When you have a kitty or a doggo, you’re almost sure there’s something special waiting for you at home. A pup that’s terrified when he sees you in a bath for the first time, a cat that won’t stop walking on its hind legs, and a dog that’s just crazy about... fresh carrots. They all have their own quirks, and we love them even more when we discover yet another one.
Here at Bright Side, we laughed until we cried while looking at these funny photos, and now we want you to get your daily dose of laughter too.
1. “This woman was walking around NYC with this label on her shoe.”
2. “Karen, I’m concerned, are you aware water CAN KILL YOU!?”
3. “Trained my cat to stand up. Now she won’t stop.”
4. “My name’s Mookie. I hide in mom’s purse when I’m nervous.”
5. “My dog has loose lips that get stuck on his gums after he yawns.”
6. The best way to spend time in a traffic jam
7. “So... I recently discovered my dog likes carrots.”
8. “I cannot take her seriously when she looks like this.”
9. “Me with our dog and my wife with our cat”
10. “Somebody said black cats are hard to photograph for social media. Well, meet Thor.”
11. “She thinks it’s her job to pull rocks out of the lake. The big one weighs 14 lb.”
12. When you let your white dog out after you mow the lawn:
13. “The way my cat decided to sit down”
14. “The face he makes when he knows he’s in trouble... every time!”
15. “When my cat gets spooked by a sound in the next room:”
16. “I put my inside cat outside and walked out to this 5 minutes later.”
17. Oh well... Looks like he’s comfortable...
18. “Delighted to have some uninterrupted downtime with a good book...”
19. “My cat escaped. Found her the next day outside my son’s bedroom window.”
20. “Finally got a picture of my cat looking at the camera.”
