23 Adorable Pets Who Can’t Wait for Their Owners to Return

When we shut our doors and leave our pets home alone, sometimes it takes a giant amount of imagination to think about what we’ll come home to. Our unpredictable pals can sometimes cause destruction, explore the house as if it was an investigation, and some just sleep all day... So when we see them waiting for us after our long days at work, it really shows the strength of love we have with our beloved animals, and they have for us too.

The compilation of pictures in this article demonstrates just how delightfully sweet these actions are and the Bright Side team simply couldn’t keep them from all of you!

15. “You’re back...I, uh...got you this present?”

16. “I’ll give these humans a piece of my mind when they find out the length of time they left me...15 minutes!”

17. “Comfy position? Check. Open window? Check. My favorite human? Not yet...”

18. “When you come home late and miss feeding time — this is how your cat will be waiting for you.”

19. “Stupid humans standing on their legs all day waiting...don’t they know we have these gifts called butts?”
