70 Animals Making Us Laugh With Their First Time Experiences

1. Kitty’s first jaunt in the snow

This cat looks unimpressed by just how cold it is outside.

And we’ve been there.

We have the feeling it won’t be lingering at the door for a while asking to be let out!

2. First time in a creek

We think Hannah likes the water. And we also think her parents should plan for an extra hour or so on hikes from now on.

We wonder just how long it took her to come out.

3. Furball’s first time in the fridge

He tried to get into the fridge relentlessly.

Of course, it was less fun than he expected.

His face looks like all of life’s disappointments hit him at once.

4. First time on TV

Do you think this dog is a little nervous in front of the camera?

Or is this how it “acts natural”?

5. First time with the vacuum

This is the first time that these cats have ever seen a vacuum. Needless to say, they are quite intimidated.

But who isn’t really?

The loud sounds, the sucking action, and it seems to move on its own. Creepy stuff.

6. First time meeting kittens

This big lug here seems slightly intimidated by his new brothers and sisters. T

hey are very curious about him but he knows who rules the roost now.

Poor pup.

7. First time meeting a baby

We don’t blame this cat for being alarmed.

Who knew humans came in such a tiny size?

What the heck is she supposed to do with this thing?!

8. First time up the stairs

This is the first time these pups have attempted the stairs on their own.

It’s pretty exhausting stuff when you’re shorter than the step itself.

Best to take a nap halfway through.

9. First sight of his shadow

Shadows are confusing – and dogs’ brains aren’t that big.

This guys seems afraid of the black dog following him around.

But at least he’ll go away at night.

10. Kitty’s first solid food

This was taken just seconds after this kitty named Gremlin had his first solid food.

Looks like they better not feed him after midnight or get him wet!

11. Puppy’s first mirror

This little pupper had never seen himself before this moment. He had probably never seen another dog since he was with his littermates.

Well, now he knows just how adorable he is!

12. First dog sighting

This cat looks a bit suspicious of this new creature.

And we don’t know what it’s looking at, but it seems to be one mighty large dog!

13. First sand in the hooves

Do you remember your first time at the beach? That first feeling of sand between your toes?

You were probably this happy too!

14. First trip outside

This kitty just discovered how big the world really is.

Though his view is only from the deck, perhaps it’s even more frightening from that height.

That or he’s making a nefarious plan.

15. Litter’s first kitty sighting

Golden Retrievers are known for being great mamas and guardians.

It looks like they are quite interested in these little kittens. It’s too cute for words!

16. First snow on the snoot

This pup seems to like the snow more than the cat.

He looks like he is having a great time with this new white fluff.

And that yellow stuff? It wasn’t there before he got here.

17. First whiff of baby

This cat is trying to get the know the baby and giving it a good sniff.

But we have the feeling the sweet baby smell isn’t the only scent in the air!

18. Dog’s first playground trip

To be fair, this is what his face will look like the thousandth time going down the slide too.

So, maybe this isn’t a special first but it is a first.

Just look at him! Adorbs.

19. First bask in the grass

This kitten is just four weeks old and this is her first time in the grass.

She loves the way that it feels on her back.

This is a lesson we can all learn on appreciating the great outdoors.

20. First high-five greeting

It’s hard to get the high-five right. But at least no one was left hanging.

That’s way more embarassing than a whiff.

21. First time with the wind in her hair

The first time you stick your head out the window of the car is a moment you’ll never forget. Actually, don’t try that.

But dogs can get away with that. This girl never wants to go back inside now.

22. Kitty’s first Christmas

All the toys that this cat ever had and this Christmas ornament is the best of them all.

He wants that thing so bad that he’d do anything for it. Anything.

23. Puppy’s first squirrel

Well, the older dog looks unimpressed, but the puppy looks like his whole world is shaken.

We bet the squirrel is pretty freaked out too.

24. First glimpse of his sister

This big doggo is a real sweetheart.

He just loves his new little baby girl.

That or he’s really confused.

25. First time on the ground

This is what happens when your cat is raised in an apartment.

This is her first trip outside and she doesn’t know if it’s safe yet.

Luckily, she’s on a leash, so she’s all good.

26. Kitties’ first watermelon

These cats don’t know what this watermelon is but it does smell good.

So, why not try to take a bite out of it?

If they could, they’d carry it off to devour away from the papparazzi.

27. First look at the magical ceiling fan

The first time that these cats saw this ceiling fan move, they were flabbergasted.

What else do they not know? Does the vacuum make sound too?

28. Doggo’s first kitty scratch

This poor guy met a cat for the first time and did not come out on top.

Cats are mean, according to this little pupper.

Or at least, that’s what he’s going to assume.

29. Puppy’s first bathtime

Baths are lots of fun, right?

Depends on who you ask.

This dog isn’t quite sure about it.

It’s not the worst ever but what’s with all this funny tasting white stuff?

30. First snow day

Now this is a dog that loves the snow.

It’s his first time in the white stuff and he is more than happy to have a snow day to play with his favorite humans.

31. First time on the subway

This dog’s first train ride is like no other.

Either there is a rule against pets on the floor of the train or he is quite scared.

We’re guessing it’s the latter.

32. First snow sighting

This cat must think it’s the end of the world.

It is snowing outside and he can not figure out what is happening to the window.

There’s something out there, something bad.

33. Kitten’s first rainstorm

This cat had never been out in the rain before this moment.

He was doing fine before it started, but now he wants inside so bad he could tear the door down.

Someone let that kitty in!

34. First nap with dad

Aww. This puppy was just adopted and us having its first big sleep with its new human.

We predict many future happy naps ahead for both of them.

First night home with my first puppy! from r/aww

35. Kitty’s first carpet

It looks like someone got into the catnip and THEN found the carpet.

It is so very confused about what’s going on.

But how does one explain?

36. First breath of fresh air

That’s so sweet! This adorable kitty is getting a good whiff of the neighborhood for the first time.

And she’s clearly concentrating on all the new smells.

37. First snow nope

Most dogs like the snow, but it looks like this one is the exception.

He walked out and turned right back around.

Is it a good day to go potty inside?

38. First taste of lime

This was his first and his last lime.

It certainly doesn’t taste anything like the other treats he has been offered.

He should have known by the smell that it wasn’t bacon.

39. Ralph’s first day out

This is Ralph. It is his first time out in public and he is trying so hard to behave.

All he wants to do is go and greet everyone with a big jump and a lot of licks.

40. First sun stare

This is the most adorable kitten in the whole world.

At just two weeks old, she got to go out and see the sun for the first time.

Our eyes are as misty as hers (but we hope she doesn’t stare too long!).

41. First alone time in the pool

This puppy has no idea what she’s supposed to do in the pool by herself.

She’s just going to stare at the water until something comes to him.

How long do you think she stood there like that?

My puppy went into the pool all by herself for the first time :) from r/aww

42. First swing at the park

This is a happy camper who is going to the human park for the first time.

His favorite thing there is the swing – he fits so perfectly and his favorite human gives him good underdogs.

43. Baby’s first bubbles

Zara looks positively entranced by those bubbles.

She’s going to get a nasty taste in her mouth once she tries to bite one – but maybe she’ll just stare.

44. First long walk

This sweet, sweet Husky pup just went for his first walk and it was exhausting.

So exhausting that he couldn’t even make it home on his own.

45. First meeting with baby

This dog looks mighty suspicious on this newcomer.

Even the guy on TV is wondering what might happen next.

46. First fall day

This adorable pupper had never been outside during the fall before – he was born in the spring.

But this is his favorite season because dry leaves are a blast.

47. Kitten’s first orb

It’s Christmas time again but it’s this cat’s first Christmas. Or rather, her first Christmas tree.

She knows exactly what it’s for. It’s for destroying as soon as the humans go to bed.

48. First outdoor fun

The first time you venture out into the garden, you don’t know what to expect.

Then you see all of the flowers, grass, dirt, and crazy sunshine. It’s heaven!

49. First sibling reunion

These littermates are meeting for the first time since their separation just weeks after they were born.

They remember each other and are ready to pick up where they left off.

50. First hop in the grass

It looks like this puppy is half bunny.

Do they all hop this gleefully?

We can only hope so because he spreads such joy!

51. First big hike

Maybe next time his owners will cut the hike in half.

Well, unless everyone needed a nap at the top. But it looks like there’s not much time to get back down.

Took him on his first hike from r/aww

52. First time curiosity irked the cat

This cat went outside for the first time and came back after being “attacked” by a spiderweb.

Her whole life flashed before her eyes that day and she never wants it to happen again.

53. First time hearing her name

Her owner rudely didn’t share her name, but whatever it was going to be, she clearly didn’t approve.

We’ll assume mom or came up with something better when they got to know each other.

The face she gave me when she heard her name for the first time… from r/aww

54. First time blending in with the outdoors

This cat is none too pleased to be outside, which is surprising since she looks like snow.

However, she wishes to go back inside this instant.

Whatever you say, grumpy cat.

55. First bird sighting

These kitties had never seen a bird before and they could not be more shocked.

So many contradicting feelings. Is it a friend? Is it food?

Why choose?

56. First time back in the wild

Well, that’s embarrassing.

This is the first time these squirrels have been outside since they were brought in to be rehabbed.

It looks like they’re confused about what constitutes a tree though.

Guess the messy ponytail wasn’t the way to go.

57. First breath of winter air

This pretty cat looks like a domestic tiger and he knows it.

This is his first time out in the snow and he’s the first cat to really enjoy it.

Because he’s a boss.

58. First taste of sand

It took this gorgeous pup a second to realize that sand isn’t tasty.

But as soon as he got the picture, he had the time of his life.

59. First stick located!

This sweet pup went to the park and found her first stick!

This is way better than all of those toys that her owner bought her, silly little thing.

60. First taste of peanut butter

This is the first time this dog got the taste of peanut butter and he is pleased with the taste.

In fact, he is quite addicted and wants more immediately.

But we had to be told that because his face says otherwise to us.

61. First solo adventure

This is the first time this little kitty ventured “away from home” – or so he thought.

In reality, he’s only feet away from his mama but he thinks he’s on an adventure.

62. First time in a box

We know cats love boxes, but we never thought about what a joyous occasion their first box would be.

This guy is so stoked to have a great new toy.

His first time in a cardboard box from r/aww

63. First stolen corn

It’s true that you shouldn’t give corn to dogs because it is hard for them to digest. T

That aside, he hopped into the car after a day in the field and found it himself.

64. First cow kisses

This dog is friendly indeed.

He is definitely not cut out for the farm life if it means he has to do any wrangling.

After all, cows are friends and equals.

65. First outdoor adventure

His first time outside of the apartment and he doesn’t know what to think.

Sure, the grass is soft and pretty but where is the couch? Where is the litterbox?

66. First flight

These ducks probably can’t quite fly yet, but they will gracefully glide down to meet their mama duck.

They sure do try hard though – and that’s how you make it work!

67. First snowflake

This cat had never seen snow before and I don’t think she likes it very much.

It’s cold and wet, two things that cats do not like at all.

Can we go back inside now?

68. First freedom ride

This sweet and beautiful girl got adopted on this day.

Just look at how happy she is to be going home for the first time.

All that time without a family makes this day extra special.

69. First kangaroo sighting

The look on this dog’s face says everything.

He wants to know if his human friend is seeing what he is seeing and if he is as shocked to see such a creature.

70. First snow hop

Could this corgi look any happier?

This is one happy winter pup.

And we know how Waffles feels – we love the snow too!
