Pawsome Moments: Why Pet Parents Can't Stop Smiling

What makes pet parenthood all worthwhile are the genuine, unplanned moments. These pictures illustrate the core of why we name them family from the ridiculous faces they create when caught in the act of mischief to the pure affection in their eyes during treat time. They are there for the good times as well as the bad; they transform everyday events into adventures and provide amusement to even the most routine activities. These pictures show that occasionally the finest therapy consists in four paws and lots of fur.

1.Hanging On For Dear Life

In this odd and funny scenario, we see a cat acting what could only be called as an unnecessarily dramatic play. The feline has ingeniously positioned itself hanging from a pantry shelf to create an interesting and confusing scene. Given cats' known ability to fall safely from far higher heights, the tiny drop in this scenario makes this particularly funny. Still, this dramatic kitten is clinging to the shelf edge as though it were descending a thousand-foot hill into a sink. The fact that the shelf only features some basic condiments and sauce packets adds even more comic value. This begs the issue of what inspired our cat companion to initially try this acrobatic feat. Maybe there's some secret treasure we can't see that makes this unstable position worthwhile, or perhaps it's just another instance of cats' odd behaviour. Either way, it's the ideal portrayal of the kind of daily drama cats bring into our life.
