their catโs actions, they most definitely do. Itโs sad, but then they will eventually seem happier, just like humans do!

16. How convenient
โMy cat would always start meowing & laying in the floor like he was in pain everytime I would put my work uniform on. One time I called off work to take him to the vet & I took my uniform off & he was suddenly fine so I knew what was up. Little brat.โ
