This story about a dad who ordered a box of crickets for the family's pet lizard, never gets old. Apparently, dad assumed that the crickets arrived in a box, sealed off, and not susceptible to breaking free to get absolutely everywhere. Dad was very wrong. His assumption resulted in just the kind of chaos that folks can get a kick out of. I mean, at least the cats experienced a dreamy day of wonderful play.

If you've ever seen a cat look at you with longing or desperate hatred in its eyes for the simple act of not petting it so much or only feeding it as much as usual, you'll get what this Tumblr thread is on about. Here are some Tumblr comedy gems to keep the day moving, as well as more nuggets of gold from Tumblr's busy brains.
We all go about conversations with animals a little differently, but the general trend is that the closer you are to a cute animal, the less sense you're gonna make . We don't know what comes over us. It's all "who's a good boy" this and "hello little buddy" that. For adorable things, here are some wholesome memes to restore some sanity. Tumblr users like animals, and even go as far as to make the case for coconuts as mammals.
If it didn't seem obvious before why kids need to be taught not to screw around with animals, this thread goes into a lot of detail as to why nobody wins when a kid angers a pet. A dog can't exactly say "quit poking me in the eye" without seeing a bit threatening. For some lighter stuff, here are professional dogs who take their work seriously as well as sleeping dogs in silly positions.
Your garden variety "Beware of Dog" sign brings to mind an almost cartoonishly ferocious hurricane of spit and teeth, and the animals behind these signs don't seem to fit the bill. Some of these you wouldn't be surprised to find sleeping in silly positions. For some dogs who have more of a sense of what's going on, here are professional good dogs who take their work seriously.
It's extremely satisfying to think about our pets having distinctive personalities, and animals with peculiar facial hair make them even more distinctive. Here are some cats with mustaches, a few goatees, some dogs with beards and a monkey with a fu man chu. Here's an informal history of how cats became domesticated, or just a silly post about a peculiar cat that likes being in the fridge.
These good dogs have important responsibilities like finding things and calming people down. These dogs are the answer to the question "who's responsible? Oh boy, who's responsible?" For more dogs, here are tired dogs in awkward sleeping positions and stuck dogs who need a hand.
Well isn't this the most pure act of loving, emotional distress that you've ever seen? Apparently dad couldn't keep track of his daughter's hamster, and proceeded to have a bit of a breakdown over the matter. Fortunately, as things unfold he's able to get the hamster to return home. Thank goodness. Crisis averted for dad this time around!
They say let sleeping dogs lie, but that might lead to back problems. We've seen dogs do some amazing things, and being able to turn into tired goop on a couch is now one of those things. Some of the physics her makes no sense, but we're here for it. Dogs can get themselves in some precarious situations, like these stuck dogs that need a hand.

The amount of time spent editing and creating a set for this whole thing looks like it was well worth it. The Geckoator looks to be like a new modern epic. They made a scale colosseum! There's a soundtrack!
We can't think of a worse pet sitting situation out there. This lady doesn't even promise the small amount of money she offers, deliberately withholds information about the dog's condition until after the sitter would have agreed, and then calls her weak for not wanting to totally derail her life for a hundred bucks. Absolutely phenomenal. We've seen people make insane lists of rules before, like this bride's friend who made a list for a bachelorette party.
