9. He Was Done With the Conversation

Especially with regard to noise levels and overall messiness, living with pets sometimes involves tolerating their eccentricities and sporadic behavioural issues. Although appropriate training can help to solve these problems, many pet owners discover that their dogs seem to have chosen themselves as the unofficial town criers, alerting everyone to such urgent concerns such variations in wind direction or passing leaves. In this specific instance, a noisy pup tried to process his guilt in the most humorous way after being corrected for too aggressive barking. Presumably following the “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me” theory, his selected technique of self-imposed timeout was trying to hide by placing his nose beneath the refrigerator. The fact that his great weight makes this attempt at concealment more useless accentuates the ridiculousness of the circumstances. His big bulk and the small area he is trying to fit into produce a tableau that wonderfully illustrates the adorable logic of our dogs.
10. Don’t You Dare Take One Step Closer…

The veterinarian clinic stands for a required but sometimes hated part of good pet ownership. Although we know our dear animals depend on frequent check-ups and medical treatment, convincing them of this need presents a somewhat different difficulty. Like young children seeing a doctor, our animal friends often show amazing ingenuity in their attempts to evade medical attention. This specific cat showed their opposition to veterinary treatment in a wonderfully failed yet very funny way. The cat chose what they apparently thought to be a clever hiding place in the sink of the examination room instead of trying a bold escape from the clinic. Sadly for our feline companion, the glaring white porcelain sink turned out to be maybe one of the least efficient hiding places imaginable, resulting in a scene that aptly captures the often illogical but always interesting character of cat behaviour. This already funny scenario gains further comedy from the contrast between the cat’s deliberate attempt at concealment and the clear sight of their selected position.
