28 Pets Who Hate Selfies but Still Look Very Cute

If you have a pet, you most likely already know that animals are free spirits and, most of the time, they refuse to follow our lead. As much as we love taking pictures with our lovable pets, they might be on a totally different page. Gordon Gallup says that there is no evidence that domestic animals can recognize themselves in the mirror and maybe that’s why they hate seeing a strange object, like a phone camera shoved in front of their faces. And their answer to that is simply to act grumpy and silly.

Bright Side collected a series of selfies where pets were absolutely unwilling to pose next to their human friends.

1. Cuteness is a state of mind.

2. It’s too early in the morning!

3. “I am going to keep ignoring you until you take away that camera.”

4. Let’s take a picture to remember the happy occasion!
