Unlike the piles of old newspapers he was accustomed to receiving from Mom, now all he gets are cute photos texted to him of his mom grinning next to a rubber duck.

Being a pet owner is a big commitment. For the entire life of some hapless critter–whether it's a dog, a cat, a bird, or a fish–you're responsible for taking care of your pet. After so many years, it's easy to grow so fond of an animal that it becomes a part of your family, which is why the cat lover in our next story was ready to fight tooth and nail for their rescue feline.

You can literally just name your pet anything, no one will stop you. You can't go naming your human baby “ Cool Ranch Dorito, ” but there are plenty of kittens out there who would love that name. That's part of the beauty of naming your pet: they have no idea what their name means. They probably respond to the inflection of your voice when you talk to them more so than responding to their actual name. Giving your pet a quirky name is a great conversation starter, especially for all the times yo…

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it. Lots of cats are this way: they'll solemnly knock glasses to the floor, zoom around your home knocking furniture over, or leave unsavory “gifts” for their owners to find.

Remember when local kids used to set up their lemonade shops' on the corner with ramshackle tables, styrofoam cups, mom's antique water pitchers, and the biggest tub of lemonade you've ever seen? Although there's much to question about the food safety involved when buying fruit juice from a child with marker all over their fingertips from making their poster-board signage, any adult with a heart feels the gravitational urge to buy a cup.

Rescue animals can sometimes choose their rescuer. As human beings, we like to maintain a semblance of control over our own lives, but when it comes to pet ownership, nobody is ever fully prepared for the unconditional love that comes along with animal adoption. However, that love can come as a surprise to those who aren't even looking for it.

These beings are so powerful. It can't even be explained.

How do cats know exactly where we don't want them to be? They're so skilled at picking their optimal nap spot, which is often your warm laptop keyboard or a fragile package.

Dogs don't care how they look, but their owners caught their silliest moments on camera . Animals love to lay in uncomfortable-looking positions. Why lay flat when you could touch your toes to your head while laying in a circle? Or better yet, why not stretch your neck out in an awkward position against the wall? Dogs spend lots of their time in a deep snooze, so there's plenty of time to work on perfecting their favorite sleeping position. These loving owners shared photos of their dogs' derpi…

In this world, there are some forces that are inexplicably strong . These are twenty quite powerful beings, from large fruits to powerful (and kind of frightening) animals. There really are some absolute units out there that we'd never know about without the power of the internet. Check out these powerful final bosses below. Then, this construction worker played a prank on his coworker — and it made the guy quit on the spot!

Even though your cat wants to think they're a fierce and unstoppable predator, sometimes the little guys need to be rescued by their owners (like the fuzzy babies they really are).

Here we have a whole zoo of animals who committed crimes, ranging from shoe theft to backyard hole-digging to scaring toddlers. Having pets is the best, even when they're naughty ! Pets become family when you adopt them. You suddenly find yourself becoming the person who puts sweaters on your dog and takes 1738739 photos, because you just love them SO MUCH. It's the reason we still love our kitty cats, even when they turn their noses up at the $7-per-can wet food that that was the only thing th…
