We all love our pets. Theyโre the animals that stick with us during all the big moments of our lives. They comfort us when weโre sad and always ready to celebrate when weโre happy. Basically, animals are the best gift the world could have given us.
Have you ever wondered how long weโve had pets? Archeological evidence shows that humans have been domesticating dogs for as long as 32,000 years. Cats came much later, around 12,000 years ago.
One of the things that make pets so special is they each have their own dynamic personality. Some people claim animals are all the same but if you have pets, you know thatโs not true. Some pets are friendly, some are shy, and some are playful. That diversity is one of the great things about being a pet owner.
The other thing you know if you have pets is theyโre weird. Yes, we love them and theyโre adorable. But theyโre also really weird. They do things we canโt explain, which sometimes drive us crazy. That makes us love them even more. How else could humans and animals been together for 32,000 years?
1. He found a loophole
This cat has a never-ending supply of food, so he should be happy, right? Cats arenโt exactly known for their grateful spirits, however. Heโd rather do this contortion act to get to the bigger food supply.

2. Peekaboo
This picture is so funny that you have to look at it twice. The dogโs shocked expression as he pops through the fur is hilarious. And where is that dogโs stomach?

3. Is that comfortable?
This cat fell into the cushions once by accident, then decided he liked it. Now itโs his favorite napping spot. His owner took the opportunity to snap a photo and laugh at him.

4. He just wants a drink, okay?
This Twitter user was shocked when she went to a bar and found a dog sitting on a barstool. Everyone else was acting like it was completely normal. I guess sometimes a dog just needs a place to relax at the end of a long day.

5. What the heck are you doing?
If you have no idea what this cat is trying to do, youโre not the only one. I think sheโs trying to get all the drips of water out of the faucet or sheโs working toward becoming a contortionist for the Cirque du Soleil.

6. When youโre not sure if your human is drowning
This dog owner just wanted to enjoy a nice, hot bath โ alone. However, the dog wanted to make sure his human was okay, so he climbed into the tub with him. And then he stared.

7. Donโt just stand there โ help me
Cats and dogs can have complicated relationships. No picture shows it more perfectly than this one, where each expression says a thousand words. Arenโt you glad the owner stopped to take a photo?

8. He knows a cool party trick
Letโs be honest โ if you could do this trick, youโd break it out at every party you went to. Now I have to come to terms with the fact that this dog is way cooler than me.

Tumblr/awwww! Cute!
9. You okay there, buddy?
I have so many questions about this dog. Is he trying to do parkour, open a portal, or is he just zoning out? Heโs probably zoning out, but you never know.

Reddit
10. Yes, heโs asleep
Cats are known for their ability to sleep in weird places, but this one takes the cake. Thereโs only thing funnier than this picture. Itโs the knowledge that this catโs nap probably ended in disaster.

Reddit/Vo1x
11. What the heck is happening?
Look, Iโll tolerate weird behavior from my pets, but this is on a whole new level. Is the dog sucking on its foot and staring into the distance? To quote Michael Scott: โNope, donโt like that.โ

12. *cue evil laugh*
I donโt know what this catโs doing, but heโs giving off some real Emperor Palpatine vibes. It mustโve something to do with the dark cloak and evil cackle combo.

13. The tension is too much to bear
Cats are known for being jerks, but this has gone too far. Itโs no wonder the picture evokes a certain Disney movie. At least there isnโt a stampede of wildebeest below.

14. Heโs been cuter
After going under anesthesia at the vet, this dog looked a little alarming. I canโt imagine that position is comfortable. But I suppose drugs make every position comfortable.

15. Talk about a crick in the neck
Cats are known for two things: napping and being flexible. This goofball is showing off both those traits. He looks pretty cozy though I canโt imagine how.

16. Can you get out?
This little guy managed to burrow himself so deeply into the couch cushions that he almost disappeared. I assume he can get out on his own. But someone should probably make sure heโs okay.

17. Itโs the latest yoga craze
While cats are incredibly flexible, this dog blows them all out of the water. We donโt know exactly what sheโs doing aside from being a total weirdo.

18. Itโs the same thing, basically
This dog was in the middle of a game of fetch with his owner when he lost track of the ball. But he was determined not to return empty-pawed. So, he came back carrying this huge root system.

19. Could you knock?
This person was trying to use a public restroom when they had a sudden intrusion. On the bright side, if anyone is going to bust into the bathroom stall, this is probably the best-case scenario.

20. Good thing heโs got his shower cap on
Most cats donโt like getting wet, but apparently, this oneโs the exception. He even has a little shower cap on so his fur doesnโt get wet, at least not on his head.

21. Whatever floats your boat
This dog is pretty cute, but this sight would be enough to make you jump. Iโm not sure which is creepier, the dog or that deer pillow.

22. A Broadway star in the making
Even the greatest stars have to start somewhere. In this catโs case, that โsomewhereโ is a lowly potted plant. I wonder if heโll be starring in โCatsโ one day.

23. So rude
Every dog thinks of themselves as a guard dog, no matter their size. Some of them bark at the mailman, some patrol the yard, and some chase squirrels. Then thereโs this guy who makes rude faces at unwelcome visitors.

24. PARKOUR
If youโve ever watched a parkour video, you know those people can literally climb up walls. This dog isnโt quite there yet. But judging by his expression, itโs not for a lack of trying.

25. I SAID, tuck me in
Itโs bedtime for this dog and that means one thing. Sheโll cry without ceasing until her owners stop what theyโre doing and tuck her in. She has to have her favorite pillow and blanket, of course.

26. We all wish we could experience love like this
This dog has a new doughnut pillow and sheโs in love with it. She wonโt let her owner take it off of her. โFrom now on, the doughnut is part of me, Susan. Do you understand?โ

28. Roasting the toes
This cat is warming her toes, and while she enjoys it, sheโs playing a dangerous game. Just a few more inches and those cute little beans will turn into flambรฉ.

29. This is probably how cats sit, right?
This cat looks like a human who was just transformed into a cat. Or maybe itโs an alien in a catsuit. Either way, this feline doesnโt know how to be a cat.

30. Iโm trying to read here
This cat looks exactly the same way I do when someone interrupts my reading. You might be weird cat, but I get you. Believe me, I get you.

They say youโre a product of your environment, which prompts a very important question. Whoโs been corrupting this poor dog? Hopefully, heโs not drinking straight from the bottle!

34. This dog thinks sheโs a cat
Have you ever heard of the trope of โbeing raised by wolvesโ? Well, this dog was raised by cats, which means she does all sorts of weird โcatโ stuff, like hiding in boxes.

35. โNo, YOU look awayโ
It looks like these two are having a staring contest, and thereโs no telling how long itโll last. That all depends on who has more willpower โ and whether the cat can reach his outdoor friend with his claws, of course.

36. Heโs less than thrilled about the birthday
Have you ever seen such an unenthusiastic reaction to a birthday party? To be fair, this is also my reaction when someone tries to sing โHappy Birthdayโ to me.

37. โYouโre being weird, Glennโ
Even animals that live together can have drastically different personalities. Here we see the dog with a silly sense of humor next to the normal dog. It could be a roommate sitcom.

38. Busted
This cat wasnโt about to let her owner leave without her. Fortunately, she was discovered before they made it to the airport. Itโs good news for her โ baggage handlers are not kind to luggage.

40. It all started with a smile
Weโre all familiar with the classic doggie smile, but this version is far less cute. Is it just me or does she look a lot like her owner?

41. So rude
When you drop food on the floor, your pets will automatically assume itโs fair game. This cat was just waiting to sneak a paw under the door and steal the Pop-Tart.

42. Targeting the dog in the cage
Cats and dogs are eternal enemies, but this cat is downright mean. He waited until the dog was in his kennel, then attacked him when he couldnโt get away. What a bully.

43. First kisses are always awkward
Trying to take photos of your pets can have adorable or hilarious results. You might just catch them in an awkward moment like these two dogs having a less-than-ideal first kiss.

44. You have a water bowl
Cats love to drink water whenever they can find it, whether the toilet, sink, shower, or apparently, the top of a car. In fact, theyโll drink from pretty much anywhere except their own bowl.

45. Deny, deny, deny
This dog is clearly guilty of destruction, but sheโs pleading the Fifth. As long as she pretends she canโt see it, she can never be convicted. Your Honor, that evidence is circumstantial.

46. What was he doingโฆweโll never know
Why do we find it so funny when cats get stuck in places they shouldnโt be? Probably because they try so hard to play it cool. โIโm not stuck; I like hanging in the window.โ

47. Siblings are all the same
If you grew up with a sibling, you know what itโs like. You love each other but at the same time, pound on one another. And of course, neither of you has any respect for the otherโs personal space.

53. Iโll stay with the snacks, thanks
This dog found a comfy spot and it doesnโt look like heโll be moving any time soon. Either heโs really hot or heโs hoping to have some alone time with all the food.

56. Big roar, little roar
Animals teach one another just like humans do. Adult dogs and cats teach their babies to play, hunt, eat, and more. If this picture is any indication, they also teach them to be really weird.
