We all love our animals, but living with them is sometimes just as hard as having a second job or a baby. Destroyed carpets, broken shutters, stolen food, a habit of drawing all the attention to themselves, or ignoring you is just a short list of the things every pet owner is familiar with.

Bright Side has prepared a new compilation of photos proving that a pet is always a small catastrophe that we still love.

At least they are getting a new floor.
