61 Adorably goofy animals that are guaranteed to light up your day

Everyone has a rough day they have to get through from time to time. Sometimes, people even have to endure a rough week or month. And, it just so happens, all of us just barreled through an exceedingly rough year.

While there’s not a lot you can do about things outside the realm of your control, one thing you can do is look for ways to turn your day around.

Fortunately, it turns out that there’s nothing like looking at goofy pets to flip those days around, and that happens to be entirely in your control- and we’re here to help! These pets are exceptionally adorable and hilarious. Just try not to laugh!

1) Who’s The Boss Now?

More often than not, cats are the spoiled, bossy ones. But in this case, this sophisticated dog stole the show. He took over the cat’s climbing tree and doesn’t care one bit if the cat cares about it.

2) Mirror Their Owner

They say that most people get pets that look like them without even trying. Well, it looks like it’s true in this case. These two have the same smile. While the cat doesn’t smile all that often, I have a feeling her human does.

3) That’s A Big Mushroom

Imagine being this derp. She is hilarious but don’t worry, she’s always like that, she didn’t eat the mushroom. In most cases, a picture of a giant mushroom would be the showcase, but the derpy dog is too funny not to look at.

4) So Symmetrical

These two have symmetry and chemistry. They love to cuddle and have found the ultimate way to nap on the farm. Dog underneath for stability and cat on top for coziness. Learn from their friendship.

5) Well, Well, Well, Human

This human is so afraid of his cat that he took a picture of him plotting his own murder. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear a news story about this cat in the near future, let’s hope it’s a good one.

6) Photoshop Battle This

This was an original photo in a photoshop battle and it would be hard to beat it. In fact, out of all of the participating photos, the original is indeed the best. Look at their faces! Do they love the snow or hate it?

7) Risky Business

So, this sign is rightfully places because this dog looks viscious. Although it doesn’t say anything about an aggressive dog. Just a dog. One that gets stuck in the cat door yet keeps going through it.

8) There Was A Moth

That simple phrase explains the picture well. There was a moth in the kitchen and everyone in the house was fascinated by it. The man, the cats, the dog, and the woman taking the picture.

9) Silliest Of Friends

If you have a friendship like this, then you’re one of the lucky ones. If you’re having a bad day, having a friend to empathize yet bring you out of it is one of God’s greatest gifts. Cherish them.

10) Where Would You Put Him?

Here’s another photoshop battle that can have hilarious results. Where would you put this pudgy little guy who looks like he just ate all the bacon. It was tasty. Will he be on the moon? McDonald’s?

11) Tetris Cat

Yep, you guessed it, this at is amazing at Tetris and cat turn into blocks himself. If the cushions were a little fluffier, he’d disappear behind them. He’s also be good at the spider climb.

12) That’s My Son

Like mother, like son. Can you tell which one is the mom and which one is the son? They look so much alike, it’s hard to tell the difference. But at least they are both as adorable as can be.

13) Please, Scar, Help Me

Look at this little cosplayer who is pretending to be Mufasa again. That makes his owner Scar. Don’t you hate it when the kids force you to be the villain every time. In real life and when playing.

14) He Looks So Guilty

This dude noticed someone tried to hack into his phone but soon found out it was his cat all along. Leave it to a photo ID to ruin a cat’s whole career. Now what’s he going to do with his life?

15) Frank, What The Heck?

If you can’t beat them, join them. This guy thought his friend was crazy at first but it turns out, he knows what’s up. Who knew puffing out your chest and staring at the trees could be so amusing?

16) That Was Scary

This dog graduated intermediate training school and he looks terrified. He did a good job but it wasn’t easy. Now, do you think he can handle advanced training school or should we let him drop out?

17) Wanna Say That To My Face?

This lizard isn’t afraid of anyone or anything. He will face anyone who has something to say about him or his family. If he were any bigger, he’d be intimidating, but he’d say not to let his size fool you.

18) That’s A Nice Burrito

There’s something wrong with thus burrito, it’s looking at me funny. Have you ever seen such a derpy dog that didn’t eat a mushroom? He’s so tiny he can fit in a sock and thinks it’s the funniest thing ever.

19) Mom Said To Play A Three-Player Game

I’m not sure if this dog is the little brother complaining about the unfair game or if he wanted a bowl with a straw in it. Either way, he’s an adorable angel and he should probably get his way.

20) The Other Side

From the outside, this looks like a friendly game of tug-o-war. But from the inside, it’s a fierce battle that only one can win. Who will reign victorious and who will let go of success? I’m betting on the dog.

21) That Was Hilarious

Are these seals super happy or are they freaking out over that device on Bob’s head? It’s hard to tell with seal expressions and it makes you wonder if they think the same thing about us.

22) Who Needs Filtered Water?

This cat has twice filtered fresh water in his own bowl at all times. Yet he chooses to dump the plants and drink their water. Always wanting someone else’s food, that’s the problem with pets.

23) The Life Of Brothers

There’s always one brother ruining pictures with a goofy grin and another ruining it with an overly solemn expression. But to their parents, both faces are perfect in every way. What a pair!

24) Can You Believe That?

Have you heard the latest gossip around the zoo because this panda has? He has all of the secrets and you are going to be blown away by what Sally was heard doing last Tuesday. And with the Grizzlies too!

25) I Always Eat Like This

Surely he doesn’t. But even doing it just once is a strange occurrence. For some reason, the cat doesn’t like his paws touching the ground while he eats and now it makes me want to keep mine up too.

26) They Call Him Long John

This cat is sunbathing on the porch and it looks like he is melting. Either that or he’s a contortionist who cat stretch out to five times his own size. Yeah, this cat is probably as big as your palm and is just stretchy.

27) That Otter Do It

This guy is so adorable that you can’t look at him and not smile. You know you want to so just give into the love he is offering and enjoy life for a minute. Be even half as happy as he is.

28) She’s Okay, Guys

She may look like she’s suffering but for some reason she just always does that when she gets picked up. She’s a weirdo but at least she’s happy, even if she doesn’t look like it. Surely she loves hugs, right?

29) Did You Guys See That?

This turtle has had quite a life. I don’t know what he’s seen but you know it was intense because his expression says it all. You never think about turtles…well, thinking. But this guy definitely has some crazy thoughts.

30) He Still Loves You

He may not be able to see you, but know that he still loves you. He’s not crazy, he just doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about him and his feelings. Anyone who doesn’t love him in return is the crazy one.

31) That’s Quarantine For You

This cat and the neighbor’s dog probably play a lot together because all quarantine, they stared at each other through the windows. Perhaps there really was nothing better to do than stare at your neighbor.

32) Hurry Before They Notice

Not sure if this is his doggy birthday or he’s stealing a cupcake. Either way, he probably thinks he’s stealing a birthday cake from the humans and that rush is what he wanted for his own birthday.

33) He Wants To Be A Cat

Look how sad this German Shepherd looks when the cat tells him that she can’t climb on the woodpile. She thinks she would make a fine cat but her cat buddy begs to differ. Let her be who she wants to be.

34) Like My Lizardtee?

This cat doesn’t look at that upset that she has a lizard hanging from her lip. Perhaps it’s a fashion statement and she’s way ahead of her time. Or she doesn’t know how to ask for help and is screaming on the inside.

35) That’s Not A Dog

It looks like someone brought a bear to doggy daycare and that’s just not acceptable. Although he’s so well-behaved that even if he is a bear, they can’t turn him away, he’s too sweet and cuddly.

36) No Pictures!

Either this cat hates having her picture taken or she is really bad at hide-and-seek. Either way, we don’t get to see her face so we’ll call that a fail. She is such a pretty thing, but even like this, it’s cute.

37) His Two Pals

His dog is like, whatever, the entire road trip. But his cat is freaked out. This is about how it goes no matter who you take. There’s always one paranoid friend and one who doesn’t even say they need to go to the bathroom.

38) I Can’t Even Get It Out

This dude looks like he is laughing so hard that he can’t get the punchline out and finish his joke. He is a funny guy but he can’t be a comedian because he’ll never finish his skit. Bummer.

39) Are Those WhICEskers?

This seal has a big problem. His whiskers are frozen! It’s a good thing he has friends to thaw them for him because although it’s cute, it really weighs him down. Man, imagine it being that cold again!

40) Oh My Goodness!

His name is Franco and he stole his owner’s girlfriend but who can complain? Who wouldn’t fall for those bright eyes and passionate smile? He’s a charmer and his girlfriend is never going back.

41) Everyone Right Now

If you can’t relate to this owl then you’re not stressed enough about what’s going on in the world. At least wake up like this and you can have empathy for this poor owl who can’t get enough sleep.

42) Still Loading

Either the lighting in this room is off or this cat hasn’t been unlocked yet. It sure looks like a special one, I can’t wait to earn enough points to unlock it. But don’t worry, we can still love the other ones when it happens.

43) You Need Help?

Dogs are probably the worst social distancers in the world. This pupper doesn’t understand and his owner can’t do anything with him. Guess we’ll have to risk it and cuddle instead of work.

44) His Owner Is So Lucky

This hairless cat is a jewel. Probably a very expensive one at that. But his owner couldn’t be more pleased because he’s the sweetest little guy you’ve ever met. Look at those eyes and tell me he’s not perfect.

45) Stack-Ems

These two are best friends. They even have similar coloring and look adorable together. Look at how proud the Husky is of his little kitty friend and how happy the kitty is to be with his doggy friend.

46) He Sorry, Mama

This is better than any Assassin’s Creed weapon you can find. Not only will he surprise your foes but will be so cute that they will totally be distracted. Just watch out for the recoil, he is feisty.

47) He’s Good Luck

His name is Winston and he looks like the luckiest cat in the world. Not that he is particularly fortunate but he definitely brings good luck to all who pet him. Show me to him, I need the luck.

48) I Hungy

It looks like this sweet puppy is hungry but he actually fell asleep trying to escape. He is brand new to this world so he doesn’t know what’s safe and what isn’t. Poor little guy is tuckered out.

49) Attack Or Defense?

I’m not sure if this cat is afraid and ready to hide away or ready to pounce. Either way, her eyes are ginormous and intimidating. But I still want to cuddle her up and make sure she feels calm.

50) She Knows He’s Scared

This dog is scared of the cat and the cat knows it. However, she does have a protectiveness in her eyes. As if she believes she’s the only one who should be allowed to torment him. More power to her.

51) Just One More, Babe

This looks like it perfectly describes most couples and their view on selfies. But according to this dog owner, it describes the personalities of the dogs in the photos. I love them both so much already.

52) This Is Cosplay

This isn’t just cosplay, it’s the best cosplay I’ve seen to date. He got the expression spot on and the coloring is even better than the original. Cosplaying a banana is no easy task but he nailed it.

53) So This Is Rain

This cat wanted to go outside despite her owner’s insisting that she stay in. Whenever he gave in and let her out, she regretted it for she did not now what rain was. Cats never listen to anyone.

54) There’s Two

Believe it or not, but there’s two animals in this picture. The chocolate lab is obvious but it turns out he has a willing feline friend who likes to cuddle. But I think the dog likes it a little more.

55) Happy Fourteenth

When this guy was eleven years old, his owner adopted him. Which is super sweet! But this photo was taken on the dog’s fourteenth birthday and he’s still kicking. He wants all the life he can get and he’s gonna live it well.

56) Just Like The Cat

No, it wasn’t his initial idea. But when he saw the cat do it, he thought, “hey, that looks comfy,” and now he does it all the time. This is what happens when you have dogs and cats together.

57) Well, That’s A Head Scratcher

First of all, that’s not a sofa, so maybe that’s why the dog misunderstood and is sitting on it. Maybe he thought it meant not to sit on the sofa. Or he just doesn’t care about rules because that’s what it looks like.

58) What Do You See?

This guy was nonchalantly drinking coffee and staring out the window when his cats jumped him. They wanted in on the action and we’re sure there was a huge dog or other threat out there.

59) Testing: Three, Two, One

This little pupper likes the taste of friendship and destests hostility. So he tastes all of his new friends and acquaintances to make sure they are kind. It’s not a bad plan and it’s a great superpower.

60) Try Not To Smile

If there was one animal that was going to make you smile, it would be this guy. It’s called a quokka, and it is native to Australia. He is a silly guy that is always full of smiles and hugs. Who doesn’t need a friend like that?

61) What Is Life?

This shows the two faces of cats. They are either super goofy or contemplating their heinous plans and empty existences. I mean, a lot of people can relate to these two moods and probably have cats.
