Although we’re all going through the pandemic together, it sometimes feels as though it’s one person against the world. On top of that are all of the things you deal with daily as part of normal life. You know, flat tires, a nasty breakup, running late to work, and so on.

Believe it or not, animals have bad days, too. Although different from what humans’ experience, in their world, they’re still struggles. This includes the squirrel who can’t reach the bird food, the cat that got stuck in a tree, or the dog that fell flat on its face chasing the cat that was chasing the squirrel.

As you’re about to discover, critters of all kinds have off days. While we feel bad for them, they make us laugh. Enjoy these 60 animals that had a worse day than you.

1. One unhappy kitty

This is Sarah, the dog, and Stella, the cat. While they usually get along just fine, when Sarah stole a piece of Stella’s food, she wasn’t very happy about it. So, she ran into the kitchen to tattletale.

2. Is anyone home?

If you’ve had a dog run away, you know how frustrating and frightening it is. That’s what happened in this case. This pup’s owner searched for hours but to no avail. Returning home, this was what she found.

3. One or the other

With fireworks going off outside, this large dog ended up in the bathtub with his human. Either the sound scared him or he simply wanted to enjoy a relaxing bath with the person he loves most.

4. Talk about having a bad day

Not only did this poor dog break its leg but it also appears she was stung by a bee or wasp. Perhaps the owner should give her ice cream. After all, ice cream makes everything better.

5. Oops…wrong product

Since this pooch was kind of dirty, her owner decided to give her a bath. The only problem…instead of grabbing shampoo, they reached for a bottle of blue dye. Hopefully, it won’t take too long to wash out because she looks embarrassed.

6. That didn’t go as planned

Apparently, this pup was playing outside and decided to investigate a hole. But he didn’t expect it to be as deep or muddy as it was. Thankfully, his owner got him out.

7. Sweet memorial

An undergraduate class was so impressed with what this squirrel did, they paid to have a statue made in his likeness. What did he do? He chewed through wiring that forced the school to suspend classes for two days.

8. Help…Mommy

This is the look of a dog that just discovered something. He’s not the biggest and toughest pup at the dog park after all. What do you want to bet he’s had a complete change of attitude?

9. Look at him go

One look at that massive moose behind him and this pup ran faster and jumped higher than he knew he could. Yeah, if that beast was following us, we’d probably respond the same way.

10. Those darn bees

Why are they always picking on the little ones? This poor pup will probably have nightmares for the rest of his life. Maybe he and the other pooch can share some ice cream.

11. How in the heck?

You know the saying, “Curiosity killed the cat.” Maybe they should come up with something similar for a dog. How she got stuck in the chair like this remains a mystery. Perhaps she learned a lesson…probably not.

12. Feeling just fine

After getting into cookies made with marijuana, this dog isn’t feeling any pain. On the other hand, the owner spent a fortune at the vet. Even worse, they had to admit what happened.

13. The case of the missing house

Wouldn’t it be horrible if you came home only to discover your house was missing? That’s what happened to this poor squirrel. At least the homeowner felt bad although that’s little consolation.

14. Follow the evidence

Yeah, we’d say there’s a strong chance a squirrel fell off the roof. Fortunately, it appears it got up and scurried off. Whew, that was close to being its last bad day.

15. Crime of the century

We thought a squirrel falling off a roof was bad but this is even worse. The owner of this sweet dog refused to give him her last bite of cheeseburger. Unbelievable.

16. Here’s the proof

For some time, a woman had been telling her boyfriend that his cat was picking on her kitty. He didn’t believe her until she showed him proof. Bullying, even among animals, is never okay.

17. Someone fix it, now

In case you didn’t know, goats love jumping on things. That includes mini-trampolines. So, when his broke, he demanded that someone fix it or find him another one.

18. That’s what you do?

Inside home security cameras are great. Not only can you see if someone breaks into your house but if you have pets, you can also keep tabs on them. This owner found out that one of her pups had a worse day than the other.

19. Poopy circle

After returning home, the owner of this turtle found him this way…inside a circle of poop. From what he could tell, this guy got some of it stuck on his foot and while trying to scrape it off, this happened. By the way, the turtle is fine.

20. The spying duck

It appears this duck was trying to peek through the neighbor’s fence when he got stuck. Okay, sorry, but this is funny. Like the turtle, this sweet critter was just fine after being rescued.

21. Yummy…not

This cat couldn’t resist the delicious food on the countertop. But once she discovered it was nothing more than a photo of food on a cardboard box, let’s just say she wasn’t in a very good mood the rest of the day.

22. “He made me do it”

After following the family cat through an upstairs door and out onto the roof, this pup was traumatized. So, his owner had to go up there to coax him down. But now, he’s not speaking to the kitty.

23. She can’t move

Even though this cat looks to be a little overweight, there was no reason she couldn’t figure her way out of this mess. But for whatever reason, she had to be rescued. Perhaps she was just faking as a way of getting attention.

24. Nothing special going on here

Nope, it’s just a cat chasing a bear off the owner’s property. In Montana, this is almost a daily occurrence. The kitty was having a great day — the bear — not so much.

25. You’ve got to be kidding

When doing a deep clean one day, this cat’s owner discovered he likes to hoard bottle caps. She showed him the mess he made, which was bad. But then she threw them all away, which was disastrous.

26. Just watching TV

That’s what this precious puppy wants everyone to think. But in truth, he was stuck so tightly between the couch cushions, he couldn’t move.

27. Highly talented

This dog’s owner is confused, as are the other two dogs. While no one knows how he got up there, it’s obvious he needs help getting down. This is when inside cameras come in handy.

28. Stumped

This poor pup couldn’t figure out why every time he tried to walk, something held him back. We hate to say it but some dogs are smarter than others. This one falls in the “others” category.

29. Looking for lunch

When it comes to searching for food, raccoons are notorious for getting into trash cans. And in this case, a recycling bin. He was so stuck that animal control had to come rescue him…without getting anything to eat.

30. That’s not my dog

A woman left her white dog with a friend while she ran errands. But when she came back, there was a gray dog in his place. Hopefully, a good bath will return her baby to his original state before he played in a bag of charcoal.

31. A precarious situation

That kitty isn’t hanging onto the screen. Instead, he’s stuck in between the screen and the sliding glass door. Even if he was only there for a short amount of time, that qualifies as having a bad day.

32. Hello?

Birds make great pets. They’re funny, loving, and incredibly smart. Yet somehow, this one got stuck inside the bathroom. So, he’s peeking under the door hoping someone notices.

33. She lost it

Most people think only dogs get hyper. But cats are no different. This one was going so crazy that her owner had to put her in the kennel for a “time out.” While in there, she totally lost it.

34. Zoning out

nv

When taking this gorgeous cat to get neutered, he started to stare off into space. Although he couldn’t have known what was about to happen, he sensed something was off and his face shows it.

35. Too close for comfort

The smell of bacon drew this cat too close to the stove and this was the result. Luckily, it was only his whiskers and pride that were singed. Things could’ve been far worse.

36. An Egyptian cat

At first, this cat looks quite regal with that golden adornment around her neck. But then you realize that’s actually the top of a broken vase. Her head’s stuck so off to the vet they go.

37. The world’s tiniest fracture

This hamster also went to a veterinarian clinic after breaking its leg. Since it was so small, the vet had to come up with a unique cast. We just want to cuddle with this sweet creature and tell her everything will be okay.

38. Home alone

PSA — if you own a Dalmatian, don’t leave it home alone with the kids. If you do, connect the dots will become their favorite new game. And they’ll probably use colored markers.

39. Busted

At least while eating the frozen fish fillets, this pup was having a great day. But once his owner found his head stuck inside the box, things quickly went from good to bad. The look of guilt on his face is hilarious.

40. Don’t want to leave

This Boxer was having a blast at the dog park until it started to rain. That’s when his owner said it was time to go home. By the look on his face, he wasn’t having fun anymore.

41. A meowing couch

If you ever buy anything off Craig’s List, you need to check it out thoroughly. After all, you’re dealing with strangers. But if you purchase a couch with a cat inside, that might be a nice bonus. We wonder if the sellers realize their kitty is missing.
