Do you have a pet at home? Pets bring so much joy to our lives!
There’s nothing more fun than when your dog or cat behaves like they’re just another human.
This is an example of anthropomorphism which is defined as “the attribution of human characteristics, emotions, and behaviors to animals or other non-human things (including objects, plants, and supernatural beings).”
Have a look at these 65 pets acting like people that will surely make you smile!
1. One of the boys
This dog is way too chill. He looks so comfortable on that couch. I wonder if he’s the one holding the remote or the one demanding beer. We’ll never know.
2. When you’re on a diet
After finishing his meal, this cat felt instantly regretful. He ate too fast and now, he can’t ask for another serving because he’s on a diet.
3. Feeling sassy
This is probably the cutest thing you’ll see all day- a puppy napping under the sun wearing a pink bikini! This sassy girl clearly knows how to live life.
4. Bad habit
This bird knows that smoking is bad, but he simply can’t let go of his habit. He probably thinks he’s cool.
5. Reading
Not all cats spend their entire day sleeping and being lazy. This one takes studying seriously. He’s so good at it that he’s reading sideways.
6. The attitude
This dog is clearly living life. His human doesn’t just take him out for walks. Instead, he takes him out for a ride and they do it in style.
7. Partners in crime
This duo takes the cat-human bond to a different level. Whatever they are planning, you clearly wouldn’t want to know.
8. Like two peas in a pod
This is probably one of the most adorable best friend pictures out there. See the way that cat is looking at her human? It’s so cute!
9. Playing battleships
Not everyone’s good at playing this game. And judging how the board looks, it seems that the cat is winning.
10. Micromanaging
We’ve all had that one supervisor who’s always watching what we do at work. And like that supervisor, this cat seems to enjoy scrutinizing his human’s work.
11. Hooked
This cat found an interesting video online and it doesn’t look like he’ll stop watching any time soon. He’s looking at that screen like he’s looking at food.
12. Something interesting
Have you ever seen a cat stand this way by the door? He must be watching something really interesting. He’s so into it that he doesn’t care how odd he looks.
13. Taking a selfie
It looks like humans aren’t the only ones who like taking pictures of themselves. Judging by the camera’s angle, this cat is definitely a pro at taking selfies.
14. When you need to wake up early
I find this look quite familiar. It’s the same expression I have whenever I try to sleep early but end up staring at the ceiling until 3 o’clock in the morning.
15. A day at the park
This cat looks unenthusiastic about going to the park. He looks like someone who’s thinking about all the poor choices he made in life.
16. His wine
This is the exact thing I would do if I see someone showing interest in my glass of wine. It’s mine and no one else can touch it.
17. What is he doing?
If you’re feeling confused about what this cat is doing, you’re not the only one. It looks like he’s yawning and throwing tantrums at the same time.
18. Playing solitaire
If you think all cats spend their entire day sleeping- think again. This cat prefers to play solitaire to kill time and it looks like he’s really good at it.
19. Just relaxing
Even cats need some time to unwind and relax and this cat clearly knows the best place to do that. I’m seriously feeling so envious right now.
20. Being very careful
If you’ve ever experienced coming home later than you’re supposed to, you’ll find this cat totally relatable. He looks like he’s way too scared to make a sound.
21. Waiting for lunch
This is probably the most patient bear you’ll see. He’s not throwing a fit or acting aggressively even though his lunch is late.
22. The boss
Most dogs are excited about going on a car ride. This dog, however, considers it as a really serious business. Too bad that his driver doesn’t feel the same way.
23. Pretending to be sick
This dog just wanted to stay in bed all day. However, his human wanted to make sure he was getting enough exercise, so he insisted that he get out of bed at once. It was hard to tell who was winning the argument.
24. Driving to Walmart
I had to take a closer look at this photo to make sure I’m seeing what I’m seeing. Yes, that’s clearly a dog and he’s behind the steering wheel. He appeared to be driving to Walmart that day.
25. Not so happy
Celebrating another birthday means getting a year older. This cat is clearly not happy with that. Well, if you think about retirement and what you’ll do at that point, you wouldn’t be able to blame him.
26. Taking the mandatory birthday photo
Is this dog really happy about his birthday party? Or does he look like someone stopped him from eating and forced him to smile for the camera? I guess it was the latter.
27. Staying active
I admire the commitment of this kitten to stay fit and strong. He’s doing pull-ups to make sure his legs become strong.
28. Opening an account
These two dogs took a trip to a nearby bank. They are demanding to see the manager so that they could open an account. They surely got their priorities right!
29. Glaring at people
Cats are known for being moody, but this one is extra grumpy. It looks like the cat woke up on the wrong side of the bed or he hasn’t eaten yet.
30. Not too happy about the color
His favorite color is orange, but his human dressed him up in blue. He’s clearly not impressed.
31. Owning the bed
Even if you found this dog lying on your bed and taking up all the space, I bet you wouldn’t be able to get mad at him. Just look how adorable he looks.
32. Learning
Life is full of challenges and if you aren’t prepared, you’ll have a hard time living your best life. So, take it from this dog and consider reading his favorite book.
33. Showing who’s boss
This dog thinks that he’s way too cool to sit down and wait for his food like his two brothers. Although the way he’s standing up looks impressive, I got to say that it’s quite creepy. I wonder if he also walks upright.
34. Sharing lunch
Being the best of friends means sharing lunch. The cat gets to eat what his human eats.
35. Watching Netflix together
This cat looks exactly the same way I do whenever I’m watching a movie. He’s so absorbed that he doesn’t care how weird he looks.
36. Just chilling
This dog doesn’t like hanging out with the other dog. He thinks he’s human so he only spends time with his owner. See the way he isolates the other dog?
37. A cup of coffee
Drinking a hot cup of coffee is most people’s way of starting their day and it looks like it’s the same for this dog. On a serious note, however, I hope that this dog isn’t drinking too much coffee because it can be toxic for him.
38. Getting snacks for the dog
This is one reliable bird. If you’re not always at home, you won’t worry about the dogs starving. He seems to enjoy feeding them.
39. Getting married
Humans aren’t the only ones capable of loving. And as it turns out, we’re not the only ones who want marriage, too. Congratulations to this cute couple and their really adorable puppies!
40. Fixing the toilet
Unclogging the toilet is no easy task. It’s messy, hard, and just gross. Good thing this cat volunteered to get the job done.
41. Kneeling like a guy
That dog looks more like a weird guy in a dog suit than a weird dog kneeling in front of the TV. Plus, the way he’s so hooked to whatever he’s watching is baffling.
42. Flirting
This dog is looking for a date. With those eyes and that attitude, I’m sure he wouldn’t have a hard time.
43. Procrastinating
Cats have a reputation for being lazy. Well, with that many clothes to sort and fold, I probably would have done what this cat did.
44. Just lying on the bed
This dog is either drunk or he’s just really weird. I’ve never seen a dog cross his legs that way.
45. Sitting like a human
This dog has a really strange habit whenever he takes a trip to the vet. Even though the person who took him that day has been warned about it, he was still surprised to see how the dog sat throughout the trip.
46. Looking productive
This dog is exactly how most of us look like whenever the boss walks by. We do our best to look productive and hope he notices.
47. Learning how to surf
Learning how to balance on a surfboard isn’t that easy for humans. This dog is making it look like a piece of cake.
48. Playing the drums
Dogs are great when it comes to learning new tricks. Playing the drums, however, is not something you’d think this dog would learn.
49. Licking the pizza
Pizzas are loaded with calories which is why they aren’t the best foods to indulge in if you are trying to lose weight. This dog was trying to cheat by licking the pizza slice instead of eating it. I wonder how many calories he’s getting with that.
50. Stretching
This dog’s flexibility is quite impressive. He’s probably even better than me in doing that yoga pose.
51. Too hot
He’s refusing to go out because it’s hot. He’d rather stay and watch everyone play than to step out of that vehicle and get burnt.
52. Batman and Robin
These cats don’t act like average humans. They are superheroes and you better believe that.
53. Not feeling it
Posing for a picture isn’t fun, particularly if you’re forced to wear a costume you don’t like. Take it from this cat. He’s dressed as Santa Claus and he’s not even the biggest fan of this festive season.
54. Bullying
Bullying is quite common among cats. I guess it’s because most of them are grumpy and hate getting bothered when they are sleeping. This poor cat learned his lesson the hard way.
55. Move out of the way
This adorable corgi could no longer stand the way his human was driving. He decided to take matters into his own hands- or paws.
56. Staying up all night
Staying up all night to study for a test isn’t easy. Just look at this dog. He looks like he’s going to pass out anytime.
57. Going to school
I’ve never seen anyone going to school as happy as this sloth. There must be something different in his class.
58. At your service
If you find this adorable Shiba at the mall, you’d probably feel excited to go shopping. He’s really dressed to impress.
59. Quite embarrassed
If you’ve ever been volunteered by your friends to perform at your company’s Christmas party, then you’d realize this reaction in an instant. It’s that mixture of regret and embarrassment.
60. Sneezing
Cats are no different from humans when it comes to sneezing. We all get that pre-sneeze face and honestly, it’s not pretty.
61. Taking a bath
This dog finds bath time extremely relaxing. In fact, he gets mad every time someone interrupts him.
62. Just enjoying the beach
This picture was taken by a family when they went to the beach. The parents sent it to their kid, making him aware that the family dog is taking his place.
63. When it’s Monday
This dog dragging himself out of bed is most of us whenever Monday comes. There’s just something about that day that makes us extra slow and lazy.
64. Loading the dishwasher
This adorable dog might look classy and sassy, but she certainly knows how to help her mom around. Even with the pearl necklace and two pigtails, she’s comfortable enough to help with cleaning the dishes. I’m just not sure if she really cleaned the plates using the dishwasher or she licked them clean.
65. Changing the light bulb
This is something you don’t get to see every day. Is a cat helping his human change the light bulb? This one’s a gem.
