Let’s face it, it’s not always easy living with pets.
While we absolutely adore our fuzzy friends, there’s no denying that keeping domesticated animals in our home is not always for the feint of heart. No matter how well behaved your cat or dog might be, there are going to be times when they just can’t resist following those animal instincts!
1. This is Mr. Pugsley.
“One day he knocked over the trash can and ate the 2-day old remains of a smoked paprika roast chicken. We lived in terror of the cooked bones killing him until he turned the bathroom floor into a diarrheic Slough of Despond. He’s a good boy.”

5. “Ernestine Justice Shacklekitten the three-legged wondercat”
“[She] has split my lip on more than one occasion with her aggressive cuddling. ‘My cat gave me a fat lip’ is the fakest sounding excuse ever but i mean, look at this thug.”

6. Hardheaded Pup
“My Dog is a pit-greyhound mix. Thin body but his head is as hard as a rock. About a week after we adopted him, we were horsing around on the couch. The booger hit me in the face with the top if his head and broke my nose.”

7. I follow the food.
“There were bones from homemade Buffalo wings in the trash can. Sooo….this happened.”

“This beast insists on being on the dining table at all times and scoots as close as she can to our food while we eat. CanNOT get her to stop.”
