Some pets spend their days inside the house. They nap in their favorite spots, eat from their dish, and take care of their business in a box or on a pad. Their whole world is within four walls, but they don’t mind.
Other pets get to go outside. A lot of larger dogs fall into that category although it includes smaller ones too. If you have a pup, you probably take him or her on a daily walk. Perhaps you take him to a dog park where he can make friends. Or maybe he gets to hitch a ride in the car.
Many cats also enjoy going outside. There, they set up a territory. Within it, they can climb trees, chase smaller animals, and simply watch the world go by. If you have a cat that goes outside, you’ve probably been the recipient of some unwelcome “gifts” like mice, squirrels, birds, or frogs.
But when our pets are ready to come inside? Well, they usually put up a fuss. They have all sorts of ways to let us know their patience is wearing thin. They’ll do just about anything to coax, convince, or just annoy their owners. Here are 75 animals desperately trying to do just that.
1. “COME ON”
This dog doesn’t need to talk to express his frustration. If he could break this door down, he would.
Here we see two different tactics employed by a cat and dog. The dog is pleading for compassion because of the love they share. The cat, on the other hand, is threatening.
Sure, we get it: lock the white cat out in the snow, followed by laughing and taking pictures of him. Have you ever thought about how he feels? COLD, that’s how.
Sometimes, even wildlife seems determined to make their way inside homes. But in case you were wondering, it’s not a good idea to let squirrels in your house, no matter how cute they are.
When your pet ventures outside, you never know what — or who — they’ll bring home. Then it’s just a matter of keeping the friend outside and letting the pet in.
Look at this good dog, waiting so patiently for his owner to let her inside the house. Now, stop taking pictures and reward her good behavior.
30. “IT’S COLD AND IT’S WET”
The saying “Curiosity killed the cat” was probably invented after a kitty wanted to go outside, only to learn that’s not always fun. Sometimes, for example, there’s snow.
It is just me or does this raccoon look like it’s offering a sheepish apology? I think his roommate kicked him out and threw all his clothes on the lawn.
While this Husky might be willing to wait to come in, he’s not happy about it. For now, he’s just going to sit there and make this face until his owners freak out enough to take action.
When your cat’s this mad about being locked outside, you might want to make a plan. Before opening the door, decide which direction you’re going to run.
If looks could kill, this one would bore holes right through you. Since this cat can’t get in, he settled on sitting and seething until someone opens the door.
Most cats love to go outside…until they’re outside, that is. Then they quickly learn there are a lot of unpleasant things out there, like dogs and cars.
When dogs are sent outside for bad behavior, the best thing they can do is show they’ve changed. Look at this good boy, lying down and waiting patiently.
