Life with pets is rarely simple and never boring. They’ll make a mess and patiently wait until you clean it up and tomorrow they’ll fall asleep right on the pile of towels you just took out of the wash.

Bright Side wants to reveal how difficult yet happy a pet owner’s life can be.

1. “Privacy? Never heard of it.”

3. “Caught him mid-scratch — looks like he’s posing!”

4. 12 weeks apart

6. “Yes, she’s sitting on a cat. No, she’s not very smart.”

7. “Oops, I did it again.”

8. “I think my dog is overly attached.”

9. “Lucy is staying with her grandparents this week and seems to be doing okay so far.”

10. “That was a fresh roll, you cute little friend.”

11. “After a walk in the rain, completely soaked, she decided it was a good idea to jump up onto my sister’s bed.”

13. “Isn’t he perfect?”

14. “Nice towels you got here…”
